Student Code of Conduct
LCIE is a program designed for the working adult. As such, it is assumed that classroom and campus behavior will reflect the professional demeanor that adults demonstrate in a work environment. The following guidelines are designed to remind students of appropriate behaviors expected in the classroom.
- Students are expected to give proper respect to faculty, staff members, and fellow students. Exchange of ideas is an integral component of learning, and participants must feel free to share ideas within the classroom setting.
- Appropriate language is expected. Language chosen to belittle another person or group or that could be considered hate speech will not be tolerated.
- In order to not misuse class time and to respect the privacy of class participants, individual grades will only be discussed before class, during breaks, or after class, at the discretion of the professor.
- All students are to be in the cluster on time and to stay for the entire cluster period.
- Cell phones and pagers should be set to silent mode during class except for emergency services personnel on call. Text messaging distracts from classroom activity and will not be tolerated.
- Smoking is prohibited in all campus buildings and is restricted to specific smoking areas outside of the buildings.
- With the exception of computer lab courses, food in the classroom is allowed only with permission of the instructor. Students are expected to dispose of any trash that they generate during class.
- A hostile environment is not conducive to learning, and students who violate this code of conduct will be referred to the Dean of LCIE and/or the Provost and may be removed from the cluster and possibly from the University.
