Program Rules

To keep our students, group leaders, and staff members safe, we have rules that apply to all participants (both minors and adults) in our program. If you do not follow these easy and simple rules, you could be subject to disciplinary actions, such as being held back from an excursion, having your graduation certificate rescinded, or even being sent home. Participants in the PLUS Program must abide by federal, state, and local laws, and adhere to the host campus and PLUS policies, which include but are not limited to the following:

Be on time.

Be on time to classes and excursions. If you are late to an excursion, you will be left on campus to spend the day in the PLUS office.

Follow the law.

Follow the smoking laws of the areas you are visiting, and don't smoke on campus. It is also illegal for minors in the U.S. to buy cigarettes.

Be kind.

Always be kind to and respectful of classmates, teachers, and staff members. Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated, and disturbing staff or other residents is not permitted.

Treat property with respect.

You cannot enter other participants' or staff members' rooms without permission. Stealing, vandalizing, or damaging property is not allowed. Damages and lost property (for example, room keys) will result in a fine.

We're 100% substance-free.

This is an alcohol- and drug-free program. Do not buy, carry, consume, or sell alcohol or drugs of any kind.

Stay with the PLUS program.

For their own safety, minors may not leave the PLUS program or campus unless accompanied by their group leader or a member of PLUS staff.
