Attendance, Absence and Hours Policy

Student’s required hours of attendance are delineated in the student’s enrollment contract. It is the student’s responsibility to adhere to and ensure that contracted hours are met weekly. Students are only permitted to attend school during their regular contract schedule and may not graduate earlier than the current contract end date

Any time missed will be made up after the contract end date, during the student’s regular contract schedule. Graduation will be delayed until all hours are made up and all program requirements completed. If your attendance falls below the minimum requirement of 80% attendance, you will reach maximum time frame and extra instructional charges (as discussed in the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy) of $250 per week will apply until you graduate or withdraw. These extra instructional charges will take effect after you have reached maximum time frame at 750 scheduled hours.

When a student must miss school, absences should be both valid and verifiable, i.e., illness, bereavement, etc. All students should notify the Institution if they are going to be late or absent as soon as is possible. It is the responsibility of the student to complete assignments and any material covered during the absence. A leave of absence may be granted at the discretion of the school director, provided the request meets the requirements outlined in the Leave of Absence Policy. Leave of absence requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Absences in excess of 14 consecutive, calendar days will result in withdrawal from enrollment. In the event of withdrawal, tuition balance owed and/or any refund due will be calculated per the Refund Policy signed by the student in the enrollment contract.

All requests for a Leave of Absence must meet requirements outlined in the Leave of Absence Policy. Requests must be submitted in writing to the Financial Aid Office in advance and must include the reason for request, the start and approximate end dates of absence, and the student signature. The Director of Education will issue final approval over all leave of absence decisions. A request for a Leave of Absence may be rejected if required information is missing or the excuse is deemed invalid. Please refer to the Leave of Absence Policy in the student catalog and at the http://www.chrysm.org website.

Clocking and Attendance Adjustment Policy

Attendance and clock hours completed are tracked by students clocking in/out via fingerprint scanner located at the front desk. Students are responsible for clocking in when they arrive for class and clocking out when leaving the building. Students must be clocked in to track their attendance accurately and are responsible for clocking in, clocking out, and confirming that the time scanner registered their clock in/out accurately. School staff are not responsible for ensuring students are clocked in and out. In the event of a school error or a system outage, attendance will be adjusted with a completed Attendance Adjustment Request. Forgetting to clock in or clock out is a grave offense. Adjusting attendance due to a forgotten clock in or clock out is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In the event of a forgotten clock in/clock out, to retain the hours that the student claims to have completed, the student must: • Have an instructor, lab assistant, and/or school official able to vouch for their attendance AND • Schedule a meeting with the Financial Aid Office to state their case and if approved, complete an Attendance Adjustment Request Form If a student does not meet all of the above criteria, hours will not be granted due to insufficient documentation proving their attendance. The school will not adjust attendance without the documentation listed above.

There are surveillance cameras in the main downstairs lobby, the break room, locker room, theory room, and the master practical room.
