Cleveland State Community College provides the opportunity for students to increase their knowledge by offering programs of instruction in the various disciplines and programs through faculty who, in the opinion of the institution, are qualified for teaching at the college level. The acquisition and retention of knowledge by any student is, however, contingent upon the student’s desire and ability to learn and his or her application of appropriate study techniques to any course or program. Thus, Cleveland State Community College must necessarily limit representation of student preparedness in any field of study to that competency demonstrated at that specific point in time at which appropriate academic measurements were taken to certify course or program completion.
Cleveland State Community College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity (AA/ EEO) institution committed to the education of a nonracially identifiable staff and student body.

Cleveland State Community College is committed to making the campus more accessible to students with disabilities. The addition of electric entrance doors to several buildings and the installation of a TDD machine (located at the switchboard) are examples of the college’s commitment to fully integrate persons with disabilities into the campus community. Handicapped parking spaces in each parking area are clearly marked. A map of handicapped parking spaces is included in the college’s Disability Support Services brochure which can be found in display racks throughout the campus and in the ACCESS Center.
