CELLULAR PHONE POLICY
Hodges University recognizes that students possess cellular phones with video, camera, or voice recording capabilities. In support of each individual’s reasonable expectation of privacy, as well as copyright and intellectual property laws, the use of these cellular phone features by students must be in conjunction with express consent. Students are expressly forbidden to video, use camera or voice recordings without the express consent of the subject(s) being photographed or recorded. Any student whose use of their cellular phone violates another’s reasonable expectation of privacy or produces any media as a result of the cellular phone capabilities without express consent may be found in violation of this policy. Violations of this policy may lead to disciplinary action that may result in referral to the Associate Dean of Students as a violation of the Student Behavior Standards outlined in this Student Handbook.
Cell phones should be placed on silent or vibrate while at the University. Professors will verbally outline and/or include their classroom cell phone policies on the course syllabi. Students must abide by the requirements of the professors or administration.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE, DRESS, AND HYGIENE POLICY
Students are expected to follow commonly accepted standards of personal hygiene, neatness, and cleanliness of attire. Personal neatness and appropriate dress are generally left to the good taste and judgment of students unless the nature of an internship or event calls for or requires uniforms or the imposition of dress and grooming standards. Strict professional dress is not required in the classroom; however, professional attire and behavior is appropriate for an institution providing professional programs associated with career enrichment. Professors may have certain rules as to appearance in their classrooms, and students should comply with the professor’s guidelines.
Some programs, particularly those with a clinical component, may have a class, lab, and/ or clinical dress code. In general, sunglasses may not be worn in the classroom. Good personal hygiene is expected at all times. If a student arrives at the University with a less than satisfactory degree of personal cleanliness, the professor or an administrator may require that the student correct the problem before returning to the institution. Continued problems may result in a violation of the Student Behavior Standards. Hodges University reserves the right to decide what appearance, dress, and hygiene is inappropriate.
