Day Students
The guideline for application as a day student shall be living at a distance no greater than 16 miles from the Academy. Those applicants living outside of the 16-mile radius may only apply as boarding students unless granted a special exemption by the President.
Day students wishing to take occasional breakfast and dinner meals in Pickard Dining Hall will be charged at a rate of $6 per meal. Students will not be charged for any cordial or special invitation meals. Day students entering Pickard Dining Hall during the breakfast or dinner hours will be considered to be taking meals and will be charged accordingly.
Day students must fulfill the same guidelines for behavior as boarding students. In addition to these general school policies, day students also are expected to do the following:
1. Contact the Academic Dean's Office by 8 a.m. in case of illness or other necessary absences from campus 920-885-3373 ext. 249. All absences from class must be excused in writing within two school days. Parents must call the Academic Office in order to clear absences.
2. Report to the Health Center and the Academic Dean prior to leaving school due to illness during the day.
3. Leave school during the academic day only with permission of the Academic Dean or the Dean of Students.
4. Use cars only for transportation to and from campus. Cars must be parked on Franklin Street or in the parking lot at the Field House. Students failing to comply with parking regulations may lose driving privileges. Cars may not be used during the school day (8 a.m. - after athletics/AAP). The use of cars at times other than those stipulated will be viewed as a major-rule infraction. Day students on campus after sports must park in the back parking lot or on Franklin Street.
5. Keep the locker facilities in Pickard Hall in good condition at all times. Only Wayland Academy-supplied locks may be used on lockers. The Dean of Students will remove other locks.
6. Live with a relative or a legal guardian.
7. Change of status from boarding student to day student must have the permission of the President.
The campus will be closed to all day students and guests at 7:30 p.m., Sundays through Thursdays, and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings. Exceptions are required activities such as rehearsals, study hall, athletic contests or practices, library use, etc. Day students may only be in the areas designated for such activities.
If transportation issues arise after 7:30 p.m., day students should report to the Dean of Students or the faculty supervisor in one of the resident halls.
