the student success partner to review their progress in meeting the standards for attendance. Under no circumstances is a student permitted to continue training if it is determined that the documented attendance probation stipulations have been violated. Veteran students will have their benefits discontinued if attendance requirements are not met. ONLINE STUDENTS Regular and substantive active participation online is required to achieve the minimum 80% attendance standard for graduation. A student attends online courses by participating actively in classes or otherwise engaging in "academically related activities". Examples of "academic engagement" include such activities that demonstrate "regular and substantive interaction" include but are not limited to: • Attending a synchronous class, lecture, recitation, or field or laboratory activity, physically or online, where there is an opportunity for interaction between the instructor and students. • Submitting an academic assignment. • Taking an assessment or an exam. • Participating in an interactive tutorial, webinar, or other interactive computer -assisted Instruction • Participating in a study group, group project, or an online discussion that is assigned by the institution. • Interacting with an Instructor about academic matters. Students should be sure to meet online deadlines for submitting their work as late work will not receive full credit. Note: Logging into class without active participation as defined above does not constitute participation, and therefore there is no attendance credit. HYBRID STUDENTS Students enrolled in a Hybrid Learning Schedule must adhere to the Online Student Attendance Policy when completing the online sessions of their coursework. A student attends online courses by participating actively in classes or otherwise engaging in academically related activities. The student must also adhere to the On -Campus attendance policy when attending lab sessions at the campus, Student attendance is recorded face-to-face during the on -ground portion of the program. Any tardy or leave early of more than 15 minutes on campus lab day(s) may result in a loss of professionalism points. Attendance is monitored for campus lab each day that lab is scheduled in the program forthat student. Students who missed a scheduled lab session may make-up the session within the same week. Students with an excused absence who miss an on -campus session are permitted to make-up the lab session within the same module. If a holiday falls on a scheduled campus lab day within the program of study, students will be required to attend additional hours in the week in which there is a holiday in order to fulfill the total scheduled hours forthatweek. ATTENDANCE PROBATION Students that fail to maintain a minimum of 80% attendance will be placed on attendance probation for one module or term, to provide an opportunity to achieve satisfactory attendance progress. Student progress toward achieving 80% is monitored closely during the probationary period. Students who achieve the cumulative 80% attendance in less than the probationary period may be removed early from attendance probation and returned to good attendance standing. If satisfactory attendance progress is not achieved at the conclusion of the probationary period, the student may be terminated. A decision can be made by the Campus President at the end of the attendance probationary period to extend the probationary period if it is determined that the student, with improved attendance, has the ability to achieve the 80% attendance requirement. If at any time during the probation extension it is determined the student will not achieve the 80% attendance requirement (ie: student's absences are so excessive), or, if the institution believes that the student's attendance and academic progress does not indicate that successful completion can occur, the student may be terminated from the program.
