Q&A with THE DEANS TO KNOW... TO LOVE... TO SERVE... Q. How do parents know their students are OK? Q. How often can dorm students come home? A. Parents are always allowed and encouraged to call to get information from the deans. However, if you don’t receive phone calls from the deans, it usually means that everything is OK. It doesn’t necessarily mean everything is perfect – GCA is trying to raise the students to be self-responsible and will likely not call the parents for small disciplines. We keep an eye out when we are on duty as does the rest of the faculty. There is good communication between faculty about the wellbeing and whereabouts of your child. The RAs also check on them nightly and notify deans if there are concerns. Sometimes cell phone service is not excellent at GCA and dorm students don’t have access to their cell phones after lights-out. However, parents always have access to their student at night by calling GCA and transferring the call to the student’s room. A. Any time that parents want to take their student home, they can. It may interfere with their schooling if they miss too many classes, so parents should exercise caution. Weekend worship services are an integral part of the GCA experience, and we encourage students to participate. Students are also encouraged to attend Week of Prayer and other major events. Q. Are individual students permitted to sell food in the dorm? A. Technically, no. If a student is out of food and wants to buy something from someone who has extra food, that is no problem. Q. What sort of food is best for them to keep in their rooms? A. Fresh fruits and vegetables, yogurt, and snacks that GCA is a Christian school, so posters that glorify music groups or artists or models that go against Christian principles should be left at home. In the dorms, nothing may be hung on the cinderblock walls or from the ceiling. No duct tape, please! 15
