Grading SAP Requirements and Probation In order to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress toward a certificate, a student must maintain specified cumulated grade point averages, average attendance, as well as proceed through the course at a pace leading to completion in a specified time frame, as stated above. SAP must be met for graduation. Students will be notified if they do not meet SAP. For purposes of determining satisfactory academic progress, each program is divided into grading periods (every 25%or quarter of the program) as stated above, and a cumulative grade is maintained. Students receive a letter grade based on a numeric grading system In both their theory and practical work. A minimum cumulative grade average of 70% (2.0) is required for graduation. At the mid -point or at the end of the program, students who do not achieve a 70% cumulative grade average at the end of each quarter grading period but have a score of 60% to 69%, will be placed on academic probation for the next half of the program which is the next formal grading period, If their cumulative grade average at the end of the probationary period is less than 70%, they will be terminated from their program of study. Attendance SAP Requirement and Probation: The student must maintain a cumulative attendance of 80%. If a student's attendance Is 70 to 79%for the mid -point or end of program formal grading period, they will be placed on attendance probation for the next half of their program. The probation can be cleared during the following half of their program by improving their cumulative attendance record during that period to 80%or above. If at the end of the probation period, the student's attendance Is 79% or lower It will result In termination of the student from the program of study. The maximum time frame for completion will be no longer than 150% of the published length of the program of study (e.g., a 600- hour program, maximum would be 900 hours). Periods during which the student has formally requested and received a leave of absence or has officially withdrawn from this Institution will not be considered In calculating the attendance rate or maximum time frame. Maximum time frame and projected completion dates are calculated at each quarter of each program. Students who withdraw from school will be evaluated on course work completed at the time of withdrawal. Students who wish to contest a determination that they are not making satisfactory academic progress, must submit a written appeal to the School Director, The letter should describe any circumstance that the student believes would deserve special consideration. The Director will evaluate the appeal and Inform the student of their decision In writing.
