Students share the responsibility of developing and maintaining an academic and professionally conducive environment with the management and staff of this institution. It is expected that each student will respect and uphold the rights of all who are involved in the educational and administrative processes of this institution by adhering to the following practices and principles.
Student responsibilities include consistent attendance (no less than 90% of the course), conscientious effort within the classroom to promote an open exchange of information, and compliance with standard academic practices. Furthermore, students are advised of thier right to pursue their education in a setting free of harassment or discrimination, and are expected to apply the same values to the staff and their peers.
Student Responsibilties:
The training manager will track classroom attendance to the nearest quarter of the hour with continual monitoring of any departure during the session occurring. After an attendee earns four tardy/early departures, an hour will be deducted from the total attendance, with every tardy/early departure thereafter resulting in a loss of 15 minutes from the total time. Class time missed will be totaled at the completion of the course to determine if 90% of the course was fulfilled by the student. In the case of an emergency, if a student falls below the 90% attendance requirements, students may return to the next scheduled training to finish the segment of training missed or the decision to award a certificate of completion may be decided at the discretion of the President and/or training manager.
