ATTENDANCE AND DOCUMENTATION OF TIME

  1. The school records attendance in clock hours and gives appropriate earned attendance credit for all hours attended and does not add or deduct attendance hours as a penalty. Attendance is calculated using an attendance tracking app called CourseKey. It is the responsibility of the Future Professional to record their hours by checking in and out through the app.  Attendance is calculated using a computerized timeclock. This device may consist of  an app that can be used on your phone, a biometric scanner in the school, or similar device. If a student fails to clock in or out for their schedule, the Future Professional will not receive  hours.
    It is the responsibility of the Future Professional to ensure that they are properly clocking in and out  as required. If a Future Professional fails to clock in or out for their schedule on the Future Professional timeclock, the Future Professional will not receive hours for the time with missed time punches. To ensure proper credit for clock hours, Future Professionals are required to clock in or out at the following times:
    • When they arrive,
    • When they leave for lunch,
    • When they return from  lunch,
    • When they leave at the end of the day:
    • If a Future Professional leaves the premises for any reason, and
    • If a Future Professional is taking a break over 10 minutes, they are required to clock out.
      If the Future Professional  wishes to dispute any hours they feel earned, the Future Professional must provide documentation to verify attendance on the missing time form. The documentation could include the Future Professional sign in sheet, the specialty class attendance role, and/or the guest service summary.

      If a Future Professional is experiencing a timeclock challenge and is unable to clock in or out, they must report the challenge to the Future Professional Advisor within 24 hours.
       
  2. The school is open from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM for day Future Professionals and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM for night Future Professionals.
  3. The Future Professional must attend school according to the schedule in the Future Professional's enrollment agreement. All programs require continuous attendance.
  4. The following are mandatory attendance days: Night Future Professionals may not miss Tuesday; day Future Professionals may not miss Mondays.
  5. Future Professionals must be on time, as tardiness inhibits the learning process. Future Professionals who are late to any class must be accompanied into the classroom by the Learning Leader. Future Professionals are never excused from mandatory theory classes to work in the clinic classroom. Day Future Professionals that arrive later than 9:00 a.m. or 5:00 p.m. for night Future Professional will not be allowed to attend  school. The only exception that would allow attendance as a tardy arrival is a Doctor note.
  6. Attendance Expectation Generally: Future Professionals must maintain a 100% attendance average each month in order to complete the program by the expected/calculated completion date. The school attendance policy required 85% to maintain satisfactory progress. Falling below this number means that the Future Professional may receive a coaching on the advisory form for their attendance.
  7. CORE Attendance Expectation: Future Professionals attend Core for the first 30 days of enrollment. During this time Future Professional must maintain a monthly attendance of 90%. If at  the conclusion of the month, the Future Professional's progress report does not meet  the 90% attendance, the Future Professional may be dropped from the program and may be asked to re-enroll in the next Core available class start date.
  8. Future Professionals are required to be in attendance and actively participating in their education. When a Future Professional is scheduled for attendance but not present, these will be reflected as absent hours. If a Future Professional does not clock in or out properly resulting in the hours not being counted, these will be reflected in the absent hours unless the missing time form and necessary documentation is provided as outlined in the catalog. 
    If a Future Professional is absent, refer to the school make-up hour policy on how to make-up those hours. Please keep in mind make-up hours and policies are optional  for the school to provide and may be charged.
  9. Vacation and Planned Time Away (e.g. medical appointments, outside commitments): Future Professionals must request planned time off from school from the Future Professional Advisor and the Financial Services Leader. The approval of any request does not mean that the Future Professional will continue to meet the attendance requirements.
  10. Unplanned Absences of Trardies: Future Professionals who are late or cannot attend school must contact the school and talk to the school service desk immediately. Day Future Professionals must call/text in by 9:00 AM and night Future Professionals must call in by 5:00 PM.
  11. Lunches and breaks are scheduled for all Future Professionals. All Full-time Future Professionals are required to take a 30-minute lunch break. Future Professionals should communicate with their Learning Leaders if they have not had lunch by 1:30 PM. Part-time Future Professionals will take a 10-minute break as scheduled by the school administration.

Observe the appropriate breaks for your school schedule. Breaks are as follows:
