Note to Parents: 

Please note that all student-athletes are expected on campus not later than Monday, September 6 for Registration and the start of Orientation. Please do not plan to arrive earlier than September 6 as the faculty will not be on duty and, therefore, residence hall rooms will not be available for occupancy. 


Faculty and staff are "on duty” only when school is in session, and not during vacation periods. Therefore, student-athletes are not allowed to remain on campus during a break nor may they return to campus prior to the school’s re-convening after a break. Please do not ask for special arrangements to be made in this regard. 


Class time and other school obligations are the foundation of what goes on in school. Yearly schedules are published well enough in advance that the school expects all student-athletes and their families to adhere to our departure and return times. If, however, you cannot avoid early departure or late return, you must consult with the Dean of Students in advance. Should you elect to miss a school appointment, or you place a higher priority on other events, then you have chosen to accept all consequences for that decision. 


Under normal circumstances, excused absences are for family emergencies or religious reasons. Student-athletes who take unexcused absences will work one hour in the service of the school for every class session missed and WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE UP ACADEMIC WORK due to such an absence. Most courses have tests and other assignments due in the days before a break; an absence from school during that day may result in a zero on that assignment. Student-athletes will not have the opportunity to make up work nor will they be given alternative opportunities to complete tests or assignments. 


In all cases parents must complete a leave form and student-athletes must complete a homework ticket before the student-athlete leaves school.
