Attendance Policy
The Institute has no general policy regarding attendance, with the exception of practica and fieldwork. At the beginning of each course, the instructor will state the attendance requirement for the course. In the case of a practicum or field work in which the student has service or patient-care responsibilities, an unexcused absence may be cause for failure in the course and dismissal from the program.
In the event that a student receiving Title IV funding withdraws, is dismissed, or takes a leave of absence, the last day of attendance (required for federal refund calculations) will be that which is noted on the withdrawal, dismissal, or leave of absence form. If a student receiving Title IV funding simply ceases to attend class (without completing the appropriate form) the final date of attendance used for calculating aid to be refunded will be when the Financial Aid Office is made aware of the absence.
