MAKE UP WORK Students will be required to makeup all assignments, exams, or other work missed as the result of any absence. The student must make arrangements with the instructor to ensure that all work is made-up before the end of the module in which the work was missed. The instructor may assign additional outside make-up work if deemed appropriate. Arrangements to take a missed exam are made with the instructor on an individual basis. BREAKS Every one hundred (100) minutes of training will be followed by a twenty (20) minute break. The break schedule is posted on the student bulletin board. CHANGE OF PROGRAM All requests must be made before the end of the second week of training to be considered. A student must attend all classes in which originally enrolled until the requested change of program is officially authorized by the Director. ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to attend classes the same as they would be expected to be present for work. All absences and tardiness will be recorded in the student's file. Any absence within the Day traditional module will result in an automatic lowering of the grade by 2.5 points for each full day absent, 1.25 points for a half day absent and .25 points for a tardy or leave early. Any absence within the Evening traditional module will result in an automatic lowering of the grade by 1.2 points for a full day absent, .6 points for a half day absent and .12 for a tardy or leave early. Any absence within the blended module will result in an automatic lowering of the grade by 1.7 points for each full day absent, .85 points for a half day absent and .17 for a tardy or leave early .

Attendance is based on the total number of hours instructed versus the number of hours a student has attended. Absenteeism can result in a mandatory repeat of the module. This includes, days missed, tardiness and portions of days missed. When a student accrues a total of more than 5 days missed within a day traditional module or 7 days missed within an evening traditional module or 3 days missed within a blended module, the student will be required to repeat that module. Failure to attend class for 15 consecutive scheduled class days will result in immediate termination. A student will be placed on probation if his/her attendance drops below 90%. Failure to satisfactorily complete attendance probation may result in termination. TARDINESS Tardiness is a disruption of a good learning environment and is strongly discouraged.
