Jackson College Policies

The policies at Jackson College are established to provide general guidance and information for both operational and governance purposes. While operational policies guide day-to-day activities and procedures, board policies serve as the overarching framework through which the Board of Trustees governs the institution. Although distinct in their focus, both sets of policies are not intended to create binding agreements or contracts between the College and its employees, students, or the public.

Jackson College remains committed to maintaining its policies, but reserves the right to make adjustments to both board and operational policies as necessary. Such changes may be implemented at the discretion of the Board and President, whether or not they have been communicated, printed, or updated on the College’s website. This flexibility ensures that Jackson College can respond to evolving needs and remain aligned with both governance and operational objectives.
