Is there an appeal process if the student has a medical excuse for the missed time? Do they have to pay to re-take the course if there are extenuating circumstances?

Is this failure because of academic performance, attendance or some other reason? Does a successful appeal mean that the student must re-take the course but not pay for it or that he/she doesn't have to take it again?

I can't agree with your statement that as an instructor you're not involved with the retention process. Instructors are an integral part of any retention program.

Good point, Charles. State-of-the-industry equipment/technology and a well maintained facility are essential physical indications that the school is committed to first class training. These are the basis for building pride among faculty, staff and students.

Sounds like a great program, Jack! Do you - or the class - ever have to "fire" a coordinator or foreman? Do they have different responsibilities? If so, what are they? Do students "run" for election"? Do they hold the position for the full 27 weeks?
