Participants are not allowed to drive or ride in personal vehicles during the dates of the program unless they receive specific permission to do so from the Academy Director. While we understand that some participants will drive to the campus, our policy is that they must turn their car keys in to the Academy Director for the duration of the Academy. Any vehicles parked on campus must have a University Parking Permit. Parking permits will be issued during on-site registration, and clear instructions will be given as to where parking is authorized. It will be the responsibility of the participant to secure a permit, properly place the permit in the vehicle, park the vehicle in an authorized space, and turn the keys in to the Academy Director for safekeeping during the program. Neither Mount Mary University nor the Academy staff will be responsible for damage to vehicles or for any parking tickets, fines, or towing charges that result from violations.
Participants must remain on campus for the duration of the program unless program activities require otherwise. If a participant needs to leave campus for some reason, the Academy Director must receive prior written permission from the parent or guardian, and grant specific permission.
Campus regulations prohibit the use of alcohol and other illegal substances. Participants may not possess, use, distribute, or sell alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, firearms, weapons, or fireworks. Violation of this rule will lead to immediate expulsion from the Academy.
In accordance with federal law, the federal age to purchase all tobacco and nicotine products (including cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes, and hookahs) is 21 years old. Smoking is not permitted in any buildings on the Mount Mary University Campus. The City of Milwaukee prohibits vaping where smoking is prohibited. Violation of this rule will lead to immediate expulsion from the Academy.
The only people permitted in rooms are staff, members of the participant's immediate family, the participant's roommate and other participants residing in the residence hall.
All meals, including snacks, are provided by the Summer Leadership Academy. Food deliveries by family, friends, restaurants, or food delivery services are strictly prohibited.
Participants are allowed to bring snacks with them at the time of check in. Refrigerators and microwaves are provided in each residence hall room. Only NUT FREE snacks are allowed.
Participants must attend all sessions, meals, and planned social or recreational activities. Full participation is the only way a participant can gain real value from the Academy and earn the two college credits. A missed session must be approved by the Academy Director.
Participants will refrain from using electronic devices (i.e. cell phones, iPads, computers, etc.) during instructional periods unless authorized by presenters or university faculty and staff.
Participants must abide by rules and guidelines set by the instructors for each academic facility in use.
Participants will abide by nightly curfews, returning to the dorms by 9:30pm and "Lights Out" announcements from the Academy Director, Resident Advisors or Peer Mentors. Participants must be in their OWN room by 10:00pm and remain there until morning. 'Lights Out' is 10:30pm. Any use of cell phones or other electronic devices is prohibited after 'Lights Out.'
Participants must never misuse internet privileges. Attempting to access unauthorized sites is strictly prohibited.
Participants may not tamper with any fire equipment (i.e. fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, etc.) security system, or tamper with locks in participant rooms and other areas. Violation of this rule will lead to immediate expulsion from the Academy.
All furniture must remain unchanged and kept in place. Vandalism and pranks will not be permitted. Any damages caused in rooms or common areas will be charged to the responsible party. Replacement cost will be charged to anyone who removes or damages University property.
Participants should take room key when leaving their room. Leave excess money and valuables at home. Valuables, including jewelry, iPads, cellphones, electronics, etc., may be brought to campus, at participant's own risk. Neither Mount Mary University nor the Summer Leadership Academy is responsible for damages, theft, loss of money, valuables, or any personal effects of participants.
Participants who lose their room key(s) will be charged a $50/key replacement fee.
