College Legal Assurances

Colby Community College is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of race, gender, national origin, religion, age, and disability in admissions, all as required by applicable law and regulations under the Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX regulations of 1972, Section 504 of the Social Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. CCC supports the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which ensures accessible facilities and fair employment practices. CCC policies provide classrooms, the college environment, and a workplace free of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communications of a sexual nature. Federal and state law, as well as Board of Trustees policy, prohibits sexual harassment. If you have questions or believe that you have been subjected to sexual harassment, you should report it to the Vice President of Student Affairs. If unavailable, contact the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, only directory information about students or former students will be disclosed to any person or agency without the written permission of the student except (1) CCC administrators and instructors, (2) certain federal officials specified in the act, (3) stated educational authorities, (4) accrediting agencies, (5) upon receipt of proper judicial orders, or (6) officials of other schools in which the student seeks to enroll or has enrolled. At the request of the student, directory information will be withheld. Upon written request, the student may inspect information in their official file and be allowed to challenge inaccurate information.

College policy and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 states that the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs, alcohol, and cereal malt beverages by students or employees on the property of CCC or during activities involving the College is strictly prohibited.

CCC annually distributes the college security report as required by the Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990.
