STUDENT REGULATIONS 1. Students must sign in by the stated time each day. Penalties for lateness or absence are set out in the Lateness/Absence Regulations below which also form part of these regulations. Students may be required occasionally to work in the evening or at the weekend. Students must bear this in mind if considering taking paid work during the term. 2. Student performance is monitored constantly. Academic Warnings are given to students for unsatisfactory progress or if attendance is poor. If progress and attendance continues to be unsatisfactory, the Director of the School of Musical Theatre will ask the student to withdraw from the course. See Academic Warnings below. 3. Assessment. Any student whose performance at the assessments and whose overall progress through the year is unsatisfactory will be asked to discontinue the course. More detail about assessments can be found in the module specifications section of the student handbook. 4. Students are required, from time to time, to act as stewards on 3rd year productions. This will involve evening work. 5. Students have no right to any part in any particular performance or project, and must agree to play “as cast”. 6. Students may not audition or arrange to meet agents/casting directors without prior agreement with the Director of the School. Only 3rd Year Students are allowed to attend auditions after the Showcase, and this must be cleared by the Head of Year. 7. 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. 8. If a student is deemed incapable of work because of the effect of drink or drugs he/she will be suspended immediately pending an inquiry (see Misconduct and Drugs and Alcohol below). 9. ArtsEd disclaim responsibility for loss, accident or damage of any kind that may occur to the property of students, wherever it occurs - private arrangements are advised, if insurance is desired. 10. Misconduct. Misconduct will lead to disciplinary action, which could result in the dismissal of a student from ArtsEd. Examples of misconduct
