Expectations

Students agree to certain expectations for conduct while they are at Putney. These expectations, as outlined in the Student Enrollment Agreement and Contract, help ensure the safety and respect we consider necessary to each student's happiness, productive effort, and sense of community. We expect all students at Putney to work with energy, sustained effort, and an open mind.

In keeping with our efforts to encourage students to focus on their work and the community here at Putney, we provide only limited access to the internet. Use of cell phones is not allowed on campus. Students traveling with cell phones give them to the business manager at registration, after which they are stored in a safe in the Summer Programs office. Personal computers are not allowed. Use of iPods and other portable personal electronics is limited.

Students who fail to adhere to the expectations and spirit of the program risk dismissal or withdrawal without refund of tuition or fees. It is vital to each student's success at Putney that he or she has chosen to come to Putney and is committed to getting the most out of this opportunity.
