Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities

Weatherford College students neither gain nor lose any of the rights and responsibilities of other citizens by virtue of their student status. They are subject to the same federal, state, and local laws as non-students and they are the beneficiaries of the same safeguards of individual rights as non-students.

As members of the WC community, students are subject to the rules and regulations of the College. Students retain the responsibility of citizenship upon enrollment in the College District. The College District expects that each student will conduct himself or herself in a manner compatible with the College District’s function as an educational institution. Regardless of place of residence, each student must observe all federal, state, and applicable local laws both on and off campus. Any student who violates any provision of these laws is subject to disciplinary action, including expulsion, notwithstanding action taken by civil authorities on account of the violation.
