Attendance and Method of Delivery
1. The program is a residential-blended program of study.
2. Student’s attendance in online courses is based on opening, viewing, and completing each
assignment/quiz/exam posted each week. In addition, the instructor will post objectives and outlines
that can be printed for study purposes as well as power point presentations and videos for the
student’s use.
3. The school’s values of service, honesty, respect, stewardship and performance are demonstrated
through good attendance. Students are expected to utilize the online materials made available by the
school. Student’s time in the online platform is monitored to evaluate the student’s use of posted
material.
4. Students will have discussion assignments throughout each course. Failure to meet the participation
expectations of the discussion assignment - in full - will be an absence and can affect the student’s
grade.
5. Failure to participate in a graded assignment, i.e. discussion assignment or exam, will result in an
absence.
6. Students are allowed one absence per course with a maximum of eight absences for the school year.
Some of the courses are shorter than others and failure to complete the discussion assignments will
result in a loss of points for the class and possibly loss of a letter grade.

that the time spent with the material and the discussion assignments is crucial to the student’s success.
For this reason, time and participation is monitored for all students’ attendance.

One or more of the above activities may be required each week and some course requirements may
