SPECIAL NOTE: It is expected that all Special Admit students enrolling in Columbia College courses have the
maturity to function effectively on a college campus. No special arrangements for additional supervision of
underage students are available. College courses are designed for adult students. In a very small number of
disciplines, course content may be unusually frank in order to deal with scholarly discussion of behavioral, artistic,
human, or other issues. Unlike public schools, colleges do not contact parents in advance to inform them of these
matters. Parents are hereby notified that it is their responsibility to ensure that their child is able to handle the
college environment, as well as the content of the course in which he/she enrolls. Although Special Admit students
may be minors, they are entitled to all of the privacy rights of a college student. Therefore, any information
regarding attendance, grades, behavior, etc., cannot be shared with the parent or legal guardian.
Student account information including grades and attendance can be accessed through
connectColumbia.
Signature of parent/legal guardian Date
Additionally, I understand that my son/daughter has been assigned a Columbia College e-mail account.
