Professionalism and Behavior
We expect both faculty and students to use professional tones with each other
Individuals need to be able to listen and follow directions
Appropriate conversation and language are expected in the lab and while on campus
Fighting, bullying, harassment, and aggressive behavior are not acceptable and may
result in a referral to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities depending
on the severity of the situation
Students who display a pattern of inappropriate behavior issue will be subject to
disciplinary actions as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. Based on the severity
of the offense, a student may be asked to leave the classroom for the day, suspended,
or potentially dismissed from the program.
The student must follow the College Values and Code of Student Conduct
We also encourage students who may not have an accommodation on file to take advantage
of our Student Success Center at San Jacinto College, Student Success Center | San Jacinto College, or schedule time with their professor if they need help with an assignment or a
complicated concept
