Students can enroll at any time during the year. Class starting dates are scheduled throughout the year to enable students to start moving toward their career goals when they are ready. Class size is limited so that each student can receive the personal attention so vital to successful mastery of the skills and understanding of the subject at hand. A typical classroom at our campus can accommodate up to 30 students and a typical laboratory at our campus can accommodate up to 30 students.

The school reserves the right to alter hours of attendance and/or starting dates when deemed necessary. Such changes will not alter the program costs or refund policy stated in the enrollment agreement. If conditions beyond the control of the school require postponement of a starting date or temporary suspension of classes, appropriate adjustments will be made to provide students all the instruction to which they are entitled under the terms of the enrollment agreement. Students who have enrolled but have not started attending school will, upon request, be issued a refund of monies paid if postponement of classes extends beyond the next class starting date.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ´óÈ« Tech School Calendar

Program start dates run on a rolling schedule set by the campus administration. Available seats in a new class are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. New class starts begin on an approximate monthly basis for most programs. The Catalog Addendum lists the start dates for the calendar year.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ´óÈ« Tech Class Hours

What Is the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ´óÈ« Tech Attendance Policy?

This is a summary of East Point’s Attendance Policy as of January 21, 2024. The Catalog and its addendum (if applicable) will always reflect the current policy. Please review the catalog and addendum to determine if any updates have been made. The catalog can be found here.

The technical nature of the training and graduate employability goals of the programs offered requires that students attend classes on a regular basis. Our expectation is that students will attend all sessions for courses in which they are registered. Class attendance is monitored daily commencing with the student's first official day of attendance and a student will be considered withdrawn from a course or courses when any of the following criteria are met:

• The fourteenth consecutive calendar day of absence (two weeks) with the exception of published holidays and breaks.
• Cumulative absences prevent the student's ability to master the course content during the remainder of the scheduled course, term, or semester as determined by the course syllabus.

Approved employment interviews (established per school policy) are not counted as absences for attendance purposes.

Students receiving funds from any state agency may be subject to the additional attendance requirements of that specific agency.

A Pending Course Schedule (PCS) student status is a temporary period of non-attendance not to exceed a maximum of 60 calendar days. The status is intended to support student progression and is applied when a student has a course that is not available due to, but not limited to, interruption in their enrollment because of a course failure, a shift change, a leave of absence, or failure to meet graduation requirement. The PCS status is not included in the 150% maximum time frame calculation.

Note: Calendar day calculations include all days visible on a calendar without exception.

Attendance for Blended Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ´óÈ« (where applicable)

Blended courses consist of both classroom and online instruction. Students are expected to adhere to the attendance policy through physical attendance in scheduled class sessions AND through online graded assignments submitted weekly. Timeframes for weekly online submissions are designed in the Canvas Course Shell (i.e. Sunday - Saturday). Threaded discussions and reflection exercises are examples of graded assignments used to record weekly attendance for the online portion.

Sending an email to the instructor does not count as an academic activity or a gradable item. Meeting the attendance requirements does not indicate that the student has completed all of the required class work for a particular week. Meeting the attendance requirements indicates only that the student has participated sufficiently to be considered in attendance for that week. Assignments are graded on their merit and according to the established guidelines.

Make-Up

Upon return to school following an absence, students are required to turn in any work that was due while they were absent in order to receive up to the original 100% credit. A reduction in credit for make-up work will be applied to all late submissions based on the following criteria:

• Up to 90% credit for all work turned in up to one week late from the date of your return.
• Up to 80% credit for all work turned in up to two weeks late from the date of your return.
• Any work turned in after two weeks late will receive a grade of 0%.

Availability for make-up on high stakes assessments (e. g. midterms and final exams) may be limited, and the date and time of make up on high stakes assessments must be agreed upon by faculty. Regardless of the time frames referenced above, all work must be completed in a timely manner in order to process final grades, grade appeals and/or to resolve incomplete grades.

Any exceptions due to extenuating circumstances are managed at the discretion of the Director of Education and/or the Campus President. Documentation may be required to justify extenuating circumstances.

In the case of school closure due to inclement weather or other natural disaster, make-up sessions will be scheduled to present and/ or review material not incorporated into the remaining scheduled days. The campus will attempt to schedule make-up classes at times that fit within the students' schedule.

What is the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ´óÈ« Tech Dress Code?

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ´óÈ« Tech requires the student to wear industry-standard uniforms for their respective program. The cost of uniforms is included in the student’s tuition. Uniforms vary by program.

How Do I Obtain Transcripts?

Following a review by the School, grade reports (unofficial transcripts and/or degree audits) are issued to the student upon completion of each course or term on the student portal. Individual grade records are permanently maintained for each Student and are open for inspection in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. The student will receive an official transcript upon graduation. Requests for official transcripts while in school or additional copies of official transcripts after graduation or replacement diplomas/degrees can be requested through our Request A Transcript page.
