Full course attendance is required.  Absent students must make arrangements with the school to make up for missing hours. Students may attend another class to make up time at no extra charge within 60 days after course starting date. A student who does not make up time by the deadline is considered dropped and full attendance and tuition is due if s/he decides to attend again. A student is allowed to re-take a 40 Hour Salesperson course within 12 months of graduation at no charge as a refresher student (must pay for new books and material). Students are allowed to re-take a course for 60% of the tuition cost (must also pay for updated course material) as long as they come back within 3 years from the original class start date.
