STUDENTAPPEAL PROCEDURES A student who wishes to appeal decisions pertaining to satisfactory academic progress, credit for previous training, probation, suspension, termination, graduation requirements, attendance requirements, or any decision relating to matters pertaining to disciplinary action (other than disciplinary actions arising from matters covered under the Campus Sexual Misconduct Policies & Procedures) must write a letter to the School Appeals Committee, which must be received within 14 calendar days following receiptof the school's decision. The School Appeals Committee consists of the Campus President and any four of the following departments: Student Services, Financial Aid, Career Services, Education, and/or Administration. A student must provide written documentation to support his/her position and any mitigating circumstances. The student will be informed of the decision in writing within three school days following the receipt of the appeal. Students who wish to appeal financial aid decisions should refer to the Financial Aid appeal process in the Catalog. Allegations of sexual misconduct shall be investigated and adjudicated in accordance with the Campus Sexual Misconduct Policies & Procedures. ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to participate in classes regularly. It is through consistent, uninterrupted participation a student can gain the knowledge and expertise necessary to be successful. Students should keep in mind that this is an occupational course and active participation is just as important at the institution as it will be in the employment for which this course is preparing them. All students must make up absences that occur during the externship or clinical internship component of the training program to ensure that all required extern hours are completed prior to graduation. If a module(s) is repeated, the attendance from the originalmodule(s) will be replaced with the attendance from the repeated module for purposes of meeting attendance percentage requirements for graduation. If a student has been officially dropped by the school, and is permitted to re-enter the program, the time elapsed between the last date of attendance and re-entry date is not included in the calculation of the student's maximum program completion time or attendance percentage. Students must actively participate in a minimum of 80% of the total program in order to graduate. Students may contact the student success partner to review their progress in meeting the standards for attendance. Under no circumstances is a student permitted to continue training if it is determined that the documented attendance probation stipulations have been violated. Veteran students will have their benefits discontinued if attendance requirements are not met. ONLINE STUDENTS Regular and substantive active participation online is required to achieve the minimum 80% attendance standard for graduation. A student attends online courses by participating actively in classes or otherwise engaging in "academically related activities". Examples of "academic engagement" include such activities that demonstrate "regular and substantive interaction" include but are not limited to: • Attending a synchronous class, lecture, recitation, or field or laboratory activity, physically or online, where there is an opportunity for interaction between the instructor and students. • Submitting an academic assignment. • Taking an assessment or an exam. • Participating in an interactive tutorial, webinar, or other interactive computer -assisted instruction • Participating in a study group, group project, or an online discussion that is assigned by the Institution. • Interacting with an instructor about academic matters. Students should be sure to meet online deadlines for submitting their work as late work will not receive full credit. Note: Logging Into class without active participation as defined above does not constitute participation, and therefore there is no attendance credit. In tercoastcdleges schooi Catalog 28 1 Page
