Ricks Institute expects that all students demonstrate initiative in their academic pursuits and that they work productively toward successful completion of assigned work. Students should demonstrate this responsibility in the following ways:
1. Coming on campus and to class on time
2. Being prepared for all classes by completing assignments and doing required readings
3. Becoming involved in classroom activities and discussions.
Students who need additional assistance from teachers should schedule time to meet with them individually. As is expected, students should arrange these meetings in advance. There will be many support people (teachers, counselors, administrators, parents, and friends) available to help students throughout their education at Ricks. However, the most important person is always the student himself/herself. Students must accept responsibility for their educational pursuits.
