College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[Loves Disney]

They sure do. I will be doing my 4th CP in May. Only 2 of them were semester-long programs, as the other 2 (including the one in May) were just over the summer. I did get behind though, but I don't care.

If you don't mind me asking, how far behind did it put you? (I'm considering doing the program more than once - and if the set back isn't that bad, I won't care either lol).

If you are in attractions, do you work at more than one attraction?
Also, if you work at one place, can you pick up shifts somewhere else?

 

[Ylushi]

Oh another thing as well.
I have my ears pierced twice, so does that mean when I am at work I will have to remove one set of earrings?

Well, I also switched majors after my second CP. Overall, I would have only been 1 semester behind. But I personally didn't want to have 20 credits in 1 semester, so I decided to take a second semester (so I will be graduating next May, instead of this May).

It depends on the area. Some areas you get trained in more then 1 ride (like in Fantasyland). In other areas, you just work one ride.

And yes. As long as it doesn't require special training.

Yes. Females can only have 1 set of earrings in at work

Unfortunately all other earrings must be taken out (besides the one per ear).

No, they're not within Disney Look Guidelines.

Do we have to have physicals for the cp or is it if we have medical issues?

As far as I know- for either reason- there are no exams required.

No unfortunately. Males can not have any earrings in at work.

You just need to fill out a form if there are medical issues.

ok, for check in day, i understand they allow you to dress casual since you will be moving all your stuff in. Heres my question, Can i wear short sleeves and shorts if tattoos will be visible? I have tattoos on my lower left arm, and on the backs of my calfs. If im going to be moving a lot of stuff, i dont really want to be wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt, but i will if i have to. I guess i could change into something more casual as soon as the check in part was done.

That should be fine as long as you mentioned during your interview that you have tattoos. You definitely want to be comfortable during the check-in day, for obvious reasons.

On the subject of earrings, I have three ear piercings (one of which is the cartilage) - I can't keep my cartilage piercing out for long periods of time or it will close up. When they say only one earring in each ear, do they mean lobe only, or would it be okay if I took out my two lobe piercings and left in my one cartilage? (it's not high up on my ear, just above my two other earrings).

Unfortunately I don't believe cartilage earrings are acceptable. Keep in mind that the appearance standards are designed to be conservative, professional and classic, and cartilage earrings aren't really in keeping with that.

Earrings must be a simple, matched pair in gold, silver or a color that blends with the costume. One earring in each ear is permitted. Earrings may be clip-on or pierced and must be worn on the bottom of the earlobe. Post earrings may not exceed the size of a quarter. Hoop earrings no larger than a dime are also permitted.

So my sister still didn't receive any letter yet, it's been 3 weeks and 4 days.

She emailed recruiting on Friday, but still no response. Should she be worried?

No. The earrings have to be in the lobe.

I wouldn't. It took mine 5 weeks.
