The purpose of this information is to assist students in understanding proper classroom behavior.

The classroom should be a learning centered environment in which faculty and students are unhindered by
disruptive behavior. Students are expected to maintain proper decorum in the classroom. Failure to comply
with classroom rules may result in dismissal from the class and/or the College. Faculty have the authority to
manage their classrooms to ensure an environment conducive to learning. The university policies are also
applied inside the classroom.
Take responsibility for your education – You are covered to Universal Access to Quality Tertiary
Education Act, the government pays your tuition and other fees, your parents, siblings, guardians, relatives
and friends help you too, so study well. Whether you learn depends on your willingness to listen, ask
appropriate questions, and do the work necessary to pass the course. If your academic preparation from high
school is weak or if you have been out of school for a period of time, you may have to work harder and seek
more help in order to succeed.
Attend every class - You will find that students who attend every class, listen to the instructor and take good
notes will be more likely to pass (with a higher grade). If you have an emergency or illness, contact your
instructor ahead of time to let her/him know that you will be absent. A local study showed that students who
missed the first class meeting were more likely later to withdraw or fail. Important note: if you miss a class
it is your responsibility to meet with the instructor, outside of regular class time, to determine a plan to make
up the missed work.
Get to class on time - Students who walk into the classroom late or leave early distract other students and
disrupt the learning environment. Do not have private conversations - The noise is distracting to other
students.
Turn cellular phones off - It is very distracting to hear someone’s phone go off in class. Texting in class is
prohibited. Do not dominate other students’ opportunities to learn by asking too many questions - It’s good
to ask questions and make comments, but if you dominate the class time with too many questions and/or
comments, the instructor and other students cannot participate in class discussions. When asking questions
or making comments, keep them related to the discussion at hand.
Respect your instructor - Openly challenging the instructor’s knowledge or authority in the classroom is
not proper. If you take issue with the instructor’s information or instructional methods, make sure that your
comments are made without confrontation or antagonism. You may want to discuss your issues with her/him
privately. Instructors’ classroom policies, procedures and teaching styles vary - Some instructors enforce
attendance policies vigorously; other instructors are more lenient about attendance. Assignments and
classroom activities are at the prerogative of the instructor. Each instructor has the freedom and authority to
set the guidelines and policies for their classroom (within the overall policies of the college).
Your classmates deserve your respect and support - Others may have different ideas and opinions from
yours, they may ask questions you perceive to be “stupid,” but they deserve the same level of respect from
you as you wish from them.
Come to class prepared - Students who forget common classroom supplies such as a pencil, paper, books,
test materials, etc. usually waste class time. Students who have not completed their assigned homework
many times ask questions that could have been answered through their assignments.
Turn in your work on time - It is important to plan ahead. Students who wait until the last minute to do
their work usually make lower grades and are more likely to miss deadlines. Study and do your assignments
every day. If a problem occurs at the last minute such as a computer malfunction, you will still be prepared.
Do not bring children to class - Children in classrooms are distracting to the instructor, other students, and
you. You need to plan ahead for child care.
English as Medium – As much as you can, speak in English during class discussion, when you want to talk
to the Instructor or your classmates, speak in English language.
