Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled class meetings. Students are encouraged to tell their instructor in advance or to call the administrative office if they will be absent.
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled class meetings. Students are encouraged to tell their instructor in advance or to call the administrative office if they will be absent. Missing more than 15% of class time may result in the student failing that course.
Instructors may request an academic review board for students whose absences from class interfere with their ability to meet course objectives. Action may include failing the course, probation, or suspension. If a pattern of excessive absences is noticed, a review board may be conducted as well. Students who fail a course for attendance issues will be assigned a grade of "F" for that course. Documentation is required for all excused/ approved absences. Providing documentation does not remove an absence from attendance records, but allows makeup work to be completed. Whenever students believe their attendance record is in error, a written request challenging the error may be submitted to the Education Director within three weeks of the end of the course.
PERFECT ATTENDANCE - Students who miss no class time will be recognized at graduation and will receive a Perfect Attendance Certificate *and Pin.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
In order to be eligible for financial aid and continue attending ATI, a student must be enrolled on at least a half-time basis in a diploma program. Students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress (SAP) within a maximum allowable time frame toward the completion of their program.
An evaluation period is used to determine academic progress. At the end of an evaluation period, a student who is not making satisfactory progress in accordance with the Academic Progress Table below will be suspended from attendance. Students whose GPA meet the requirements below but whose GPA does not meet the next evaluation point will be placed on academic probation until the next point. At the end of a probation period, students who are unsuccessful in achieving academic progress in accordance with this table will lose financial aid eligibility and will be academically suspended from ATI.
If students have questions about SAP they should contact their program coordinator, Registrar, or Director of Education.

Students must also complete their program within a maximum time frame of 150% of the normal program length. Students who reach this point without completing the program will be suspended from attending Advanced Technology Institute.
In order to re-establish eligibility for Financial Aid, students must appeal their academic termination by requesting an Academic Review Board (ARB). Advanced Technology Institute recognizes that unusual circumstances may exist such as medical emergencies, work conflict, and other crises in a student's life. An Academic Review Board may recommend that the student is making satisfactory academic progress even though the student does not meet the GPA or credit completion standard. These circumstances must be documented.
Students are notified with a grade report or e-mail upon completion of each term. Students receiving a failing grade may request tutoring/advising from their instructor or academic department head. An incomplete becomes a failure if not completed within three weeks unless otherwise approved by an instructor, academic department head, or academic review board.
