CHAPTER 2: STUDENT AFFAIRS
POLICY 2B.4 Student Activities: Approval to Add
or Drop Activities
ACTIVITY
PROGRAMS ( 7/1/83 )
Purpose
The college will provide students the
opportunity to increase their skills and proficiency through
educational experiences that will complement the academic
program by offering a well-managed, comprehensive program
of activities. The activity offerings should provide the
opportunity for maximum active participation by students
through the broadest offerings possible within resource
limitations.
Program Changes
The decision to add or discontinue an
activity will be based on the following criteria:
- Student interest based on participation
or identification of need
- Availability of staff
- Availability of facility
- Comparability to other community
colleges
- Program balance
Additions or
deletions to the activity program will be reviewed through
the college Communication Process. The President makes the
final decision on activity programs.
Activities that are discontinued could
be offered on a club, intramural, or extramural basis if
interest and resources permit.
Activity Budgets
Expenditures common to all activities,
such as travel and meals, will be funded in accordance with
state regulations.
Participation
Requirements
- Each activity, when approved, will
be assigned a minimum participation level. Only those
participants enrolled for three or more credits during
