Limitation of Liability The college’s total liability for claims arising from a contractual relationship with the student in any way related to classes or programs shall be limited to the tuition and expenses paid by the student to the college for those classes or programs. In no event shall the college be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to, loss of earnings or profits. Pierce College Photo and Video Disclaimer All students are advised that the Pierce College Marketing & Communications department takes photographs and shoots videos throughout the year which may include images and recordings of members of the student body, faculty, and staff, which may be used for publicity and marketing purposes. These images and recordings are in areas on campus or at any Pierce College-sponsored event off campus where subjects do not have normal and reasonable expectations of privacy. All such photographs and recordings are the property of Pierce College and may be used for the college’s promotional purposes without prior permission of the subjects. As a general practice, however, Pierce College will attempt to collect individual photo release forms from students. Also, if students do not wish to be photographed or recorded for this purpose they can stipulate this in writing to the Marketing & Communications office at the beginning of the quarter. It is also expected that such students will excuse themselves from photo/video sessions and inform the Pierce College photographer that they do not wish to be included. Effective Date of Catalog Information The information in this catalog is effective as of Summer Term 2023. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information at the time of publication. However, the college reserves the option to amend, revise, or modify any provision of this catalog and to change, add, or withdraw courses or programs without prior notification. Because of the possible necessity for changes, the provisions in this catalog should not be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the student and Pierce College.| Print-Friendly Page (opens a new window) Global Search Catalog Search Choose Search Location Select an option Courses Programs Departments Other Content Entire Catalog Search Keyword Field Whole Word/Phrase Advanced Search Catalog Navigation Catalog Home About Pierce College Getting Started at Pierce Academic Information General Degree Overview and...
