Attendance activity from the repeated module will replace the attendance activity from the failed module upon successful completion of the repeated module. Calculation of the 25% absence includes time marked as "tardy" or "leaving early" as well as full days of absence. Exceptions to the 25% maximum absence rate may be considered only for extenuating circumstances and are subject to review and approval by the Corporate Education department. "Extenuating circumstances" must be supported by verifiable documentation and are defined as the following: a) Death of an Immediate family member b) Medical emergency of the student or an Immediate family member c) Military assignment d) Unexpected and severe life or financial conditions which required a brief period of adjustment (e.g., loss of housing, loss of job, etc.) Students who have failed a module due to attendance must be advised. Advisements must clearly outline consequences of failing to meet minimum cumulative attendance requirements, including repeating a module, delaying externship, and/or delaying graduation, and include an action plan and timeline for attendance remediation. Cumulative Attendance Progress (ACCET- Accredited Schools Only) A student is required to achieve a minimum cumulative attendance of 80% by the midpoint of the program.

Tardies and leaving early are counted against student attendance. All Schools: Repeated modules are counted as attempted modules in assessment of program completion within maximum 150% program length. Attendance percent from the successfully completed repeated module will replace the original attendance percentage. The GPA and academic record will reflect the highest passing grade earned between the two modules.
