Philosophy
Pima Community College is committed to and welcomes all who seek to increase their knowledge, gain skills, enrich their lives, and contribute to the well-being of our local and global communities through participation in the learning opportunities it offers. Sharing in this mission, the administration, faculty, staff, and students of the College join to create a learning community. We aspire to provide quality learning in a caring environment and to encourage respect for all persons within and beyond our diverse, multicultural community. In order to fulfill this mission, Pima Community College is accountable to set forth clearly the rights, responsibilities, academic performance requirements, and code of conduct for students as members of the College community. Student rights, responsibilities, and rules of conduct are summarized in the College Catalog, Pima Community College website, the Student Handbook, and in the printed Student Rights and Responsibilities document. By enrolling in Pima Community College, a student accepts responsibility to become fully acquainted with the College's requirements, rules, and regulations; to accept the College's areas of jurisdiction; and to respect the rights, property, safety, and dignity of others in the College community. Pima Community College has the right and responsibility to determine when its policies, rules and regulations are violated and to decide the appropriate course of action. Students are entitled to fairness in judicial and disciplinary proceedings as outlined within. The College's central purpose in defining the rights, responsibilities, academic requirements, and code of conduct for students is to foster a community of inquiry where students can enjoy the freedom to develop their potential-intellectually, personally, professionally, and as constructive participants in the community and the world.
