a note about community standards

All members of the Exploration community are expected to follow all rules and procedures, and to treat others with honesty, civility, and respect. When students do not live up to these standards, they are confronted directly by a staff member from the Dean’s Office. The Program tries to deal with disciplinary issues fairly, consistently, and as quickly as possible. Drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes are off limits at the Junior Program. Any student found in possession of or using such substances is liable for immediate dismissal. In the spring, a full set of rules and guidelines will be sent to all enrolled students.
