Applicable Laws, Regulations, and Policies Regarding Conduct and Removal from the Program. I understand that while I participate in the program, I am subject to the regulations, code of conduct, and guidelines of my home institution of which I am a matriculating student and to which the study abroad credits will transfer, the SUNY administering campus through which I am participating in this program if different from the home institution, the host institution where I will be temporarily enrolled for a term or set length of time, a provider on a contract with the State University of New York, as well as the laws of the United States of America, the State of New York, the host country and any other country where I may travel or stay. I agree to obey these rules, guidelines, regulations, codes, policies and laws. SUNY reserves the right to decline, accept, or retain me in the program at any time should my actions or general behavior impede the operation of the program or the rights or welfare of any person. Similarly, if my conduct violates any policy or procedure of SUNY or the host institution, or the laws of the host country or any country where I may travel or where I stay, I understand that I may be required to leave the program at the sole discretion of SUNY’s employees, agents and representatives. I may be referred to the appropriate SUNY officials for further disciplinary or other action, and I may be banned from program property. In such an event, no refund will be made for any portion of the program and I will return to the United States at my own expense. I understand and acknowledge that the manufacture, distribution, possession, use or sale of controlled substances as defined by New York State and/or federal law, and/or the laws of the host country or other country where I visit is prohibited during the program. I understand that I will be directly subject to the laws and legal procedures of the respective foreign country and host institution as they apply to the use, possession and distribution of illegal drugs, and these will be strictly enforced by local authorities. Furthermore, I understand and acknowledge that I am solely responsible for ascertaining the lawful age for the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in the respective country and for my conduct in compliance with local laws as enforced by local authorities. I understand that, even if I am of lawful age for consumption thereof, abuse of alcohol even in my free time may be grounds for my dismissal from the program.
