We are committed to fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere for all SNAP participants, in alignment with the values of the Student Association of George Brown College. To uphold equity and respect for both students and staff, SNAP has established policies that we expect George Brown students to adhere to, ensuring an environment of respect, integrity, and safety during service interactions.

To address students who repeatedly break one or more rules. SNAP has implemented a Warning System to track and manage instances where students violate the rules set by SNAP. It could involve a series of escalating warnings or consequences for each subsequent rule violation.

1. First Strike: Written warning and a reminder of the SNAP policies in place.
2. Second Strike: Written warning and a follow-up meeting/email with Community Service Coordinator.
3. Third Strike: Meeting with Community Service Coordinator and Equity and Advocacy Manager about alternative food sources that may be better suited for your needs. There will be a later assessment of your ability to follow the SNAP rules for the following semester and you will be asked not to use the service for the current semester.
