HYBRID STUDENTS Students enrolled in a Hybrid Learning Schedule must adhere to the Online Student Attendance Policy when completing the online sessions of their coursework. A student attends online courses by participating actively in classes or otherwise engaging in academically related activities. The student must also adhere to the On -Campus attendance policy when attending lab sessions at the campus. Student attendance is recorded during the on -ground portion of the program. Any tardy or leave early of more than 15 minutes on campus lab day(s) may result in a loss of professionalism points. Attendance is monitored for campus lab each day that lab is scheduled in the program for that student. Students who missed a scheduled lab session may make-up the session within the same week. Students with an excused absence who miss an on -campus session are permitted to make-up the lab session within the same module. If a holiday falls on a scheduled campus lab day within the program of study, students will be required to attend additional hours in the week in which there is a holiday in order to fulfill the total scheduled hours for that week. ATTENDANCE PROBATION Students that fail to maintain a minimum of 80% attendance will be placed on attendance probation for one module or term, to provide an opportunity to achieve satisfactory attendance progress. Student progress toward achieving 80% is monitored closely during the probationary period. If satisfactory attendance progress is not achieved at the conclusion of the probationary period, the student may be terminated. A decision can be made by the Campus President at the end of the attendance probationary period to extend the probationary period if it is determined that the student, with improved attendance, has the ability to achieve the 80% attendance requirement. If at any time during the probation extension it is determined the student will not achieve the 80% attendance requirement (ie: student's absences are so excessive), or, if the institution believes that the student's attendance and academic progress does not indicate that successful completion can occur, the student may be terminated from the program. TARDINESS / EARLY DEPARTURE POLICY Students are expected to be on time for each on campus session of instruction and are expected to attend for the entire session of class. A student is considered tardy for class if he/she arrives later than 15 minutes after the scheduled start of class or if they leave early from class. "Tardy" definition: Student arrives more than 15 minutes late to class on campus. "Leave Early" definition: Student leaves class or lab more than 15 minutes before the end of the class or lab on campus. Consequences of Tardy or Leave Early: Students will lose professionalism points in accordance with the published rubric. Students will be responsible for any course content missed by showing up tardy or leaving early. ABSENTEEISM POLICY If, for any reason, a student must be absent from class, the student must contact the instructor immediately. Repeated absences may result in disciplinary action, just as it may on a job. Excessive absences may also lead to program interruption and/or dismissal. To meet graduation requirements, a student must achieve, at a minimum, 80% cumulative attendance reliability standards, and failure to achieve the attendance standard will result in the student being placed on attendance probation, as outlined under the section titled "Attendance Policy" in this catalog. Students absent or not actively participating online for more than 14 calendar days will be dropped. Termination can occur earlier if the school determines the student has exceeded the allowable number of absences, does not show that he/she is benefiting from the program, as initiated by the student, or as required by regulation. 291 Pee, lnn>rt oa,[ Collegc> Schwa!
