Withdrawal Procedure
If a student wishes to withdraw, he/she is required to complete the official withdrawal procedure. If the procedure is not followed completely, formal termination will be based on the monitoring of participation, determined by the school. The following methods of determination will be used: Academic counseling or advising, class examinations, tutorials, computer assisted-instruction or other academically related activities. Student will be charged the $150.00 early withdrawal fee. The following procedure applies:

Withdrawal Form
Student must complete a Withdrawal form and return it to an instructor. The form must be filled out and signed. If turned in and not complete, the withdraw process may be delayed. A withdrawal form may be obtained from any staff member. The official withdrawal date is the date the completed form is received by the school administration and they were meeting satisfactory progress at withdrawal. The student is responsible for seeing that the form reaches that point. Withdrawal is not considered official until a withdrawal form is completed and returned. Any class time missed by the student before withdrawal is official will count as unexcused absences. Once the form is received by the administration, an exit interview will be conducted. At that time, the student and instructor(s) will review options, determine status and consider future educational goals. An administrator will advise the student of any financial obligations student may still have pending.

 

Mitigating Circumstances Policy
When situations of mitigating circumstances occur i.e.: health, death, personal, etc. it is the policy of the school to have the ability to deviate from regular policy on a case by case basis. This can only happen with a minimum of two (2) staff members agreeing, as well as the owner.

 

Repetition

A student making SATISFACTORY PROGRESS at the time of their withdrawal may apply for re-enrollment in the school and will be considered to be making SATISFACTORY PROGRESS at the time of re-enrollment, as long as all policies and procedures were followed. A student failing to meet SATISFACTORY PROGRESS at the time of withdrawal will be placed at the same point they were at when they withdrew. Any student who withdraws from his/her program or fails to complete his/her training will have a notice placed in their student file as to their progress at the point of withdrawal.
