Classroom Expectations for Student Conduct

The University has set forth certain expectations for student conduct and behavior in the classroom. The university maintains that it is the responsibility of the faculty member to uphold these standards. In addition, it is the faculty members right to impose additional classroom rules in order to maintain civility and an open learning environment. Therefore, use of cellular phones while in class, use of personal computers, and other behaviors deemed by the faculty member as not conducive to maintenance of the learning environment may be freely instituted by the faculty member.

Faculty members are reminded that the University policy for students in the classroom allows only for bottled water (no eating/ food) and that students are expected to follow the University Dress Code unless sanctioned by a special University event (fund raising, etc.). Faculty who continues to have difficulty with students after they have addressed these issues with their students should contact their supervisors for further assistance.
