Conduct Conduct
We expect the highest standards of behavior from our students both in personal conduct and in commitment to academic pursuits. Students and parents are required to adhere to the Academic Connections rules of conduct guidelines, which you will receive in your Course Assignment Packet.

We expect students to:
strive to do their best work possible in their courses
tolerate and respect individuals of different races, cultures, religions, genders, sexual orientations, disabilities, and national origins
behave in a friendly, cooperative, and responsible manner
attend all classes, activities, and meetings
observe all rules for student conduct
Students who are unable to live up to these expectations, will not be accommodated.

Students may be dismissed from the programs for any of the following reasons:
not attending to their academic work in a satisfactory manner
cheating, plagiarizing, or committing other acts of academic dishonesty
being in restricted areas of campus, or leaving campus, unaccompanied by a staff member
being in an opposite-sex suite
leaving their suite after lights-out
stealing or vandalizing property
possessing or using tobacco, alcohol, or any drug
hazing
undermining the safety or well-being of self or others
No tuition refunds will be made to students dismissed from the program. If a student damages property, the cost of repair or replacement is added to the student account balance. Prohibited Items
We reserve the right to seize for the length of the program any items that, in our judgment, demonstrate the potential for distracting students from the goals of the program, pose undue risk to the safety and well-being of people, or pose undue risk to property.

The following items should not be brought to the program:
weapons of any kind (including pocket knives and martial arts devices)
any flame-producing device (including matches, lighters, and firecrackers)
trading cards, including Magic®
pets of any kind
products that damage surface finishes (brand names Slime®, Gak®, etc.)
televisions, or computer games or video games
