VIRTUAL SUMMER PROGRAM POLICIES

​

1. How many days am I allowed to miss? Students can miss up to 4 days. Any student who misses more than 4 days (for any reason) will not receive a successful completion stipend.

2. If I go on vacation, can I complete my classes from there? Absolutely! Classes are virtual so students may attend classes while on vacation as long as they follow regular protocol.

3. How much will each absence reduce my stipend? There are 19 days in summer program this year. So if you are seeking the $300 work study stipend, $300/19=$15.78 per full day absence. All absences will result in a stipend reduction regardless of the reason for the absence.

4. What if I have to miss class due to attending college orientation? Talent Search does not reduce a stipend for an absence accrued to attend a college orientation. The student must provide proof of their attendance. However, this absence will count towards the maximum number of absences allowed (4).

5. What if I only need to miss one class? Your stipend will be reduced $5.26 for each class period you miss.

6. Am I required to share my Zoom webcam? Yes! No share or not in frame= no credit!

7. Do I need a laptop, PC, or Chromebook for summer program?  Yes! Students cannot participate via a cellphone due to safety reasons, nor can they participate from moving cars. They must be at a workstation or desk, on a laptop, pc, or Chromebook and actively participating. 

8. What does successful completion mean? This means you are in good standing with the program and satisfied the grade and attendance requirements for the virtual summer program.

9. Am I required to score a specific grade to get my stipend? Yes! Students are required to score a cumulative average of 80% in their classes. Those who don't score an 80% will not receive a stipend.

10. What happens if my internet goes out and I can't log in to class? If this happens, contact your Education Specialist immediately. You will be given a class packet to complete that day/night and submit the next morning. If this packet isn't submitted on time, you will receive an absence for the class.
