Students are expected to attend class regularly.  Classes begin promptly as scheduled, and students are expected to be in their assigned classrooms before the scheduled start of classes.

For purposes of monitoring satisfactory student attendance, Electrical Training Center will not attempt to distinguish between excused and unexcused absences.  Regardless of the reason for the absences, a student must be present for a substantial amount of class time to successfully complete, programs, courses, and seminars.  Attendance is recorded every hour.  Students must attend 85% of class clock hours to receive a grade for that class. Students enrolled in programs 450 hours or more that are divided into modules must attend 15% of clock hours per module. Any student who is absent more than 15% of the scheduled class hours will receive a WF for that class and must retake the class at their own expense. Lateness and early departures are recorded as such; students who are late or leave early will lose 15 minutes of an hour rounded up to the higher quarter hour.  Consistent lateness or early departures could potentially put the student at risk of not meeting the attendance requirement of 85%. Due to OSHA regulations, for the 10hr. OSHA Outreach Training For Construction Elec. or the 30hr. OSHA Outreach Training for Construction Ind. Students must not miss any more than 15 minutes of the entire 10 hours or will lose credit for the entire class. This is due to OSHA regulations.

Students who are absent and do not notify the school will be contacted by Registrar on the day of their absence regarding their absence.  Students enrolled in programs more than 150 hours in length who are absent 14 consecutive calendar days will be determined to have unofficially withdrawn from school on the 15th day and will be terminated.  Students enrolled in courses less than 150 hours in length who are consecutively absent more than 15% of scheduled class hours will be determined to have unofficially withdrawn from school on the next scheduled class date after the consecutive 15% absenteeism of scheduled class hours is determined and will be terminated.  Students who are terminated due to consecutive absences may appeal in writing to the Assistant Director for reinstatement in Electrical and HVAC/R Training Center. If the appeal for reinstatement is approved, the student will enter Electrical and HVAC/R Training Center on a probationary status and will be subject to the same requirements of any other student on probation. See appeal process in school catalog

Electrical and HVAC/R Training Center reserves the right to dismiss any student for the following reasons:
•    Attendance does not meet school requirements;
•    Academic progress does not meet school standards;

•    the use of intoxicating liquor or illegal drugs,
•    stealing and /or malicious destruction of school or student property

Students will be tested in all phases of their program of study.  A permanent record of each student’s work is maintained and will be used to determine the student’s eligibility for graduation.  See Qualitative Measure of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) – (All Students) for grading system
