11AdmissionsInformationNormal Time to CompleteStudents should have a reasonable expectation of the time it should take to complete a program in order to plan and budgetaccordingly. Program lengths for full time and part time schedules are stated in weeks and include estimated days the schoolis closed for holidays, teacher training, special events, inclement weather and a limited number of days scheduled to allowstudents to make up missed hours as necessary for state licensing purposes.When calculating and disclosing normal time to complete and On Time Completion Rates, the number of days scheduled tomake up absence is limited to 10% of scheduled hours. For example, if a student is scheduled to attend class 7 hours per day andis enrolled in a1000 credit program, the number of days scheduled to make up absence would be determined by dividing 100(10% of the hours in the program) by 7 (number of hours scheduled per day), or 15 days.Students are permitted to make up additional absence in order to graduate, as long as they do not exceed the maximum timeframe as described in the school’s satisfactory progress policy, but they would not be counted as graduating within normal timefor purposes of the calculation and disclosure of On Time Completion Rates in Addendum B to the catalog.
