Non-Discrimination Policy Bloomfield College admits students of any race, creed, age, sex, or national origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally available at the College. It does not discrimi- nate on the basis of race, creed, age, physical handicap, sex, sexual orientation, or national origin in the administration of educational or admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic or other College-administered programs. Bloomfield College is committed to the principle of non- discrimination, as set forth in the regulations of Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972.
Americans with Disabilities Act Policy Assurance of equal educational opportunity rests upon legal foundations established by federal law, specifically the Rehabili- tation Act of 1973 including Section 504, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974–also called the Buckley Amendment–provides that colleges and schools may NOT release information about students or provide access to student records (with certain exceptions listed in the statute) without students' written consent. This law makes it possible for students to examine their records by making an appointment with the Registrar. Those who wish to see their student personnel records should contact the Dean of Students. Students who wish to challenge the contents of academic files should contact the Registrar. Those who wish to contest student personnel records should contact the Judiciary Board.
Academic Regulations and Procedures The Academic Regulations and Procedures set forth in this Catalog constitute student rights and responsibilities. The College assumes every student is acquainted with them. Failure to note the regulations will never excuse non-compliance. The College reserves the right to change its regulations, schedule of classes, procedures, courses of study, and schedule of fees without previous notice.
Note: The procedures outlined in this Catalog shall be followed by all students irrespective of first date of attendance at Bloomfield College. 3

The College’s efforts to provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities must be measured against the goal of full participation and integration. Services and programs to promote these benefits for people with disabilities shall complement and support, but not duplicate, the College’s regular services and programs. Achieving full participation and integra- tion of people with disabilities requires the cooperative efforts of all of the College’s departments, offices, and personnel. To this end, the College will continue to strive to achieve excellence in its services and to assure that its services are delivered equitably and efficiently to all of its members.

Bloomfield College recognizes the importance of a safe and secure campus environment and strives to maintain a campus security program that provides protection for students, faculty and administrative employees. The Office of Security is primarily responsible for providing a program of campus security and reports to the Vice President of Student Affairs. The campus security staff is provided through a contract with a professional security agency. Superviso- ry personnel is provided jointly by Bloomfield College and this professional agency. This combination provides unarmed security coverage 24 hours per day, 7 days per week through foot patrols, enforcement of parking regulations, and building access control where applicable. In addition, there is a roving foot patrol officer 24 hours a day. Jurisdiction of the security officers is limited to the property at the Bloomfield College campus and grounds. INDEX 333
