Therefore, the French Library reserves the right to dismiss any person whose behavior is inappropriate or disruptive to the our environment and to other people.
We will not tolerate any abusive behavior towards any patron or member of the staff.
If the French Library receives such a complaint from a teacher and/or fellow students about a student, a meeting will be called with that student to notify him or her of the complaint and to request a change if and when warranted. If after that warning, the student continues to be disruptive, the student will be dismissed and barred from registering for future classes, and, when appropriate, the Center will issue a pro-rated refund for any classes not yet taken.
We reserve the right to augment or authorize temporary suspension of any of these policies.
In addition to the following policies, please also follow verbal instructions given by any French Library staff.
