• There may be less formal supervision of your assignments abroad than in the U.S. and more responsibility placed upon students to complete assignments autonomously 
• Syllabi may or may not be distributed to the students in class, and may be less detailed in universities abroad
• There may not be required textbooks
• Attendance policies may be more relaxed or non-existent
• There may be less graded assignments throughout the semester, meaning that your final grade may rely solely on a final exam or paper

Withdrawals and Removals

Student Conduct

JBIP participants are expected to abide by the laws of the host country and uphold the same behavioral standards we expect of the Queens Community and the Honor Code. Behavior that is disruptive to the program, others, or presents an unfavorable representation of Queens will be addressed as follows.

First Offense - student will meet with faculty leader(s)

Second Offense - student will receive a written letter of reprimand and may be asked to report daily to the faculty leader for a specified length of time. The letter will be sent to the Dean of Students and PCIE Director, who will determine if further action is warranted.

Third Offense - student will be expelled from the program, and returned home at their expense with no refund of any costs. This decision will be made by the PCIE Director, in consultation with the faculty leaders. The Dean of Students will be notified and the student may face Honor Code violations upon return.

The following behavior problems are considered serious enough to warrant immediate dismissal from the program. Students who commit such infractions will be expelled from the program and will receive no refund. The Dean of Students will be notified and the student may face Honor Code violations upon return.

1. Theft, vandalism, or any other criminal behavior
2. Abuse of alcohol and/or drugs*
3. Sexual harassment or misconduct
