Course Policies

In Person Classes:  Participants are entitled to miss 3 hours per credit (1 credit classes – 3 hours / 2 credit classes – 6 hours / 3 credit classes – 9 hours). Missed work must be made up and all assignments must be completed by the end of the course.

Online Classes: Since seat-time is not monitored, absences are not recorded. Instead, attendance is based on submitted assignments.  Participants are entitled to post one late assignment, to be submitted by midnight the next night.  All assignments must be completed by the last session.

Hybrid Classes:  Participants are entitled to miss  20% of the face-to-face time (for example – if a class meets in person for 15 hours, 3 hours can be missed) and post one late assignment, to be submitted by midnight the next night.  All assignments must be completed by the last session.
