Things to Know:
• Student Code of Conduct: Students must comply with all district policies, including the Student Code of
Conduct per the Cuyamaca or Grossmont College Catalogs. Student Rights and Responsibilities are also
outlined there.
• Student Communication and Records: Students enrolled in community college courses must act
independently and on their own behalf when communicating with their instructors and/or other college
personnel. Under the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), college instructors and staff may not discuss
student performance or college record information with parents/ legal guardians. Under Section 49061 of
the California Education Code, parents/guardians of community college students do not have a right to
access their children’s student records without the written consent of the student. This is regardless of
whether the child is under the age of 18.
• Academic Standing and the College Transcript: Students enrolling in courses at Cuyamaca College
are establishing a permanent academic record. Students are responsible to know the deadlines for adding
or dropping courses. Instructors are not required to drop students for non-attendance. Please be sure to
check the website for deadline date
• Your high school must determine if college credits can be used to fulfill high school diploma
requirements. Please speak to your high school counselor if you have questions about this.
