Lake Washington Technical College offers a variety of student activities and programs to enhance your learning experience. From performances and lectures to clubs and student government, these programs provide opportunities to learn more about yourself and to affect change on our campus.

ASSOCIATED STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Associated Student Government (ASG) consists of five officers who are elected to office in the spring of each academic year. Senators from each program also serve on the ASG Senate. The officers along with senators and clubs plan programs that are both entertaining and educational for campus. For more information contact the ASG office at (425) 739-8100 ext. 661, or visit the office in the East Building, Room 214. You visit the ASG Web site at www.lwtc.edu/ASG.

Students requesting an ID card will need picture identification, their Student Identification Number, and a copy of their current Class Schedule. Cards are valid as long as you are enrolled at the college, up to two years. If you lose your ID card, a replacement fee will apply.

The college has special expectations regarding the conduct of those involved in the college community. Students are expected to comply with the college student conduct code, WAC 495D-121, and failure to do so may result in disciplinary actions, up to and including expulsion from the college. The student conduct code is available in the student handbook, on the college Web site and in the college Policy and Procedure Manual located in the library.

HARASSMENT

Harassment is unacceptable, against the law, and will not be tolerated on campus or at any off-campus events. The college strictly forbids harassment based on types of unlawful discrimination such as race, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, or veteran status. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that may offend the recipient, cause discomfort, or humiliation and interfere with school or job performance.

If you believe you have been subjected to harassment by anyone on campus or at an off-campus event, you may report it to the vice president of student services at (425) 739-8102 or the director of human resources at (425) 739-8251.
