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 90% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum 111.11% 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.

The following grading scale is used for theory progress:

A = 90 – 100% B = 80 – 89% C = 70 – 79% Failing = Below 70%

Practical skills are graded by instructor approval in CourseKey Skills Tracker or guest ticket. Approval from an instructor represents a grade of 70% or higher. No approval indicates a score of less than 70% and the student has not met minimum satisfactory standards 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 academic year for Title IV purposes.
