Satisfactory Progress
A student must maintain a “C”, 77%, or higher in each course. If at any time the student’s
average is less than a “C”, 77%, Academic Probation status will be assigned. A student who does
not obtain the required grades during a probationary period can choose to remediate or withdraw.
If a student cannot comply with the agreed upon remediation terms then the student may be
Administratively Withdrawn. A maximum of 2 courses for the school year are allowed to
remediate.

Attendance
A student is expected to attend all scheduled classes and clinical rotations. An absence is excused
if the time is available to the student and the Program Director is notified prior to scheduled time
for class or clinicals. Students must contact the Program Director and the Clinical Coordinator
(when scheduled for clinical) as soon as possible when he/she cannot be in attendance as
scheduled. If notification of an absence is after the scheduled time to be in attendance then the
student receives and unexcused absence and will receive written warnings as such.

Absence is defined as not being present after one (1) clock hour of the scheduled classroom or
clinical time or not present within the last (1) one clock hour of scheduled classroom or clinical

written warnings for absences over the 8 allowed and after 3 written warnings for absences can

one week be missed, the student is required to make up the week on days approved by the
Program Director. Acceptable times are at the end of the class year or during Christmas and/or
Spring Breaks. Students having make up time at the end of the year shall be allowed to go
through the commencement ceremony; however, graduation will not occur and the
diploma/certificate will be withheld along with the registry graduation verification until all
absent time has been made up.

Tardy is defined as not being present up to one (1) clock hour of a scheduled class or clinical
day. Tardy is recorded if the student arrives in clinical or class after the scheduled time to be
present has passed. Three (3) or more documented cases of being tardy will be considered an
absence. Class assignments and exams that are missed are to be made up. It is the student’s
