The College of Allied Health Sciences strives to maintain a positive learning environment and educational opportunity for all students. Patterns of behavior which obstruct or disrupt the learning environment in the classrooms, laboratories, and other settings will be addressed. You should be aware that:
- The instructor is in charge of the course. This includes assignments, due dates, methods and standards of grading, and policies for attendance, tardiness, late assignments, and other matters.
- The instructor is in charge of the classroom. This includes the times and extent to which they allow questions or discussion, the level of respect which they require to be shown to themselves and other students, and specific behaviors that they allow or forbid within their classes.
- The instructor is entitled to maintain order in the class and has an obligation to all students to do so. To that end, the instructor is authorized and expected to inform any student if his/her behavior is disrupting the class and to require the student to stop that behavior. If the student persists, the instructor may direct the student to leave the class. If the student fails to comply with a directive to leave the class, the instructor may call Public Safety to assist.
- If a student persists in a pattern of recurrent disruptive behavior, the student may be subject to administrative action up to and including involuntary withdrawal from the course, following administrative review by the Department Head, the CAHS Dean's Office, and/or University disciplinary proceedings.
- Students as well as employees are bound by the University's policy against harassment in any form. Harassment will not be tolerated. (For further information, consult the Ferris State University Student Handbook).
- The office of the student's dean will be notified of any serious pattern or instance of disruptive behavior.
