As a comprehensive educational community, BCCC promotes an active and challenging learning environment. Varying viewpoints and differences of opinion in such an environment are natural and expected. Students enjoy a host of rights and responsibilities in addressing issues and concerns. Student concerns are generally best resolved at the level at which the concern developed.
Communication is the key to resolution.
A variety of mechanisms exist to assist students in processing such concerns. Faculty members, administrators, and College staff are receptive to discussion and welcome interaction with students. The Dean of Student Affairs serves as an ombudsman for students and can assist in directing students to the most appropriate area or person to resolve concerns. Counseling services, department chairpersons, and area administrators can also provide assistance in this area. Students are encouraged to address concerns in an appropriate and timely manner and to utilize resources available to best assist in the process.
