Cell Phone Usage During Scheduled Class Hours Cell phones must be kept in a student back pack or purse during classroom, clinical, and lab times and can be checked during break time or in between classes.

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.
