Expected Student Behavior

The Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Program has specific policies regarding student conduct, which may be implied or written. The course syllabi and the program manual are sources for particular student conduct policies for dental hygiene students at Amarillo College. 

Professional Standards

All dental hygiene students are expected to demonstrate professionalism in behavior, manner, and judgment in the program. Professionalism includes appearance, asepsis, patient management, peer, faculty, and staff interaction, and documentation. The Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Program Manual discusses guidelines for professionalism and professional appearance. Faculty will evaluate professionalism continuously throughout the program.

Students will exhibit professional maturity and an acceptable level of clinical judgment as determined by the faculty. Unprofessional behavior is a continual pattern of misconduct and/or an egregious act that endangers the health of the patients, students, faculty, and/or College. Documentation may include reporting to the College via the Amarillo College Student Behavior Alert form with the College.

Students must be competent in applying the principles of ethical reasoning, ethical decision-making, and professional responsibility as they pertain to patient care. Dental hygienists should understand and practice moral behavior consistent with the professional code of ethics throughout their educational experiences. Below are representative examples of professional standards that are not inclusive:

  • Students are concerned with excellence in learning rather than just meeting minimal criteria.
  • Students maintain composure, dealing with conflict constructively.
  • Students exhibit an attitude of respect for classmates, faculty, and staff.
  • If a student disagrees with an instructor's grade, the student must follow the grievance procedure outlined.
  • Faculty will not change a grade given to a student by another faculty member.

Statement of Confidentiality

Confidentiality is the duty owed by dental hygiene professionals, including students enrolled in Dental Hygiene accredited programs, to protect the privacy of ALL patient information. Dental hygiene professionals must keep patients' medical and personal details in the strictest confidence. Unless disclosure is mandated by patient consent, statute, a duty to inform third parties or exceptional circumstances, dental hygiene professionals have a clear duty to maintain the confidentiality of ALL patient information.  

Breach of duty to hold such information in the strictest confidence may cause liability for the individual student, resulting in fines, imprisonment, and dismissal from the program. The American Dental Hygienists' Association has published that all dental hygiene professionals (including students) must always follow the "Code of Ethics."

"We respect the confidentiality of client information and relationships to demonstrate our value on individual autonomy. We acknowledge our obligation to justify any violation of confidence."

Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy

Cell phones and other electronic devices may detract from the learning environment. Students will put their phones on silent and leave them out of view before entering the classroom. Personal cell phone use during class is not permitted. Cell phones can be checked at designated break times. Students who choose to violate the cell phone policy in class will receive a 0 for the work assigned for the day.

Mailboxes

Each student is assigned a mailbox located inside the locker room. Students are required to check their mailboxes daily for various communications from the faculty. 

Bulletin Board

First—and second-year dental hygiene students have designated areas on a shared bulletin board inside the student locker room where they may post various announcements.

Emergency Contacts

Phone numbers that family members may use to reach a student in case of an emergency are as follows:

Dental Clinic Office Supervisor:   (806) 354-6050

Amarillo College Police:   (806) 371-5163

  • The missed work must be made up within TWO Amarillo College school days, which ends at 4:00 pm.
  • The makeup work may earn 80% of the original point value.

Electronic Testing Procedures:

In this course, all tests will be administered electronically through the Blackboard Ultra platform. Students must bring their own fully charged tablets or laptops to each scheduled test to facilitate a smooth testing process. Testing will utilize the Respondus LockDown Browser, so please ensure it is installed on your device beforehand. All students must submit their completed tests on Blackboard before closing their laptops and leaving the classroom. Failure to submit within the designated time frame may result in a grade penalty. Upholding academic integrity is paramount in this course, and any form of cheating, plagiarism, or unauthorized collaboration during tests will be strictly addressed under the AC Rights and Responsibilities policies. By participating in electronic testing, students acknowledge and agree to comply with these procedures.  

Attendance

"Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement.  Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to attend class per the course requirements as established by the instructor."  (Amarillo College Student's Rights and Responsibilities Publication).  Absences will be monitored and evaluated to determine the student's final course grade.  A student with less than 90% attendance in class or lab may fail the course. Student absenteeism jeopardizes the completion of the course. The instructor will take roll for each class and note absences for each student.  Students who are not present for roll call are counted absent.  Students must report any anticipated class/lab absence to the instructor.  A student who leaves class or lab early is counted absent.
