5.9 Policy on Communicating With Students and Families

Scripps College views its students as adults who are learning to make their own decisions and to take responsibility for their educational progress. In support of this philosophy, the College communicates directly with students on all matters affecting their college experience. Students are encouraged to regularly communicate such matters to their families. At the student’s request, the College will communicate directly with the family. In recognition of the concern for a student’s well-being and the soundness of her educational experience, it is college policy to communicate programs and activities held throughout the academic year to families. In the case of a medical emergency, the College reserves the right to contact the person(s) listed on the Emergency Contact Information Form after first attempting to consult with the student.
