Attendance and Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

HVAC/R Application | Complete the form below.
This Attendance and Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy will be applied consistently to all students:

Attendance:

Students are expected to attend as scheduled and are required to contact the school if they will be absent. This contact should occur on the first day of absence.

The school regards students who miss scheduled class time to be absent for those clock hours. The school does not distinguish between types of absences. Any student who misses scheduled class time is expected to schedule make up time with their class instructor. Days that the school is closed ore days covered by an approved leave of absence need not to be made up.

Students that are absent for 14 (Fourteen) consecutive calendar days without an approved leave of absence will be at risk of losing their title IV funding eligibility. Students who lose their funding eligibility will be administratively withdrawn and will be billed for any remaining balances due to CDE Career Instituter in accordance with the student's enrollment agreement.

Maximum Time Frame for Completion:

Each student has a prescribed enrollment period which specifies his or her Start date and expected Graduation date. Student are expected to complete their training by their graduation date. Periods of non-enrollment such as an approved leave of absence are not included as part of the Maximum Time Frame. Students enrolled in a program are allowed no more than 150% of their program's published number of weeks in which to meet all requirements for graduation. Failure to meet graduation requirements within the maximum time frame for completion will result in administrative withdrawal.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Review:

When students reach the calendar midpoint date of their program, a formal Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluation occurs. Progress is checked in three areas:
1. Attendance: Rate of attendance must be a minimum of 67% (Hours attended/Hours scheduled to attend) to retain Federal Student Aid Funding eligibility.
2. Grade Point Average (GPA): Must be 2.0 or above to retain Federal Student Aid Funding eligibility.
3. At the midpoint progress review students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 AND must have attended a minimum of 50% of their program's published clock hours.
HVAC/R Technology - 900 clock hours

Students who do not pass the mid-point SAP review must immediately meet their instructor to create and comply with a make-up plan. Non-Compliance will result in loss of funding and administrative withdrawal.

Leave of Absence:

Time covered by an approved Leave of Absence does not count against student attendance requirements. Any student asking for a Leave of Absence, or requiring adjustments to your schedule, must submit a request in writing and in advance. Please refer to your school catalog for our Leave of Absence and schedule change policy.
