Within the Centre of Post 16 and Adult Studies there are many policies to adhere to. These are also reflected within the Art Department rules.

- Dress code
To be presentable; No Caps, No Midriffs, No Offensive Slogans/Swearing and also please be aware that it is an art studio with practical work going on (you may want to wear an old shirt over your good clothes so as not to get them ruined.)

- Plagiarism
All writing MUST be in your own words. When quoting “…” you must use references of where you found it. The internet is an excellent resource but do not copy word for word which you do not understand as it will show through your work.

- Attendance
You must attend ALL timetabled lessons for your course to qualify for your EMA unless you are doing multiple courses and have negotiated this with tutors.

- Attitude and Behaviour
You are expected to be mature – this should be shown through your attitude towards all tutors and other students. Your behaviour will not only reflect you as a person but the people around you. It is seen that you will treat the art studio and the equipment with respect. Although these art courses are not taught as they would be in the lower school you will be sent home if you cannot cope with independant teaching time or you are disrupting others from learning.

- Disciplinary procedures
The college runs a 3 strikes and out policy. You will have a verbal warning and then a letter will be sent home if your attitude and behaviour persists. This will be followed by a meeting with Cat Taylor & Ann Saunders/Chris Jewell where a final warning will be given. You will then be removed from your college course and asked to not return to the college site.

- Email and Internet
You are each given access to email and internet. You are expected to respect this privilege and will be asked to sign a declaration at the beginning of term. Anything obscene sent by you/accessed by you will be automatically seen by Cat Taylor.

- Smoking
The college adheres as a no smoking site. If you are inclined to smoke you will need to be at LEAST 200 metres away from the college site.
