2016-2017 Catalog

Disclaimer

The Salish Kootenai College catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. The College reserves the right to change or withdraw courses, to change the fees, rules and calendar for admissions, registration, instruction, and graduation, and to change other regulations affecting the student body, at any time. The College reserves the right to change policies or revise curricula as necessary. If the College decides to terminate a degree program, students enrolled in that program will be provided written notice. Students will be afforded a set time for program completion, determined through a “teach out” plan established by the College and the academic department which offered the degree program.

Student Responsibility for Catalog

Each student is responsible for knowing the information printed in this Catalog. Failure to read these regulations will not be considered an excuse for noncompliance. Please check the SKC Student Handbook for additional information. The Student Handbook places full responsibility on the student for registering for appropriate courses and for fulfilling all requirements for a certificate or degree set forth in this catalog, as amended from time to time. No agent or employee of the College has the authority to warrant graduation, the attainment of any type of license, or career goal.

The College does not accept any responsibility for delays in graduation or attainment of career goals resulting from errors in registration, cancelled courses, time schedule changes, changes in degree requirements, or similar or related changes, or for errors resulting from consultation with or reliance upon any information acquired from any college employee. Advisors’ signatures on pre-registration, drop-add or similar cards, or forms do not necessarily indicate agreement with or approval of the student’s choice of courses, nor may they be construed in any way as a guarantee that the student’s choice of courses is sufficient for graduation or attainment of any career goal.
