Students are expected to comply with regulations, policies, procedures and laws established by the Knowledge Exchange Institute, the host institution and the host country. Failure to comply with these policies may result in a warning, probation and/or dismissal of the student from the program. Reckless behavior, especially any actions that jeopardize the safety and health of the student and/or other students, and any actions that jeopardize relations with the host institution and community, may also lead to a warning, probation and/or dismissal from the program. The final decision to take disciplinary action is entirely under the discretion of KEI, its staff, the host institution and the authorities of the host country.

Warning
In most cases requiring disciplinary action, students will be given a verbal and written warning and asked to sign an �agreement of understanding.� Repeated offenses may result in more severe disciplinary action such as probation or dismissal from the program. KEI may also choose to notify the student�s home university, emergency contact (as specified on the Application Form), and person or organization paying the program price (if other than the student). In some cases, especially in situations where the safety or health of others is grossly jeopardized, the student may be placed on probation or dismissed from the program without warning.

Probation
Students placed on probation will have limited privileges. The length of the probation period and the restrictions placed on the student depend on the severity of the situation and will be determined by KEI with the assistance of on-site staff and host institution, if applicable. The student�s home university, emergency contact (as specified on the Application Form) and person or organization paying the program price (if other than the student) may be notified of the probation.

Dismissal
Program dismissal is the most severe form of disciplinary action. The student will be removed from the program, withdrawn from all courses at the host institution, and forfeit all rights pertaining to KEI participants. Students will be given 10 days to make arrangements to return home. Arranging transportation home (and paying for any additional fees incurred) is the sole responsibility of the student. Housing and housing privileges will be revoked after the 10-day period. The student�s home institution, emergency contact (as specified on the Application Form) and person or organization paying the program price (if other than the student) will be notified of the dismissal. Refunds are not granted to any student who is dismissed for academic or behavioral reasons from a KEI program. Academic credit will also be forfeited.
