LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY
A leave of absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student's program of study. It does not include non-attendance for an institutionally scheduled break in a student's program. A leave of absence must meet certain conditions to be counted as an LOA instead of being counted as a withdrawal. If a leave of absence does not meet the conditions, the student is considered withdrawn from the school, and the school will perform a return calculation((see Refund Policy). Conditions to qualify for a LOA are as follows: The institution may grant an LOA to a student who did not provide the request prior to the LOA due to unforeseen circumstances if: The institution establishes the start date of the approved LOA as the first date the student was unable to attend.
1. There must be a reasonable expectation that the student will return from the LOA;
2. A student returning from an LOA must resume training at the same point in the academic program and in the payment period or period of enrollment that she/he would have been in if she/he had not been on leave;
3. We will not assess the student any additional institutional charges as a result of the LOA;
4.The student must follow the schools policy in requesting the LOA. Student must apply in advance, in writing, including the reason for LOA and sign the request for an LOA unless unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from doing so, e.g.: if a student was injured in a car accident and needed a few weeks to recover before returning to institution. We may grant a LOA to a student who did not provide the request prior to the LOA due to unforeseen circumstances. We will document the reasons for decision to grant the LOA, will collect the documentation, and get proper signatures from the student at a later date;
5. We will approve a student's request for a LOA in accordance with the school's policy;
6. An LOA and any additional leaves may not exceed a total of 180 days in any 12 month period;
7. The school has the right to approve or disapprove the LOA request. we will extend the student's contract period by the same number of days taken in the LOA. Changes to the contract period on the enrollment agreement must be initialed by all parties or an addendum must be signed and dated by all parties. A student granted a leave of absence that meets the criteria in this section is not considered to have withdrawn, and no return calculation is required. However, if a student does not return by his/her scheduled return date of the LOA, the student will be dropped and a withdraw calculation will be performed using their last day of attendance. The student will be withdrawn if the student takes an unapproved LOA or does not return by the expiration of an approved LOA, and the student's withdrawal date for the purposes of calculating a refund will be the student's last date of attendance. Upon the student's return from the leave, she/he continues to earn In-House financing previously awarded for the period.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATIONS
The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better (the computer system will reflect completion of the practical assignment as a 100% rating). If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must maintain a written cumulative grade average of 70% prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:
Letter Grade
Range
Excellent
90-100
Above Average
80-89
Average
70-79
Below Satisfactory Progress
0-69
DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS STATUS
Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Students will receive a hard-copy of their Satisfactory Academic Progress Determination at the time of each of the evaluations. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress may have their Title IV Funding interrupted, unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of probation.
The School has not been approved for Title IV funding.
WARNING
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the warning period. The student will be advised in writing on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the warning period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she may be placed on probation if the student has prevailed upon an appeal and if applicable, students may be deemed ineligible to receive Title IV funds.
PROBATION
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period will be placed on probation and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the probationary period, if the student appeals the decision, and prevails upon appeal. Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. Students placed on an academic plan must be able to meet requirements set forth in the academic plan by the end of the next evaluation period. Students who are progressing according to their specific academic plan will be considered making Satisfactory Academic Progress. The student will be advised in writing on any potential impact on their financial aid eligibility and of the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the probationary period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements required for satisfactory academic progress or by the academic plan, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory academic progress and, if applicable, students will not be deemed eligible to receive Title IV funds.
