Secon 1 School Overview


1.1Mission The Pickaway-Ross Career and Technology Center delivers unique and progressive academic and career educaonal opportunies that empower individuals to achieve their goals.

1.2Vision Pickaway-Ross Career and Technology Center is an innovave, professional, educaonal community delivering quality services.

1.3Philosophy The employment demands of our modern technological society and the needs and interests of adults demand educaonal programs designed to prepare persons for producve cizenship in the world of work. Adults must be prepared to accept changes and challenges in their chosen vocaons and to possess the necessary skills to adapt to new requirements and demands of their vocaonal endeavor throughout life. The Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center assumes the responsibility of preparing adults in the area of skill training. It also provides the opportunity for adults who are already employed to advance in their chosen vocation and retrain those who are temporarily unemployed. Since its inception, the Center has striven to meet the diverse needs of its citizenry. The Center endorses the tenants of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and PL-94-482, Section 503. Programs and services are available without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. The Center is mindful of the fact that for millions of Americans, entry into vocational schools can make the difference between well-paying jobs or the unemployment lines. Therefore, the Center will strive continuously to extend opportunities to those it serves on a non-discriminatory basis. We proudly join ranks with the many fine educational institutions in Pickaway and Ross counties in full cooperation to provide a truly comprehensive educational program for adults of the area.

1.4Objectives The general objecves of the Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center are as follows:

• To provide acvies that will enable adults to become competent and employable in an occupaonal skill.

• To help adults in their a>empts to become increasingly successful persons economically, socially, and personally.

• To provide an educaonal se?ng that a>ests to the belief in the worth of every individual and a>aches dignity to all socially useful labor.

1.5History The Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center opened in September 1974 with programs in Business Educaon, Trade and Industry, Agriculture, and Home Economics. The major emphasis in 1974 was secondary training with short-term evening classes for adults.

4.1AdmissionRequirements The Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center maintains an “open admission” policy which states that any person with a high school diploma or GED, valid picture ID, and successful compleon of pre-entrance tesng, may enroll in career development and career enhancement adult educaon programs. Upon payment of the required fees, students will be admi>ed on a first come, first serve basis and the student tesng indicates probable success in the program. Some individual programs have addional entrance requirements. The Adult Director will make the final decision in the admission of all students. Applicants without a high school diploma or GED test cerficate are encouraged to parcipate in ABLE and/or GED test preparaon or high school credit program. Upon successful compleon of the GED test cerficaon, applicants are encouraged to re-apply in full-me programs.

If the high school is on that list it will be judged as unacceptable. If it is not on that list but the instuon sll quesons the validity of the high school credenal we will ask for a transcript from the high school showing classes completed and passed. If we are sll not sasfied as to the validity of the credenal, we may contact the Department of Educaon in the state in which the school is located to ascertain if the high school is approved by the state. If the student graduated from a high school out of the country we will determine whether the educaon is the equivalent of a high school educaon in the United States.

5.4CodeofConductforFinancialAidProfessionals

PRCTC’s financial aid professionals are expected to maintain exemplary standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out their responsibilities, specifically including all dealings with any entities involved in any manner in student financial aid, regardless of whether such entities are involved in a government sponsored, subsidized, or regulated activity. In doing so, PRCTC’s financial aid professionals should:

1. Refrain from taking any action for his or her personal benefit.

2. Refrain from taking any action he or she believes is contrary to law, regulation, or the best interests of the students and parents he or she serves.

3. Ensure that the information he or she provides is accurate, unbiased, and does not reflect any preference arising from actual or potential personal gain.

4. Be objective in making decisions and advising his or her institution regarding relationships with any entity involved in any aspect of student financial aid.

5. Refrain from soliciting or accepting anything of other than nominal value from any entity (other than an institution of higher education or a governmental entity such as the U.S. Department of Education) involved in the making, holding, consolidating or processing of any student loans, including anything of value (including reimbursement of expenses) for serving on an advisory body or as part of a training activity of or sponsored by any such entity.

6. Disclose to his or her institution, in such manner as his or her institution may prescribe, any involvement with or interest in any entity involved in any aspect of student financial aid.

