<aside> 🌟 One of Lambda School's most important jobs is building and maintaining a strong, supportive, positive learning environment that leads to successful career outcomes for all Lambda School Learners. Lambda School takes that job very seriously. Any activity (creating distractions, bullying, harassment, etc.) that negatively impacts the learning environment may result in being removed from the program. If removed from the School for violations of the Learner Guide, Code of Conduct, Enrollment Agreement or other published policies, the learner may qualify for a proration of their income share agreement (ISA) or retail installment contract (RIC), or partial upfront or installment plan tuition refund. Personalized information about tuition options and related policies can be found on a learner's MyLambda page.

Lambda School is a professional environment. It is expected that Learners act accordingly. Punctuality, timeliness, accountability, and open communication are crucial not only for a Learner's success at Lambda School, but also in their careers afterward. The professional expectations Lambda School requires of its learners are the same a learner's future employers will expect of them. Professionalism should be a theme that runs through a learner's work and interactions at Lambda. This includes communication via Slack, Zoom, content of a learner's work, and naming conventions. A good rule of thumb is: if a Learner wouldn’t do or say it in front of an employer or colleagues at their job, they shouldn't do it here at Lambda School.
Lambda School is fortunate to have Learners, instructors, and staff from extremely diverse backgrounds. Contribute to creating a positive experience for everyone by being respectful in communication. Learners are expected to do their part to make Lambda School a welcoming place to learn by encouraging their fellow Learners, offering support, and listening to others. Lambda School does not tolerate discriminatory, harassing, or insulting remarks to other Learners, instructors, staff, or anyone else, online or in person; for more detail see the Discrimination and Harassment policy below.
Learners are expected to abide by local laws and regulations regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs. In addition, the following are considered violations if a learner does so while participating in Lambda School programs and activities:

If a Learner has a concern about another individual regarding alcohol or other drugs, they should notify the Learner Success Team via /frontdesk.
Learners are responsible for maintaining the appropriate security of Lambda School property, both tangible, like computers and tech equipment, and intangible intellectual property such as curriculum and content. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lambda School property in the Learner's possession or control must be immediately returned to Lambda School upon any extended leave, withdrawal, completion, and/or termination.
Learners may not take, attempt to take, keep in their possession, sell, or attempt to sell property (intellectual or physical), information, services, or accounts belonging to Lambda School or other individual(s). This includes, but is not limited to, loaned equipment. Learners also may not commit actual or attempted damage or destruction of any property or item, including intellectual or physical property, information, and/or accounts.
