CLASSROOM CONDUCT:

Huntingdon College seeks to nurture wisdom, service, and faith. As a community of learners, we hold one another to a high level of conduct. Learning cannot take place in an environment of disrespect or disorder. In order to facilitate learning and discovery, Huntingdon students and faculty are expected to conduct themselves in a way befitting the 155 year-old tradition of Huntingdon College.

What faculty can expect from students:

  1. Students are expected to treat their peers and professors with respect. Students shall not interrupt their fellow students or professor. Derogatory or sarcastic comments directed at students or professors are never acceptable.
  2. Students shall attend all scheduled classes.
  3. Students shall bring all necessary books and other materials to every class.
  4. Students shall arrive for class on time.
  5. Students shall not leave class early or gather materials together until the class has ended.
  6. Students shall not engage in text messaging (receiving or sending) during class or talking on cell phones during class. If students have an emergency and must receive a message or call, they shall alert their professor at the beginning of class and then step out of the class to take the emergency call or message.
  7. Students shall refrain from Internet surfing during class. If a faculty member believes that a student is using his or her electronic device in ways unrelated to class, the professor may prohibit the student from bringing his or her computer to class.
  8. Students shall not talk with fellow students during class about topics unrelated to the course. Side conversations are distracting to one's colleagues and the professor.
  9. Students shall uphold the standards of academic integrity and the Student Honor Code.

Failure to adhere to these standards represents a violation of the Huntingdon College Student Code of Classroom Conduct and may result in students being asked to leave the class. Repeated violations that cause disruption to the learning environment may result in additional sanctions, including removal from the course or, in extreme circumstances, dismissal from the College.
