GENERAL DEPARTMENT POLICIES <strong>THEATRE</strong> CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE POLICY Don't miss class. Students are expected to attend every class meeting. • Extenuating circumstances will be dealt with on an individual basis. • Students are expected to arrive on time. If you are late to class, enter respectfully so as not to disturb others’ learning. • Students are expected to stay for the entire class period. Leaving early, without permission, will negatively affect the students’ grade • Cell phones must remain put away during class. Extenuating circumstances should be discussed with the professor. The theatre faculty reserves the right to adjust policies, as appropriate for each class. USE OF THE UNDERGROUND General guideline: Leave no trace. The Underground may be used for class rehearsal time, but students must comply with the following rules: 1. Students may use cubes and chairs but must return them to the designated storage space after each rehearsal. This should be where you got them from. However, if someone else failed to restore the space, you should put them where they belong. 2. All set pieces and props must be struck after each rehearsal and returned to their correct storage location. 3. All trash must be disposed of appropriately before leaving the theatre. When finished, all stage lights must be turned off and the Ghost Light must be turned on. 4. Unless you have discussed using additional furniture or props with a faculty member, you should utilize the standard items in the theatre. Approval to use other stock items will include instructions on where to strike them for others using the space. 5. NO SMOKING, NO FOOD, and NO DRINK, other than water, permitted in The Underground without permission of faculty. Permission will only be granted as scenes require.
