§ At the time the student is placed on probation, an improvement plan will be developed and the
probationary period set

§ Depending on the student progress during probation, the appropriate procedure is followed:

1. The student returns to good standing:the probation is removed

                     2. The student continues “Unsatisfactory Academic Progress”: the student is terminatedfor
“Unsatisfactory Academic Progress”. The Students will be sent a letter advising them of
their status and offers the opportunity to appeal

In response to the student appeal, one of two actions may be applied:

                                a. Continued Academic Probation: upon approvalof the Appealin order to give the
student a chance to return to good standing. The student will get an approval letter
for the appeal and be advised of continued probation status of the next course(s)

                                  b. Termination:upon failure to Appeal or Denial of the Appeal.

The students who received a disciplinary action or termination underSAP policy have the right to appeal as follows:

1.       The student must submit a typed letter to the Program Director within five (5) days from the date of the action. This letter must contain the student information, the course/ program title, explanation of the disciplinary action and reasons why the student is wishing to appeal

2.       The student must provide supportive documentation along with the letter in order to support the appeal and prove any mitigating circumstances that may have existed

3.       The Program Director will hear any student who appeals a “SAP-decision” on an appointment basis only

Reinstatement will be determined on a case-by-case basis by school director. Previous academic performance and financial history will be considered.

To graduate, a student must complete all program/ courses, including projects and exams, with grades specified under the Grading Policy. Students will be able to graduate with a certificate if a cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.0 and satisfactory attendance has been achieved.

Students are expected to be in class for the prescribed number of hours for which they have enrolled. Continuous absences, which, in the opinion of the faculty and administration, hinder educational objectives and result in unsatisfactory achievement which may lead to termination of the student’s enrollment. Absences for acceptable personal or medical reasons will not lead to termination although the student’s projected date of graduation may have to be revised. Excessive lateness and leaving early will be counted as absences. AMAT attendance policy is based on a percentage of course hours attended. Poor attendance, tardiness, or early departure can substantially affect the student’s ability to master the knowledge and skill objectives for satisfactory completion of the course. Consistent absence will affect the final grade thereby affecting the cumulative grade point average and putting the student at risk of falling below satisfactory progress standards.

The following documented absences will be considered on appeal for excused absences in calculating final course “module” attendance:

• Mandated legal appointment

• Court appearance with subpoena provided

• Probation appointment with a letter from probation officer provided

• Jury duty with summons provided

• Military duty with a copy of orders provided

• Illness (self or family) with doctor’s note containing an original signature. Students should understand that non-illness appointments (preventive visits, follow-ups, well-baby, etc.) are typically expected by employers to be made outside of work hours and therefore AMAT suggests the student do the same while in school

• Agency caseworker appointment with a letter from caseworker

• Bereavement accompanied with an obituary or death certificate

Permission to make-up the time exceeding the 15% limit is determined in consultation with the instructor with final approval from the Director of Education. Any further incidents of missed class will result in failure of the course. In rare cases, instructors may recommend additional make-up work or passing a student who has failed to meet the attendance requirement if there are extenuating circumstances involved and the student otherwise meets the academic requirements for passing the course. The School Director must agree to the exception. Good attendance and timeliness are important workplace skills and are crucial to educational programs with a strong hands-on, practical component. Students are made aware of these policies at orientation and on the first day of all classes. Late arrival, early departure and lateness returning from breaks are also incorporated into the cumulative absence and can result in a possible course failure. Tardiness or leaving class prior to dismissal will result in that time being considered absent to the nearest quarter-hour following the lateness or the preceding quarter-hour for leaving early. Continued lack of attendance may result in further disciplinary action including suspension or dismissal as a violation of the school’s standards of conduct. The Director of Education and School President will make the dismissal decision based upon recommendations from the instructor and department chair.

Students who are absent 14 consecutive calendar days in any course will be considered to have withdrawn from the course unless the student has contacted the school during this period of absence to indicate their intention to return.

– A student will be placed on probation if at the end of any courses they have completed less than 85% of their scheduled hours within their academic program. Once on probation, a student will have the following courses to improve their attendance above 85% of the scheduled hours. If at the end of the second consecutive quarter a student is still below the 85% threshold, Austin Medical Assistant Training has the right to dismiss the student for unsatisfactory progress.

– Students are required to complete 85% of their clinical hours. Students will not be considered to have completed their clinical externships until the site supervisor has certified all required attendance hours. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the school with a time sheet signed by the clinical site supervisor documenting clinical hours completed for a week no later than Monday of the following week.

