Policies

TECHNOLOGY POLICIES

Q: WHAT IS THE CELLPHONE POLICY?

A: The wise use of technology is a good thing, and we will be using technology in our classrooms as we learn together (we will provide what is needed). However, in order to limit distractions and encourage community, focus, and learning, cellphone use will be prohibited for the duration of Immersion. Students will be able to use their cellphones upon arrival at the airport/arrival on Impact 360 Institute campus. Cellphones will then be turned-off, collected, and placed in a locked cabinet after parents have been notified of their student’s safe arrival at Impact 360.

We ask that parents/guardians give their students space to learn and grow themselves by honoring our request to only contact their students in the case of emergencies or during designated times. In our experience working with high school and college students we have found that times of disconnecting from cellphones and other technology provides a great opportunity to reflect, grow, and connect with new friends. If you want to regularly keep in touch with your student, we encourage you to do so through mail!

If for some reason parents/guardians need to communicate with their students, they can do so by emailing [email protected] or calling 706-457-4124.

EMERGENCY POLICY

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY?

A: In the case of any emergency

  • Appropriate legal authorities will be contacted immediately
  • Our program coordinator and director will be notified as soon as possible
  • Students will be notified, and regularly updated as is appropriate
  • Parents will be notified, and regularly updated as soon as possible

Q: WHAT IS THE POLICY FOR TORNADOES AND OTHER DANGEROUS WEATHER?

A: Impact 360 Institute is equipped with a large storm shelter with plenty of space for all of those staying overnight on campus. In the case of dangerous weather, parents will be notified and able to reach our full-time team.

DATING RELATIONSHIPS / SEXUAL ACTIVITY POLICY

Q: CAN STUDENTS DATE ONE ANOTHER AT IMPACT 360 IMMERSION?

A: We expect all students to be as inclusive as possible during their time at Impact 360 Immersion. Young dating couples who attend Immersion together will not display affection physically, draw unnecessary attention to their relationship, or spend time together one-on-one.

Students who meet one another at Impact 360 Immersion are not permitted to enter into a dating relationship. We will encourage any young couple considering dating a friend they meet at Impact 360 Immersion to talk with their parents/guardians before making such commitments.

Additionally, students will not engage in any sexual activity during their Impact 360 Immersion experience. Students who engage in sexual activity will immediately have their parents/guardians contacted via phone by someone on our team.
