Attendance Policy

Consistent attendance and satisfactory academic performance are essential for CTE student
success in the Career Technical Education programs at ABC Adult School. The following policy
ensures students meet the required competencies and learning outcomes for program
completion, certification, and employment readiness.

Attendance Requirements

● CTE students must maintain 90% positive attendance in each module, quarter, and semester, and throughout the entire CTE program.
● Only CTE students maintaining 90% positive attendance within a module, quarter, or semester are eligible to make up missed class time, up to a maximum of 10% of program hours, at the end of the program.
● CTE students who fall below 90% positive attendance will not receive credit for the module, quarter, semester, or course.
● Students in Module/Quarter programs are removed if they fail to meet attendance requirements in two modules or quarters throughout the program.
● Students in semester programs are removed if they do not meet attendance requirements in the same semester.
● Students who fail to meet the 90% attendance requirement cannot make up missed time. Instead, they must retake the module, quarter, or semester when it is next offered, with the assigned instructor, subject to class availability, and the student is responsible for all associated fees.
● All make-up hours must be approved by the instructor and the Coordinator of Student Services/CTE Program Administrator and must fall within the 10% limit of missed class time.
● ABC Adult School reserves the right not to refund any/all fees for students removed due to attendance deficiencies.
● Students removed for attendance deficiencies must wait six (6) calendar months from the removal date before re-enrolling.
● Students removed for attendance may not access ABC Adult School classes or services during the six-month removal period.

Medical Leave of Absence (MLOA)/Leave of Absence (LOA)

● MLOA/LOA does not exempt the student from the attendance policy.
● All students, including those on an MLOA/LOA, must still meet the attendance policy requirements to receive credit.
● MLOA/LOA may allow the student to re-enroll at a later date at no charge to make up the missed class or module (when it is offered, by the assigned teacher, and if space is available).
● MLOA/LOA are evaluated individually by the CTE Program Administrator/Coordinator of Student Support Services and the Financial Aid Coordinator before being approved.

CTE students are responsible for monitoring their attendance and must promptly communicate
with instructors about absences or attendance concerns. Attendance is recorded daily. Excessive
absences or tardiness may result in removal from the program in accordance with this policy.
