Disruptive behavior
Students who are physically or verbally disruptive in class may be dealt with summarily by the instructor or referred to the Dean of Students, 249 IMU, dos@uiowa.edu, 319-335-1162. The instructor reports in writing to the Dean of Students any disciplinary action undertaken against a student. See the Code of Student Life, Interference with University Operations: E.5 - E.9.
If a student's behavior is violently disruptive, an instructor may wish to call the Department of Campus Safety for assistance, 319-335-5022, or call 911 for emergencies.
Instructors also may consult with CLAS Undergraduate Programs or the Dean's of Students' Office of Student Accountability about student behavior in the classroom.
Sickness in class
If a student becomes ill in class and requires emergency attention, the instructor should call the Department of Campus Safety, 319-335-5022, for assistance in transporting the student to Student Health or call 911 for an ambulance.
Construction
The standard practice of the University of Iowa Facilities Management Department is to immediately stop construction when that work disturbs an examination in progress. The faculty member in charge of the examination should promptly report such problems to FM@YourService (319-335-5071) or to the construction workers, asking them to contact the project's construction manager for further instructions.
If construction noise is disturbing class activities during a semester, or if on-going construction projects are disrupting class activity in any way, please contact Classroom Scheduling at 319-335-1243, registrar-room-res@uiowa.edu.
