Policies

Code of Conduct
Students participating in this program are expected to behave in a Christian-like manner.  This means disruptive behavior of any kind is unacceptable.  Should a student speak disrespectfully; refuse to follow an instruction given by an instructor; disrupt the class discussion, or is verbally or physically abusive, the student will be removed from the class and directed to the office of the Youth Minister for counseling.  Any student removed from class for such behavior may return to class only with the approval of the Youth Minister.  Parents will be notified when the student is removed.  Mobile phones must be turned off during class.

       
Attendance Policy
Students participating in the College Orientation Program must attend classes regularly and arrive in a timely manner.  Student attendance will be collected during the period 7:00 PM to 7:15 PM only.  If a student does not sign the roster within the stated time frame he/she will be considered absent.  Therefore, to be considered in attendance, a student must be present and on time.  No consideration will be made regarding an excused absence or unexcused absence.  Detailed attendance records are maintained by the committee.  Attendance is a requirement for the Mount Olive Baptist church scholarship.  Attendance records are given to the scholarship committee at the end of the student’s Senior year.   


Participation Policy
         
Any student who wants to participate in College Orientation classes is permitted to enroll and attend as many classes as desired.  The fall session consists of 15 classes held each Monday night at 7 PM.  Students are required to attend the Monday night of the fall revival as part of the College Orientation curriculum.  Students must sign the attendance sheet at the south welcome desk and sit together in a designated section of the sanctuary.  Parent classes will meet once each month in the fellowship hall and are held separate from the students.

The College Orientation Spring session also consists of 15 classes and are held each Monday night.  Students will be divided first by Junior / Senior status, and then subdivided into manageable groups of approximately 15 - 20 students per group. 

(Note: Revival, both in the Fall and Spring is a required class for College Orientation Participants - role will be taken at the South Welcome desk.  Students must attend the Monday night of the fall and spring revival.)

(Note: Class participation impacts heavily at the conclusion of the program and detail attendance records are maintained by the committee.)
