In order to ensure everyone’s enjoyment of the program, we require all participants and their parents/legal guardians to review and become familiar with this Code of Conduct prior to the program start date. (Your individual program may have additional requirements, and the program staff will provide those requirements to you.) Please be aware that violation of this Code of Conduct may result in payment charges and/or removal of the participant from the program without refund. In addition, we may report such violations to the participant’s parent/legal guardian, University offices and/or law enforcement.
