TRANSFER CREDITS
Transfer Credit is always at the discretion of the receiving school. Huntingdon County CTC will evaluate the education of students interested in one of our programs and determine if appropriate transfer credit could be given. The length of the program will be decreased accordingly and the clock hours will be reported to the VA.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Daily attendance at the HCCTC is an important issue, if students want to achieve optimal success in their training. In Business and Industry, excessive absences could result in the loss of a job. In most programs work missed is difficult to make up due to the nature of career and technical education. Furthermore, a students' poor attendance could prevent that student from continuing at the Career and Technology Center.
In the end, overall student evaluation is based on many factors, including attendance. Recommendation for work education or permanent employment could be contingent upon an acceptable record of attendance.
Procedures:
- All Students will enter through the front doors of the Main Building.
- All students will sign in and out in the main office.
- If a student is absent, they must notify the Adult Education office & submit an excuse to the Office.
- REASONS FOR EXCUSED ABSENCES
- Illness verified by a doctor’s or dentist’s excuse, including his/her signature.
- Death in the family (maximum of three days without doctor’s excuse).
- Medical appointments which cannot be scheduled during non-school hours.
- Religious holidays as designated by the Department of Education.
- Court order
ILLEGAL/UNEXCUSED ABSENCES/CLASS CUTS
Sleeping in, helping at home, child care, running errands, shopping, disapproved trips and outings, and all other absences are not classified as excused.
INTERUPTION FOR UNSTATISFACTORY ATTENDANCE
Financial Provider will be notified if student has been absent for three (3) or more illegal days. Students that acquire ten (10) total unexcused absences and NOT making Academic Progress are subject to dismissal.
ARRIVING LATE TO THE HCCTC/ TARDINESS
Students arriving late are asked to notify the Adult Ed office and sign in at the main office upon arrival.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Students requesting a leave of absence longer than the 3 day period required for a Doctors Excuse, must submit the request in writing to the Adult Education Coordinator at least one day prior to the requested start date of the absence. A meeting will then be scheduled to review the current status of performance if the students wished to return to the program.
STUDENT WITHDRAW & REFUND POLICY
Refunds for Students Who Withdraw On or Before the First Day of Class
If a student fails to commence class or withdraws from class on the first day of school, the school will retain no more than $30 of pre-paid tuition or fees. Students are not required to request that any prepaid tuition and fees in excess of the first $30 be refunded. Refunds of pre-paid tuition and fees in excess of $30 occur automatically and shall be made within 30 days of the planned start date of the class.
School Fee Refund Schedule (Self-pay only)

GRADING
The Huntingdon County Career and Technology Center will issue grades at the end of each nine weeks. Instructors will supply information to students at the beginning of the school year about the HCCTC grading policy and their individual policy. School policy suggests that student evaluation reflect the following:
- Copies of the POS task list will be issued to the instructor for each student.
- Test grades can be maintained by the instructor in the classroom
- The task list will be the record of progression for the Adult Ed office.
- Instructors must initial and date the task lists identifying when the adult student demonstrates a proficiency in that specific task.
- Successful progress for adult students have been identified as the following:
- Achieving 25 % of the list by Mid Semester 1
- Achieving 50% of the list by End Semester 1
- Achieving 75 % of the list by Mid Semester 2
- Achieving 100% of the list by End Semester 2
MAKE-UP WORK –
Students who are legally absent for any reason will be required to make up work missed in class. This work should take approximately the same time as the time missed from class (plus one additional day). A day’s absence does not excuse a student from the responsibility of work assigned prior to the absence. It is the responsibility of each student to arrange with his/her teacher to make up any missed work during absences. Any work not made up will be counted as a zero (0) and averaged in with other grades.
NOTE: Students with a cumulative failing grade will be excluded from field trips, conferences and student youth organization competitions.

CONDUCT POLICIES
It is important that the Huntingdon County Career and Technology Center promote a learning climate to help develop Job Skills compatible with the atmosphere found in a productive workplace.

The administration retains discretionary authority to adjust discipline consequences in accordance with the particular circumstances of an offense.
