Procedure 

Disruptive Behavior 

Students who are physically or verbally disruptive in class may be dealt with summarily by the instructor or referred to the Dean of Students, 135 IMU (335-1162). The instructor reports in writing to the Dean of Students any disciplinary action undertaken against a student. (See the Code of Student Life, "Interference with University Operation's") 

If a student's behavior is violently disruptive, an instructor may wish to call the Department of Public Safety for assistance (335-5022). 

Sickness in Class 

If a student becomes ill in class and requires emergency attention, the instructor should call the Department of Public Safety (335-5022) for assistance in transporting the student to the Student Health Service or call 911 for an ambulance.

Construction 

The policy of the University's Facilities Management office is to stop construction immediately when the work disturbs an examination in progress. The instructor in charge of an examination should promptly report such problems to FM@YourService (335-5071) or to the construction workers, asking them to contact their supervisor. 

If construction noise is disturbing class activities during a semester, or if on-going construction projects are disrupting class activity in any way, please contact Classroom Scheduling at 335-1243.
