The mission of the Student Development Division is to design and implement support systems that will foster the growth and development of the whole student and enable the college to become a more effective learning community. In collaboration with faculty, staff and administration, the division is responsible for providing valuable programs and services to complement the educational process and assist all students in reaching their goals.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR

It is the common goal of the faculty, staff and administration to foster a campus environment that is conducive to teaching, learning and personal development. Students attending Piedmont Technical College have rights and responsibilities within this academic community, and along with all faculty and staff, are expected to exhibit attitudes and behaviors that reflect the core values of the college: respect, responsibility, honesty and self-discipline.

The College Code of Conduct, Student Responsibilities, the Student Code for the South Carolina Technical College System and the Student Grievance Procedure for the South Carolina Technical College System are all included in the Student Handbook/Calendar.

READMISSION OF SUSPENDED STUDENTS

It is the college’s belief that any individual who meets admission criteria be allowed to attend the college and pursue an educational program.

From time to time, however, a student may be suspended from the college for disciplinary reasons because he or she cannot abide by the rules and regulations set forth in the Student Code for the South Carolina Technical College System. When a student’s behavior is such that it interrupts the educational process for other students or has the potential to harm any student, staff or faculty member, then the sanction of suspension may be imposed for a specified length of time, depending on the severity of the behavior. Students are clearly advised in writing that at the end of their stated suspension period, he or she must meet with the Vice President for Student Development prior to being reinstated in the college.
