Field Placement Code for Conduct
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.
