The next section contains a list of agreements that the applicant must accept to participate in the program. These agreements outline essential responsibilities, conduct expectations, and commitment to program policies. By agreeing to these terms, the applicant affirms their understanding of and willingness to comply with the standards required for a successful and respectful experience in the program.

Class attendance and academic engagement

• I will attend all scheduled classes and academic events including mandatory field trips and site visits, except for excused absences where I have obtained approval from Mitchell Hamline’s Dean of Students, or where I have obtained a valid note from local doctor or health care provider.
• I understand that if I miss two or more classes, I will be withdrawn from the program without a refund.
• I will actively participate in classroom discussions and be attentive to course material.
• I will use due diligence to complete all assignments within the deadlines outlined in the course syllabus; I acknowledge that failure to do so may result in a failing grade.
• I will manage my time effectively to ensure that my academic work is of the highest quality.

Communication with advisors

• I will maintain regular communication with the program administrator of the location of my accommodation.

Adherence to legal and program rules

Personal accountability

•  I acknowledge that I am responsible for my own behavior, both inside and outside of the classroom.
•  I understand that if I miss more than two classes, or behave in an unprofessional or disrespectful manner, that I may be withdrawn from the program.
