Tardiness and Absences Policy

Regular attendance is crucial to successful completion and personal development. Due to the intensity of the training, and the personal development taught in our school, all students must maintain regular class attendance. Failure to meet required attendance may result in non issuance of certifications. All students are required to contact NIT if they are unable to attend class for any reason. Unexcused, consistent tardiness or absences will result in dismissal. All absences are unexcused unless prior arrangements were made with NIT staff. Students who have an illness during class, which prevents his/her attendance, may be subject to a refund in accordance with the enrollment contract. Additionally, the student may be rescheduled into another class, providing an opening exists. These two conditions will be considered only if the student can provide written documentation from an attending physician that justifies a continued absence. NIT reserves the right to further investigate any claims of illness. In the event the documentation is not received within one day of absence or the documentation does not satisfy NIT’s administration, the student will be expelled.

Our policy pertaining to tardiness and absences is as follows:

2 weeks/80 hour or less Training Programs

1. Third day of absence will result in termination from courses two weeks or 80 hours in length.
2. The third tardy, either at the beginning of each day or returning from lunch or both will result in termination from NIT courses two weeks or 80 hours in length.

4 week/ over 160 hour Training Programs

1. Fourth day of absence will result in termination from courses four weeks or longer.
2. Fourth tardy, either at the beginning of each day or returning from lunch or both will result in termination from NIT courses. It is not fair to disrupt the class or fellow students and will not be tolerated.
