2020-2021 Student Handbook

Parents, Communication with

Carroll College views students as adults with the primary responsibility for the quality of their educational experience and the fulfillment of expectations that are accepted when a student enrolls at the college. The college administration, faculty and staff do realize the deep concern that parents hold for the total development of a son or a daughter. In recognition of that interest, Carroll expects that students will initiate communication with their parents when enrollment is threatened or discontinued, or when circumstances exist that seriously jeopardize the student. When deemed necessary, a representative of the college may communicate with parents in relation to the following: discontinuation of enrollment; alleged violation of a college regulation that is likely to result in suspension or expulsion from the college; disciplinary probation with sanctions; absence from campus when there is reason to be concerned about the student’s well-being; and serious physical or mental health issues.
