There are certain experiences throughout the year that are critical to the effectiveness of the program and your leadership development within it. As a student, you have the responsibility and obligation to make choices and balance your priorities; however, for NGSC required events, we do not offer excused absences (with the exception of ASU classes and religious holidays). Should you miss an event, your absence or failure to participate will be documented, and after each semester, program staff will evaluate your participation as a member of NGSC. Failure to comply with participation standards of the program will impact your program status resulting in a warning, probation, or removal from the program, including a possible reduction or loss of your PSA Scholarship.
