Unlawful activities: HANDGUNS AND WEAPONS BROUGHT TO CLASS, BROUGHT TO THE SCHOOL OR BROUGHT TO MODULE 5

Bringing any weapon or handgun to class, to the school or to Module 5 is a Violation in the Policies and Procedures of the School. Further, unless the individual is a Law Enforcement Officer, bringing a concealed handgun to class is a violation and grounds for immediate termination from the program in NY State. Schools have specific rules regarding concealed weapons and hand guns. Brandishing a handgun is also a violation which would mandate immediate expulsion from the school permanently. Any student who believes that this regulation is arbitrary or not in their best interest should seek out another school and do not attend classes at the Merrell Institute. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, friendly environment for our students, faculty and staff and we cannot allow anyone to violate this policy. We are not willing to expose ourselves or our students to a concealed weapon or weapons. Students are here to learn, not to bring a handgun to class.

Respectfully Submitted, MERRELL INSTITUTE; Appraisal Education Network School and All Subsidiaries of our firms.
