Indigenous The tri-campus Student Rights & Responsibilities Office (SRRO) is here to support a safe and positive college experience for all St. Lawrence College students. The SRRO helps students navigate college policies and processes, advising them on how to make complaints, submit academic appeals, and report concerning behavior on campus. The SRRO uses an educational approach to help students understand their rights and responsibilities, contributing to a respectful and inclusive environment that aligns with our college values:
Students First | Teamwork| Innovation | Integrity| Belonging
The SRRO provides guidance and support in several areas across the St. Lawrence College community. Some key areas of responsibility for the SRRO are as follows:

Sexual Violence Prevention

Behavioural Intervention Team
SRRO staff serve on the Behavioural Intervention Team (BIT) at St. Lawrence College. The BIT is a group of campus professionals who respond to reports of concerning or disruptive behaviours on campus. They assist individuals who may be in distress, assessing risk and coordinating supports and follow-up. If you are concerned about the behaviour of a member of the college community, you can report to the BIT here.
