Although, we have 2 make-up “sessions” on Saturday, if a student only
has one class to make-up, they must attend the 8:30 – 10:30 session. The 10:30 – 12:30 session is meant for
students that have more than one class to make-up. Just as with the regular classes, students cannot be late
for the make-up class. They must
arrive at 8:30 a.m. If they
do not arrive by that time, they will not be able to attend the make-up the
class and will need to come to another Saturday class. There is no need to “schedule” a
make-up class or make pre-arrangements to attend.
The make-up work that the student will be working on will cover the
material missed in the scheduled class.
We have prepared a packet of work to be done for each class missed and
the student will work at their own pace. This make-up work is strictly textbook work. Any of the videos shown or discussion
had during class cannot be provided for make-up work and the student must read
through the material and provide the answers as required from that particular
class’s packet. There will be an
instructor available during that time in the event that the student has any
questions about the material they are working on.
It should only take the student 2 hours to complete the course work
for one class missed so plan accordingly.
They will be allowed a break every hour. If a student has missed more than 2 classes, they should
plan on making these classes up on 2 separate Saturdays. All regular class rules apply:
i.e. No electronic devices will be allowed while in class, talking will be held
to a minimum; etc.
Students that need to attend make-up session to complete classroom work
may begin the driving instruction portion of the course. They do not have to wait until they
have completed the make-up work to start driving.
SIX (6) OR MORE ABSENCES
Students that miss 6 or more of the regularly scheduled classes in the
classroom schedule will be removed from that class and will need to be placed
in another class where they can complete their class work. There will be a $50.00 administrative
fee charged for moving a student to another class.
The student will only have to make up the classes missed in the new
class, i.e. if the student missed Day 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 = they will
only attend those days for the class that they move to.
If the student misses any of THOSE days of class, they will be removed
from that class as well and will have to start the driving instruction program
over from the beginning as if they were never enrolled. They can retain their permit, however,
they. There will be no refunds
given if this situation occurs.
A student that is in this situation cannot take any drive times until
all class work is completed.
