Classroom Equipment and Technology Use
Only DPT students who have been educated and trained on equipment in the DPTE and have been approved by a faculty member as being competent may use the equipment. DPT students using the equipment should do so in conjunction with a class they are taking, in preparation for a clinical practicum, or to conduct an approved clinical research project. If equipment is used for a research project, the DPTE faculty advisor will be responsible to approve student competency in use of the equipment. After usage, all equipment should be returned to its assigned location. Do not remove department items from the Francis Center without approval of faculty or staff.
Tape Policy
When faculty, staff, or students want to temporarily mark a place on the floor for educational or research purposes, they should use cones or other portable markers, especially in hallways. If tape must be used to mark the floor, the amount of tape should be minimized, and the following guidelines must be followed:
- Use ONLY tape approved by the department; DO NOT use painter’s tape except on carpet. Approved tape is housed in the skills labs. Podiums or available through faculty or staff.
- Each tape segment MUST have a faculty or staff member’s initials AND removal date (e.e SF remove 2/12/23). Unmarked tape may be removed without warning.
- Remove all tape on or before the removal date.
- Clean any small areas of residual adhesive. Follow use of products such as “Goo Gone” with soap and water to prevent slipping. For larger areas of adhesive, contact a faculty or staff member to submit a work order to have the floor cleaned.
