Course Retake Policy (Includes Retaking Courses, Postponement, and Leave of Absence)

Course Retake Policy

Policy for Retaking Courses

Students may be required to retake a course or work experience under the following circumstances:

1. Failure to meet attendance requirements.
2. Academic failure in the course.
3. Approved leave request.

Students must pay the required retake course fee to re-enroll. However, the college does not guarantee that the required course will be available in the immediate future.

Postponement or Leave from a Current Course

Students considering postponing a course or taking a leave of absence are strongly encouraged to consult with their Instructor and/or the Director of Education before making a decision. Some courses have prerequisites, and postponing one course may affect the ability to progress in the program.

The college does not guarantee that a required course for a program will be available in the near future.

Leave of Absence / Change of Status

Students must complete a “Change of Status” form for the following reasons:

1. Requesting a leave of absence at any time.
2. Inability to complete the program.

Certain programs may have regulatory requirements that impact a student’s leave of absence. The Senior Education Administrator (SEA) and the Director of Education review decisions regarding leave requests on a case-by-case basis.

The student will receive a written decision approving or denying the request. If approved, an agreement outlining a plan of action will be offered to the student.
