   Students are ambassadors for Clemson University and are guests in the schools. Remember, you have only one chance to make a good first impression.

 

  • Clemson University Students will sign in at the main office upon arrival.
  • Clemson University Students must follow the rules and conduct required of the faculty of the participating school.
  • Clemson University Students will abide by the dress code and conduct of the participating school.  In addition, the following must be observed:
    • Professional dress will be required.
    • For example, in most schools, the following would be inappropriate: Tank tops, jeans, short skirts, shorts, T-shirts, bare midriffs, flip-flops.  No obvious body piercing, other than ear lobes.
    • EXCEPTION:  PE classes – students would dress appropriately to participate.
  • Absolutely no smoking or use of any type tobacco is allowed on school grounds or at school events.
  • Clemson University students will arrive at school at least ten minutes before their assigned time.
  • If a Clemson University student must be late or absent, that student must call the school and inform the secretary 24 hours in advance, or as soon as possible in an emergency.
  • Failure to follow the above rules may jeopardize your participation in any field placement, practicum experience and/or student teaching situation.
