Electronic devices include, but are not limited to, cell phones, lap top computers, watches, or tablet devices. Electronic devices within the classroom and lab may be utilized by the students for appropriate learning purposes as determined by the faculty member. Device ring tones shall be put on “vibrate/silent” during entire course / clinical. All electronic devices should be stored with personal belongings during exam time. Students using the electronic devices during the course / clinical for non-class activities, may be requested to turn off the electronic device. Students with repeated violations and/or course disruptions due to inappropriate use of electronic devices will be referred to the appropriate Program Director for disciplinary measures.
Clinical agency policies will dictate use of student electronic devices in the clinical areas. Clinical sites may have additional policies regarding the use of electronic devices. Ensure that you are familiar with these policies before using your device at a remote location. Violations or disruptions due to inappropriate use of electronic devices may result in dismissal from the clinical site and will be referred to the appropriate Program Director for disciplinary action.