*Adapted from National Association of Financial Aid Administrator’s (NASFAA) Professional Code of Conduct.

5.5CostofAttendance/CourseFees Course fees are set to cover operating expenses. Course fees should be paid before the beginning of the first class session. Many employers and agencies will pay tuition for students who are attempting to enhance their skills for their job. Please check with your employer to see if this option is available at your workplace. The Adult Education Office will direct bill your organization for your tuition if authorized by your employer.

In special circumstances, a payment schedule may be set up with the Adult Education Director. These arrangements need to be set up prior to the beginning of class. Please call the Financial Aid Office during the day to set up this payment arrangement. Certificates of completion will be held until all fees are paid.

Before applying for financial aid, students and parents should assess all of the costs of attending PRCTC. The Financial Aid Office establishes standard budgets, which reflect average costs for students during a typical period of enrollment. Actual expenses vary among students depending on life styles, priorities and obligations. To assist applicants in determining their need to meet all costs of education, direct and indirect, a schedule of tuition and


fee costs has been provided below. Indirect Costs include personal expenses, room/board, transportation, child care and loan fees.

*Some tuition/fees may be estimated and could be subject to change.

5.6DefaultManagementPlan The purpose of the Default Prevenon and Management Plan is to promote student and school success by increasing retenon and reducing delinquency and default. PRCTC will benefit by avoiding any limitaons on parcipaon in the loan programs due to excessive cohort default rates (CDRs). Students benefit by having connued access to Title IV Student Financial Assistance Programs, learning good debt management pracces, and establishing a healthy credit history. PRCTC is acvely commi>ed to promong student success by helping students learn, graduate, obtain employment, and demonstrate financial responsibility through repayment of the funds borrowed to finance their educaon.

Consequences of Default for Borrowers Borrowers who default on student loans face serious consequences. Stafford Loans are considered in default aRer 270 days without payment. At the me of default, outstanding interest is capitalized and collecon fees may be added, resulng in a loan balance that is higher than the amount borrowed. Defaulted loans are reported to credit bureaus, causing borrowers to sustain long-term damage to their credit rang. Defaulters may also face difficulty in securing mortgages or car loans, may have their wages garnished, and their federal income tax refunds and other federal payments seized. Unl the default is resolved, collecon efforts connue and the defaulter will be ineligible for addional federal student aid.

Consequences of Default for Schools Instuons may face serious consequences due to high cohort default rates which include the loss of parcipaon in the Direct Loan and/or Pell Grant programs. It is an objecve of the PRCTC Financial Aid Office to reduce defaults, promote student and school success, help preserve the integrity of the loan programs, and reduce costs to taxpayers. The following strategies are used to manage PRCTC’s cohort default rate and promote responsible student borrowing:

• Awarding aid based on PRCTC’s established student cost of a>endance and annual federal loan limits. • The PRCTC Financial Aid Office will offer loan counseling and provide financial literacy resources to

borrowers throughout their a>endance at the college – from enrollment, throughout a>endance, and up to graduaon or withdrawal.

• The PRCTC Financial Aid Office monitors both entrance and exit counseling informaon to ensure that the required forms are completed by every student who has had a loan cerfied by PRCTC.

• The PRCTC Financial Aid Office will conduct a periodic review of defaulters to discern who is defaulng and why. A review of data can assist in determining common characteriscs among defaulters. Causes for


defaults may include: absent or incomplete internal procedures, pracces, and communicaon, parcular programs and course requirements or structure, and ineffecve counseling.

• In order to maintain eligibility for financial aid, students must be making progress toward a cerficate. • Students who were on financial aid or academic removal and subsequently reinstated via the appeal

process may have loans reduced or eliminated unl sasfactory academic progress is reestablished. • Excepons may be approved by the Director of Adult Educaon and Financial Aid Office.

