A student at the School of the Arts (SOA) is expected to assume responsibility for turning in assignments on time. A student will receive a zero if a deadline is not met. In addition, a new deadline will be established, and the work will be reassigned. Homework is considered an integral part of all SOA course work. If a second deadline is not met, the student’s parent will be notified.
A student, by prior arrangement with an instructor, may occasionally be given an extension on a due date. In addition, if there are unexpected extenuating circumstances at home the night before an assignment is due, a parent/guardian may provide the instructor with a written explanation the following day and an extension may be granted.
In addition, a student must maintain at least a 2.5 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) to remain in the SOA program. A failed SOA course may not be repeated.
The following clothing should be worn during all SOA field trips:
Students traveling to community events as members of the School of the Arts should adhere to proper performance attire. This means that students shall refrain from wearing jeans/denim, logo materials, athletic attire/shoes, and any paraphernalia that may distract from the art form itself. All jewelry and hair/hair accessories should be modest and not present a potential safety hazard or distraction to any student, other audience member, or performer. No visible chains with or without medallions, spikes, or any jewelry with lewd, vulgar, indecent, or clearly offensive images or messages.
If not appropriately dressed, the student will not be allowed to participate in the activity.
