INSTITUTE POLICIES Attendance Attendance records are kept for each class. Students must maintain a 90% attendance record. Lack of attendance is grounds for dismissal from a program. In the event that a student falls below 90%, the Director of Education has the right to assess what portion of the class was missed and determine the appropriate options for making up that time. Remedies for tardiness may include additional Directed Studies and/or requiring the student to schedule private review time with the course instructor. Students have 60 days to schedule make up time. Time with an instructor is subject to the re-take fee of $50.00. In the case of additional directed studies, the Director of Education's assignment determination will be issued in writing. Students have sixty (60) days from the date of issue to comply. Students who fall below 70% for a class will automatically be required to retake the class the next time it is offered. (re-take fee of $50.00 applies.) Students who fall below 70% for three (3) classes will be dismissed from the program and shall not be entitled to any tuition re-imbursement.
Emergencies
Students who are unable to attend a scheduled class or
need to leave during a class due to an emergency, will need to contact the
administration office to notify them of the missed class time. Excused absences
will be considered on an individual basis.
Directed Study (homework) Due Date The majority of the classes credited toward a diploma will have a Directed Study assignment. The homework assignment due date is typically 30 days after the completion of the class, unless otherwise specified. Homework must be submitted in hard copy form. (No electronic submissions such as e-mails, faxes, etc.) The completed assignment needs to be physically remitted or mailed with a postmark date no later than the due date. Should a student fail to complete the homework on time, they may purchase one 30-day extension for that assignment. Extensions are $50.00 per extension and there will be a 50% reduction in the proficiency rating for failing to complete the assignment on time. Failure to properly submit the completed assignment by the end of the 30 day extension will result in a proficiency rating of a 3 or less, depending upon other factors related that class such as written test score, attendance, etc. An overall performance rating of 4 or greater is required for a student to remain in the program and qualify for their diploma. Students who fall below a rating or 4 will be dismissed from the program and shall not be entitled to any tuition re-imbursement.
Student Conduct In order to preserve a harmonious learning environment, we have the following conduct policies:
Grading All written test scores are calculated using a percentage grading system (the number of correctly answered questions divided by the number of questions on the test). 81% or higher is required for passing. Practical Testing is graded according to a checklist of areas to be performed or covered by the student. The student must be able to explain and/or perform, to the satisfaction of the examiner, at least 81% of the items on the checklist. Student may be provided with a copy of the checklist to study for these exams upon request. Oral exams may consist of any of the areas covered in the courses for which the student participating. The examiner will ask questions and the student will answer to the best of his/her ability. The student must score at least a 81% in each of these areas in order to pass. Directed studies are also part of the grading process. They must be compete and submitted on time for full credit. (See policy regarding Directed Studies.) Proficiency Assessments and Final transcripts will utilize the following overall assessment ranking:
Notification of Grades Students receive regular progress reports. Final grades are available one week following the student's completion of all testing/exams, internship/practical hours, and timely submission of all directed studies.
In Cases of Non-Passing Grades If the non-passing grade is for an Individual Class (Non-Diploma Course student), there is a $50.00 retesting fee. The retest must be taken within 30 days of the class. In the case of a Final Exam, students shall retest within 90 days. Only one retest is allowed for both Diploma Program classes and Non-Diploma courses. If the student does not pass the retest, they must take the class again. The retake fee of $50.00 applies. If the re-test is for Final Examination, and the student fails to pass the retest, the student will be dismissed from the program and shall not have achieved the requirements for their diploma. Program students who fall below an average rating of 4 (81% on testing, 90% attendance and 81% on directed studies) will be issued a warning letter with options for correcting the problem such as retaking a test, retaking the class, etc. Students who fail more than 50% of the classes and have utilized the retake option but are still unable to maintain a 4.0 rating will be dismissed from the program.
Requirements for Non Diploma Classes Tuition per individual class (for NON-DIPLOMA students only) is $300, which includes course manual (when applicable), but no books or supplies. A course manual will be provided, if appropriate. Payment is preferred at least 14 days prior to the class date. Enrollment is on a first-come basis and a seat is guaranteed only after we received payment. Participants will receive a Certificate of Achievement, provided they have 90% attendance, good participation in the class, and at least 81% on the final test.
Retakes Students may retake any class they have previously attended if they passed the test and the homework for that class has been completed. The retake fee is $50.00 per class.