5.7DependencyOverridePolicy

A Dependency Override may be granted for a student who has an unusual circumstance, which is beyond his/her control. A Dependency Override is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, not for a group of students with similar circumstances. It is not unusual for a student between the ages of 18 and 24 to move away from his/her parents and have a full-time job. This is a life choice and does not qualify for a Dependency Override. To receive a Dependency Override the student must make a written request to the Financial Aid Office and be able to provide necessary documentation. The Financial Aid Office will determine what type of documentation is appropriate for the situation.

5.8DependencyStatus Some students have supported themselves for several years and their parents are not expected to contribute toward their school expenses. Such students are called ―Independent Students and for them, the financial aid process works differently because parental income is not considered. However, if an independent student is married, his or her spouse‘s income is considered even if they were not married when they filed taxes.

You are considered Independent if you meet any one of the following criteria:

• You have reached the age of 24 prior to January 1st of the upcoming award year. • You are enrolled in a graduate or professional educational program beyond a Bachelor‘s Degree. • You are married as of the date you submitted the FAFSA. • You have children who receive more than half of their support from you.

NOTE: Having a child does not automatically make you independent. You must be providing over 50% of the child’s support.

• You have dependents (other than your children or spouse) that live with you and receive more than half of their support from you, now and through the end of the award year.

• Both parents are deceased or you are an orphan or Ward of the Court (or were a Ward of the Court until age 18).

• You are currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces (other than training). • You are a Veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. • You are an emancipated minor. • You are an unaccompanied youth who is homeless or in danger of being homeless.

If you do not meet any of the above criteria, then you are considered a ―Dependent Student and your parents must complete part of the FAFSA and provide their financial information.


In some instances you may apply to receive what is called a Dependency Override. Only the Financial Aid Office can make that decision and circumstances must be in line with Pickaway Ross Career and Technology Center’s Override Policy.

5.9DeterminingEligibility

Financial assistance is awarded to bridge the gap or to supplement the amount that you and your family are reasonably able to contribute toward your educational expenses. A Federally approved system of need analysis is used to calculate your Pell Grant award. In order to perform this evaluation, it is necessary for you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid with information concerning your family‘s financial strength such as income and assets, size of family, number in college, and any unusual circumstances or expenses which you face.

The Concept of “Needs Analysis” Needs Analysis is based on a simple formula of the cost of the student’s education minus the family contribution determined by the FAFSA. The end product is what the student is eligible for in financial assistance. Below is a detailed breakdown:

*Cost of Attendance: (Tuition, fees, transportation, personal, etc.)

*Family Contribution: (What you and your family are able to contribute toward your educational costs) *Financial Need: (Grant or other resources you can receive)

*Cost of Attendance varies by program. For all Title IV Programs (Pell Grant and Loan) a student enrolled at PRCTC must:

• Have financial need, except for some loan programs.

• Be enrolled in a program that is at least 600 clock hours and 15 weeks in length.

• Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards set by the school.

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.

• Register with the Selective Service if you are a male who is at least 18 and born after 12/31/59.

Cost of Attendance

Family Contribution

Financial Need


• Not be incarcerated in a federal or state penal institution.

• Have a high school diploma or G.E.D.

• Have a valid Social Security Number

• Sign a statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) certifying that you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes.

• Sign a statement on the FAFSA certifying that you are not in default on a federal student loan and that you do not owe money back on a federal student grant.

• Not have been convicted under federal or state law of the sale of or possession of drugs. (You may still be eligible depending on the number of offenses and when they happened.)

• Must provide information in order for school to obtain financial aid history.

• May not have property that is subject to a judgment lien for a debt owed to the United States Government.

5.10Disbursements All financial aid funds are disbursed by the Treasurer’s Office in conjuncon with Financial Aid Office. The first disbursement is made aRer the program begins and the second disbursement is made during the next payment period. The number of payment periods is based upon the number of hours in the program. Below are examples of disbursement schedules. LPN- 1270 hours: three payment periods (450, 450, 370) Full-Time Classes- 900 hours: two payment periods (450, 450) Three-Quarter Time Classes- 600 hours: two payment periods (300, 300) *NOTE: Disbursements are made within the first 60 days of class for full and three-quarter me classes or the first 90 days for LPN programs. Part-me (evening and weekend classes) will be adjusted according to the class schedule so that disbursements fit within the unique payment periods. 1. Upon enrolling into the program, the student will receive informaon from the Financial Aid Office regarding how to apply for financial aid and what documents may be needed to complete the student’s paperwork.

