Satisfactory progress…

Satisfactory progress in academic performance and attendance is required to continue as a student in good standing.

Academic grading system

A+ = 95 to 100

A = 90 to 94

B+ = 85 to 89

B = 80 to 84

C+ = 75 to 79

C = 70 to 74

D = 65 to 69

F = below 65

Students are graded monthly according to the results of written and practical examinations. Practical evaluation takes into consideration performance and production. These grades are recorded on Progress Reports which are computed monthly.

To remain in good standing, a student must maintain at least a "70 percent" average and complete the course in the designated time frame. A student who falls below a "70 percent" average will have a conference with the school administrator before continuing the course.

Any student failing to maintain at least a "70 percent" average in the academic and practical segments is subject to probation. During probation the students performance will be monitored and additional academic assistance will be given in an effort to assist the student. To be removed from probation, the student must correct the deficiency which caused the probation and must do so before the next evaluation period.

Evaluations will be conducted at 250, 500, & 750 hours of scheduled attendance. Beyond 900 hours, evaluations will be conducted monthly. Failure to improve during a probationary period will subject the student to dismissal.
