Cell Phone & Electronics Policies – Form I Cell Phones Students are permitted to bring a cell phone to the Hispanic Youth Research & Leadership Program at UNM for use during free time, non-instructional periods, or in cases of emergency only. Students must turn phones off during instructional periods. Cell phones must be kept in backpacks or purse and out of sight. All student cell phones must be turned off, NOT on vibrate or silent while in class, mealtime or other organized activities. If any phone is powered on, visible or making noise it will be taken and handed to the UNM College Prep Programs (CPP) staff. The first time a student’s cell phone is confiscated, the student can pick it up at the end of the day. After the second time a student’s cell phone is confiscated, UNM College Prep Program (CPP) staff will hold it until the end of the leadership program. Students can ask permission to go to the office to use phones if they need to call a family member whose name and number are listed on the student emergency contact information. CD Players, iPods & MP3 players Although we strongly advise that students not bring such devices, they may be permitted to carry CD players, iPods and MP3 players if they are turned off and kept in students’ backpacks or purses, out of sight. These items may only be used during free time in the residence halls and not during class, mealtimes, recreation or while walking to activities. If the CD players, iPods or MP3 players are not in a backpack or purse or they are in plain view, they will be taken and returned at the end of the leadership program. Any major electronic games (Portable Game Systems, laptops, netbooks, PDAs, Tablet, Phablets, Smart Phones, etc.) will be taken and kept until the end of the leadership program. Bringing these items is strongly discouraged. I understand that if my child carries a cell phone to UNM activities and events, it needs to be OFF, not just on silent or vibrate and it needs to be kept in a backpack, bag, purse or pocket.
