Attendance Policy
The University emphasizes the need for all students to attend classes on a regular and consistent basis in order to develop the skills and attitude necessary to compete in the highly competitive labor market. Since much of each program is conducted in a hands-on environment, attendance is critical to proper skill building. The specific requirements for attendance are:
- Student must maintain 70% attendance or above, to be considered maintaining satisfactory progress.
- If a student drops below 70% attendance, he/she will be put on attendance probation.
- If a student exceeds three probationary periods, he/she will be subject to termination from the program, at the discretion of the School Director.
- Students in the following programs are subject to different attendance requirements, as stated in program specific orientation packet. Paramedic, Vocational Nursing, EMT, CNA and ECT.
- Students who are dismissed due to poor attendance may be readmitted only at the discretion of the School Director, and no sooner than the beginning of the next grading period.
- Students may appeal to the School Director if they feel an error has been made in their attendance calculation.
