Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles for SCUHS

1. Acceptable lecture classroom attire must include shoes, shirts and trousers or shorts for males and shoes,
shirt and shorts/pants/skirt or dress for females.
2. Clothing worn in laboratories shall include classroom attire with the exception that no open toe shoes will be
allowed. It is recommended, especially in biochemistry, gross anatomy and microbiology labs, that long length
laboratory smocks be worn.
3. Students attending laboratory classes in clinic buildings, including the Radiology Department, are required to
dress in appropriate clinic attire in accordance with the clinic handbook regulations.
4. Interns are required to wear a clean, short, white coat/jacket over appropriate attire. Long white coats are for
clinic faculty only.
5. Any student, at the instructor’s discretion, may be asked to leave a classroom and/or laboratory for failure to
comply with Numbers 1 through 4 above.
Endangerment
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.9)
Behaviors that threaten or endanger the health and/or safety of oneself or others are contrary to the character
of a learning environment. Members of the SCUHS are expected not to engage in such behaviors.
Specific violations of this standard include, but are not limited to:
1. Creating a safety hazard, including but not limited to obstructing fire escape routes such as hallways or
stairwells and the propping open of stairwell doors;
2. Setting or causing a fire;
3. Tampering with, misusing or damaging fire or safety equipment, such as alarms, heat sensors, smoke
detectors, hoses, and fire extinguishers;
4. Failing to immediately exit any facility or building when a fire alarm has been sounded, or hindering or
impairing the orderly evacuation of any University facility or building; or
5. Disobeying a command by any University official or faculty member in connection with a fire, alarm, or other
safety or security matter.
In addition, members of the SCUHS community are expected to reasonably care for their own mental and
physical wellbeing. If circumstances arise that prohibit a student from appropriately assessing or attending to his
or her own welfare, the student is strongly encouraged to seek counseling and support within the appropriate
university offices. In such cases, the student is expected to abide by reasonable directives offered by the
professional staff. Refusing to adhere to the standards of this section is considered a violation of the Student
Code of Ethics.
