The college s main telephone number is (609) The aviation department secretary may be reached at (609) The chief factors that will influence your grade are your attendance, participation and timely completion of assignments. Since we are an FAA-approved pilot school, there are no excused absences. All work missed due to absences must be made up. See your instructor for make-ups. You are required to attend ground classes for FAA certification. 3. For college grading purposes, if you are absent three (3) times, your grade will be lowered one letter value. Additional absences will result in further lowering of your grade or an instructor-initiated withdrawal. 4. You are required to take all unit tests and the final examination at the campus Testing Center. Each unit test must be taken by the deadline date and have a valid score of 84% or better. If you have taken the unit test before the deadline date and scored below 84%, you will have one week to retake the unit test and achieve a score of 84% or better. You are limited to three (3) chances per unit test to attain a score of 84% or better. All unit tests are averaged and represent 30% of your final grade. 5. Test extensions should be avoided. Taking the unit test on time is your responsibility. The first test extension will result in lowering your total grade by 5 points. The second test extension will result in limiting your grade to a B. The third test extension will limit your grade to a C. The instructor may opt to withdraw your name from the class roster or not permit additional test extensions if you begin to have difficulty with numerous retakes of unit examinations and test extensions. 6.
