Electronic Device Policy

Electronic devices (such as cell phones, MP3 players and laptops) may not be used during tests unless specifically allowed by the instructor, or if the Office of Disability Services Coordinator determines that a device is an acceptable accommodation for a physical or mental disability. Under any other circumstances, the use of an electronic device during a test is considered “academic dishonesty” and will result in appropriate sanctions as outlined in the Instructor’s syllabus, the Faculty Handbook (Section IX-1) and the Student Handbook (“Academic Dishonesty”).

Use of electronic devices during normal class hours distracts other students, disrupts the class and wastes valuable time. The syllabus for every LSCPA course includes that instructor’s policy regarding the use of electronic devices during class.
