Student Core Competencies
The faculty of Valencia Community College have established four Core Competencies that describe
the learning outcomes for a Valencia graduate. They are: THINK, VALUE, COMMUNICATE, and ACT.
These general competencies can be applied in many contexts and must be developed over a lifetime.
They specify how learning can be expressed and assessed in practice. They enable students and
faculty to set learning goals and assess learning within and across the many disciplines of human
inquiry. Use the descriptions and examples of academic work for each to measure your own learning
outcomes. Samples of the academic work are great additions to your Learning Portfolio. For further
information on student core competencies please go to www.valenciacc.edu/competencies.
Expected Student Conduct
Valencia Community College is dedicated not only to the advancement of knowledge and learning but
is concerned with the development of responsible personal and social conduct. By enrolling at
Valencia Community College, a student assumes the responsibility for becoming familiar with and
abiding by the general rules of conduct. The primary responsibility for managing the classroom
environment rests with the faculty. Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful acts that result
in the disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty member to leave the class. Violation of any
classroom or Valencia’s rules may lead to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from
Valencia.
Disciplinary action could include being withdrawn from class, disciplinary warning,
probation, suspension, expulsion, or other appropriate and authorized actions. You will find the
Student Code of Conduct in the current Valencia Student Handbook
