At the School of Adult Education, we believe that consistent attendance and active participation are key to student success. Being present and on time for every class is not just a requirement; it reflects your commitment to your goals and respect for your learning community.

Be Present and Be on Time

We require all students to arrive on time and remain engaged for the full duration of each class. This includes computer lab sessions, which are an essential part of the instructional day.

  • Arriving late, leaving early, or stepping out during instruction for more than 15 minutes will result in being marked absent.
  • Students may miss up to five class meetings per term. A sixth absence will result in withdrawal from the program.

If you are experiencing challenges that may affect your ability to attend class consistently, please speak with your instructor or a staff member. We are here to support you and help you stay on track.

CASAS Testing: A Step Toward Your Progress

To ensure we are supporting your learning effectively, CASAS testing is required for all students:

  • Once you reach 70 instructional hours, you must complete CASAS testing before reaching 100 hours.
  • Failure to complete testing before reaching 100 hours will result in withdrawal from the program.
