A Cell Phone Use Policy is a school rule setting out when mobile phones may be used during class sessions and what a student is expected to do when a call cannot wait.
What the catalog says
The catalog states: “Cell phones should be turned off or muted during class sessions, as the ringing may interfere with class activities.”
Where it applies
InterCoast Colleges’ catalog states this under “CELL PHONE USE POLICY” (p. 47).
On emergencies and the classroom itself, the catalog adds: “Cell phones should only be used in the classrooms in cases of emergency. Students are asked to leave the classroom to answer emergency calls.”
