whether the student is under the age of 18. In accordance with this regulation, students’ college records will be released to parents only with the written consent
of the student.
3. Contacting Instructors: Your student is enrolled in a college course and it is important to understand that instructors work directly with students, as opposed

not required to discuss student performance or other student-related issues with parents. Riverside City College does not accommodate parent requests to
contact instructors.

adult students and may not be appropriate for younger students.

Parents are responsible for providing transportation and ensuring that their children are appropriately supervised before and after class.
Signature on this document certifies that I have read, understand, and agree to the above policies and requirements and that my child/legal ward intends to register in
public college classes that are not specifically designed for students under age 18, and that Riverside Community College District accepts no responsibility for any
extraordinary supervision of students less than 18 years of age. Further, I accept responsibility for my child/legal ward’s behavior while they are attending a Riverside
Community College District class.
Furthermore, I give permission for emergency first aid and treatment for my child/legal ward in the event of an accident or sudden illness. I also give permission
for them to be treated by a nurse, physician, and/or mental health counselor at the Health Services Center.
