Student Grievance Process

The Student Life Office oversees the Student Grievance Process in accordance with the College Administrative Procedures 5530. Students are protected against capricious, arbitrary, unreasonable, unlawful, false, malicious, or professionally inappropriate evaluations or behavior by a College employee. Student complaints may be classified as grievances and fall into two categories: Academic- and Non-Academic. Academic grievances involve grades. To grieve a grade, a student must prove that the professor issued a grade by mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence (Education Code 76224). Non-Academic grievances include: any act or threat of intimidation, harassment, or physical aggression, arbitrary action, violation of student rights, or imposition of sanctions without proper regard to College policy as specified in the Education Code, Board Policy, and/or Administrative Procedures, violation of Title IX Education Amendments of 1972, or violation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with reference to the rights of disabled students.

Students can obtain the Student Grievance form on-line at Complaints and Grievances. Complaints of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking can be filed online at Discrimination Complaint . Students have no limit on filing a sexual harassment complaint under Title IX and up to one year from the date of the incident to file a discrimination complaint. 

Grievances must be filed no later than 30 school days (Monday - Friday when classes are in session) after the beginning of the primary term following the alleged violation, or 30 school days from the time that the student learns of the basis for the grievance. To begin the formal grievance process students are required to meet with the Student Life Director regarding the grievance prior to starting the process since timelines are established for every step and must be met precisely.

The process for filing a grievance includes two levels: in Level I (informal level) the student obtains the grievance form online, meets with the Director of Student Life, initiates the grievance with established timelines and attempts to resolve the grievance by meeting first with the faculty member (or staff member/administrator for non-academic grievances), then with the department chair or immediate supervisor, and then with the division dean. In the event that the grievance cannot be resolved within 20 instructional days, the student may proceed to Level II (formal grievance) in which the student submits all signed forms and documents to the Student Life Office within the established timelines. Level II consists of a Grievance Review Committee. Level III consists of a Formal Hearing.  Refer to the Student Grievance Form for detailed instructions and guidelines.  

Traffic and Parking

Users of Mt. San Antonio College campus roads and parking areas must observe and obey all traffic laws of the State of California and the College traffic and parking rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 21113 of the California Vehicle Code and the Mt. San Antonio College Board of Trustees (BP 6750, AP 6750).

All vehicles parked on campus must posses a valid parking permit. The Student Parking Permit is only valid in designated student lots. Student Parking Permits are not valid in designated employee parking areas, pay lots, in spaces controlled by parking meters, or spaces identified as reserved. Free 30-minute parking is available north of the Bookstore (Building 9A), west of the Administration Building (Building 4), and south of the Performing Arts Center. Permit parking regulations are strictly enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Department of Police & Campus Safety Annual Security (Statistical Crime) Report 

Please review the Annual Security Report at https://www.mtsac.edu/safety/asr.html

Student Academic Honesty

All members of the academic community have a responsibility to ensure that scholastic honesty is maintained. Faculty have the responsibility of planning and supervising all academic work in order to encourage honest and individual effort, and of taking appropriate action if instances of academic dishonesty are discovered.

Honesty is primarily the responsibility of each student. The College considers cheating to be a voluntary act for which there may be reason, but for which there is no acceptable excuse.

Cheating and Plagiarism (Academic Dishonesty)

The term “Cheating” includes but is not limited to:

  • Plagiarism
  • Receiving or knowingly supplying unauthorized information
  • Using unauthorized material or sources
  • Changing an answer after work has been graded and presenting it as improperly graded
  • Illegally accessing confidential information through a computer
  • Taking an examination for another student or having another person take an examination for you
  • Presenting another person’s work as your own
  • Forging or altering registration or grade documents
  • Submitting collectively developed work as your own, unless specifically allowed by the professor
  • Other methods that misrepresent original and/or independent work

A professor who determines that a student has cheated may give the student a failing grade for the assignment and shall report the alleged academic dishonesty to the Student Life Office, which will maintain a record of the report and appropriate action under the provisions of the Administrative Procedures on Student Discipline (AP 5520).

Students are advised that allegations of dishonesty are serious, and can lead to disciplinary sanctions including suspension and expulsion. (BP 4290, AP 4290)

Plagiarism

“Plagiarism is a direct violation of intellectual and academic honesty. Although it exists in many forms, all plagiarism refers to the same act: representing somebody else’s words or ideas as one’s own. The most extreme forms of plagiarism are the use of material authored by another person or obtained from a commercial source, or the use of passages copied word for word without acknowledgment. Paraphrasing an author’s idea or quoting even limited portions of their text without proper citation is also an act of plagiarism. Even putting someone else’s ideas into one’s own words without acknowledgment may be plagiarism. In none of its forms can plagiarism be tolerated in an academic community. It may constitute grounds for a failing grade, probation, suspension, or expulsion.”

“One distinctive mark of an educated person is the ability to use language correctly and effectively to express ideas. Faculty assign written work for the purpose of helping students achieve that mark. Each instructor will outline specific criteria, but all expect students to present work that represents the student’s understanding of the subject in the student’s own words. It is seldom expected that student papers will be based entirely or even primarily on original ideas or original research.”

“Therefore, to incorporate the concepts of others may be appropriate with proper acknowledgment of sources, and to quote others directly by means of quotation marks and acknowledgments is proper. However, if a paper consists entirely of quotations and citations, the paper should be rewritten to show the student’s own understanding and expressive ability. The purpose of the written assignment (i.e., development of communication and analytic skills) should be kept in mind as each paper is prepared. It should not be evaded through plagiarism.”1

San Antonio College Department of Police & Campus Safety has a memorandum of understanding mandated by the “Crime Awareness and Campus Safety Act of 1990,” that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has jurisdiction to investigate all crimes occurring on Mt. San Antonio College Campus. (BP 3520, AP 3520)

Crime Prevention

The Department of Police & Campus Safety's primary responsibility is the safety and security of all members of the College community. Every effort is made to inform students and staff of criminal activity or any other concern that may be an immediate threat to the safety and security of those on campus. Information and workshops on crime prevention are made available to College students and staff. It is the responsibility of every member of the campus community to act in ways that promote the safety of self, others, and the protection of District property. (AP 3500)

Campus Emergency Phone System

Mt. San Antonio College has installed a campus wide emergency phone system. This system is divided into two primary segments. The inner campus system consists of emergency phones that are placed on the outside of selected campus buildings and are identified by the familiar blue light affixed to the top of the phone housing.

The second segment of emergency phones consists of stand-alone emergency phone towers, located in open campus spaces, primarily in campus parking lots. These phone towers are identified by a blue light affixed to the top of the tower. Use of any of these emergency phones will connect the user to the Department of Police & Campus Safety during normal business hours, located in Building 23. During hours when the campus is closed, the Emergency phones will connect the user directly to a cell phone carried by Campus Safety Officers who are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (BP 3505, AP 3500, 3503).

Student Right-to-Know Transfer Rates

In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of the Mt. San Antonio Community College District and Mt. San Antonio College to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. For this calculation, a fall cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students are tracked over a three- year period. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at Mt. San Antonio College, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period.

A Completer is a student who attained a certificate or degree or became “transfer-prepared” during a three-year period. Students who are “transfer-prepared” have completed 60 transferable units with a GPA
of 2.0 or better. Transfer students are those who transferred to another postsecondary institution (UC, CSU or another California Community College) prior to attaining a degree, certificate, or becoming “transfer-prepared” during a five-semester period.
