It is the policy of the Pre-College Summer Institute to provide a safe and healthy environment for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment in a partially supervised community. The well-being of this community depends upon the good judgment and considerate behavior of its members. Student status at The University of the Arts is not an unconditional right, but a privilege subject to certain rules and expectations articulated in the Code of Conduct. Students are required to attend all courses unless they are ill and can provide Pre-College Programs with notification from UArts’ Health Services or have a written excuse from a parent or guardian.
The Student Code of Conduct includes a “three strikes policy” for offenses for both residential and commuting students participating in the programs. Offenses include those that occur in the classroom, in the residence halls, and even off-campus if the University’s administration is made aware of them. On the first offense, a University official will warn a student; on the second, the University will place the student on probation and limit privileges; on the third offense, the University will dismiss the student from the program. At any time, the University reserves the right to contact parents or guardians regarding the behavior of a student; the family must, therefore, provide the University with an emergency contact name and phone number.
At the discretion of the University’s administration, students will be removed from the program if they are deemed by the University to be disruptive or harmful to the welfare of the community and/or himself or herself, regardless of the “three strikes” policy. Engagement in any illegal activities, physical violence, or any other offense deemed a major infraction of University policy by the University administration, including the possession or use of illegal substances, drugs, paraphernalia, or alcohol, will result in immediate dismissal from the program.
Prohibited behavior at the University of the Arts includes, but is not limited to the following:
1 Academic dishonesty or misconduct including, but not limited to, cheating and plagiarism;
2 Non-academic dishonesty, including, but not limited to, theft, attempted theft, possession of stolen property, forgery, and falsification of information provided to any University official;
3 Conduct that threatens the physical or psychological health and/or safety of any person (including the person committing the act) or the sanctity of the campus, including, but not limited to physical or sexual assault;
4 Damage to public, private, personal or University property;
5 Violation of policies as described in the Student Handbook and the University Catalog and all other rules governing University facilities, programs and services;
6 Intentional obstruction or disruption of teaching, search, administration, disciplinary procedures, other University activities or activities authorized to take place on University property;
7 Disorderly conduct including acts that breach the peace;
8 Non-compliance with the directions of University, local, state or federal officials performing official duties, including failure to give proper identification when requested;
9 Violation of a student’s rights or privileges and verbal or written harassment, discrimination, abuse and/or disrespect of any person;
10 Violation of the statutes, laws, ordinances and/ or regulations of the City of Philadelphia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (or other states, when applicable) and the United States of America.
Dismissed students are ineligible for tuition or housing refunds and are responsible for any and all expenses associated with the dismissal.
Parents are responsible for removing their discharged students from the University campus immediately upon notification of dismissal. Dismissed students will not receive a certificate of completion, an assessment of their experience, or a copy of a videotape of the program work (if applicable). Additionally, dismissed students forfeit the right to participate in future programs at UArts or to attend any event or activity located on campus for the duration of the Pre-College Summer Institute program.
Parents and students will be asked to confirm their acknowledgement of these policies in writing upon registration. The policies will be discussed at Orientation and at resident floor meetings.
