Grading

Students are expected to come to every class PREPARED. This means reading the appropriate chapters and assignments BEFORE coming to class. The instructor reserves the right to give a pop quiz at any time during the semester. Homework is due at the beginning to the 2nd day of class each week. No homework will be accepted after 12:00 (noon) for grading. If your homework is not turned in after 5 weeks, you will receive a NC (Not Complete). Tuition must be paid ON TIME per your arranged payment schedule. Students will not be allowed to take mid-term, 2nd or final exams if behind on tuition. Tuition must be PAID IN FULL to take the final exam and certificate to be issued. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

If the student is placed on academic probation for poor performance, he/she must bring his/her overall average grade to 75% within a period of no more than 30 days. The student must then maintain this level of performance thereafter. If said criteria are not met within the 30 days, the student may drop and complete the course the following semester. Tuition must be paid in full before the return date, or they cannot complete the course. If the student does not meet this standard, they will forfeit their certification and still be responsible for tuition balance.
