Rising Star student conduct

Course attendance and curfew policies are strictly enforced.

Students violating curfew policies are required to attend an official SCAD student conduct hearing, which may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal from the program.

SCAD maintains a zero tolerance policy for possession or use of drugs or alcohol and all illegal activities. Smoking is not allowed at Rising Star or in any SCAD facility, including residence hall rooms, hallways, common areas, and classroom buildings. Students are not allowed to drive cars or take public transportation or taxi services during the program.

The university holds the right to dismiss any student in violation of policies or otherwise creating an unproductive or unsafe environment from the program. Program dismissal may jeopardize future admission to the university.

Curfew requirements

Rising Star students must check-in at the residence hall by 11 p.m. each evening. Nonresidential students must leave SCAD by 9 p.m.

After 11 p.m., students must remain in their assigned rooms until 6 a.m. the following morning.

Supervision and security

Rising Star residence halls have SCAD officers posted overnight during the program and entry is carefully regulated. All students are required to have a current SCAD ID to access any SCAD building.

Visitor policy

In an effort to maintain safety, visitation is limited. Visitors to the residence halls are limited to students' immediate family members with the permission of program staff. All visitors must be signed in with University Safety upon arrival to campus.

The hosting of overnight guests is prohibited.
