Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones must be turned off or set to vibrate in class and in quiet study areas. Students may check
messages and respond during breaks. If students expect a call because of personal or professional
emergencies, they should advise the instructor beforehand, set the device to vibrate only, sit near a door
so that they can leave unobtrusively, and wait until they are will away from the class and the door behind
them is closed before beginning speaking. Use of cell phones is prohibited during exams.
Course Evaluation Inventories
In general, course evaluations are administered at the first session of the next cohort class. In
the Organizational Leadership Program, course evaluations are administered on designated nights. Check
your cohort schedule for specific dates. Online courses are not evaluated at this time. Short Term and
Weekend courses are evaluated on the last night of class. Pick up evaluation packets from the regional
center. Each packet includes an instruction sheet, evaluation forms, Scantrons, pencils, and erasers.

class session after the students have completed their devotion.

evaluation form to the students, preserving the integrity of the course evaluation process by
