OUR PROFESSIONAL EXPECTATION BEHAVIOUR OF STUDENTS

The BCOHS Disciplinary Council is mandated by the College Board to foster and evaluate professional behavioral development for all students in their respective programs. The College also bears a responsibility to the community at large to produce fully trained professional workers who consciously exhibit the knowledge, values, and skills of the profession. The values of the profession are codified in the BCOHS Code of Conduct. Given this context, all students undertaking programs at the College are expected to exhibit the following ethical standards of behavior.

Accountability: Attend class, arrive on time, and return from break in a timely manner.

• Participate in group activities and assignments at a comparable level to peers.
• Complete work in a timely fashion and according to directions provided.
• Come to class prepared, with readings and other homework completed.

Respect: Treat all your peers, your instructors and all those you come in contact with, with dignity and respect at all times.

• Listen while others are speaking.
• Give feedback to peers in a constructive manner.
• Approach conflict with peers or instructors in a cooperative manner.    Use positive and nonjudgmental language.
• Confidentiality:  Treat any personal information that you hear about a peer or an instructor as strictly confidential.
• Maintain any information shared in class, dyads or smaller groups within that unit.
• Use judgment in self-disclosing information of a very personal nature in the classroom.
  (Class time should not be used as therapy or treatment.  If students feel the need to talk
  about issues they are struggling with, they many consult with their instructor to receive a
  referral for counseling.)
• Never use names of clients or disclose other identifying information in the classroom.

1. Competence: Apply  yourself  to  all  your  academic  pursuits  with  seriousness  and
   conscientiousness, meeting all deadlines as given by your instructors.  Constantly strive to
   improve your abilities.

• Come to class with books, handouts, syllabus, and pens
• Seek out appropriate support when having difficulties to ensure success in completing
  course requirements.
• Take responsibility for the quality of completed tests and assignment.
• Strive to work toward greater awareness of personal issues that may impede your
  effectiveness with clients.

2. Integrity: Practice honesty with yourself, your peers, and your instructors. Constantly
   strive to improve your abilities.

CLASS ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATIONS

College education is designed to help students prepare for professional practice. In order to model ethically
appropriate practice, please treat coming to classes as you would treat working at an agency.  Given the
Council on Higher Education’s requirements for professional behavior, attendance for all classes is
required. More than one unexcused absence, excessive tardiness, or patterns of leaving early may result in
a reduction of the final grade.  Students may be asked to present a written excuse from a healthcare
provider for excused absences due to illness or other documentation for other circumstances. Since
participating in class is an integral part of higher education, it is vital that the student be in class; therefore,
even with excused absences, the student may be required to withdraw or retake the class. If a student
misses more than 2 classes – whether or not there is a documented, excused absence – the student may
receive a substantial decrease in the final grade.

POLICY ON USE OF RECORDING DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM

The College prohibits the use of computers, audio recording, or video recording devices during instructional activities in classrooms, laboratories, and library without the expressed written consent of the instructor. This prohibition does not apply to specific accommodations approved by the Registrars’ Office for Students with Disabilities. When the instructor’s consent is given, the materials produced are for personal use only and are not for distribution or sale in any fashion.
