Baltimore International College believes that student organizations are vital to the development and education of every student. Many BIC students get involved in campus life by joining one of the numerous student-run organizations, from sororities and fraternities, to professional and interest-specific groups. The Office of Student Services works with students to form clubs and organizations that maintain the mission of BIC. Additionally, the OSS offers general advisement for all students, peer tutoring on request, and a variety of referrals for support services. The OSS also provides many outlets for students' recreation and leisure activities including the Student Union, various activities sponsored by BIC, and information about cultural programs in Baltimore.
Student discipline is also handled by the OSS and any questions about the Baltimore International College Code of Conduct, Judicial Board, sexual harassment policy, or other disciplinary matters should be directed to this office.
To find out more about current organizations or to start one, or disciplinary questions, please contact the Office of Student Services at 410.752.4710 ext. 242.
