Student Rights and Responsibilities The purpose of this document is to provide students with a general overview of both their rights and responsibilities as members of the Santa Fe College community. This list of student rights and responsibilities was developed using various documents that mandate College policies, rules and procedures. This document is not intended to create new or additional rights or responsibilities or to supersede or supplement existing rules and procedures, but merely to serve as a helpful guide for students. In the event a rule or procedure is modified, the terms of that rule or procedure will govern the students' rights and responsibilities rather than this summary document Academic Advisement. Students have the right to academic advisement. Academic advisors provide degree-seeking students with information and guidance as they develop a plan to attain their educational goals - including course selection and sequencing; as well as answers to their transfer questions. Students are assigned an academic advisor based on program of study. The name of each student's advisor is listed in eSantaFe. Academic Freedom.
