36 Replacement Policy

Students are responsible for the replacement costs for items that are issued to them or that they borrow. The items that fall within this category include but are not limited to:

• Radiation monitoring devices and holders
• Identification badges and fasteners
• Books from the program collection
• Locks for lockers

All replacement charges must be equal to the cost to replace the item. A list of replacement costs are available in the program office for students to review. This list is updated annually. Check or money orders for replacement materials should be made out to the IU Foundation.

Students should be aware that while performing activities during clinical experience courses in one of the clinical education sites, the student is responsible for using site equipment in a manner that does not damage the equipment. Students who have been taught proper usage of equipment and then cause damage to that equipment may be considered negligent in their actions.  This negligence may result in program disciplinary action.  The hospital may also choose to seek restitution from the student.
