Cell phones and other communication devices are permitted for personal use. Cell phones must be used in the silent/buzz mode whenever a student is in attendance in the classroom, chapel, cultural events, or other school directed requirements for attendance. If the device does not have the silent/buzz mode, the device should be turned off. While in class, chapel or cultural events phones should remain in your pocket or purse unless otherwise instructed by a faculty or staff member. Students may not use phones for calls, text messaging, games or other uses during class, chapel or cultural events. Students may use smart phones, electronic notebooks, and other similar devices if they are using them as their Bible. Faculty may impose standards for use in addition to this policy.
Students agree to refrain from using cellular devices with personal hotspot functionality on campus. These devices and associated technology should not be used to circumvent any decency or acceptable use standards for all students, faculty, and staff whether on campus or away.
