GROUND SCHOOL FINAL EXAM/FAA KNOWLEDGE TEST DEADLINES AND COMPLETION
Successful completion of knowledge tests is a key requirement for staying on schedule and allowing grades to be entered at the appropriate time.
Each ground school course associated with an FAA Knowledge Test will have a Knowledge Test deadline. The date of that deadline will be communicated to students in the syllabus and on the first day of class. In most cases, the deadline will be the end date of the semester. Any student who has not provided proof of a knowledge test score by the deadline will be assigned a grade of “0” for that task in the ground school course. Grades will not be changed after that date.
If multiple test attempts are necessary, the grade entered in the ground school course will be an average of the scores from all attempts made before the deadline.
ATTENDANCE
If a student is unable to attend a class for health or other legitimate emergency reasons, the instructor may grant permission to attend via electronic means, or she/he may grant permission to accomplish course tasks through asynchronous assignments. Such arrangements shall be requested by the affected student, and must be approved by the instructor, as far in advance of the scheduled class day/time as possible.
Failure to achieve prior approval shall result in a non-attendance being classified as an absence. If a student is absent for three consecutive sessions in face-to-face and/or online classes and is unresponsive to communication from the Undergraduate Program Assistant, he or she may be administratively withdrawn from the LOMV program.LOM program.
Vacation Planning: Students in the Aviation program are expected to attend classes year round. This means that students should remain mindful of the attendance policy, especially when planning for vacation. If an unavoidable scheduling conflict arises, students must notify their instructor at least 30 days prior to the scheduled event. It will remain up to the instructor to decide whether or not the student may attend class via electronic means, or if it is appropriate to assign additional asynchronous course work. Failure to achieve instructor approval shall result in non-attendance being classified as an absence.
