Students must be in good health. CPR & First Aide require strenuous effort on the part of the student. Certification requirements are provided by the various provider organizations. It is possible for the student to pass this course and not gain American Heart Association
Students are expected to be on time for and attend class sessions. If unavoidable circumstances arise and you must miss class, the instructor must be notified in advance. If the instructor has pre-approved and excused an absence, an opportunity will be provided, at the instructor's convenience, for the material to be made up. All make-up work should be done as soon before or after the absence as possible.
B= 80-89%
C= 70-79%
D= 60-69%
F <60%
Absences that occur due to students participating in official
college activities are excused except in those cases where outside bodies, such
as the State Board of Nursing, have requirements for minimum class minutes for
each student. Students who are excused will be given reasonable opportunity to
make up any missed work or receive substitute assignments from the instructor
and should not be penalized for the absence.
Proper procedure should be followed in notifying faculty in advance of
the student’s planned participation in the event. Ultimately it is the student’s responsibility
to notify the instructor in advance of the planned absence.
Unless students are participating in a school activity or are excused by the instructor,
they are expected to attend class. If a
student’s absences exceed one-hundred (100) minutes per credit hour for the
course or, in the case of on-line or other non-traditional courses, the student
is inactive for one-eighth of the total course duration, the instructor has the
right, but is not required, to withdraw a student from the course. Once the student has been dropped for
excessive absences, the registrar’s office will send a letter to the student,
stating that he or she has been dropped.
A student may petition the chief academic officer for reinstatement by
submitting a letter stating valid reasons for the absences within one week of
the registrar’s notification. If the
student is reinstated into the class, the instructor and the registrar will be
notified.
