Credits

• Students must fulfill all the course requirements as established by the summer school faculty.

• Students are not to exceed the allowable limit of absences as established by the summer school attendance policy.

• Students are not removed from the Summer School program due to discipline related issues.

PLEASE NOTE – Any student who fails to return his/her textbooks at the end of summer school shall not receive a report card or credit for the course until books are returned or payment for books is made.  This also applies if students have any other debts owed to the Academy.

Summer School Policies

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

At the Academy, the learning experiences that take place in the classroom environment are considered to be meaningful and essential parts of the educational structure.  Time lost from class is intrinsically irretrievable, particularly in terms of opportunity for interaction and exchange of ideas between students and teachers.  Therefore, classroom attendance is an integral part of the student’s course of study.

Only two (2) absences from any one class will be allowed. Any tardy or absence from class beyond two absences will result in no credit and no refund for the course.  Absences may be acquired in the following ways:

• Any student who is tardy to class within the first 15 minutes will be marked as tardy.  A student is considered tardy if he/she is not in the classroom by the time the second bell rings.

• Two (2) tardies within the first 15 minutes to any given class will count as one (1) full-day absence.

• Students tardy to class more than 15 minutes will be marked as a full-day absence.

• Sleeping in class will count as 1/2 to a full-day absence. The amount of absence will be determined by the classroom teacher.

• Removal for disciplinary reasons will result in a full-day absence.

PLEASE NOTE – A student cannot exceed two (2) full-day absences.  If a student accumulates more than 2 absences (for any reason), credit will be denied and tuition payment will not be refunded.  A student may not be absent on the last day of classes due to the final examination schedule. 

DISCIPLINE and DRESS POLICY:

All rules outlined in the NFA student handbook will apply to all summer school students.

Fighting, possession of weapons, and possession of/or use/ sale of drugs will result in immediate dismissal from Summer School, police action, and NO REFUND.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO ATTENDANCE, SMOKING, PARKING, CLOTHING, BEEPERS, HEADPHONES, CELL PHONES AND DISCIPLINE WILL RESULT IN SUSPENSION.  REPEAT VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM CLASS AND LOSS OF ALL FEES.
