Description
Leave
of Absence
The Virginia School of Pet Grooming realizes that personal situations may arise which require a student to be absent for a prolonged period of time. Our policy was established to accommodate individual needs. We will review each case on an individual basis and decide on the best solution for both parties. During this time all classes will be suspended. When the student returns they will start at a time where they left off at the time of departure.
Suspension
and Expulsion
The Virginia
School of Pet Grooming reserves the right to terminate any student for the
following reasons:*
Lack
of Emotional Control: Any behavior that endangers the well being of the pets
in our care or your fellow students. Behaviors or actions such as foul or
abusive language, hitting or slapping and destructive gossip will be defined
as lack of emotional control whether directed toward an animal or person.
Unexcused
Absences: Any absence not approved by the director of the school prior to
the actual absence will be considered unexcused. Five unexcused absences will
result in the expulsion of the student. An intended date of absence must be
submitted by the student in writing with the return date clearly indicated.
A form will be available to the student from the office for such a request.
Drug
and/or Alcohol Use: The use of any substance which impairs judgment and/or
motor skills is strictly forbidden and will result in the immediate expulsion
of the student.
Incorrect Information on Application: Any fact, such as age, requested on the enrollment application that is knowingly falsified can result in the student being expelled.
