RE: Revised Approval
School Code: 3700611
This is to certify that this school bulletin and attached materials submitted as a basis for this approval, are true and correct
in content and policy, in accordance with the requirements of the code of federal regulations section 21 4253(d) (1 and
section 21.4254(b).
Bulletin beginning month and year: July 2016
Bulletin ending month and year: June 2017
Please note: We have changed our main campus from National City Adult School to Chula Vista Adult School.
This school has and maintains a policy for the refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges in the event
the veteran or eligible person fails to enter the course or withdraws, or is discontinued therefrom at any time prior to the
completion. The amount charged to the veteran or eligible person for tuition, fees, and other charges does not exceed the
approximate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges, that the length of the completed
portion of the course should bear to its total length. For the registration fee, the amount in excess of $10 will be subject to
proration.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
All students who qualify are accepted into the program, within the limits of class capacity. Qualification is determined by
the counselor. Health Science and Medical Technology Programs and GED program require a minimum score of 560 on
the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). All students must pay for books, tools, materials and supply fees to complete
their enrollment. Each class may require the purchase of additional items prior enrollment in all classes. For example,
Computer classes require a flash drive and textbook.
CLASS/SUPPLY FEE
Fees may be charged for some classes, for supplies, and/or materials. The amount of the class fee will be indicated for each
class. There are no refunds unless the class is cancelled.
CREDIT EVALUATION
It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Veterans Program representative of any prior training and to request and
provide the Veterans Program representative with transcripts/certificates of all prior training. Students with previous training
in the course to be pursued will be tested upon enrollment and given appropriate credit. Evaluation will be based upon
analysis of transcripts from educational institutions previously attended and either a written exam, a hands-on demonstration
of skills, or both. Credit allowed will be recorded upon enrollment and the length of the course shortened proportionately.
In addition, the student and the VA will be notified regarding credit given for previous course work.
NOTE: Only training completed in the last five years will be considered for transfer credit due to changes
in technology.
Career Technical Education (CTE) Training Enrollment
Students enrolled in a career technical training under the auspices of the VA, EDD, or Rehabilitation Departments must
follow the prescribed sequence of courses and master the skills/ competencies prior to enrolling in the next course. Students
wishing to take a course out of sequence must have teacher recommendation or demonstrate mastery or pre-requisite skills.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
A. 18 week courses: Students are allowed a maximum of four (4) absences per semester in either the Fall or Spring
semester. Upon the fifth (5) absence in a semester, the student will be dropped from the program for the
remainder of that semester. If enrolled through our Veteran Program, the certification will be terminated for
the semester.
9 week courses: Students are allowed a maximum of 2 (2) absences per semester in either the Fall or Spring
semester. Upon the third (3) absence in a semester, the student will be dropped from the program for the
remainder of that semester. If enrolled through our Veteran Program, the certification will be terminated for
the semester.
B. It is not necessary for students to bring in notes verifying their absences; all absences are counted the same,
regardless of the reason for the absence. There are no “excused” or “unexcused” absences.
C. All Students must sign in every day. Students are to sign only their own full name at the time they arrive. Signing
in for someone else is grounds for immediate dismissal. Students are also responsible for signing out at the end
of the class.
D. Tardiness and Leaving Class Early are a disruption of a good learning environment. Being tardy/leaving early
is counted in 15 increments. Every 15 minutes will result in a ¼ day absence; 1-15 mins. = ¼ absence; 16-30
mins. = ½ absence; 31-45 mins. = ¾ absence; 46-60 mins. = 1 whole day absence.
For example:
A.) Student arrives to school 3 minutes late, this will result in a ¼ day absence. B.) Student arrives to class 17
minutes late, this will result in ½ day absence.
A.) Student leaves class early 6 minutes before the scheduled end time, this will result in a ¼ day absence. B.)
Student leaves class 21 minutes early, this will result in a ½ day absence for that day.
E. Make-up work may be required for any absence; however, hours of make-up work cannot be accepted as hours
of class attendance.
F. Students may not “accrue” allowed absence days. These days are intended for emergency use only and cannot be
used during the last week of a semester.
