Academic Policies
Grading Policy
Part time, professional development programs are graded on a Pass/Fail basis. Grading is based on adequate attendance and the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s performance. The instructor’s evaluation is based on the student’s class participation, performance on class projects, exercises and assignments and comprehension of the materials presented. Students enrolled in part time, professional development programs will successfully complete the program upon receiving a “Pass” grade and upon achieving 80% attendance. Students enrolled in other courses or programs will not receive grades. These students will successfully complete a course or program upon achieving 80% attendance.
Certificate of Completion
Upon the successful completion of a course or program at Skypro Professional Training Center, students will receive a Certificate of Training. Certificates are generally distributed on the last day of class. Students are given assessments throughout the duration of the course from time-to-time as determined by the instructor to indicate participation and proof of progress in the course. The assessments are not mandatory to complete the course; however, they are helpful to indicate attendance, understanding, and learning. Please contact your instructor with questions about the assessments. Unless otherwise noted, assessments will be available within the Blackboard classroom.
Attendenace Policy
Instructors shall record daily class attendance. Students must attend 80% of class to successfully complete their course/program. If students attending a course or program at Skypro Professional Training Center facility miss a class, they must notify the instructor in advance and make arrangements to make up the material. If students taking an online course miss a class, they may view the recording of the class on Blackboard, which will be posted within 24 hours after the conclusion of the class. This viewing will be considered proof of attendance. It is the responsibility of the student to make up materials missed during class. Full time, vocational programs have more specific attendance requirements. These will be documented in the programs’ Enrollment Agreement.
Leave of Absence Policy
On occasion, for personal or professional reasons, students must interrupt their training. Skypro Professional Training Center, in its discretion, may attempt to work with students to allow them a leave of absence while still enabling them to complete their course/program. If students are interested in taking a leave of absence, they should put their request in writing, explicitly setting forth the reason for the requested leave, and submit this request to pinengite@skyprotraining.com.
Audit Privileges
If students have successfully completed a course/program and have fulfilled all financial obligations, they may audit this same course/program for a period of one year after their original course/program start date. The audit privilege is not applicable towards other courses of study. This privilege is extended on a space-available/stand-by basis only and cannot be confirmed until the start of the class that will be audited. If students do not successfully complete their course (60% completion required), audit privileges will not be extended. Please note that if Skypro Professional Training Center does not offer the course that the student previously completed, the student will not be able to audit another course in its place. The Audit Policy is only applicable to training that is provided by Skypro Professional Training Center's and does not apply to training that may be resold or hosted for a partner or third party training institution. Students must register to audit before the start of the desired course. Please contact an Admissions Representative at info@skyprotraining.com to register to audit a course or to get information on possible dates to audit a course. Please note: If the course material changes or there is an upgrade in the program, students who audit are responsible for purchasing any new materials.
Academic Records
Students have the right to review their academic records. If students would like to review their files or would like to request a transcript for full time vocational programs or a copy of their Certificate of Training for part time vocational programs, they should contact or submit an inquiry to info@skyprotraining.com.
