The Expectations

Expectations define the culture of the campus.

Failure to meet expectations does not result in immediate disciplinary action.
Instead, it will lead to:

  • Conversations with staff

  • Opportunity for correction

  • Support in meeting expectations

Continued failure to meet expectations may result in removal from campus.
