All students are expected to read, know, and fulfill the expectations set out in Students' Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct.

Students are expected to know both their rights and their responsibilities. As adults in an adult learning community, students are expected to resolve interpersonal conflicts through healthy, direct conversation and are expected to report unresolved, serious matters to the college, as noted under "Complaints."

If you believe you have witnessed or heard about serious behaviors which pose a threat to the health and safety of persons on any LBCC campus or event site, please report to Public Safety or file a report.

LBCC has a Threat Assessment Team that evaluates behavior to determine whether a person, by choices and behaviors, is putting others in danger. Often when we are learning, we experience uncomfortable situations. When uncomfortable becomes unsafe, we should begin to create a safety plan and inform college officials to allow us to make inquiry or investigate.
