DISCIPLINE:

Students are expected to be familiar with the rules governing student conduct and to follow them. Should a student’s actions lead to dismissal, refunds will be made according to the schedule. Students are required to attend all classes, and unexcused absences may be grounds for dismissal. Medical absences must be documented. Lack of application or progress may be cause for dismissal after careful consideration by the faculty and a formal warning. During the school year, students are not allowed to participate in outside productions.

Some students are able to secure work on weekends or an occasional evening, but we suggest that you borrow (see Financial Aid section) rather than attempt to work.
