VII. Request Procedures for Reenrollment
A. Students who have been administratively
withdrawn must submit a formal request for

Office. Students must present evidence that they
have satisfied all conditions of reenrollment that
were established at the time the administrative
withdrawal was instituted. Evidence may include,

area providers to the student.

submit the evidence to the Student Request for
Reenrollment Committee that will evaluate the
evidence and render a decision. Membership of the
Student Request for Reenrollment Committee shall
be composed of: the VP for Learning Support, who
will Chair the Committee, one (1) representative
from Academic Affairs, one (1) representative from

E. Once the Student Request for Reenrollment
Committee determines that a student no longer
poses a direct threat to the safety of others the
College will no longer exclude the student, or place
special conditions on the student’s participation
in its program. As such, the College will provide
the proper written notice to the student of this
determination, effectively readmitting the student
and restoring all his/her attendant privileges,
benefits and services, as a student in the College
academic program in the status of, and at the
academic level attained by the student prior to
the determination that he/she was a direct threat.
In appropriate cases, the College may readmit the
student subject to such restrictions as the College
deems appropriate to protect the safety of others.
F. If the Student Request for Reenrollment
Committee determines that a student continues
to pose a direct threat to others, the College
may condition the student’s future receipt of a
benefit or service upon the student’s provision of
documentation showing that the student is no
longer a threat. Such evidence may include, but
not be limited to, a treatment plan or periodic
reports from a qualified professional. The College
will not, however, condition the provision of a
benefit or service upon a showing by a student
that he/she has eliminated behaviors that are a
manifestation of a disability, unless such behavior
significantly contributed to the direct threat.
G. If the request for reenrollment is denied, the
Student Request for Reenrollment Committee
may stipulate when the student can next request
consideration of reenrollment to the Committee
and under what conditions.
Technology Use Policy and
Procedures
I. Philosophy, Purpose, and Scope
Frederick Community College is committed to
creating a teaching and learning environment
that is supported through the effective and
innovative use of technology. The College has the
obligation to protect and guide students, faculty,
and staff in the acceptable use of computer
systems, networks, and other information
technology resources. Access to these resources
is a privilege, not a right or guarantee. As such,
the College imposes certain responsibilities and
obligations on the user. All users are expected to
act responsibly, ethically, and legally, and limit
their use of these resources to the educational
purpose and legitimate business of the College.
This Policy and Procedures applies to all
information technology systems and services
owned by the College and to all users. The
College reserves the right to extend, limit, restrict
or deny privileges and access to its information
technology resources.
Users of information technology resources are
expected to access, through any system, only
information that relates to the performance of
their duties and to exercise good judgment in
the use of such information. All members of the
College community are bound by all applicable
local, state, and federal laws including, but not
limited to, those related to copyright, security,
privacy including the provisions of FERPA and
other statutes regarding electronic media.
The College complies with official requests
for information made in accordance with the
guidelines of the Maryland Public Information
Act (MPIA).
The College provides a wide range of computing
resources to support the teaching and learning
mission of the College. However, the College
makes no guarantee that the services provided
will be error-free or without defect. The College
cannot be responsible for any damage suffered
including, but not limited to, loss of data or
disruption of service. The College disclaims any
responsibility and/or warranties for information
and materials residing on non-College systems or
available over publicly accessible networks.
II. Acceptable Use
In making technology resources available to
all members of the College community, the
College affirms its commitment to an open
educational environment, conducive to learning,
and governed by legal and ethical principles.
The College respects individual privacy, civility,
and intellectual property rights. Because an
electronic environment is easily disrupted and
electronic information is readily copied, users of
College resources are expected to promote and
protect these institutional standards. The College
reserves the right to monitor system resources,
including activity and accounts, with or without
notice, when:
• It is necessary to protect the integrity, security, or
functionality of College technology resources.
• An account or system is engaged in unusual or
excessive activity.
• It has good cause to believe that regulations,
rules, or laws are being violated.
• In the event of health, safety, or security
emergencies.
• When, due to the extended absence of an
employee or separation from employment, as
verified by the Associate Vice President (AVP) for
Human Resources or other authorized College
official, it is necessary to retrieve College-related
material.
Additionally, the normal operation and
maintenance of College computing resources
requires the backup of data, the logging of
activity, the monitoring of general usage
patterns, and other such activities as may be
necessary in order to provide desired services.
Accordingly, all employees should use College-
provided resources for College-related material
only. Personal accounts and devices should be
used for non-work-related activities.
