requirements for the Certificate of Completion as outlined above may obtain an Attendance <br />Verification Letter upon request. Progress reports are completed by the instructors after every two <br />modules (or quarter of the program) completed by the student. Students and instructors sign the <br />bottom of the progress report and students receive a copy of the report. <br />Grading SAP Requirements and Probation: In order to be considered to be making satisfactory <br />academic progress toward a certificate, a student must maintain specified cumulated grade point <br />averages, average attendance, as well as proceed through the course at a pace leading to <br />completion in a specified time frame, as stated above. <br />SAP must be met for graduation. Students will be notified if they do not meet SAP. <br />For purposes of determining satisfactory academic progress, each program is divided into grading <br />periods (every 25% or quarter of the program) as stated above, and a cumulative grade is <br />maintained. Students receive a letter grade based on a numeric grading system in both their theory <br />and practical work. A minimum cumulative grade average of 70% (2.0) is required for graduation. <br />At the mid -point or at the end of the program, students who do not achieve a 70% cumulative grade <br />average at the end of each quarter grading period but have a score of 60% to 69%, will be placed <br />on academic probation for the next half of the program which is the next formal grading period. If <br />their cumulative grade average at the end of the probationary period is less than 70%, they will be <br />terminated from their program of study. <br />Attendance SAP Requirement and Probation: The student must maintain a cumulative <br />attendance of 80%. If a student's attendance is 70 to 79% for the mid -point or end of program formal <br />grading period, they will be placed on attendance probation for the next half of their program. The <br />probation can be cleared during the following half of their program by improving their cumulative <br />attendance record during that period to 80% or above. If at the end of the probation period the <br />student's attendance is 79% or lower it will result in termination of the student from the program of <br />study. <br />The maximum time frame for completion will be no longer than 150% of the published length of the <br />program of study (e.g. a 600 hour program, maximum would be 900 hours). <br />Periods during which the student has formally requested and received a leave of absence or has <br />officially withdrawn from this institution will not be considered in calculating the attendance rate or <br />maximum time frame. Maximum time frame and projected completion dates are calculated at each <br />quarter of each program. <br />Students who withdraw from school will be evaluated on course work completed at the time of <br />withdrawal. <br />Students who wish to contest a determination that they are not making satisfactory academic <br />progress, must submit a written appeal to the School Director. The letter should describe any <br />circumstance that the student believes would deserve special consideration. The Director will <br />evaluate the appeal and inform the student of their decision in writing. <br />Satisfactory academic progress standards are consistently applied to all students within <br />categories of students, e.g. full-time, part-time, and varying programs established by the <br />Institution. <br />SUSPENSION & TERMINATION <br />Universal Schools & Colleges of Health & Human Services reserves the right to suspend or <br />terminate any student whose attendance, academic progress or personal behavior does not comply <br />with the standards and rules of the School. Reinstatement is only possible upon approval of the <br />School's Director. <br />14 <br />
