CTI works to provide a safe and positive atmosphere conducive to learning. Therefore, the following code of conduct must be observed at all times:

• All students enrolled at CTI are representatives of this college and are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and respectful manner both on and off campus in all forms of communication. This includes communication via emails, social media, face-to-face, etc.

• CTI is a smoke-free, drug-free, and alcohol free environment; therefore, all students must abstain from the use of cigarettes in any form, drugs, and alcohol in the building or anywhere on the grounds.

• CTI opposes open displays of affection with fellow students while on campus or at any school-sponsored event.

• Profanity, cheating, stealing, dishonesty, gambling, and destruction of property are not permitted.

• Students must refrain from perverse, lewd, or obscene conversation and behavior.

• Students must refrain from passing on inaccurate information, tale-bearing, and backbiting.

• Students’ attire is to be conservative, similar to attire worn in an office setting.

• All smart devices must be turned off during the class period, unless used for note-taking. Messages can be checked during breaks. Students will be dismissed from class if a cell phone goes off. Repeat offenses will result in probation, suspension, or other administrative action.

• Acts of hazing and blatant violations of students’ personal being and/or property are expressly forbidden and will result in the immediate dismissal from school. Criminal charges will be filed.
