STUDENT RULES OF BEHAVIOR

1. Students are subject to the authority of the teacher/chaperone.

2. Nightly curfew will be established by the teacher/chaperone in each hotel and relayed to the students. Students are expected to be in their own hotel room at the indicated curfew time. Bed checks will be made by the teacher/chaperone.

3. Students may not leave their hotel rooms once the bed check has been made. The hotel staff has been advised to notify the teacher/chaperone if there is any infraction to this rule.

4. Students are not permitted to change assigned hotel rooms. Under very special circumstances a change may be made only with the permission of the teacher/chaperone.

5. Students must respect hotel property. The student responsible must pay for any damage or misappropriation of hotel property before the group will be permitted to depart from the hotel.

6. Students must pay for phone calls and any other incidental expenses incurred at the hotel the evening prior to departure.

7. Students must be considerate and respectful of the rights of other guests at the hotel. The law abroad protects the right of any individual to a restful night’s sleep, and the police will enforce this right.

8. Students must be on time for all scheduled activities. Tardiness results in inconveniencing others, missing some of the planned activities and in some instances, possible financial loss.

9. Students must present themselves for each meal included in the program. Teacher/chaperone should already know of any dietary problem or limitation and will try to make adjustments accordingly.

10. Students are not permitted to drink alcoholic beverages. Small amounts of wine or beer may be taken with the evening meal (according to the customs of the country visited) provided that the teacher/chaperone is present and the parents have given written permission.

11. Students are expected to participate in all planned group activities. The only excuse from an excursion or activity is illness. Anyone who is too sick to participate in a scheduled activity is too ill to take part in free time or evening plans that day.

12. Students are not permitted to go off on their own. Free time provides an opportunity for independent activities and the pursuit of personal interests; however, students must engage in these activities in groups of three or more. The teacher/chaperone should always be told where the students are going, with whom and the time that they will return to the hotel.

13. Students may not go out at night unless they are accompanied by a teacher/chaperone.

14. Students may not enter or ride any motorized vehicle (car, scooter, motorbike, boat, etc.) . The only approved motorized vehicles are those provided by the tour directors or vehicles of public transportation.

15. Students are warned that carrying or using drugs in all foreign nations is an offense that is punished by immediate imprisonment. The chaperones and tour leaders cannot be responsible for helping any student who so violates the law. Even consular intervention will not bring about release of the offender. Required medication should be prescribed by a doctor and properly labeled.

16. Students should follow the rules established by the teacher/chaperone in order to keep safe passports, airline tickets, and any other travel documents. Bravo Tours cannot be held responsible if lost.

17. Students are expected to take care of their own spending money. The teacher/chaperone will be happy to give students advice. Bravo Tours cannot be held responsible or the loss or misappropriation of student’s spending money.

18. Students are expected to show consideration and respect for their fellow students, teacher/chaperone, tour leaders, guides, bus drivers, and hotel and restaurant personnel.

19. Any student who commits a serious breach of discipline may be expelled form the tour at any time. He will be returned to the U.S.A. by Bravo Tours and the teacher/chaperone at the expense of the parents of the student.
