A-B Tech Code of Student Conduct
To protect the students and employees of the College from the irresponsible actions of others, the College has also adopted basic rules of student conduct. Each student should review the current A-B Tech Code of Student Conduct found in the current A-B Tech Catalog, Student Handbook, and Calendar. Students who have been charged with a violation of these rules will be assigned consequences based upon the seriousness of the offense.
A-B Tech Code of Classroom Conduct
Civility is behaving politely. We have high expectations of each member of the class regarding their behavior toward each other and the instructor. Classroom etiquette is basically good manners, and the expectations regarding such behavior should not unduly burden anyone. All students are expected to conduct themselves as mature adults. Each student should review the A-B Tech Code of Classroom Conduct that is found in the current A-B Tech Catalog, Student Handbook, and Calendar. The program faculty will expect appropriate behavior in the classroom and will use this code of conduct as a guide. Disrespect for instructors, staff, and other students will not be tolerated.
Radiography Program Student Appeals
Please see the A-B Tech website for Student Complaints for policy and procedure.
Destruction of school property will not be tolerated. Violations will result in the student being dismissed from all allied health programs.
It is the policy of A-B Tech that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance or illicit use of alcohol on the college campus or as a part of any of its activities or business is prohibited. Any student violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including suspension or expulsion.
Students are encouraged to consult with program faculty when considering withdrawal and before completing the required forms. Current college publications should be consulted for further information.
Students enrolled in the RAD Program have access to numerous possible scholarships sponsored by the A-B Tech Foundation, financialaidoffice@abtech.edu. The NCSRT (North Carolina Society of Radiologic Technologists) and ASRT (American Society of Radiologic Technologists) also have scholarships available. More information can be found on their websites.
All students are responsible for the proper completion of their academic program, for familiarity with all requirements of the A-B Tech catalog under which they intend to graduate, for maintaining the grade point average required, for knowing their academic standing, and for meeting all other degree requirements. Program faculty, advisors, and counselors are available to assist all students, but Final Responsibility For Meeting Program And Graduation Requirements Remains With The Student.
A-B Tech is a smoke-free campus as of August 2007. Most of the clinical settings are also smoke-free. Students must observe the smoke-free policies of the college and each clinical site. Students who smoke are not entitled to additional break periods during clinical hours to satisfy their smoking needs. If such breaks are taken, the student will be subject to having the time away from clinical assignments counted as a tardy. The smoking student should also be aware that most patients find a smoke-saturated uniform offensive, and in some cases, a health hazard. Students will be sent home with time deducted from the clinical day if they are sent home to change uniforms for this reason.
Students who are reported to be smoking, including e-cigarettes and/or vaporizing devices, in violation of the campus and clinical site policies will be referred to the Vice-President of Instructional Services for disciplinary action.
No reputable college can guarantee jobs for graduates. However, the college will assist students and alumni in every possible way in obtaining suitable employment. The program faculty will also post any job vacancies they are aware of as they are received.
