Academic Progress Policy
1-3 Day Courses:
Students will be evaluated daily on qualitative factors through skill lists and practical skill evaluations. Students are required to maintain a satisfactory standing in the class each day.
Progress reports will be given weekly for programs and daily for shorter classes, 100% attendance is required in order for certifications of completion to be granted. In order to maintain satisfactory standing, students must have 100% attendance (or make up all missed hours) and meet minimum academic requirements.
Courses Longer than 3 Days:
Students are required to maintain a satisfactory standing in the class. If a student is not meeting satisfactory standards they will be placed on probation. The probationary period is not meeting more than 15 days and appropriate length is determined by course length and progress in the program. Termination from the program will occur at the Director's discretion if at the end of the probationary period the student is still not at a satisfactory standing in the class. The Director will notify the student of termination. Students must meet attendance and academic requirements to maintain satisfactory standing. Attendance must remain above 85% and academic grade point average must remain above 76%.
