  •    Inappropriate and/or disruptive use of cell phones or other electronics;
  
  •    talking or sleeping while the instructor is giving instructions or during class, clinical or lab discussions/presentations;
  
  •    or displaying a rude or negative attitude/behavior to the instructor, clinical staff, or other students.
  
  
  
  The following expectations apply to all courses:
  
  •    Promptness is expected. Students should be on time for all classes, clinical, or lab and return from breaks promptly.
  
  •    Students are expected to come to didactic, lab, and clinical experiences prepared and present as sincere, adult learners.
  
  •    Phone calls and/or text messages will be returned only during scheduled breaks.

  •    Students are encouraged to seek assistance from peers and faculty when needed to be successful.

  If a student is unable to maintain these expectations or stated program requirements, dismissal from the program may occur.

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.
