Our goal at The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences (TCC) is to provide a safe and caring environment where students can thrive both personally and academically. On this page, visitors will find TCC's statements about non-discrimination (including civil rights and disability compliance) and Title IX.

TCC is committed to a policy of non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, citizenship, religion, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity, genetics, marital status, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, disability, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law (collectively, “protected statuses”) in the administration of its educational, recruitment, and admissions policies; scholarship and loan programs; or other College-administered programs. All institutional processes and policies are in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to discrimination.

Qualified applicants will be considered for admission to TCC without regard to race, sex, creed, nationality, age, or marital status. Further, in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, TCC does not restrict the admission of any individual solely by reason of disability.
