RULES AND REGULATIONS
The WSU China Corps stands on the belief that all children have a unique and special greatness within them, and that through hard work, a commitment to excellence, and a dedication to learning – combined with the support of a caring community – this greatness can be realized.
In keeping with the China Corps’ determination to help each and every one of its students find his or her own particular greatness, we ask that the following rules and regulations be observed:
- All students are expected to attend the program every day, in accordance with the program schedule. An absence caused by illness, family emergency, or other unexpected and/or unavoidable event may be excused, if prompt notification of the circumstances is given to the Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator has sole authority for deciding whether any absence should be excused or not. In any case, no matter what the reason, no more than three (2) absences will be excused. Family vacations, reunions, and other similar outings conflict with the program’s goals, and so will not be seen as reasons to excuse an absence. Any unexcused absence is grounds for dismissal.
- All students must be on time every day. An incident of lateness caused by an unexpected and/or unavoidable event may be excused, if prompt notification of the circumstances is given to the Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator has sole authority for deciding whether any lateness should be excused or not. Any unexcused lateness is grounds for dismissal.
- All participants are to treat each other with respect and courtesy and are to maintain proper behavior at all times, consistent with being part of a university program. Behavior that fails to meet the standards of the WSU China Corps or any of its instructors is grounds for dismissal.
