Student Service Departments
What is Student Development?
The Student Development Division provides support services that encourage you to remain a life-long learner. Our staff members, along with the professors and others across college, are concerned with your holistic development. It is our belief that teaching and learning are not limited to the traditional classroom - each occurs with every service and support we provide.
Student Equity
The Student Development Office investigates and seeks to resolve student equity concerns and allegations of violations regarding sexual harassment and discrimination based on race, gender, religion, national origin, disability or genetic information. Students may submit a formal complaint to the Question & Answer Center on any college campus. The Question & Answer Center staff will collect the information and forward it to the Dean of Student Development for review and resolution at the lowest level possible. Depending on the nature of the concern, students may submit information directly to the Dean. Reasonable arrangements will be made for distance learning students who are unable to attend meetings on the Daytona Beach Campus.
