ABM College commits to adapting reasonable procedures to ensure students have the opportunity to successfully complete their studies. The college maintains a professional setting by assuring a safe, respectable, and fair environment for all students and staff members.

Students and staff are required to support the academic and ethical standards of ABM College. Violations of the policies and standards may be subjected to suspension and/or expulsion under the conditions of inadequate performance and unacceptable actions.

Student Attendance and Academic Policy:

• Punctual and regular attendance in class is mandatory to ensure an optimal learning environment at ABM College. Classes are intended to be interactive and participative.

• If there are any extenuating circumstances concerning a student’s absence, the instructor or office staff should be notified as soon as possible.

• It is the student’s responsibility to review the course material prior to class to develop an understanding of the background knowledge with our course curriculum. Students will be accountable for learning any missed material due to absence.

• Students are expected to complete assignments in the time allowed by instructors. Assignments are to be completed individually. There is a zero tolerance policy at ABM College regarding plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty or plagiarism will result in an automatic zero in the assignment or exam.

• Daily attendance is taken by instructors. Student absences are taken seriously at ABM College. Absences lasting for more than two consecutive days must be accompanied by a valid reason with the proper documentation. A reasonable excuse for an absence must describe circumstances requiring the student’s absence (e.g. medical, family emergency, etc.). The inability to provide a valid reason or documentation may result in expulsion from the college. ABM College will seek to be consistent and reasonable in its approach to determine the parameters of a valid reason for any absences.

• Section 6(c) of the Alberta Institution Designation Agreement (AIDA) states educational institutions are required to consider a student with student loans as withdrawn if they have not attended class for five consecutive days without an excused absence. The school must consider the student as withdrawn (for the purpose of student funding) and notify AET of the withdrawal. The effective date of the student’s withdrawal is the first of the five days that the student was absent.

• The institute may continue to allow withdrawn students to remain in their program, but the students will no longer be eligible for student funding.
