The HBCU Kid Student Conduct Agreement

Student Conduct Agreement

The rules and expectations are not unlike your school or school system’s Code of Conduct that students are expected to abide by on a daily basis. Maintaining student safety and providing a valuable experience are of utmost importance to us.

Rules:

  • Students must remain with an adult chaperone at all times.
  • Students must follow The HBCU Kid or tour guide’s directions at all times. No wandering off alone or without the permission of an adult chaperone.
  • Never remove anything from any of the hotels, venues, or campuses. We are visitors and guests at each location and we are obligated to behavior accordingly.
  • Carry yourself with respect. Do not use profanity, or other types of inappropriate language. Avoid excessive/loud talking, horse playing, and the like during our venuetours.
  • Throw your own trash away in a trash receptacle. If your trip includes hotel stay, keep your area in the hotel room neat and clean. Do not leave food sitting out overnight. Place your dirty clothing in a plastic bag and place inside your luggage.
  • No roaming around the hotel. Stay in your assigned room!
  • Practice good personal hygiene by bathing/showering daily, brushing teeth, combing/brush hair, and taking pride in your personal appearance.
  • Put forth your best effort to listen, learn, and enjoy this experience
  • No ordering Uber eats, Grubhub, etc.
  • If any damages occur in your room or on the bus, your parents/guardians will be invoiced and responsible for the cost

Consequences:

If any of these rules are violated, the following chain of consequences will be followed:
  1. Verbal correction
  2. Phone Call home (warning)
  3. Phone Call home to request parent to retrieve student from the tour. Parents will be financially responsible for the travel expenses.
  4. The HBCU Kid reserves the right to skip earlier steps if negative behaviors either persist, are dangerous, or of a sexual, drug, or weapons-related nature.

Dress Code for Participants

  1. You are required to wear The HBCU Kid shirt each day we tour.
  2. Clothing must fit properly.
  3. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.
  4. Oversized or “sagging” pants, oversized shirts, mini-skirts, cut-off tops, revealing tops, high heels, and flip-flops are prohibited.

  6. Students who are inappropriately dressed will be asked to change clothes.
