during the (session*) (year*).

All students attending a Study Abroad Italy (SAI) program are required to abide by all rules, regulations and procedures established by SAI and the host institution. As representatives of my home college or university, and of my native country, my conduct abroad plays a significant role in cross-cultural understanding. SAI encourages setting goals for myself in
order to achieve the best academic, cultural and personal study abroad experience possible.

A successful study abroad program includes:

  • Participating in cultural activities, field trips, excursions and workshops offered by SAI or the host institution
  • Attending Italian film night, art shows, fashion shows, community service events, religious ceremonies, etc.
  • Joining a local sports team or game, musical group, theatre organization, etc.
  • Finding ways to engage with the local community and individuals; learning local language
  • I understand that SAI reserves the right to dismiss a student from the program on the basis of conduct that causes concern for my safety and well being, or the safety and well being of others. The President of SAI, along with the host
  • school Dean, have the authority to make the final decision on a participant's dismissal from the program.

This conduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • Violation of Italian laws
  • Violation of host school or SAI housing rules and regulations
  • Actions that, in the opinion of the school and/or SAI staff, jeopardize your welfare, the welfare of others or the welfare of the program
  • Damage to, or destruction of, school, residence, or student property
  • Reckless or dangerous behavior
  • The use of threats or physical violence
  • Excessive alcohol consumption, substance abuse or use of illegal drugs

I understand that SAI has a zero-tolerance policy regarding excessive alcohol consumption (drunkenness), prescription and illegal drug abuse, both publicly and privately. If, by any means, the SAI on-site staff becomes aware that I have engaged in excessive consumption of alcohol or use of illegal drugs, I will be immediately subject to eviction from SAI
housing, and probation or expulsion from the program. I understand that SAI strongly encourages me to avoid situations in which excessive alcohol consumption and/or drug use is present. I also understand that any information regarding behavior found to be disruptive or offensive to the SAI program will be released to my home institution's study abroad office.

 I have read and I agree to the SAI Code of Conduct*.
