Requirements for hybrid program participation
Regular attendance is essential for successful completion of your program. Elevate for Humanity programs use hybrid delivery, combining online coursework with in-person instruction. This policy outlines attendance requirements for both components.
Attendance is measured by:
Attendance is measured by:
Students must maintain a minimum of 80% attendance in both online and in-person components to remain in good standing and be eligible for program completion.
Example: For a program with 100 scheduled in-person hours, students must attend at least 80 hours. For online coursework, students must complete at least 80% of assigned modules and activities.
Programs that require specific clock hours for certification or licensing (such as Barber Apprenticeship with 2,000 hours) must complete 100% of required hours. These hours are tracked separately and reported to relevant licensing boards.
The Learning Management System (LMS) automatically tracks:
In-person attendance is documented through:
The following may be considered excused absences with proper documentation:
Note: Excused absences still count toward the attendance calculation but may be eligible for make-up work.
Absences without prior approval or documentation are considered unexcused. Three consecutive unexcused absences from in-person sessions will trigger an attendance warning.
Arriving more than 15 minutes late to an in-person session is considered tardy. Three tardies equal one absence for attendance calculation purposes.
Students who fall behind on online coursework may request an extension by contacting their instructor. Extensions are granted at the instructor's discretion and typically do not exceed 7 days.
Make-up sessions for missed in-person training may be available depending on:
Make-up sessions must be completed within 14 days of the original session. Contact your program coordinator to arrange make-up work.
Students whose attendance falls below 85% will receive a written warning. The warning will include:
Students whose attendance falls below 80% will be placed on attendance probation. During probation, students must meet with their program coordinator to develop an attendance improvement plan.
Students may be administratively withdrawn from the program if:
Students withdrawn for non-attendance may be eligible for re-enrollment in a future cohort. See the Refund Policy for financial implications of withdrawal.
Students who believe their attendance record is inaccurate or who have extenuating circumstances may appeal attendance-related decisions through the Grievance Process.
Appeals must be submitted in writing within 5 business days of receiving an attendance warning, probation notice, or withdrawal notification.
Effective Date: January 2026
