elf discipline is an essential element of individual growth and development. Accordingly, students are expected to display the qualities of courtesy and integrity that characterize professional behavior.

The College trusts that each student will grow in individual responsibility, maturity of thought, development of professional behaviors and the understanding of mature living.

Students are governed by such rules and regulations that are established by the College's administration and student government and are specified in this publication, the Student Handbook and other specified policy and procedure publications. It is the student's responsibility to read, understand and abide by these rules and regulations and to demonstrate good moral character at all times.

The College and student government are opposed to the use of alcoholic beverages and unauthorized drugs on either the College campus or the campuses of its affiliates.

The faculty and students believe that proper dress is essential for the students to present themselves in a professional manner to promote a positive environment. Therefore, students are expected to dress in an appropriate and acceptable manner for class, clinical and fieldwork activities.

Students are expected to wear ID badges at all times while at college, clinical or fieldwork facility campuses. Appropriate shoes are to be worn in these settings. When preparing for clinical and fieldwork assignments, students should wear a lab coat over dress, skirt or dress slacks. No jeans, miniskirts or shorts are to be worn.

Complete information regarding appropriate uniform attire is provided as part of the orientation for each program. Details on dress are found within the Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual and serve as the resource for these college policies.
