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 their Supervising Extension Educator or the Program Director. While we understand that some participants will drive to the event, our policy is that participants should not be driving during the event. Participants may be asked to turn their car keys in to the Supervising Extension Educators or the Program Director for the duration of the program. For events on campus all 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 into the Program Director for safe keeping during the program. Neither Oklahoma State University, nor the program staff, will be responsible for damage to vehicles or for any parking tickets, fines, or towing charges that result from violations. b. Participants are to remain on the event site for the duration of the program unless program activities require otherwise. If a participant needs to leave campus or event site for some reason, Supervising Extension Staff must receive prior written permission from the parent or guardian, and grant specific permission. c.

Valuables, including jewelry, ipods, cellphones, electronics, etc., may be brought to the Program, but only at Participants own risk and can only be used at free or other authorized times. Disciplinary Procedures: Each participant has a reasonable expectation to enjoy a positive program experience. Therefore, the misbehavior of one participant, or a group of participants, will not be permitted to impact negatively on the program experience of others. Most programs are short in duration, so prompt action is required when problems occur. Parents and participants should be aware of the disciplinary policy. First Offense: Participants failing to adhere to program rules, or exhibiting behavior clearly intended to annoy or endanger other participants, will be formally warned by event staff and informed that subsequent misbehavior will result in additional disciplinary action. Second Offense: Subsequent misconduct will result in counseling by the staff in charge of the event and a warning that further misconduct will result in a Review Board Hearing or removal from the Program. At this point, the County Educator or Supervising Staff will contact the parent or guardian to advise him/her of the situation and the possible need for picking the child up from the event if there is further misconduct. Third Offense: Any further inappropriate behavior will result in expulsion from the event and may result in not being able to attend other programs in the future. If the 4-H'er is found in violation of the Code of Conduct and receives discipline issued by the review board his or her parent/guardian will be notified immediately; the 4-H'er will be suspended from participation in district, state, national and international 4-H activities for a period for up to twelve 12 months and may be sent home immediately at parent s expense. NOTE: OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY EXPECTS EACH PARTICIPANT TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM EXPERIENCE. ANY OF THE STEPS OUTLINED ABOVE MAY BE OMITTED OR REPEATED AT THE DISCRETION OF PROGRAM STAFF.

It should be understood this procedure is intended to provide a reasonable and consistent method for dealing with the type of behavior that can be disruptive to a program, but is not so egregious as to warrant immediate dismissal from the program. It in no way precludes immediate dismissal from the program for more serious disciplinary problems or violations of campus or 4-H program regulations. A serious disciplinary problem is defined as one in which the program staff determines that a child is engaging in inappropriate behavior that includes, but is not limited to the following: actions which put the participant, other participants, or program staff member s safety in jeopardy; physical, emotional, or electronic harassment/harm against self, program staff or fellow program participants; inflicting physical or emotional harm on self or others, vandalism or destruction of University property; theft of University property or the property of another participant; consistently disrupting the program; possession of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or weapons; fighting; sexual harassment; or behavior that is serious enough to warrant a third offense. Parent and Student Pledge: As a condition of participation in 4-H events, we agree to be bound by the terms of the 4-H Code of Conduct. We understand the reason for this agreement is to insure conduct and behavior that will result in every 4-H delegate receiving the full benefit of enjoyment and educational experience from this event and is not intended to place undue restriction upon any individual. I/we understand the disciplinary procedures described above. I/we understand failure to demonstrate proper conduct during the program or event may result in early dismissal without any refund of fees paid to attend.
