• I understand that laws in the host country may be different from those in the USA and I will obey all host country laws, and that if I break a host country law I will be immediately removed from the program.
• I understand that disorderly, disruptive, threatening, or intimidating behavior, gestures, or actions that endanger the emotional well-being, health, or safety of any person, including myself, are prohibited and may result in engagement with a behavioral contract outlined by program staff and the Study Abroad Office and/or dismissal from the program.
• I understand that full participation in the program and classes is expected, and failure to participate may result in negative impacts to my course grade(s) and/or potential dismissal from the program.

I will be sent home at my own expense, and forfeit all privileges such as program instruction, program lodging, meals, excursions, and other organized events and activities. In these circumstances, no refunds will be given for any finances paid and any scholarships granted by Principia College.
