The first evaluation will occur no later than the midpoint of the academic year. The SAP evaluations are completed within seven (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, it will be reviewed and signed by the student and maintained in the student’s financial file. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation will reflect if the student’s evaluation will impact the student's eligibility for Financial Aid. The student may request to review their Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation form from the Financial Services Leader or Future Professional Advisor.
The following grading scale is used for theory progress:
A = 96 – 100% B = 95 – 90% C = 89 – 85% Failing = Below 85%
Practical Skills are graded by instructor approval in Course Key Skills Tracker or guest ticket. Approval from an instructor represents a grade of 85% or higher. No approval indicates a score of less than 85% and the student has not met minimum satisfactory on the practical application. The student is required to continue the practical application until they receive approval from an instructor. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments.
*The school uses a 900-hour and 26 weeks academic year for Title IV purposes.
