Policies

To graduate from the Academy of Polygraph Science, the student must complete all requirements of the course of study with an average grade of 80% or more (utilizing a 0-100% scale) for all examinations and assignments. Following the student’s satisfactory completion of all course requirements, a diploma will be awarded attesting to the student’s achievement. The Academy will maintain permanent records of each student’s progress within the course including all scores achieved, class standing throughout, conduct, etc. Further, the student will receive guidance and progress reports on approximately a weekly basis throughout the entire course of study. The student may also be given special counseling sessions either student or Director initiated, as circumstances dictate. Considering the rigorous nature of this course, some students may be unable to complete it with their initial attempt and, for these students, on a case by case basis and at the discretion of the Director, re-enrollment in subsequent courses may be available.

CONDUCT 
Professionalism is expected of every student during the duration of the course. The Director may dismiss from the course any student involved in acts of dishonesty or questionable moral turpitude. 

TARDINESS 
Attendance records will be appropriately recorded on a daily basis. Late arrivals will be noted on their attendance records. The student will be charged as follows: 

1. There is no dismissal for tardiness if a suitable explanation is given. 
2. An hour for any fraction of an hour basis lost from class. 
3. A student may be dismissed for excessive absence with no valid reason.
