Student Handbook

Instructor Absence In case of the unplanned absence of an instructor, a note dated and signed by a faculty or staff member will be posted on the classroom door and/or through email. If there is no note and an instructor has not arrived for class within 5 minutes of the start time, one student should verify that the instructor is not in his or her office and then inform the Senior Vice President for Residential or another member of the staff. All students will remain in the classroom until a staff member has given them further instructions or dismissed them. Meetings with Instructors If a teacher requests a meeting with a student, the student is expected to attend the meeting. A missed meeting will result in a level-1 offense (2m. Missing an appointment or required meeting). Semester Exams Exams are given in most courses in December and May. A few courses do not lend themselves to final exams, and a project or final paper may be assigned in lieu of an exam. For seniors with A’s in a course, a teacher may elect to exempt them from the May exam only. Textbooks GSSM provides textbooks for all students. Students are responsible for returning the books in good condition at the end of the course. Damaged or lost books will be charged to the student. No grades or transcripts will be available to a student until all outstanding financial obligations are met. Books borrowed from the Coker University library are similarly the responsibility of the student. Transfer Credit GSSM gives credit for all courses on the home school transcript. After entering GSSM, students may not take summer or online courses in lieu of GSSM requirements or for credit on the GSSM transcript without permission from the Senior Vice President for Residential.

P. Meetings and Assemblies Unexcused absences from required meetings and assemblies will be considered an infraction and will be sanctioned accordingly. Decorum for attendance at meetings and assemblies includes the following: 1. Students may not wear hats/baseball caps. 2. Students must remain awake and alert for the entire program. 3. Students must exhibit courteous and appropriate behavior that includes, but is not limited to, no talking, eating, drinking, whispering, passing notes, or feet up on chairs or railings, etc. 4. Students may not wear or use headphones and should not bring electronic devices to an assembly meeting. 5. Students are expected to attend all mandatory assemblies and to be on time. 6. Any faculty and/or staff members may cite a student for inappropriate behavior during an assembly.
