o. Participating in such University activities as Freshman Orientation parties or fraternity
           and/or sorority parties.

7. Campers will not engage in hazing activities. There is zero tolerance for HAZING. It is the policy
    of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (BOT Regulation 2.028) that any persons
    affiliated with the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University are prohibited from engaging
    in any form(s) of hazing activities. Any persons having knowledge of or receiving information
    regarding hazing or violation of the Regulation must report it to the FAMU Department of Public
    Safety within 24 hours. The commission of such acts will incur penalties from the individual staff
    or camper’s dismissal up to program suspension. Additionally, penalties may be imposed for
    violation of criminal law as prescribed by s. 1006.63, Florida Statutes.
8. Campers must maintain sleeping area in a safe and sanitary manner (e.g. clean their rooms
    daily).
9. All campers who will be leaving the program after an evening culminating activity must check
    out of the dorm with __________ prior to the activity.
10. Each camper must have a signed Travel Authorization and a Medical Release Form on file.
11. All programs will have a centralized location for checking campers in and out. No parent,
    guardian, sibling, or other relative will be permitted to pick up a camper without prior notice to
    the Camp Director. The person picking up the camper must present a valid form of identification
    and must be listed on the authorized pick up list. Parents and guardians will be informed of
    these rules to avoid confusion and delays in checking out campers. No camper will be released
    without notice and identification. Campers who are checked out by a parent or guardian must
    be back at the dorm by a time specified at checkout. Emergencies will be the exception. There
    shall be a head count conducted every night to make sure all campers are accounted for.
12. Campers are not permitted to have a car on campus. If they have jobs, they must make other
    arrangements to get to the job site.
13. On October 1, 2012, new mandatory reporting child abuse requirements became effective in
    Part III, Chapter 39, Florida Statutes. Such mandatory reporting requirements were made
    applicable to colleges and universities, in addition to the pre-existing reporting duties.
    Specifically, section 39.305, Florida Statutes, subjects colleges and universities to a $1 million
    fine for each failure of its administrators and law enforcement agency to report known or
    suspected child abuse, abandonment, or neglect committed on the property of the university or
    during a university-sponsored event or function to the Department of Children and Families
    (DCF). Pursuant to the above-referenced statute, the Florida Board of Governors promulgated
    Regulation 3.002 to provide additional guidance to Universities on the issue. Section 39.305,
    Florida Statutes and BOG Regulation 3.002 are incorporated herein by reference.
    Summer programs take place on FAMU’s campus and program activities are considered
    University-sponsored events or functions. Therefore, summer program representatives (e.g.
    administrators, directors, counselors, faculty, staff, etc.) have a duty to protect our vulnerable
    summer program participants by immediately reporting known or suspected child abuse,
    abandonment, or neglect committed on the property of the university or during a university-
    sponsored event or function. Reports shall be made to DCF, FAMU Department of Public Safety
    and to Ms. Phyllis Watson, Director, Continuing Education.
