Attendance Policy:

Attendance and punctuality is mandatory. During the first 10 class days, all students are probationary. Any incident (absence or tardy) will result in a write-up and two more weeks of probation (with no additional absences allowed) or immediate dismissal. While on probation, a second absence will automatically result in termination. After clearing probation, students may miss up to 15.0 hours (the equivalent of 3 full days or 3 classes) throughout the remainder of the program. However, JARC strongly advises students not to incur any absences as many of our lead companies will only interview students with perfect attendance records. The Program Coordinator must be informed by the student of any absence (tardy, partial or full). Failure to do so is considered a “No Call/ No Show” and is grounds for immediate dismissal. Missing a training day counts as one (1.0) absence, a tardy or partial missed day is counted as half (0.5) an absence.

JARC may allow students to make up missed classes; this is at the discretion of the Lead Instructor.

Rules of Conduct:

Common courtesy is expected. Sunglasses, headphones and hats (unless approved by JARC staff) should be removed and cell phones are to be turned off during class. Foul language is strongly prohibited.

Safety is of primary concern. Behaviors that threaten the safety of self or others are seriously problematic. In particular, using, possessing, distributing, or being under the influence of controlled substances- alcoholic beverages, marijuana, narcotic drugs, stimulants, etc. is strictly forbidden.

Per OSHA safety requirements, all students are required to wear long pants, close toed shoes or steel toed boots (when appropriate) while inside the training center. Safety glasses and other personal protective equipment, as instructed by staff, are required to be worn in the training area.

Any behavior that disturbs our environment is grounds for termination. Verbal and physically fighting, threats, and harassment are prohibited. Cheating, stealing, abusing school or classmates’ property and sleeping in class also violate the rules of conduct.

Educational Records:

JARC maintains records of students’ previous education and experience and grants exemption from certain coursework based on that previous education or experience. This is done on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Lead Instructor. All educational records are recorded in JARC’s client database, Salesforce.