2. At the me of disbursement, Direct Loans will send a student noficaon indicang the amount of aid issued and the date it was received.

3. PRCTC will credit student’s account for the amount of each disbursement once the school receives the funds. All excess funds will be issued in check form to the students according the scheduled date on the student Award Le>er.

5.11FamilyEducationRights&PrivacyAct(FERPA) As defined by the Federal Department of Education http://www.ed,gov/pol icy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html


The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student‘s education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children‘s education records. These rights transfer to the student, or former student, who has reached the age of 18 or is attending any school beyond the high school level. Students and former students to whom the rights have transferred are called eligible students.

• Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review all of the student‘s education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of materials in education records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to inspect the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

• Parents and eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record commenting on the contested information in the record.

• Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student before releasing any information from a student‘s record. However, the law allows schools to disclose records, without consent, to the following parties:

• School employees who have a need to know.

• Other schools to which a student is transferring.

• Certain government officials in order to carry out lawful functions.

• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student.

• Organizations conducting certain studies for the school.

• Accrediting organizations.

• Individuals who have obtained court order or subpoenas.

• Persons who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies; and state and local authorities within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law.

Schools may also disclose, without consent, directory type information such as student‘s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school. Note: The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) amends FERPA to include additional exceptions to the rules of releasing information without student/parent consent.

Rate=79.80 %

5.13Graduation/CompletionRate The following information is being disclosed as required by the Student Right-to-Know Act. The information reflects the first-time, full-time students, who completed/graduated within 150% of the normal time allowed for their program. This information is for reporting purposes only and may not accurately represent total enrollment of our school.

Rate=91.00 % 5.14ReturnofTitleIVFunds Return of Federal Financial Aid Policy Pickaway Ross Career & Technology Center students who receive federal financial aid and do not complete their classes could be responsible to repay a portion of the aid received according to federal law. The following information will help you understand what could happen if you withdraw from or stop attending classes before the end of the program for which you are receiving federal financial aid. What is the law Federal law requires schools to calculate how much federal financial aid (Title IV Funds) a student has earned if he/she withdrawals or stops attending before completing the class within 45 days of the original drop. Federal financial aid covered under this regulation includes Federal Pell Grants and Federal Direct Loans. PRCTC will return funds or make a post-withdrawal disbursement within 45 days of a student’s departure from a program. Who is affected by this regulation This regulation applies to students who receive federal financial aid AND who withdraw or stop attending classes prior to the 60% completion point of a class (hours vary by class 600, 900, or 1270 hours) or of a specific payment period(300 or 450) and is based on scheduled hours . Example: A student that completes 272 hours in a payment period of 450 would have earned all of their financial aid for that period (it is over 60% completion). Example: A student that completes 152 hours in a payment period of 300 would have not earned all their aid and the school would be required to complete an R2T4 worksheet to determine the amount of aid that has to be returned.


How do I earn my financial aid Students who receive federal financial aid must earn the aid they receive by staying enrolled in classes. The amount of federal financial aid earned is proportionate to the number of hours the student remains enrolled. Unearned financial aid must be returned to the federal government. Recipients of federal financial aid will be required to repay a portion of aid received if they withdraw from, or stop attending class prior to 60% completion of the payment period. The calculation for the return of these funds can result in the student owing money to the school. Calculations & Post Withdrawal Disbursements PRCTC will use the official withdraw date (see Withdrawal Policy) to complete the R2T4 calculations to determine whether funds need to be disbursed or returned. In most cases, only refunds will be completed however; in the event that funds are not drawn in before a student drops and aid is earned a post withdrawal disbursement will have to be completed. The post withdrawal disbursement will be based on the R2T4 worksheet and in accordance with federal law. PRCTC will notify the student in writing of any case where a post withdrawal disbursement is needed. If a student is receiving only pell grant funds in the post withdrawal disbursement PRCTC will automatically draw in funds on behalf of the student within 30 days of the determination. If loan funds can be part of the post withdrawal PRCTC will need student’s consent in writing to do so. PRCTC will require that the student respond in writing to the notification sent giving consent or rejecting the disbursement. The notification will include borrower rights, all aid that is eligible to be disbursed, amount owed to PRCTC, and amount student will have to pay if disbursement it rejected. Return of Funds Order of Return Funds will be returned in the following order: Unsubsidized Direct Student Loans Subsidized Direct Student Loans Federal Pell Grant

