Rochester Community and Technical College’s policy webpages contain a complete listing of Rochester Community and Technical College’s policies and procedures.
In addition to the College’s policies and procedures, RCTC also follows Minnesota State’s Board of Trustees Policies and System Procedures and the State of Minnesota’s Employee Relations Laws, Rules, and Policies.
RCTC employees, students, and visitors are expected to follow RCTC’s policies and procedures and those of the Minnesota State system, as well as all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
Since system policies and procedures already apply to those at the College, in some instances, the College uses system policies and procedures instead of creating a local policy or procedure. Notable system policies and procedures that fulfill this function have the System Office listed as the custodian.
It is the responsibility of every student, employee, and guest on the campus to be familiar with College policies and procedures. If you have questions, please e-mail them to [email protected].
Policies will be made available, upon request, in an alternative format such as large print or audio tape.
