Leave of Absence Policy Students may request a Leave of Absence (LOA) in the event of serious illness, death in the family, or any mitigating or emergency circumstances. A written request explaining the circumstances, length (number of days) of the LOA and any documentation to support the LOA must be submitted for review and must be approved by the Campus Director. If approved, a leave may be granted for a period of up to 60 calendar days for one 12-month period. Students may not return in the middle of any given module. Return dates must fall on the first day of a scheduled module start date (to be determined by administration). This may extend the 60 days as well. Students who fail to return to class as scheduled following a LOA will be terminated from the program and the school will invoke the Cancellation/Refund Policy if applicable. Make -Up Examinations If a student has an excused absence on the day a test is given, he/she will take the exam on the day of return with no penalties. Students who wish to retake a failed test will be given one (1) opportunity to re -take the test. A maximum score of 70% will be recorded for any re -take examinations. Course Incompletes An "Incomplete" will not be considered as a final grade. If students do not complete the required course work within five school days, the Incomplete will be converted to an "F". The "F" will be averaged in with the other grades in determining the average grade. Transcripts Upon written request, the student may receive, or have issued on his/her behalf, one (1) official transcript of grades completed at HST] at no charge at time of completion of the course. A fee of $10.00 will be charged for each additional transcript requested. Course Evaluation At various intervals, students are requested to participate in a confidential evaluation of different aspects of their education, including Instructor's efforts. For purposes of self-improvement, instructors are provided with a summary of the results from the Director but have no access to individual student evaluations.
