Remember that the make up policy must be approved by Career Schools and Colleges before you can implement it. It is not automatic. Frank

Attendance Policy

The 20% is based upon the total program hours. If a student misses more than 20% then they must be terminated. If they miss more than 10 consecutive days they must be terminated. There is not a requirement for a probationary term.

Attendance Policy

TWC allows a student to miss 20% of the total clock hours of the program. There are no other exceptions or extenuating circumstances allowed. It is up to the student to manage their absences. As far as charging a student additional charges upon their return, that is up to the school.

Attendance Policy

Aaron, The rule does state "more than 10 consecutive school days;" so theorically if the student shows up on time for the first class on the 11th day then you don't have to drop them. A school can have a policy that is strictier than the TWC rules that would drop them at 10 days but this would have to be publicized in the catalog.

The PS-042R also ensures that the changes are authorized by the appropriate school official. It prevents just anybody making changes.

Catalog Submissions

You would need to submit the PS-042R and a summary of changes for any changes made to the catalog either program revisions or some other items. Remember the PS-042R is TWC's way of making sure that these are authorized changes.

That's great Dennis. Remember that the make up hours must be done before they reach the 20% mark. Once they exceed the 20% mark they must be terminated.

Hi Annie, One thing to remember is that the make-up policy must be submitted to Career Schools and Colleges for approval before it can be implemented. It is not an automated approval. Hope you are enjoying the study.

When must a school terminate a student for attendance? Can a student make up time from an absence?
