Being a student at ArtsEd

15. All students and staff are issued with an ArtsEd lanyard and security (swipe) card which must be worn in all public areas of the building. See Security below. 16. Failure to submit written work to the set deadlines will result in penalties for late submission. 17. Students must not post course-work or performances on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube or any other social-networking sites. 18. Fees may be paid in full in September or in three termly instalments. All fees must be paid on or before the date set for financial registration each term. 19. In the event of a student being dismissed from the course, no further fees will be payable by the student (as long as all fees until the point of dismissal have been paid in full) and the student will not be entitled to claim the return of any fees or any part thereof already paid, including the deposit. 20. In the event of a student withdrawing from the course, a term’s notice is required or fees for the term following the student’s withdrawal will be payable and the student will lose their deposit. 21. Students who have any outstanding fees owing to ArtsEd at the end of the course will not receive their degrees until all fees have been paid in full. One of the most important things to say about the course is that strong selfdiscipline is crucial. It doesn’t matter how good you are at acting, if you are late or lazy or difficult to work with, no one will want to work with you. So read the following carefully. It’s how we operate! Lateness/Absence Regulations 1. Students must sign by the stated time each day (usually 15 minutes before your first class). Any student who is late or who fails to sign in will result in the student being barred for the rest of the day. 2. If there are genuine extenuating circumstances (which can be evidenced) for the lateness or failure to sign in, the barring will be lifted. 3. Sometimes students are on time for their first class of the day but forget to sign in, perhaps because they have come in early to rehearse. The first time this happens no caution will be issued and the barring will be lifted. We call this a ‘lifeline’. The second or subsequent time this happens; the barring will be enforced. 4. Each day a list of those barred for the day will be emailed to staff and students for reference, and details will be noted in the students’ files.
