STUDENT CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS

Accident or Injury Reporting
Students are to report any accident or incident and all blood and mucosa exposures, no matter how minor.
The incident must be reported to the faculty member, Program Director or clinical preceptor immediately.
Students will be required to complete a Student Incident or Injury Report.

Approach to Student Situations of Major Importance
The college investigates and takes action in the following non-inclusive student situations:

1. health status, conduct, attitude and academic performance,
2. non-compliance with college and program policies,
3. arrest,
4. legal indictment,
5. investigation related to criminal activity and active warrants,
6. conviction, or plea of "Nolo Contendere",
7. imprisonment,
8. expressed threats to do harm to another,
9. falsification of application either to a program or to BHCLR,
10. any other non-exemplification behavior reflected in either the BH Code of Ethical
Conduct, policies, lawful regulation, or statute or report of harassment or abuse.

Attendance
Regular and prompt attendance at all scheduled learning experiences is expected in order to meet the
objectives/outcomes of each required course in the curriculum. Students are required to provide their own
transportation for all learning experiences.

An absence of five (5) consecutive school days without notification to course faculty may result in
Administrative Withdrawal of the student by the college.

A student absent from classroom or scheduled clinical learning experiences three (3) or more school days
because of a health problem that requires medical intervention must provide course faculty a written
clearance from the physician prior to resuming study.

If absence is related to a medical treatment (order) by a licensed practitioner, the student is required to
notify the respective course instructor regarding the planned date of return to study. In addition, an
absence created by a physician’s order requires a written clearance from that physician before the student
resumes scheduled learning experiences.

The student must submit a written statement to the course instructor prior to returning to scheduled class,
clinical or learning activity. If so determined, the statement must also reflect any limitations or
restrictions. Students with stated limitations or restrictions may not return to class/clinical until these
limitations or restrictions are lifted or if reasonable accommodation can be made as determined by the
program and college administration.

A student may be charged a make-up fee if significant faculty time is needed for the student to meet
course objectives as a result of absences. Attendance policies for each program of study are addressed in
detail in the programmatic student handbooks. The course syllabi also identify specific course attendance
requirements.
