Satisfactory Academic Progress Satisfactory academic progress is evaluated at least weekly throughout the program. The student is required to make quantitative progress toward program completion. To be making satisfactory academic progress, a student must attend at least 90% of the scheduled class hours on a cumulative basis. The student's academic average is reviewed to determine qualitative progress. The minimum required is 80% at the conclusion of each evaluation period for the safety assessments and 70% for the technical assessments. Incomplete grades are not given, and students must repeat any assessment in which they earn less than an 80% average or 70% average accordingly. Work repeated may adversely affect a student's academic progress in terms of the maximum time frame. Students who withdraw from the program will receive a grade of 0% in each class interrupted by the withdrawal. All interrupted classes must be repeated upon readmission to ARI. Probation Students who are making unsatisfactory progress (less than 90% attendance and/or less than 80% or 70% accordingly on weekly assessments) will be contacted by the Training Supervisor to offer support and assistance along with being placed on academic probation at that time. Students will be notified in writing when they are placed on probation and the steps necessary to be removed from probationary status. This can include retaking an assessment within one week of the failure or demonstrating sustained academic progress toward program completion. These discussions will be documented via a Student Progress Report. If after receiving additional support, the student continues to not be successful with the initial retake of the exam or practical evaluation, an additional conference will be held between the Training Supervisor and the Student to evaluate the student's continuance in the program and to determine the best course of action, Students will be allowed two attempts to retake any assessment required. If unsuccessful after a total of two retakes, the student will be notified of termination verbally and in writing. In the case of a termination due to unsatisfactory academic progress and the student notifies ARI that they wish to re -enroll (which must be in writing), the student will be placed on a waiting list and re -enrolled in another administration of the same course, as space is available. Re -enrollment or re-entrance will be approved only after evidence is shown to the Vice President of Operations satisfaction that conditions that caused the interruption for unsatisfactory progress have been rectified. Upon return, the student will be placed on an academic plan. Appeal Process The student may submit a written appeal of his/her termination within five calendar days of their receipt of the dismissal notice. The appeal should be addressed to the Vice President of Operations, The appeal must be accompanied by documentation of the mitigating circumstances that have prevented the student from attaining satisfactory academic or attendance progress. Only extraordinary circumstances will be considered, such as death or severe illness in the immediate family, Airstreams will assess all appeals and determine whether the student may be permitted to continue in school on a probationary status, despite not meeting the satisfactory progress requirements. The student will be sent the written decision within ten days of ARI's receipt of the appeal. The decision of the Vice President of Operations is final. Students reinstated upon appeal are on a probationary status with a written academic plan for the next evaluation period, during which time they must meet the terms and conditions set out in the letter granting Document: TRN-SCHOOLCATALOGTEH2O22-2023-1.4 25 IRSMEAM5 Revision: 1.4 Release Date: June 14, 2023 All Rights Reserved
