SAP Academic Requirements: The qualitative measure for satisfactory progress is determined by
achievement in theory and in practical work. All students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade
average of 75% of combined theory and in practical for each evaluation period.

Impact of Exam Re-take or Practical Re-do on Satisfactory Progress:
It is the student’s responsibility to make up any examinations that were missed due to absence or failing
grades. Failed exams/practical’s may be re-taken/re-done within the same phase/segment of the Program.
If re-taken/re-done the maximum score shall be recorded as a 75%. The re-take score shall be used when
determining the cumulative average and thus the student’s satisfactory progress status.

SAP Attendance Requirements: All students are required to attend regularly. Failure to do so may result
in failure to meet satisfactory standards and/or termination. The student must maintain a minimum
cumulative attendance average of 70% during each official evaluation period in order to be considered to
be meeting the satisfactory progress standard.
Attendance will be monitored at least monthly in order to determine unofficial withdrawals and in order
to provide advising to students who may be progressing below the standards set forth by the school.
All absences other than those covered by an approved leave of absence or official closure/holiday periods
shall be recorded as such and shall be used in the determination of the student’s cumulative attendance
average and satisfactory progress status.
According to state requirements, students are required to complete all hours as mandated for the
program or as required by the school whichever is greater. There are no official excused absences.
Therefore, students who are absent must make up the hours missed.

*** When a student falls below 60% SAP (minimum SAP is 70%) the student will be charged a $100.00 a
month fee. If the $100.00 a month fee is not taken care of and if the student does not improve on
attendance the student can be dropped from their program. The monthly fee will stop once the student
returns to a good standing in SAP. 70% attendance

Maximum Time frame Determination: Branford Academy requires students to progress through
their program toward graduation within a set and standard time frame. Based upon the school’s
requirement for 70% attendance, the maximum time frame during which students are to complete
any program is 143% of the published program length. This quantitative measure of progress
will be reviewed. Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress as follows. Actual
