27 | P a g e D C B S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k the Campus Dean will expedite approval of exhibits and available banner space and amplified sound areas where necessary to permit appropriate response to other speech, assembly, or expression. Means of response that are confined to authorized locations, such as banners and amplified sound, may be used only in those locations. It is not permissible to respond to amplified sound with amplified sound in the same location; similarly, if an exhibit or public assembly is in a location where amplified sound is not permitted, it is not permissible to respond with amplified sound in that location. In either case, it is permissible to respond with amplified sound in another location and to use signs or distribution of literature to advertise the response at the other location. Transcripts Transcripts are termed either official or unofficial. Official transcripts bear the seal of the College and are issued in a sealed envelope. Official transcripts become unofficial transcripts once the sealed envelope is opened. Unofficial transcripts are marked as such. Students can print unofficial transcripts anytime via Campus Connection. To comply with privacy laws, Dakota College requires all transcript requests to be submitted electronically. There may be conditions such as unmet financial or academic obligations under which transcripts will be withheld. Transcripts may be ordered online at: https://www.parchment.com Although an attempt is made to process transcripts on the same day a request is received, those who request transcripts should allow for a processing time of five business days. Faxed transcripts are not official; transcripts will not be emailed. A summary of credits accepted from other institutions appears on the official transcript. Transfer courses are not listed and grades and grade point averages of transfer credits are not included in the cumulative GPA. The exception to this policy is for collaborative students whose cumulative grade point average will include grades from transfer collaborative courses. Waiver of Physical Education Activity Classes Students who are medical excused and student 25 years of age and older at the beginning of semester are not required to enroll in a physical education activity class. However, to satisfy the general education requirement of two credits earned in a physical education activity course, these students may take HPER 100 Concepts of wellness and fitness.
