Visitor Policies
CLASSROOM VISITORS
The college classroom is intended for students who are enrolled in a course and the instructor to have an ongoing learning experience. That learning experience is changed by the presence of visitors (including children).
Therefore, as a general rule, visitors are not allowed to come to class, except for the following exceptions. Out of courtesy, please confirm with the instructor before bringing visitors to the class.
- Prospective students may visit class after checking in with the admissions department.
- Parents of students may attend a class when visiting, subject to the room availability.
- Some classes may have a policy where no visitors are allowed at all, and this is completely at the discretion of the professor.
- Occasionally, an instructor may invite children to class for purposes of instruction. An example might be Music for Children or a Christian education class in which the presence of the child actually helps the learning process.
- Teenage children may attend class with their parents, as it is assumed that they will be able to learn from what is being taught. They must not bring anything that could distract the class (computer, gaming device, etc.). Their presence is subject to the approval of the instructor and available space within the classroom.
Note: In case of emergency, when a parent needs childcare during class, another student could hold a baby or watch a child and count it as Christian service (but not if the babysitting is paid). Students who need childcare on a regular basis are expected to contract with a childcare facility or pay a student for services as needed.
