CHCS Student Handbook 2019-2020

116 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences 2019–2020 Students may not wear the following: shorts or cutoffs, miniskirts (higher than mid-thigh), jeans (all colors), see-through clothing or halter tops, sandals, flip-flops, T-shirts (as the outer shirt), jogging or exercise clothing, inappropriately mismatched garments, hats, or caps. Students must wear their approved NSU ID badges while on campus. The dress code is to be observed at all times including midterms and examination periods. Students are expected to consult their specific program handbooks for compliance with any program-specific supplemental dress code policies. Classroom Behavior Talking during lectures to those nearby is disturbing to others who desire to hear the lecture. The instructor may dismiss anyone from class who is involved in disruptive behaviors while in class or laboratory. Hats, other than religious cover, are not to be worn indoors. Food and drinks are not permitted in auditorium, laboratories, or library. Netiquette In a traditional classroom, students are reminded that behavior that disrupts the class or interferes with other students and their ability to learn is unacceptable. Any person engaged in disruptive behavior receives a written warning from the instructor. Students who continue to engage in disruptive behavior after this warning may be administratively withdrawn from the course. Similarly, in an online course, any electronic postings, emails, or electronic messages that disrupt the class or interfere with learning goals and objectives are unacceptable. Electronic communication—the backbone of online courses—must be civil, respectful, and cordial at all times. Any posting that disrupts or interferes with learning will be removed, and the author of the posting will receive a written warning. A second disruptive posting will cause the author to be administratively withdrawn from the course. Drug Screening The Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences maintains affiliation agreements with many health care institutions. These affiliation agreements allow for student clinical training experiences within these institutions. Students may be required to undergo random drug screening, at the request of these institutions, prior to entering the facility for training.

This includes the use of illegal drugs; the use of controlled substances without a prescription; and the use of, or being under the influence of, alcohol while on rotation/clinical experience or in class. Should a student receive a positive drug or alcohol screen and follow-up screen, the student will be expelled from his or her program. If a student reports to the academic program for help with a personal drug or alcohol concern prior to being informed of an impending drug test, the student will be required to report to the dean’s office
