ATTENDANCE POLICY

Each student that enrolls in the School signs an agreement to attend school for a specific amount of hours each week. However the School understands that at times other things may take precedence and is willing to make allowances for these absences. Ten absences per year are written into the students contract, however this does not include the students Friday or Saturday. In the event a student misses the last day of their contracted week, they will pay a fine of $4.16 for each hour missed before returning to school. Students are subject to a double fine the day before and after a holiday, when absent.

When a student arrives at school they are provided with a computerized time card, which records the proper time. Students are totally responsible for clocking themselves in and out. Those students failing to use the time clock will not have hours corrected, and are subject to losing that portion of time. Students attending over 4 hours per day are allotted a thirty minute break somewhere in the middle of the day, designated by the Director, which they will clock out for. When a student leaves the school she will also clock out. This record of time attended will be rounded to the nearest quarter hour and reported to the Board. Hours are not changed with out the written authority of the Board.

Students arriving later than five minutes after Theory Class or 9:00 AM will not be permitted to clock in until 10:00 that day. More than five late arrivals in a month constitute probation.

The School will permit a Student one (1) leave of absence for a period not to exceed sixty days during enrollment. This absence must be requested in writing prior to the absence being excused unless there are extenuating circumstances such as auto accidents. These circumstances will be judged individually.

Other absences that may be excused by the School must be verifiable special circumstances such as but not limited to: 1) Medical problems 2) Severe weather conditions that prevent safe travel. The school director, under special circumstances that will be documented and placed in the students file, may consider other absences excused on individual basis.

ATTENDANCE PROGRESS

Each student will be monitored at the end of each month to determine if the student is within the maximum time frames. Students must attend an accumulative 88% of the scheduled hours to maintain satisfactory attendance.

Each student will be evaluated for Satisfactory Progress at 300-450-900 and 1350 hours. All practical, written exams and cumulative % of attendance will be evaluated at this time. Students meeting the minimum requirements at evaluation will be considered making Satisfactory Progress until the next evaluation.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Each student will be monitored at the end of each month to determine if the student is completing the theory, practical (practical and clinical are synonymous) and other school assigned projects. The factors to be evaluated in each course are as established by the BOARD. These requirements are listed in the catalog. Students may be warned if their work begins slipping.

At the end of the freshman term "300 hours" each student will be administered a comprehensive practical and theory exam that will cover all parts of the material taught in the freshman department.

The grading scale which is to be used for theory, practical and sanitation is outlined below:

A - 95-100

B - 90-95

C - 86-89

D- 80-85

At the end of the grading period all grades for the student will be averaged together to determine the overall academic grade. Progress reports are monitored monthly.

FAILING: Anything below 80%

GENERAL

A student will be considered to be making satisfactory progress as long as all grades are 80% or above and the minimum number of hours and theory work for the period are completed within the maximum time frame required. Students must meet 88% accumulative attendance and academic minimum standards during each grading period to remain in satisfactory progress.

A student who does not meet the minimum requirements during a grading period will be placed on probation and re-evaluated at the next scheduled evaluation. The student is still considered to be making satisfactory progress until failing to meet the minimum standards for two consecutive grading periods. A student must meet or exceed the minimum standards for one full grading period in order to be removed from the probation status or to achieve satisfactory progress status. A student who does not achieve satisfactory progress for two consecutive grading periods is no longer eligible for Title IV assistance A student who does not achieve academic progress for two consecutive grading periods will be terminated from the program.

A student whose training is interrupted due to unsatisfactory progress who wishes to re-enter, may after 30 days receive individual counseling from the School Manager after which a decision will be made regarding the student's re-entry to school.

To re-establish eligibility for federal funds after the student re-enters the student will be monitored after 30 days to determine if they are making satisfactory progress (80% grade average and 88% cumulative percentage of attendance). Financial Aid will be re-instated when the student meets these minimums.

Re-Establish Eligibility: A student whose financial aid is terminated due to unsatisfactory progress who wishes to re-establish eligibility for financial aid must complete 88% cumulative percentage of attendance and a 80% grade average for that month. At this time, the student will be evaluated to determine if they are making satisfactory progress. Students making satisfactory progress will be re-instated with financial aid.

Course incomplete, repetitions, and non-credit remedial courses will have no effect on these satisfactory progress standards.

A student who interrupts training for less than 60 consecutive days will remain in the same progress status upon return to school. When a student who withdraws from the course and returns to school after 60 days from interruption, the student will be given credit for all previous hours, successful achievements, and will remain in the same progress status upon return to school.

In the event a student fails to make satisfactory progress the student and has mitigating circumstances that the student feels affected their progress, is allowed to make an appeal to a board of at least two staff members and one member of the Advisory Board. The appeal must be in writing and received by the school (attention: Ann Halloran) 7 working days from the receipt of the probation notice. The school will respond 7 days after the appeal hearing telling if the appeal is granted or denied.
