STUDENT AGREEMENT
I, __________________________________________ (full name), agree to participate in the Science and Technology
Entry Program (STEP) at Baruch College. As a participant, I will attend the activities as scheduled, I will arrive on time,
and I will put forth my best effort as a participant. I understand that continued participation in STEP requires a
commitment that I attend the program sessions regularly and on time. I will accept tutoring by the STEP staff, will
cooperate with instructors, tutors, and administrative staff, and will participate in field trips, seminars, and other events. I
understand that students are allowed no more than two absences per semester. Once a student is removed from the
program, the only way to rejoin will be through a scheduled interview with the director before the following semester.