Official SAP will be once annually. However, in order to best serve the students attendance will be checked monthly and notices will be sent out to students who are falling behind. This is to help with student retention and overall student success in their programs. In order to continue to receive financial aid students must maintain satisfactory progress, according to the following standards:

Qualitative

• Student must maintain a cumulative grade of Average or above • Students must be working toward completion on a specific program.

Quantitative

• Student must complete within 150% of the normal length of the program to remain on aid. • Student must maintain a cumulative 90% attendance percentage.

*Note: Periods in which a student does not receive aid will be counted toward the maximum time frame of 150% allowed to complete a program. Special Grading Circumstances Remedial Courses

• PRCTC does not grant credit for remedial courses.

Transfer Coursework • PRCTC will review requests for credit for previous learning and transfer of hours on a case by case basis.

See Section 7.14 – Credit for Previous Learning/Transfer of Hours Policy

Repetition


• When a course is repeated the new grade replaces the old grade. The hours in both courses are counted in the time frame and for attendance percentage.

• Students that repeat coursework will be allowed to receive financial aid for one repeat and must meet all SAP requirements to be eligible. Any coursework that was part of the program that was passed before but repeated to improve grades or as a refresher will not be eligible for financial aid for that portion.

Second Certificate

• In some cases students will choose to enroll in a second program at PRCTC. Most of PRCTC’s program general requirements are transferable from program to program (trades and medical general requirements are different and do not transfer from one to another. Student must be staying in a specific area of either medical or trade professions for previous coursework to be considered). Students will be allowed to receive aid for the second program as long as they successfully completed the previous program and they are working toward a specific profession that warrants a second certificate. All second certificate students must be approved by the Adult Director and be in good standing (having no financial holds).

Change in Program

• PRCTC does allow students to change their program of study once enrolled in a program. Some general coursework (MSSC, Nurse Aide, etc.) may be transferred, but program specific requirements will not. Each instance is examined on a case by case basis by the Financial Aid Office, Programming Manager, and Adult Director to determine transferrable portions of the course.

Incomplete

• A grade of incomplete is not counted in the grade point average. If the student does not complete the work in the specified time the incomplete will change to an F, which negatively impacts the grade point average.

Withdrawal

• If the student is passing at time of withdrawal they will receive a WP (Withdraw Passing) grade which is not counted in the grade point average.

• If the student is failing at the time of withdrawal they will receive a grade of F, which is counted in the grade point average and does negatively affect satisfactory progress.

*Note: The term “withdrawal” defines any reason for a student leaving school, whether it is initiated by the student or by the school. Financial Aid Probation If the student is issued a warning and placed on financial aid probation it is the student’s responsibility to work out a plan of action with the instructor, Financial Aid Office, and Program Manager. During this time, students can still receive financial aid, but they must be working on their specified action plan. The plan of action will include requirements for minimum attendance (90%), minimum grades (70%), and/or a weekly mandatory check-in with the instructor, Program Manager, and Financial Aid Office. Many students will be required to attend regular classroom hours plus a combination of homework assignments, clinical/lab time, and/or online coursework as part of the plan of action. The probation will last one payment period and all minimum requirements must be met for the student to be back in good standing. PRCTC will check the progress weekly and will notify the student when SAP has been met.


Additional Notes: A student who is not receiving aid due to unsatisfactory progress will have their aid reinstated only when the student is meeting the standard or wins an appeal. A student who becomes ineligible for aid will be responsible for paying all fees that were not covered by financial aid.

