Policy on the Use of Technology in the Classroom

• Students may not use any hand held devices in the classroom (cell phones, cameras, etc.) without the explicit permission of the professor. All hand held devices should be turned off and packed away during class sessions.
• The use of computers in the classroom is a privilege, not a right. Computers should be used for note-taking only. If computers are used for texting, e-mail, or Internet connection (without the explicit permission of the professor), the professor may revoke the privilege of using a computer in that class. Students with multiple violations of this policy will not be permitted computer use in any future classes.
• Students who need to use voice recorders for class lectures must receive the explicit permission of the professor in order to do so.
