The first evaluation will occur no later than the midpoint of the academic year. The SAP evaluations are completed within 7 school business days of the student reaching the evaluation points.
At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 80% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum 125% time frame allowed.
The following grading system is used to evaluate a student’s academic ability:
- Examinations are given in all subjects.
- If a student receives an UnSatisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation, the Future Professional Advisor will meet in person with the student, the evaluation will be reviewed and signed by the student acknowledging their unsatisfactory status. The evaluation is maintained in the student’s financial file. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation will reflect if the student’s evaluation will impact the students eligibility for Financial Aid. The student may request to review their Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation from the Financial Services Leader or Future Professional Advisor.
A = 90 – 100% B = 80 – 89% C = 75 – 79% Failing = Below 75%
Practical skills are graded by instructor approval in CourseKey Skills Tracker or guest ticket. A signature from an instructor represents a passing grade which means all elements of the technical grading criteria were met. Scoring below 75% indicates a failing score which means one or more of the technical grading criteria elements were not met and the student has not met minimum satisfactory standards on the technical evaluation. Students are required to continue and/or repeat the technical evaluation until they receive a score above 75%.
Transfer hours accepted by the school are applied to the total number of hours necessary to complete the program and are considered both attempted and completed hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted. Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluation periods are based on actual contracted hours at the institution.
*The school uses a 900-hour academic year for Title IV purposes.
