Academic Progress Each student will be issued a Diploma upon completion of the course stating number of hours (480) completed, and School requirements met. Each student will be graded on: (1) Written Tests. (2) Grooming Ability and Progress and (3) Attitude. Each area of study will encompass one third of the grade and a 75% average grade per week for twelve weeks is required to graduate. Weekly tests will be given and continuous evaluation and counseling sessions will occur every four weeks, four weeks shall constitute a grading period. A written objection must be submitted to the instructor within one week of any disputed grades. Additional class time will be provided for any student (up to two weeks) who feels they need the extra time to improve their finishing skills. The failure to maintain a 75% average grade per week for any four weeks (a "grading period") will constitute grounds for termination of the student for lack of satisfactory academic progress. A student whose average grade per week for a grading period is less than 60% will be terminated at the end of the grading period. Any student terminated for lack of satisfactory academic progress may apply for readmission to the school no sooner than four weeks following termination, and must meet all the School's existing entrance requirements for re-admission. The minimum completion time for the course is three (3) months and the maximum is 3.5 months. Any student failing to complete the program in 3.5 months will be dismissed. Dismissal students must wait at least one grading period before re-applying for admission to the School. Students may appeal any decision on unsatisfactory academic progress to the Director. Grading: Each of the three areas, Written Tests, Grooming Performance, and Attitude, are graded individually and combined for total grade. 94 - 100% 88 - 93% 82 - 87% 75 - 81% F Less than 74% Attendance Policy Each student will be allowed 5 sick days, with a Doctor's excuse. Sick days must be made up. Students will be granted only one Leave of Absence (LOA) for their entire program of study. The student must request the LOA in writing in advance. During a LOA, the student will not be marked absent, as this is not scheduled time. Leaves of absence may be granted to the student for reasonable purposes acceptable to the School Director but may not exceed the lesser of 30 school days or 60 calendar days. The School shall maintain attendance records that show the dates for which the LOA was granted with a written statement signed by both the School Director and the student indicating why the LOA was granted. If the student fails to return from the LOA, the student will be automatically terminated on the first day immediately following the end of the LOA, and a refund shall be totally consummated within 60 days thereafter. The School shall maintain a master record of attendance for each student which clearly indicates the number of scheduled hours each day, and the hours of absence. A student must attend 12 weeks, five days per week or 480 hours. All students must attend Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The student is allowed a 30 minute lunch break If a student is unable to come to class, they must call in before 8:00 AM. An absence of 9 consecutive days (or 72 hours, which is 15% of the full term hours) without notification, will be considered cause for termination. Class begins promptly at 8:00 AM. Tardiness will be unacceptable behavior. Time will be calculated by the quarter hour and reflect on the 480 hours. Absence shall be charged for a full day when the student attends none of the scheduled classes on that day. A partial day of absence, measured in quarter hours, shall be charged for any period of absence during or at the end of the day. School Holidays shall not be considered as days of absence.
