Failure to observe the Honor Code or other policies outlined in the Theatre Student Handbook and syllabus may result in position reassignment, and/or a grade of "F" for the course. • Actors are required to provide their own shoes and makeup. Technicians are required to provide their own backstage black clothing and flashlight. No open-toed shoes backstage, please. • All Crew Members crews are required to keep a time log of their hours worked for the production. These hours will include performances, rehearsals, costume fittings, work calls and meetings. The student will total all the hours worked and sign the log book under the Honor Code. The form that must be used is in the Shop Log Book in the Tech Office Failure to record all hours appropriately will cause the final course grade to be lowered by 30 points. While there is not a “set” number of hours for any given running crew position, the faculty and staff do look at disparities between the number of hours reported by members of the same crew and take that into account. • All students are required to attend the SETC Information meeting as a part of their course duties. Time and Date will be announced • All students are required to read the on-line Department Handbook. Students involved in Lights, Props, or Sound crews will have additional handbooks to read as well. Each student will then sign, under the Honor Code, a statement verifying that he/she has read the Handbook(s). Failure to achieve this will result in the loss of a full letter from the final course grade. • All theatre practicum students will attend the strike for the production. Those hours will be added to the final total. • Student Leaders (Stage Manager, Company Manager, Costume Manager, Light Crew Head, Props Crew Head, Student Technical Director) can expect to have additional responsibilities and factors which will help determine final course grade. • If a student requires Academic Accommodation the student must contact the Coordinator of Accommodations, Angie Smith at BSC at 226-7909 ( [email protected] )
