Being a student at ArtsEd
• • • • • • • •
Demonstrate consistently high standards of professional conduct in order for students to do the same. Maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour both in and outside ArtsEd. Create an inclusive, welcoming and safe learning environment. Maintain appropriate boundaries between professional and personal life. Treat students, colleagues and visitors equitably, professionally and respectfully. Place the needs and safety of the student at the centre of any decision they make. Be aware of how behaviour may be perceived: intention is not the same as impact. Avoid any professional or personal behaviour which could risk damaging ArtsEd’s reputation within the industry or the local community.
STUDENT REGULATIONS – ACTING FOUNDATION General regulations 1. Foundation Course students must sign in every morning, fifteen minutes before the first class of the day. Penalties for lateness or absence are set out in the Lateness/Absence Regulations below which also form part of these regulations. 2. At your induction to the Lyric you will be given a pass that will allow you access to the studios. You must keep this safe, and hand it back in at the end of the course. 3. Student performance is monitored constantly. Two written warnings are given to students who are not progressing or if attendance is poor. If progress and attendance continues to be unsatisfactory, the Director of the School of Acting will ask the student to withdraw from the course. 4. Assessment. Your progress will be monitored continuously in all classes. Any student whose overall progress through the year is unsatisfactory will be asked to discontinue the course. 5. You will be given plenty of advice about when to apply for auditions for drama school. As soon as you receive your audition dates, you must inform your Course Leader. If the audition means you will miss any Foundation Course classes, you must first obtain leave of absence from your Course Leader. 6. Students may not accept any professional or amateur engagements during the course, (even during the holidays) without prior approval of the Director of the School.
