Regular attendance, participation and punctuality are crucial to learning production skills and the achievement of high performance standards. A minimum of 150 hours of active involvement as a technician is required in order to receive a passing grade. 150 hours of involvement does not guarantee a passing grade.
Unexcused absence from a production call will reduce final grade by 10%. Lateness for a production call or leaving without permission will reduce final grade by 5%. Grade reductions are cumulative. Any combination of unexcused absence, lateness or leaving without permission totaling 30% will result in a failing grade. Unexcused absence from performance calls will result in a failing grade. The Production Profile, Timesheets and Crew Assessment must be handed in by the due date in order to receive a passing grade.
