Human Subjects Review

Welcome to Human Subjects Review at South Seattle College

We encourage and support research practices involving students, faculty and/or staff of South Seattle College. Any of the research performed with our students or employees must first receive permission through the Human Subjects Review Process. This process ensures the protection of student and employee information and minimizes any potential harm.
