APPENDIX F INDIVIDUAL PLEDGE
Inherent to any study or research abroad program is the stress to student participants caused by unfamiliar surroundings, culture shock, and the intensity of the program. If one student does not act responsibly, is easily distracted, falls behind in their assignments, or is not culturally sensitive, the entire program is negatively affected. Thus, in order to enhance the overall operation of any HSU study and research abroad program, as well as each student’s experience, all participating students should be mature, self-motivated, academically competent and ready to accept the challenges of international study. The Program Director may send home any individual whose conduct, in the opinion of the Program Director, is detrimental to the program or to the other students. This includes uncooperative or disruptive behavior, alcohol abuse, illegal drug use, and failure to perform satisfactory academic work. Fees will not be refunded if a student is asked to leave the program early. The avoidance of any illegal drug use, drug purchase, or drug sales cannot be stressed strongly enough. Many countries’ officials inflict severe penalties on foreigners breaking domestic laws, especially for illegal drug use. Students are cautioned that a foreign passport and ignorance of local laws will not protect them, nor is it likely that anyone from the program or the U.S. Embassy or Consulate will be able to provide assistance if they are arrested for or convicted of drug use or other crimes. Please place a check by each item, print name, sign, and date: ____ I understand that I am responsible for my own conduct, and that my conduct will be a reflection on the group as a whole. I also understand that I will be a foreigner, viewed as an ambassador both for my country and HSU. I promise to learn the rules of appropriate conduct for the host country and to abide by those rules. _____ I should be prepared for hot weather and will take all necessary and recommended precautions to keep myself healthy. _____ In Greece, I will be required to share a hotel room with another student. I will be respectful of my roommate at all times. _____ I will respect the policies of the hotel in Greece where I will be staying. _____ I promise to be respectful of the other group members and the host country nationals I meet. _____ I understand that laws in the host country are different from those in the United States, and that I can be thrown in jail (for years and even for life) without a proper trial for the purchase of any amount of illegal drugs (of
Greek Art Program, Page 4 any kind) and/or illegal drug use. I also understand that marijuana is considered an illegal drug in most countries. I make a promise to the group and to myself to immediately remove myself from any situation that involves illegal drugs. _____ I understand that laws in the host country are different from those in the United States and that I can be thrown in jail (for years or even for life) without a proper trial for the purchase of any amount of illegal drugs (of any kind) and/or illegal drug use. I also understand that any association with illegal drugs will threaten the future of the study abroad program. _____ I understand that the HSU policies on discipline and academic honesty still apply while I am on this program. (Refer to: http://studentaffairs.humboldt.edu/judicial/conduct_code.php.) _____ Finally, I verify that I have been made aware of the above issues in order to make my study abroad experience, and that of the entire group, a positive, life-changing and empowering experience, rather than a negative one.
