Progress
Policy
We
will give progress evaluations to help the student see if he/she
is making satisfactory progress to the point of being able to complete
all subject matter within the allotted time provided. For the six-week
class the grading period will be at the end of two weeks and the
last day of class. For the two-week class the grading period is
at the end of the Class.
Graduation
On
the last day of class there will be two types of tests given: 1.
Written, which will be 30% of the overall grade; 2. Evaluation of
specimen work, which will be 70% of overall grade. Tests are graded
on a scale of 1-100: A = 90-100; B = 80-89; C = 70=79; D = 60-69;
and below 60 = F.
Upon
passing his/her tests, the student will receive a framed certificate
showing that he/she completed the taxidermy training. We do not
provide placement assistance.
Copies
of test scores will be furnished to students upon request. Records
of test scores and student progress will be kept by the school.
Failure
of any test prior to final week of the course shall result in student
being placed on probation for a period of one week. Student will
be given an opportunity to retake the test at the end of probation
week. Failure to achieve a passing score on the retake of a test
shall result in dismissal from the school and readmission will not
be granted. Such dismissal shall be considered a cancellation
of the student Enrollment Agreement and the student shall be entitled
to a partial refund (if prior to the fourth quarter of the course)
according to policies set forth under "Refund
Policy".
After completing the class you are enrolled in, framed Diplomas
will be awarded to each student
Conduct
Policy
Unsatisfactory
conduct shall be cause for dismissal after two warnings by the school
for unacceptable conduct in the classroom. Grounds for dismissal
include: disruptive behavior, vulgar language, stealing, or malicious
damage to school property. Readmission may be permitted by the school
if the school has determined that the student has had a change in
attitude, but he/she will be on probation for the duration of class.
