Student Expectation Contract 
Georgia Tech has high expectations for all students. The following expectations are designed to promote the well being of each student and to insure that each child is able to reach his/her fullest potential. Each student will be expected to do the following: 
1. Respect the property and feelings of fellow summer program students, teachers and student assistants as well as all others not directly associated with summer programs (bus drivers, dining hall staff, etc.). Always act in a manner that will promote a classmate’s opportunity to learn. Have a positive attitude about learning and involvement during the summer program.  
2. Politely communicate any concerns directly to summer program teachers or student assistants.  No “horseplay” of any kind will be tolerated. Students are representatives of Georgia Tech during their involvement with the summer camp programs. 
3. No drugs or tobacco are permitted on the Georgia Tech campus by summer program participants.  If your child requires prescribed medications, please include a note that indicates the name of medication, time the dosage is administered, and the medication must be in the correct prescription container. 
4. No weapons of any kind are permitted on the Georgia Tech campus. This includes guns, knives, switchblades, pocketknives, and any other instruments that could be used as weapons. Any student who brings a weapon to a summer program will be handed over to the campus police and immediately dismissed from the program. 

A student who violates any of these rules will be dismissed from all summer programs.   
By signing this page, I acknowledge that my child and I understand the expectations for participation in the ICE Summer Program and that any violation of these expectations will result in the immediate dismissal from the summer program.  If my child is dismissed from a program, I understand that they are then deemed ineligible for any future ICE programs.
