Attendance and Documentation of Time

Attendance and Documentation of Time

1. The school records attendance in clock hours and gives appropriate attendance credit for all hours attended. The school does not add or deduct attendance hours as a penalty. Attendance is calculated using a tracking app called CourseKey. It is the responsibility of the Future Professional to record their hours by checking in and out through the app. If a Future Professional fails to clock in or out for their schedule, the Future Professional will not receive hours.
   It is the responsibility of the Future Professional to ensure that they are properly clocking in and out as required. If a Future Professional fails to clock in or out for their schedule on the Future Professional time-clock, the Future Professional will not receive hours for the time missed time punches. To ensure proper credit for clock hours, Future Professionals are required to clock in or out at the following times:
   • When they arrive at school,
   • When they leave  for lunch,
   • When they leave at the end of the day;
   • If a Future Professional leaves the premises for any reason, and
   • If a Future Professional is taking a break over 10 minutes, they are required to clock out.
     If the Future Professional wishes to dispute any hours they feel earned, the Future Professional must provide documentation to verify attendance on the missing time form. The documentation could include the Future Professional sign in sheet, the specialty class attendance role, and/or the guest service summary.
     If a Future Professional is experiencing timeclock challenges and are unable to clock in or out, they must report the challenge to the Future Professional Advisor within 24 hours.
2. The school is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for day Future Professionals and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for night Future Professionals.
3. The Future Professional must attend school according to the schedule in the Future Professional's enrollment agreement. All programs require continuous attendance.
4. The following are mandatory attendance days: Monday for Night Future Professionals and Day Future Professional may not miss their assigned theory days. If a Future Professional is unable to attend a mandatory day/night they may find a substitute and submit the Substitution Request Form to the Future Professional Advisor.
5. Future Professionals must be on time, as tardiness inhibits the learning process. Future Professionals who are late for any class must be accompanied into the classroom by a Learning Leader. Future Professionals are never excused from mandatory theory classes to work in the clinic classroom. Future Professionals that arrive later than 9:00 a.m. for day school and 1:30 p.m. for night Future Professionals will not be allowed to attend school. The only exception that would allow school attendance for a tardy arrival is a Doctors note.
6. Attendance Expectation Generally: Future Professionals must maintain a 100% attendance  average each month in order to complete the program by the expected/calculated completion date. The school attendance policy requires 85% to maintain satisfactory progress. Falling below this number means that the Future Professional may receive a coaching on the advisory form for their attendance.
7. CORE/Protege Attendance Expectation: Future Professionals attend Core/Protege for the first weeks of enrollment. During this time the Future Professional must maintain a monthly attendance of 90%. If at the conclusion of the month, the Future Professional's progress report does not meet 90% attendance, the Future Professional may be dropped from the program and may be asked to re-enroll in  the next Core class start date.
8. Future Professionals are required to be in attendance and actively participating in their education. When a Future Professional is scheduled for attendance but not present, these will be reflected as absent hours. If a Future Professional does not clock in  or out properly resulting in the hours not being counted, these will be reflected in the absent hours unless the missing time form and necessary documentation is provided as outlined in the catalog.
9. If a Future Professional is absent refer to the school make-up hour policy on how to make-up those hours. Please keep in mind make-up hours and policies are optional for the school to provide and may be changed.
10. Future Professionals will receive clock hours during the times they fully participate in their learning experience.
11. Vacation and Planned Time Away (e.g. medical appointments, outside commitments): Future Professionals must request planned time off from school the Future Professional Advisor and the Financial Services Leader. The approval of  any request does not mean that the Future Professional will continue to meet the attendance requirements.
12. Unplanned Absences or Tardies: Future Professionals who are late or cannot attend school must contact the school and talk to the school service desk team immediately. Day Future Professional must call in by 9:00 a.m.; night Future Professionals must call in by 1:30 p.m.
13. Lunch and breaks are scheduled for all Future Professionals. All full-time Future Professionals are required to take a 30-minute lunch break. Future Professionals should communicate with their Learning Leader if they have not had lunch by 1:30 p.m. Part-time Future Professional will take a 15-minutes break as scheduled by school administration.

Observe the appropriate breaks for your school schedule. Breaks are as follows:

12. Documentation of time: Future Professionals may not leave the school premises during regular hours without a Learning Leader's permission.
