Community Disruptions

Community disruptions such as COVID-19 and natural disasters can have deep and long-lasting impacts. If you need it, this space is yours to describe those impacts. We care about the effects on your health and well-being, safety, family circumstances, future plans, and education, including access to reliable technology and quiet study spaces. Do you wish to share anything on this topic?*

Yes

Please use this space to describe how these events have impacted you.

Disciplinary Actions

In this next question, we are looking to learn about any disciplinary measures that removed you from your learning environment. A disciplinary infraction in high school does not disqualify you from joining our community. As a college, we emphasize accountability to self and others, as well as education and restoration in the face of missteps.

Have you ever been placed on probation, suspended, dismissed from school, convicted in court (other than for traffic violations), or found responsible for an honor code violation? Please include disciplinary actions from any educational institution you have attended from the 9^th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic or behavioral misconduct.*

Yes

Please explain the incident, the ways in which you accepted responsibility for your actions, and the steps that you took to restore yourself and those affected within your community.
