Code of Conduct
The following code of conduct is intended to preserve freedom of expression and association at the CIM, while protecting the civil, personal and property rights of CIM and its constituents. Conduct which may be subject to disciplinary action includes:
- Conduct unbecoming of a CIM student
- Intentional disruption or obstruction, by interference with the freedom of movement of people or by any other means, of teaching, performance, administration or other CIM functions.
- Physical abuse of, or threat of physical abuse to, any person on CIM premises or at CIM-sponsored or supervised functions.
- Illegal possession, distribution, or use of drugs or violation of the alcohol policy.
- Refusal to comply with directions of CIM instructional and administrative staff acting in performance of their duties.
- Theft of or intentional damage to property of CIM or property of a member of CIM community or campus visitor.
- All forms of dishonesty including cheating, plagiarism, knowingly furnishing false information to CIM, forgery, alteration or misuse of CIM documents, records or instruments of identification.
- Action constituting violation of law.
- Unauthorized and improper use of computers, network facilities, information services and resources.
All students must maintain a professional attitude toward their CIM performance and classroom commitments. Regular, punctual attendance and preparation for rehearsals and classes are crucial to the attainment of professional artistic goals. CIM activities take precedence over all non-CIM activities, rehearsals and performances. Interference with attendance at CIM functions by such outside events is cause for disciplinary action.
Occasions may arise when an individual student or student ensemble is called upon to perform at special CIM community, cultural or fundraising events. Such performance venues engender opportunities that are wholly consistent with the mission of the Institute. Invitation to participate in such an event is considered an honor and such services are provided without payment.
Disciplinary Sanctions
Students in violation of the CIM Code of Conduct or attendance policies may be sanctioned at any time by the Office of the Student Affairs. See policies and sanctions in the CIM Student Handbook.
