Direct disobedience. g. Dishonesty. 4. D-point work hours (D Hours) Accumulated D-points can result in a variety of consequences with work hours being the most common. Two work hours will normally be assigned for every five D-points accumulated. The following is a description of how the discipline work hours function: a. Students will be notified by their RD. b. Students receiving notices will be scheduled for their work hours through Sling. c. When work hours conflict with approved special permissions, students are expected to work their hours. Students with outstanding work hours will be denied special permission applications. d. In general, discipline work hours occur on Mondays. Work will begin at 9:00 AM or at 2:00 PM (or both if necessary). For example, if a student’s regularly scheduled service assignment occurs on Monday mornings, they are expected to report at 2:00 PM. However, if a student has a school-mandated responsibility that prevents them from working on Monday or if the student worked on a Monday but still owes work hours, they are expected to request of their Resident Director to work on another/additional day(s) of the week. e. All students assigned discipline work hours are to report to the assigned work area at the designated time. Work hour slips must be signed by supervisor and returned to RD within the week of assigned D Hours. Skipping assigned work hours will result in a reassignment and will be considered the equivalent of skipping a required activity. f. Discipline work hours may not be rescheduled. Those who are sick should see their RD to get reassigned. 5. D-point appeals

c. Appeals related to Service or Ministry Assignments are to be brought to the Ministry Department. d. Appeals related to classroom and academics are to be brought to the Academic Department. e. Denied appeals may be brought to the respective Ministry and Student Life Deans, if necessary.
