Classroom Meetings: In case of emergency, it may be necessary to know the classroom in which each class meets. To prevent confusion, professors should not move a class from the scheduled classroom without permission from the campus academic dean. If it is necessary to move a class, a note should be posted on the door indicating the new location for the class meeting. The instructor should also write a notice on the classroom board so latecomers can go to the correct room.
Off-Campus Meeting Times:Faculty scheduling any class or function off campus must receive prior approval from the campus academic dean. Students cannot be required to attend a class that meets off campus unless it is listed in the course schedule. The Institute is not responsible for students’ transportation to off-campus meetings.
Classroom Equipment and Facilities: Normally, each classroom is equipped with an appropriate number of student desks; a wall chalkboard or white board, chalk or markers, and an eraser; clock, an audiovisual screen; a wastebasket; window shades for darkening the room; a podium or instructor’s desk; and adequate lighting. At the end of the period, the projector should be turned off. AV equipment may be booked for a class period by contacting the Front Office
If any of the necessary classroom items are absent, the instructor should inform the front office. The following information is important to maintaining the classroom environment:
- Furniture may be moved to accommodate classroom activities. Each professor should leave the room arranged as found. Removal of BAMSI furniture, equipment, or other property from assigned areas is not permitted. The Facilities Department must approve special wiring, building alterations, and attachment of items to floors, walls, or doors. This approval must be obtained before any changes to facilities occur.
- Each employee and student is encouraged to contribute to conservation of water, electricity, and materials by turning off lights and water, and using all materials conservatively where and when appropriate. Lights should remain turned on in rooms where continued or immediate use is anticipated; if not, lights should be turned off.
- Windows in all buildings are not designed to open. They are to be opened only as exits in emergencies. Areas around windows should be kept clear at all times.
