In compliance with the above New Jersey regulation, attendance in a remote learning classroom requires that your camera be on and that you be fully in its line of sight for at least 80% of each lecture. That is equivalent to at least four (4) out of five (5) hours. If these remote learning requirements are not met, you will be marked absent for that class session. All classes start on time. If a student is more than fifteen (15) minutes late to a class at the start of after a break, that time will be deducted from the student’s course hours stated previously. If a student does not meet the hours requirement for the class in which they enrolled, they may sit in on a future class for $10.00 fee to make their course hours requirement.
School records are maintained by the school and are available for a period of at least five (5) years.
