REOC CODE OF CONDUCT

The REOC requires each student to conduct himself or herself in such a manner as to uphold the good name of the REOC and that of his/her fellow students.  Each student, in his/her relationships with other students, faculty, staff and/or administrators, shall respect the rights and privileges of the other party and act accordingly.

Students who violate the REOC Code of Conduct may be suspended and/or terminated.

Any student engaging in any of the following behaviors while he/she is attending classes or representing REOC at an off-site location or function, may be terminated from the Center immediately and may not be allowed re-entry into REOC.

  • Failure to comply with directions of REOC officials acting in the performance of their duties.

Emergencies – Center-Wide
REOC is required by law to hold at least three fire drills each year, and at least two of these are unannounced.  If either REOC building needs to be evacuated in the case of a fire (drill) or other emergency, all occupants must quickly and safely exit the building in an orderly manner through the nearest exit.  Once outside the building, students should follow the instructions of the faculty, staff and security guards.  In the event of a fire, authorities need free access to the parking lot and building entrances.

In order to evacuate people with disabilities as quickly as possible, it is necessary that any student who needs special assistance see a security office representative as soon as possible upon enrollment.  The student will be asked to provide specific information so a safe evacuation plan can be provided for his/her safety.
 
For the complete REOC Evacuation Procedures, please see Security or the REOC Director of Business Affairs.

In the case of a true personal emergency (medical, sick child, life threatening situation, etc.) where someone (babysitter, family member) needs to reach a student in class, he/she must call the Security Office of the building where the student’s classes are held (REOC 327-4064; Sibley Building 327-4042). The person calling should reference the name of the student and, if possible, the name of the student’s teacher, program and classroom.
