CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION OR TRAINING A student requesting to receive credit for prior education or employment must submit copies of school transcript(s) demonstrating a 3.5 GPA proficiency and/or relevant work history to the Admissions Office for school review, as well as successfully pass the module test at no less than 80% (at no charge). Outside training which may be accepted includes FOA Certification or similar. No standardized academic test will be accepted for unit credit. The school may accept credit for directly relevant courses and/or employment history, which is equivalent to the chosen program training up to a maximum of one class module within the applicant's selected program area. Prospective students may appeal any decision in writing directly to the school director prior to enrollment. School costs will be 100% prorated for the module hours credited. Additionally, The American Trade Academy will factor in and account for previous class units attempted versus units completed to assure that successful completion may be achieved within 150% of scheduled class length. Any accepted credits will reduce the applicable hours required, and tuition would be prorated accordingly. Students who have begun their training and wish to transfer to another program must seek permission from the Director of Education. Students transferring to a completely new program will be dropped from the current program and enrolled into the new program as a new student under the current catalog and complete a new enrollment agreement. Students who were terminated or who voluntary withdrew from their program must submit a letter requesting approval to re -apply. The letter must clearly demonstrate that the condition(s) causing dismissal to have been corrected to afford ATA management a measure of confidence in the student's ability to succeed. Upon such approval, the applicant may apply for another enrollment and must follow all admissions policies and procedures, except for the entrance test. Entrance test scores are good for life, unless the student's previous scores do not meet revised minimum standards. Applicants approved to re-enter the program will be evaluated by the director of education or a designee for evaluation of retained skills. This evaluation will determine whether the student's level of retained skills and knowledge is sufficient to warrant excusing the student from repeating certain modules that s/he passed during a prior enrollment. The length of any allowable LOA will be based on the student's new re-entry schedule. If a student was terminated for not fulfilling his/her financial obligation to ATA, s/he must make arrangements to satisfy any outstanding balance to be considered for readmission. Students who are terminated or voluntarily withdraw a second time will not be eligible to reapply for 12 months from the date of determination of their second termination.
