C. All courses offered through our Adult School Program are offered through “Career Pathways”. Each course has a

specific number of semesters allowed and/or required to complete the pathway. It is recommended to complete the

entire pathway before changing to a different course. Choosing to not complete the pathway will result in that

D. Classes may be canceled or reduced in hours if there is insufficient enrollment. If the student wishes to maintain

time status, he/she must enroll in another program.

E. Students are not allowed to enroll in 2 or more courses that would create a conflict in schedule. In addition, VA

REFUND POLICY

This school has and maintains a policy for the refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges in the event

the veteran or eligible person fails to enter the course or withdraws, or is discontinued therefrom at any time prior to the

completion. The amount charged to the veteran or eligible person for tuition, fees, and other charges does not exceed the

approximate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges, that the length of the completed

portion of the course should bear to its total length. For the registration fee, the amount in excess of $10 will be subject to

proration.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

All students who qualify are accepted into the program, within the limits of class capacity. Qualification is determined by

the counselor. Health Science and Medical Technology Programs and GED program require a minimum score of 560 on

the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). All students must pay for books, tools, materials and supply fees to complete

class. There are no refunds unless the class is cancelled.

CREDIT EVALUATION

It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Veterans Program representative of any prior training and to request and

provide the Veterans Program representative with transcripts/certificates of all prior training. Students with previous training

in the course to be pursued will be tested upon enrollment and given appropriate credit. Evaluation will be based upon

analysis of transcripts from educational institutions previously attended and either a written exam, a hands-on demonstration

of skills, or both. Credit allowed will be recorded upon enrollment and the length of the course shortened proportionately.

In addition, the student and the VA will be notified regarding credit given for previous course work.

NOTE: Only training completed in the last five years will be considered for transfer credit due to changes

in technology.

Career Technical Education (CTE) Training Enrollment

Students enrolled in a career technical training under the auspices of the VA, EDD, or Rehabilitation Departments must

follow the prescribed sequence of courses and master the skills/ competencies prior to enrolling in the next course. Students

wishing to take a course out of sequence must have teacher recommendation or demonstrate mastery or pre-requisite skills.

6

ATTENDANCE POLICY

A. 18 week courses: Students are allowed a maximum of four (4) absences per semester in either the Fall or Spring

semester. Upon the fifth (5) absence in a semester, the student will be dropped from the program for the

remainder of that semester. If enrolled through our Veteran Program, the certification will be terminated for

the semester.

9 week courses: Students are allowed a maximum of 2 (2) absences per semester in either the Fall or Spring

semester. Upon the third (3) absence in a semester, the student will be dropped from the program for the

remainder of that semester. If enrolled through our Veteran Program, the certification will be terminated for

the semester.

B. It is not necessary for students to bring in notes verifying their absences; all absences are counted the same,

regardless of the reason for the absence. There are no “excused” or “unexcused” absences.

C. All Students must sign in every day. Students are to sign only their own full name at the time they arrive. Signing

in for someone else is grounds for immediate dismissal. Students are also responsible for signing out at the end

of the class.

D. Tardiness and Leaving Class Early are a disruption of a good learning environment. Being tardy/leaving early

is counted in 15 increments. Every 15 minutes will result in a ¼ day absence; 1-15 mins. = ¼ absence; 16-30

mins. = ½ absence; 31-45 mins. = ¾ absence; 46-60 mins. = 1 whole day absence.

For example:

A.) Student arrives to school 3 minutes late, this will result in a ¼ day absence. B.) Student arrives to class 17

minutes late, this will result in ½ day absence.

A.) Student leaves class early 6 minutes before the scheduled end time, this will result in a ¼ day absence. B.)

Student leaves class 21 minutes early, this will result in a ½ day absence for that day.

E. Make-up work may be required for any absence; however, hours of make-up work cannot be accepted as hours

of class attendance.

F. Students may not “accrue” allowed absence days. These days are intended for emergency use only and cannot be

used during the last week of a semester.

G. Students will not receive credit for the time they are not in class. Students only receive credit and attendance for

actual time spent in class.

H. If a student is removed from a class because of excessive absences, the teacher will notify the Veterans

Technician who will initiate cancellation of veteran benefits.

CONDUCT POLICY

Students shall, at all times when on the school premises, conduct themselves in an orderly and considerate manner and

shall appear for classes in a sober and receptive condition. Violation of this condition is just cause for dismissal. In order

to remain enrolled in a course, students must participate fully in that course; make satisfactory progress toward achieving

the course objectives, and exhibit appropriate classroom conduct.

7

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY

Leave of Absence requests are for EMERGENCY reasons only. Written requests for leaves of absence (LOA) will be

considered and such leaves may be granted to students at the discretion of the school principal and the Veterans Program

clerk. A maximum of 6 days will be granted for 18 week courses and a maximum of 3 days will be granted for 9

week courses. Time may NOT be combined with allowed absence days to extend an LOA request. An LOA request will

be considered ONLY ONCE per semester.

LOA requests of more than 3 or 6 days (depending on the term) will not be accepted for consideration. If an LOA exceeds

the maximum approved days, the student will not be reinstated and certification will be terminated. The student may not

re-enroll for classes until the start of the next semester.

Due to the fact that the CTE programs of the Sweetwater Union High School District, Division of Adult Education are

clock hour programs, even mitigating circumstances for absences require that students be dropped from the program for

the period they will be absent. If a leave of absence is approved, students will be reinstated upon their return not

exceeding the maximum allowed days, but will not receive payment for the period they were not in attendance.

PROGRESS REPORT POLICY

A. A student progress report will be issued every nine weeks, following the scale below for each module/unit

completed.

Textbooks are required for all CTE courses. Books may be purchased online at: http://adulteducation.sweetwaterschools.org Under the “Students” tab, Click “Purchase CTE Textbooks”

Our education program is measured in clock hours and housing benefits are paid based on scheduled class hours per week. To determine your course housing, find the hours and days that the class meets per week. Then, multiply the hours times the days per week.

Example 1: You would like to take the “Computer Applications” course at Chula Vista Adult School (CVA). According to the brochure, this course meets M-Th from 5:30pm – 9:15pm with a 15 minute break. This means 3.50 hours daily since the course meets four times a week. Multiply the course hours by the total days per week. 3.50 hours a day x 4 days a week = 14 hours a week

Example 2: You would like to take the “Administrative Professional” course at Chula Vista Adult School (CVA).

According to the brochure, this course meets M-Th from 7:45am – 9:45am followed by a 15 minute break and then meets again from 10:00am – 12:30pm. 4.5 hours a day x 4 days a week = 18 hours per week
