¹û¶³´«Ã½

The Office of Student Affairs encourages and supports students with a variety of foundational, educational and organizational resources that enhance the overall student experience and prepares students for success in their academic and personal endeavors.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

¹û¶³´«Ã½ River State ¹û¶³´«Ã½ resembles society as a whole. Students are treated as mature adults who are responsible for their own actions. There are rules and regulations that are followed for the benefit of all, and each person has a right to expect courtesy, integrity, and good citizenship in dealing with others.

This ideology is reflected in the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Pioneer Promise:

Integrity, respect, scholarship and community are the core values that guide our conduct, performance and decisions at ¹û¶³´«Ã½. As an ¹û¶³´«Ã½ student, I promise the following:

• Integrity—to lead by example and practice personal and academic honesty.
• Respect—to support the learning community by recognizing and respecting the rights and contributions of others.
• Scholarship—to value learning as my primary purpose of being a member of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ community.
• Community—to strive to give back and embrace diversity through service and compassion for others.

Dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is subject to disciplinary action. Upon enrollment at ¹û¶³´«Ã½, all students assume the responsibility of compliance and cooperation with ¹û¶³´«Ã½ policies and Campus Coalition Government regulations, just as each student is responsible to the larger community, state and nation in which he/she lives.

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ does not permit the possession or use of alcoholic beverages on campus or at any ¹û¶³´«Ã½ function. Possession of illegal narcotics is not allowed and will result in suspension of the student from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½. Gambling is also prohibited. Students who violate the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ regulations or who display misconduct either on or off campus can expect appropriate disciplinary measures to be taken; these measures include disciplinary probation, suspension and expulsion. In all disciplinary matters, the decision of the President of ¹û¶³´«Ã½ River State ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is final.

Student ID Cards

A current valid ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Student ID card is required to check out materials from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ libraries, to gain entry to athletic and other college events, to receive various student services and to utilize campus recreation facilities.

Necessary Documentation

In order to obtain your Student ID card, present your current student schedule showing paid receipt and a valid photo ID to the Student Affairs Office.

Replacement Cards

A replacement card may be obtained if your card has been lost, stolen or damaged. The fee to replace an ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Student ID card is $5.00. You must present a current copy of a class schedule if the last issued card was not within the current semester, and a valid form of photo identification. You must also be able to provide your Student ID number at the time of replacement.

It is a violation of student regulations to have two current ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Student ID cards in your possession at any time.

Grievances

Students who have grievances will have an opportunity to express them through proper channels. The President has established the following review committees to handle all forms of student grievances:

• Academic Review/Admissions Committee
• Appeals Committee
• Student Affairs Committee

Students seeking review of a grievance must make a written request for review and direct it to Student Affairs or Student Ombudsman/Student Advocate.
