Students who are ill and unable to complete Grounds Detail must visit a doctor ’ s office and present a dated medical note to the Vice President of Student Affairs for consideration upon return to campus the following week . Engine trouble , weather conditions , flat tires , and traffic jams are not acceptable reasons for failing to serve Grounds Detail as scheduled .
Time on Grounds at the End of the Year { 6 / 30 / 23 } Time on Grounds not served by the conclusion of the academic year must be served during the summer period as scheduled by the Vice President of Student Affairs . Seniors with remaining time on Grounds at the end of the spring semester must work them off during Cleanup Week .
Unless exempted by the Vice President of Student Affairs , all Time on Grounds must be worked off prior to the start of the subsequent academic year , defined as the beginning of athletic sport camps in August . If students return to campus with remaining Time on Grounds from the previous year , they will be restricted to the campus on weekends for the month of September .
System of Rewards / Incentives { 6 / 30 / 23 }
In recognition of the effort required for students to comply with Williamson ’ s Conduct Code , a series of rewards / incentives is offered . Students may accumulate rewards over the course of a year but may not carry them over from one year to the next ( except early dismissal privilege , see below ).
For the following reward , the academic year is divided into four quarters : August 15 – October 15 , October 16 – December 31 , January 1 – March 1 , March 2 – April 15 .
Overnight Leaves Any student who has accrued 8 points or less in a quarter earns 1 Overnight Leave . Any student who has accrued 0 points in a quarter earns an additional Overnight Leave . ( See section on “ Overnight Leaves ” for procedure .)
Academic Day Off Students with no violations in a semester will be granted one day off in the subsequent semester . Each year , Student Affairs will coordinate with Academic Affairs to predesignate a number of days from which students may choose . The day off must be coordinated in advance though the Student Affairs office .
Positive Points { 6 / 10 / 23 }
To the same degree that violations of the Conduct Code garner points against a student ’ s disciplinary record , which can lead to Disciplinary Points and Probation , there exists a process whereby adherence to the Conduct Code can remove those points . “ Positive points ” counteract and eliminate points already on a student ’ s record . A student earns positive points simply by not accruing additional violations . For each calendar month that passes , students who have not accrued any new violations will have 2 points removed from their disciplinary record . Positive points cannot be banked below a zero-point total . Positive points also do not counteract a student previously meeting a points threshold . Due to the timing of Winter Break , December and January timelines are combined .
Juniors with Senior Privilege { 6 / 23 / 21 }
Juniors who make the Dean ’ s List ( 3.67 GPA ) the previous semester have earned “ Senior Privilege ” and may leave campus following Evening Lineup in the same manner as Seniors . Senior Privilege is calculated semester to semester , meaning that a Junior may have Senior privilege in the Fall of his Junior year , but may lose it for the Spring if his Fall grades slip . Juniors who qualify for Senior Privilege must return to campus no later than 10pm each night .
