STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Glendale Community College provides its students with a
wide variety of academic assistance and support services.
It is the responsibility of each student to meet the require-
ments printed in the college catalog, the class schedule and
college announcements.
The college establishes certain academic policies and
requirements which must be completed before a degree
or certificate can be granted. These include major and unit
requirements, as well as verification of satisfying course
prerequisites. Students also are responsible to see that they
meet the admission requirements to the college or university
of their choice if they elect to pursue an educational goal
beyond their sophomore year. While counselors, faculty,
administrators and staff will provide students with infor-
mation and assistance, responsibility for meeting these
requirements remains with the students.
