The SPS Program recognizes and respects diversity in family systems and structures. Therefore, it is acceptable for a child to leave campus to visit family or friends, or in order to comply with a standing custody order while the student parent remains on campus. However, it is a condition of the SPS Program that the participants (i.e. mothers or fathers) have primary physical custody or primary custody of their child(ren). All questions regarding this matter, including extended absences of one’s child, must be discussed with the SPS director.
