This section looks at the level and standards of information students can expect from College. All information provided by College must follow the College Accessible Information Policy. Furthermore, in order to enhance inclusion, all information should be clear, accurate, jargon free, and timely. In an inclusive environment, students know what is expected of them, what they can expect from the institution, and where to go for further information.
