Attendance
Full attendance for the designated clock hours for each course is required to receive a certificate of completion. Absences may be made up the next time a course is offered, space permitting. Students who miss more than 15 minutes of an hour will be required to make up the entire hour during another course, space permitting. Hours may not be transferred from other schools nor from self-paced learning. Students have one year (12 months) from the date of original class start date to comply with AREC regulations obtaining the sixty (60) clock hours or the student will be dropped and need to complete the course again.
