  Students and faculty of the Lamar State College-Port Arthur Vocational Nursing Program are expected to assist in maintaining a classroom environment that is conducive to learning. To assure that faculty have the opportunity to teach and students have the opportunity to benefit from time spent in class, unless otherwise approved by the instructor, students are prohibited from engaging in distracting classroom behavior:
  
  1.    I understand that promptness is expected. I will be on time for the beginning of all classes and will return from breaks promptly.
  
  2.    I understand that I am expected to come to theory and lab experiences prepared and present myself as a sincere, adult learner.
  
  3.    I will return phone calls and/or text messages only during scheduled breaks. If a student leaves the classroom to answer a phone call or to make a phone call the student will not be able to return to class until the break.
  
  4.    I will keep cell phones on vibrate in classroom and off and out of reach during testing and test reviews. In the event of an emergency, your family should contact you through AH Secretary, VN Coordinator, or Department Chair.
  
  5.    I agree that on-campus computers will only be used for classroom work.
  
  6.    I agree that all information shared by other students and instructors will remain confidential.
  
  7.    I will not repeat or discuss what is shared with anyone.
  
  8.    I agree that I will not engage in ‘side-bar’ discussions.
  
  9.    I agree that I will direct my comments to the front of the room.
  
  10.    I agree to participate in all discussions, activities, and exercises.
  
  11.    I agree to be open to new ideas and experiences.
  
  12.    I agree to take risks and step outside of my comfort zone.
  
  13.    I agree to maintain a positive attitude.
  
  14.    I agree to give supportive feedback and make corrections without belittling anyone.
  
  15.    I agree to suspend judgment and be responsible for my actions.
  
  16.    I agree to be responsible for learning as much as I can from this experience.
  
  17.    I agree to ask for what I need from my instructors.
  
  18.    I agree to get better acquainted with my fellow students so we can all identify ways to support one another, work together as a team and develop professionally.
  
  19.    I agree to follow the guidelines and policies in the LSC-PA Vocational Nursing Student Handbook.
  
  
  
  Should I be unable to maintain these expectations or stated program requirements, dismissal from the program may occur.
  
  The following behaviors will result in the student being asked to cease the action and/or leave the classroom:
  
  •    inappropriate and/or disruptive use of cell phones or other electronic devices in classroom
  
  •    talking or sleeping while the instructor is giving instructions or during class discussions/presentations
  
  •    displaying a rude or negative attitude/behavior to the instructor or other students
  
  •    If any of these behaviors result in the student being asked to leave the room, the student will receive a counseling note and there will be a loss of 5 points on the next exam.

Circumstances under which information may be released:

An adult student may submit, to the Registrar, a handwritten, signed note granting permission for release of information. The note must specify what information may be divulged, and it must specify the name of the person to whom the information may be given.

A parent or guardian may be given access to information about a student by providing a copy of a filed tax return that shows that the student was listed as a dependent of that parent or guardian. The tax return must be for last complete tax year. Again, this documentation must be submitted to the Registrar�s Office.

A parent or guardian may be given access to information about a student if the student logs on to My.LamarPA.edu and sends an email to the Registrar granting permission. The email must specify what information may be given and the name of the person to whom it may be given.

Co-enrollment students are protected by the same privacy laws as adult students.

The Registrar�s office is located in the Student Center room 303B, and can be reached at (409) 984-6165.
