<div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;Students who participate in any Travel and Education intensive month, semester, or academic year study abroad programs are representing their country, in this case USA, for the duration of their time on the program, so they should always have that fact in mind.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately and respectfully, and will abide by the rules established by any of the following:</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The T&E Study Abroad office,The Program Directors,The program staff,Housing hosts (apartment, homestay, residence).</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Any student who would engage in disrespectful, hostile, dishonest, or violent behavior that threatens not just him/herself but more importantly any other person, or the program itself will immediately be subject to disciplinary action and could be expelled from the program, and thereby sent home with no refund at all.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Our Students are expected to take full responsibility for their own actions at all times during their abroad staying. Students are expected to abide Spanish rules, laws and regulations since they will be legally subject to the same laws and regulations that govern the rest of Spanish citizens.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There are a number of situations under which the resident director or T&E staff have the authority to immediately dismiss a student from his/her study abroad program. Some of those situations or behaviors are the following, which will end up with the student dismissal from the program:</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Violation of the laws, rules and regulations, or customs of the host country, community, institution and program</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Continued bad behavior for which the student has been already advised Irresponsible behaviour that could put in danger the rest of the study abroad group academically and phisically Damages or endanger of the housing rules and regulations within the organization facilities as well as family houses</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Alcohol misuse or abuse,Physical assault,Sexual harassment,Possession or make use of illegal sustances,Theft</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The following are T&E most important concerns and expectations from any student who is willing to join our Study Abroad programs:</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">DRUG AND ALCOHOL REGULATIONS</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Within Travel and Education there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding anything that has to do with the possession, use, exchange or distribution of illegal drugs by students participating in any T&E Study Abroad program.</span></div>
<div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Also, it is illegal for a student to possess, consume or exchange any type of alcohol drinks or similar.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Violation of local laws in regard of drugs or alcohol will result in immediate dismissal from the Travel and Education program.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">HOUSING REGULATIONS Apartment owners and host families will let the T&E students know all about housing rules and regulations upon their arrival in Spain. From that moment students have whole responsibility for their actions.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If at any time during the staying a student is not confortable with his housing option, he/she should try to look for help. Moving into a different housing would only be allowed once during the semester or year program.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Students are prohibited to change housing without notifying the program Resident Director even if the move to another homestay is permissible by the new homestay family.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Students will be informed very carefully about the monthly rent basis.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If causing a severe infraction of housing regulations, T&E directors, in consultation with the rest of the staff, will determine whether or not the student has to be dismissed from the housing facility and/or face other penalty, which could go up to expulsion from the </span></p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Study Abroad program.</span></p>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Finally, if a student is expelled from his/her housing but permitted to remain participating in the program, the student will be responsible for finding and paying for an alternative housing on his/her own. In the case that housing could not be found, the student would be required to go back to the US and so be deprived of academic credit and any financial refund.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">ACADEMICS</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Travel and Education requires that students enrolled in its programs meet a certain academic status standards ensuring academic progress toward a good completion of the program of study while studying abroad in Spain.</span></div>
<div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">T&E students must at all times maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Students who do not maintain these standards will receive a warning right away. </span></p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If the student continues his/her poor academic behaviour after receiving the first warning the student will be put on probation and will face possible dismissal from the program. This will result in losing any possibility to receive a transcript or academic credit from the Spanish host intitution.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Therefore, the main and most important aspects to consider academically when studying abroad in Spain with T&E are the following:</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Maintaining full time status,</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Having a satisfactory academic evolution,</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Meeting any attendance regularions set by host institution.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">On the other hand, there are certain actions that would result in immediate expulsion and these would be:</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Plagiarism,</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Cheating,</span></div>
<div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Students who wish to take an ordinary study program at the university once they have finished their Study Abroad Program must do so through the ordinary procedures for admission to Spanish universities.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">INDEPENDENT TRAVEL</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Prior to embarking on any independent travel (e.g., on free weekends), a student must inform the on-site director or program administrator of the travel destination(s) and the dates of independent travel.</span></div>
