Attendance and Registration Policy
Effective fall 2007, all participants registered for a course are required
to attend the first day. Participants who do not attend the first class of a course for which they are
registered, and who have not contacted the Schultz Center Registrar to indicate their intent, will be
dropped from the course. Participants having extenuating circumstances beyond their control and who
are unable to attend the first day of a course must notify the Schultz Center two days prior to the
beginning of a course at (904) 348-5700.
Participants must start and finish all
training within the time requirements. As a result, participants,
who for any reason were unable to complete training and desire
to return, will be remediated to the first day of the next available
session. All online registrations close one week prior to the
start date of the course. |
Late Registration
| For participants intending to join a course which began at an earlier date,
please call The Schultz Center Registrar. Late registration depends upon the availability of seats within
a course, the percentage of classes previously missed by the participant, and the discretion of the instructor. Please
note that late registration will not be permitted if the participant has missed more than twenty percent of the course.
|
Instructional Materials Policy
| Instructional materials required for Schultz Center training programs will be distributed
at the first day of a training session. Participants will be responsible for the upkeep and return of the materials
at the end of the training session. The failure to return instructional materials will result in the withholding of
credit hours for course completion or require reimbursement fees for materials.
|
Religious Observance
| Participants, upon prior notification to their instructors, shall be excused
from a class to observe a religious holy day of their faith. Participants will be permitted a realistic
amount of time to make up the work covered in their absence and will not be penalized due to a religious observance absence.
|
Absences and Early Departures
| A registered participant’s school principal will be notified due to continual absences or early
departures from a course. School principals can track participant’s attendance online and will be able to view individual
records. The Schultz Center recognizes the right to make attendance mandatory. After due warning, instructors can prohibit
further attendance and subsequently assign an incomplete or failing grade for excessive absences, habitual tardiness or early
departures. Continual early departures contribute to an overall lack of training cohesiveness.
|
Community Education
All community education participants at the Schultz Center will be assessed a fee
for training courses. Community Education participants are defined as individuals who are not currently employed
by Duval County Public Schools (DCPS). All fees are based upon the number of training hours. Participants/Organizations
attending courses that are not currently DCPS employees but under contract with the Schultz Center and/or DCPS are not
considered Community Education Participants and will not pay fees.
Tuition payments for courses are expected in full one week prior to the start date of a course.
A participant is not considered officially registered and may not attend course sessions until fees are paid. Participants
who do not pay tuition and fees by the end of the established payment deadline will be dropped from courses. A dropped status
resulting from non-payment forbids participants to attend or receive credits for courses.
It is important for all community education participants to ensure they have an active email address
as well as a current home address to receive communication from the Schultz Center.
To avoid any and all fees, participants must drop courses one week prior to the course start date.
The Schultz Center will invoice all registered community education participants who do not pay electronically, via PayPal
or by submitting payment via mail or in person.
