Release of Liability

By typing my name in the field below, I, for myself, for my child, do hereby release Berklee College of Music and its principals, trustees, directors, officers, agents, employees, and the staff and instructors from the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education from all liability with respect to my child, and I waive any claim for damages arising from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to claims that my child was less than successful in the Daytime Moon Creations Theater Program.

By typing my name in the field below, I hereby consent to and authorize Berklee College of Music and/or any of its vendors and their representatives to use still photographs, video footage, and audio recordings of my child in films, video, and audio presentations for associated nonprofit purposes, including a documentary film designed to promote public awareness and education about autism, and for fundraising purposes. I hereby waive any rights to privacy or compensation regarding my authorized release of this video and audio material, and I agree to hold Berklee College of Music harmless from any and all claims relating to my authorized release of said material. I understand that usage of the video/audio may be seen/heard by the general public on our website(s) and in public or private screenings, and I understand that Berklee College of Music has full and complete rights to those images.
Student Code of Conduct

All students are expected to abide by the Student Code of Community Standards. Due to the age range of students involved in summer programs, there are additional policies in effect that are designed and enforced to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the students participating. Daytime Moon Creations students must abide by the following policies: 

1. Possession and/or use of alcoholic beverages is prohibited, regardless of age. It is also a violation to be in the presence of or under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs while at the Daytime Moon Theater Program.

2. Sexual activity is prohibited while participating in the program. Any activity which is a violation of Massachusetts General Law c.265, s.23 (commonly known as the Statutory Rape Law), regarding statutory rape and abuse of a child, is unlawful and in violation of the standards. Also, please understand that by law we may be required to report this behavior to state authorities and such behavior may also be grounds for immediate dismissal from the program without reimbursement of tuition and fees. Please note that in Massachusetts this defines a child as someone under the age of 16.
3. Participants must abide by the checkin policies as prescribed by their program.
Violations of these standards will be investigated swiftly and may lead to immediate removal from the program without reimbursement of fees, as well as parental notification. There is zero tolerance for violations of the alcohol and drug policy, and such violations will result in removal from the summer program.
