Faculty are strongly discouraged from providing personal cell phone numbers to students. It is recommended instead that faculty use a Google Voice phone number (free of charge and anonymous) if and when a phone conversation is necessary.
Faculty are prohibited from:
- Providing their personal email to students. Faculty must use the College Outlook email system to communicate with their students. Communication to a class may also take place via ‘Announcements’ in Canvas, the College’s learning management system.
- Following students on social media platforms including, but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat.
- Faculty who are friends or follow students on social platforms prior to teaching at MCHP, are asked to unfollow or unfriend the student until the student graduates from the program.
- Offering items of monetary value or gifts to students (excluding small candy, tissues, or other items that have been approved by the Dean/CAO).