G. Students will not receive credit for the time they are not in class. Students only receive credit and attendance for
actual time spent in class.
H. If a student is removed from a class because of excessive absences, the teacher will notify the Veterans
Technician who will initiate cancellation of veteran benefits.
CONDUCT POLICY
Students shall, at all times when on the school premises, conduct themselves in an orderly and considerate manner and
shall appear for classes in a sober and receptive condition. Violation of this condition is just cause for dismissal. In order
to remain enrolled in a course, students must participate fully in that course; make satisfactory progress toward achieving
the course objectives, and exhibit appropriate classroom conduct.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY
Leave of Absence requests are for EMERGENCY reasons only. Written requests for leaves of absence (LOA) will be
considered and such leaves may be granted to students at the discretion of the school principal and the Veterans Program
clerk. A maximum of 6 days will be granted for 18 week courses and a maximum of 3 days will be granted for 9
week courses. Time may NOT be combined with allowed absence days to extend an LOA request. An LOA request will
be considered ONLY ONCE per semester.
LOA requests of more than 3 or 6 days (depending on the term) will not be accepted for consideration. If an LOA exceeds
the maximum approved days, the student will not be reinstated and certification will be terminated. The student may not
re-enroll for classes until the start of the next semester.
Due to the fact that the CTE programs of the Sweetwater Union High School District, Division of Adult Education are
clock hour programs, even mitigating circumstances for absences require that students be dropped from the program for
the period they will be absent. If a leave of absence is approved, students will be reinstated upon their return not
exceeding the maximum allowed days, but will not receive payment for the period they were not in attendance.
PROGRESS REPORT POLICY
A. A student progress report will be issued every nine weeks, following the scale below for each module/unit
completed.
SCALE
93% - 100 Excellent
85% - 92% Above Average
72% - 84% Average
70% - 71% Below Average
0% - 69% Unsatisfactory
B. Students must maintain a satisfactory pace in mastering the skills and competencies within the hours allotted
for each Program.
C. Students must demonstrate mastery of the skills required to complete course objectives in order to receive a
course completion and a Certificate of Competency. Students are responsible to collect the completion
certificates from the teacher.
D. For courses that are 2 or more semesters in length: When a student’s class performance is unsatisfactory for
any 9 week segment of the course, that student will be placed on probation. If anytime during the next nine
week segment, the student’s class performance is still unsatisfactory, that student will be removed from the
class and from the school and the appropriate agency will promptly be notified.
E. For courses that are 1 semester in length: When a student’s class performance is unsatisfactory during the first 9
week segment of the course, that student will be placed on probation. The student will have 1 week to bring their
progress to satisfactory. If at the end of 1 week the student’s progress is not brought up to satisfactory, the student
will be removed from the class and from the school and the appropriate agency will promptly be notified. After
the student is brought up to satisfactory progress, progress will continue to be monitored. If anytime during the
remaining 9 week period the student’s progress is unsatisfactory, the student will be removed from the class and
from the school and the appropriate agency will promptly be notified.
F. Students who are dismissed for unsatisfactory progress may apply for reinstatement at the beginning of the
following semester. Their request will be reviewed by Chula Vista Adult School principal.

Textbooks are required for all CTE courses. Books may be purchased online at: http://adulteducation.sweetwaterschools.org Under the “Students” tab, Click “Purchase CTE Textbooks”
Our education program is measured in clock hours and housing benefits are paid based on scheduled class hours per week. To determine your course housing, find the hours and days that the class meets per week. Then, multiply the hours times the days per week.
Example 1: You would like to take the “Computer Applications” course at Chula Vista Adult School (CVA). According to the brochure, this course meets M-Th from 5:30pm – 9:15pm with a 15 minute break. This means 3.50 hours daily since the course meets four times a week. Multiply the course hours by the total days per week. 3.50 hours a day x 4 days a week = 14 hours a week
Example 2: You would like to take the “Administrative Professional” course at Chula Vista Adult School (CVA).
According to the brochure, this course meets M-Th from 7:45am – 9:45am followed by a 15 minute break and then meets again from 10:00am – 12:30pm. 4.5 hours a day x 4 days a week = 18 hours per week