5.16SatisfactoryAcademicProgressAppeal A student may submit an appeal in the form of a letter along with any supporting documentation to the Adult Director/Designee describing circumstances beyond the student’s control that may have caused a failure to meet the satisfactory progress standards. The Adult Director/Designee will convene a review board and a determination of the appeal will be made within two weeks. Cases will be reviewed on an individual basis and the student will be notified of his/her appeal. If the appeal is approved the student will be placed on financial aid probation. Probation will allow student to still receive financial aid but will be required to meet SAP by the end of the probation period (usually one payment period).

5.17SpecialCircumstanceAppeal The EFC formula is basically the same for all applicants and prior year income is used in the calculation. The financial aid officer has the authority on a case by case basis to adjust certain data elements for a student with special or unusual circumstances. Some examples of acceptable appeals are as follows:

• Loss of income due to non-disability related unemployment – Student, spouse, or parent(s) has lost employment (due to layoff or involuntary resignaon) since the last tax year reported on most recent FAFSA. If unemployment is temporary and individual is acvely seeking employment, you must wait unl six months a5er date of unemployment before submi6ng a Special Circumstance Peon for this reason.

• Loss of income due to disability or natural disaster – Student, spouse, or parent(s) has not been able to

earn money the way it was earned in the last tax year reported on the FAFSA. This must be due to a disability or natural disaster that occurred since the end of the last reported tax year.

• Occurrence of one-1me income – Student, spouse, parent(s) received a one-me lump sum (such as

5.19VerificationPolicyandProcedures The school is responsible for verifying the accuracy of the financial data used to calculate the student‘s expected family contribution (EFC). If there is an asterisk (*) next to EFC number on the SAR or ISIR, it means that the student has been selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education, to verify the information on the student‘s Federal Application. The school may also select a student for verification. If a student files on-line and is flagged for verification the Financial Aid Office sends a letter to the student requesting a copy of their Tax Transcript and the Verification worksheet(s) depending on what verification group they are flagged in, to be completed. The Financial Aid Office then makes any necessary corrections and submits them electronically to the Dept. of Education. If a student requires a Financial Aid advisor to assist them in completing the FAFSA then the student is required to bring their Federal Tax Transcript and completes the Verification worksheet(s) during the meeting. No funds will be disbursed prior to verification being completed. If a student‘s award changes as a result of verification/correction, a revised award notification will be sent within two weeks of the completed verification/correction process.

Required Verification Items

• Household Size • Number Enrolled in College • Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) • U.S. Income Tax Paid • Certain Untaxed Income and Benefits • SNAP Benefits • Child Support Paid/Received • Identity Statement/Educational Intent • High School Completion Status

Note: The above items are required to be verified; however, the Financial Aid Office is obligated to address any other discrepancies and request documentation to resolve them. Acceptable Documentation Starng in the 2012-2013 school year students must obtain a Tax Transcript from the IRS instead of the Tax Return. The Tax Transcript will be the only acceptable form of verificaon documentaon starng July 1, 2012. Alternave documentaon may be accepted in some cases. The Financial Aid Office can tell the student what documentaon is needed and acceptable for each item to be verified.

It is the responsibility of the student to nofy the instructor or the Adult Educaon office in advance when an absence is expected. Students are required to maintain an a>endance percentage of 90% or higher in order to be eligible for a state cerficate and financial aid. If your cumulave a>endance falls below 90% in any one month and causes you to lose your funding, you have one month to make up the hours; or you are dropped from the program unl you find an alternave funding source. If a student’s absences exceed ten percent per month of the scheduled class hours (below 90%), he/she will be reported to the appropriate funding agency as needed. The Student Services staff will follow-up on students whose monthly a>endance falls below 90%. Students who miss three consecuve days without noficaon to the school will be referred to the appropriate programming Manager or Student Services Staff for follow-up. Students whose monthly a>endance falls below 80% shall be subject to withdrawal from the program. Public Safety programs require 100% a>endance. All missed hours have to be made up for successful compleon of the program. Health programs have addional a>endance requirements and policies. Please refer to the program specific supplements for the addional informaon.
