Disclaimers
Sharing a Committment to Access and Equity
All outgoing marketing directed at students and the community, including flyers, posters, and written advertisements, must have the appropriate disclaimer included.
- Why are disclaimers needed?: RCCD is an equal opportunity educator and employer, and is required by law to follow nondiscrimination procedures in providing access to programs, services and activities. RCCD is also committed to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals managing disabilities. Disclaimers notify the public about our policies and provide individuals with concerns about access and equity a contact to reach out to.
- What to use where: For general information related to programs, academics and services, use the non-discrimination disclaimer. For financial aid information, use the financial aid non-discrimination disclaimer. For any activity such as workshops or fairs, use the activity disclaimer to offer a contact for disability accommodations.
- Long and short versions: Discrimination disclaimers are available in short and long versions. The long version is used in long-format documents where space is not an issue and the short version on flyers, brochures, and other recruitment documents.
For: Flyers, pamphlets and other media related to District or College academics, programs, student services, and so on.
