Students are expected to follow general behavior rules of being respectful of each other, the instructor and staff, as well as the College facility. Inappropriate and dangerous behavior will not be tolerated and Moore reserves the right to dismiss students from class. Students dismissed from the program do not receive refunds.

Respecting Each Other: We are part of a supportive, inclusive, and kind community at Moore. We hold space for each other to thrive and support one another as we move toward our personal and professional goals. 

Respecting the Space: We respect the space we share with the Moore community. We respect the technology, studios, classrooms, and spaces we share. We respect others when we attend field trips and when we leave the building. We carry kindness and professionalism forward into our daily interactions. 

Academic Goals: We stretch to reach our unique creative goals, working on amazing portfolios and listening to our mentors. We create an academic community where everyone is creating something incredible, independently and together.  

Basic Safety: We care for each other’s well-being and follow the rules to keep each other safe. If something seems unsafe, we let our trusted mentors know so they can help us have the best experience possible this session. 

"Inappropriate” and "dangerous" behavior means behavior that interferes with normal educational functions. Examples include, but are not limited to; bullying, sexual harassment or misconduct, physical threats, personal insults, bodily harm, bodily modification, consumption of illegal substances, illegal underage activity, and any illegal acts. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in disciplinary action, program dismissal, and the involvement of security and law enforcement. 

Online classes enable the Moore community the convenience of studying anywhere. Moore's online classes provide students with visually–rich interactive learning. Nervous about learning online? Youth students learn to navigate structured online classrooms with trained professional faculty, gain familiarity with online communication, and get a sense of the dynamics of online interaction as the course begins. Before class gets started, get connected to a strong wifi source, test your Moodle login, and make sure to obtain your Zoom link from your instructor. Use your instructor as a resource and remember that Google is your friend. 

If you're still having trouble, don't panic - our team is here to help! If you are experiencing technical or hardware issues, please submit a ticket and notify your instructor of technical difficulties. If you are experiencing login credential issues, please contact our team at ce@moore.edu.
