learning, and an email address for communication during the program. Instructors routinely contact students via email for various reasons but not limited to: changes in schedule; clarification of assignments and evaluations; follow up on student conversations or requests; to request or send calendars, or to request meetings. Students requiring assistance with setting up an email can contact Student Services. Lab Equipment Students must follow the lab and clinical dress code which is found under Clinical Policies. Students not following the dress code will be sent home and marked absent. Students cannot share equipment in the lab. If they do not bring their lab equipment, they will be provided equipment, but there will be a $25.00 lab fee that must be paid to the College prior to beginning lab. Payments are made at the front desk. Without equipment the student will be sent home and marked absent. Cell Phone Usage Cell phones must be kept in a student’s backpack or purse during classroom, clinical, and lab times, and may be checked during break time or in between classes. In the event a student has a scheduled call during class, the student must exit the classroom to make the call. If a student is concerned about family members, work, or friends being able to make contact during scheduled class hours, the student must complete a FERPA form with the financial aid department. By signing this form, students can be contacted during class hours in the event an emergency does arise. Please see the financial aid department for additional information. Personal Appearance While on campus, students should be clean and groomed. Clothing and shoes should be neat and clean. Students should bathe daily and use deodorant. Perfumes and colognes are prohibited on campus, on clinical site, and practicum

sites. Students with clothing styles considered hazardous to the vocation or not appropriate (i.e. revealing attire, too much or too large jewelry) will be referred to the Nursing Department Chair. See Clinical/Lab Uniform Policy regarding skills lab and clinical policy on Page 25 Financial Aid Award Letters The Financial Aid office sends out an estimated Award Letter at least one month prior to a student entering their new academic year if the student is using federal funds to finance their education. The deadline to accept or decline an Award Letter is no later than the first day of the new academic term/ award year. A student who misses this deadline will not be cleared to attend new term classes until all required paperwork is submitted to the Financial Aid office.