The classroom teacher maintains the attendance roster. The attendance roster is kept at the schoolat all times. If a substitute teacher is used, the substitute must initial the day’s attendance.

Attendance will be taken in the following manner:

1. Approximately ten minutes after class begins

2. Approximately ten minutes before class ends

The student will not be able to repeat more than one course per quarter due to absences.

A student will be placed on probation if at the end of any courses they have completed less than 85% of their scheduled hours within their academic program. Once on probation, a student should contact the academic support team to follow their directions in order to fix this non-compliance with the attendance policy.

If the student absent for 14 days consecutively without notifying the school, the student will be considered dropped. The school will contact the student by telephone and in writing and formally advise the student of this status. Results will be recorded on the Absent/Drop Form. If appropriate, the student will be informed that a leave of absence status is available. The student will also be informed that the tuition paid will remain valid unless there has been a significant financial or educational change to the program, in which case, extra tuition will be charged. respond in writing and provide reasons for withdrawal. The results will be recorded in the Absent/Drop Record Form.

A copy of the same letter will be given to the student the next time the student comes to class, at which time the student must sign the Absence/Drop Record Form acknowledging receipt of the letter.

If absent a third time, the student will be informed in writing that the course must be repeated and the student will be subject to paying additional tuition for the repeat. The student will not be able to repeat more than one course per program due to absences.

Ifthe student absent for5 days consecutively without notifying the school, the student will be considered dropped. The school will contact the student by telephone and in writing and formally advise the student of this status. Results will be recorded on the Absent/Drop Form. The student will also be informed that the tuition paid will remain valid, unless there has been a significant financial or educational change to the program, in which case, extra tuition will be charged. The school will then request that the student respond in writing and provide reasons for withdrawal. The results will be recorded in the Absent/Drop Record Form.

Classroom work missed because of an absence can be made up through arrangement with the Instructor and the School Director. The student is responsible for initiating any request to make up work missed because of class absence. Make-up work, however, does not remove an absence. Absences more than 15% of instructional hours must be made up in supervised work, documented by faculty, in order for the student to receive credit. Attendance at make-up sessions will be permanently recorded in an attendance register maintained by the instructor. All makeup hours for a course must be made up before the end of the course. Permission to make-up the time exceeding the 15% limit is determined in consultation with the instructor with final approval from the Director of Education. Any further incidents of missed class will result in failure of the course. In rare cases, instructors may modify additional make-up work for student who has failed to meet the attendance requirement if there are extenuating circumstances involved and the student otherwise meets the academic requirements for passing the course. The School Director must agree to any exceptions. Good attendance and timeliness are important workplace skills and are crucial to educational programs with a strong hands-on, practical component.

The Director of Education and School President will make the dismissal decision based upon recommendations from the instructor and department chair.Students are required to make up any missed hours. Make-up hours will be charged an hourly.

The following conditions may be considered for leave of absence: medical (including pregnancy), family care (including unexpected loss of childcare and medical care of family), military duty, and jury duty. Any student who must take a leave of absence may do so, by submitting letter stating why the student needs to take a leave of absence, to the school administrative. Also, when applicable, and as requested by the administrative, the student wishing to take the leave of absence must submit documented proof for said emergency. Upon meeting these requirements, the school administrative will then decide whether the student may or may not take a leave of absence. Both the administrative and student will document and sign all approvals, disapprovals or solutions. The student will receive a copy for their records as well. A student who takes a leave of absence during any program/ course quarter where the grade of the program/ course will be affected will receive an incomplete grade of “I” for such program/ courses. Once a student retakes the program/ course, the new program/ course grade will replace the incomplete “I” grade. The total time requested off must not exceed 30 days (cumulative) in a calendar period. Students must be in good academic standing to be eligible to apply for a Leave of Absence. Students must be current on their monthly payment plan, as appropriate, and continue making any regularly scheduled tuition payments during the time that they are on an approved Leave of Absence. A student returning from LOA must be evaluated by the campus before returning and will only be allowed to return to the program at the beginning of the module. Students who do not return from the LOA on the scheduled return date indicated on the LOA Request Form will be automatically withdrawn from the school effective that date and will be charged as outlined in the refund policy described in the school catalog and Enrollment Agreement.

Once the student has been accepted the student or the school may cancel the Enrollment Agreement before the class start date.
