Credit for Class Attendance and Make-up Classes

You will receive full credit for class attendance provided you:

·         Complete the required pre-work before class time

·         Attend the entire class session

·         Actively participate in the breakout activities

Important!  We do not award partial credit for attending only a portion of a class. This will be considered a missed class which you will need to make up.

After your second class, you will begin logging your class attendance in the Volunteer Management System.  (See “Volunteer Management System” section of this handbook.) We’ll provide instructions and tutorials on how to accomplish this.

Missed Classes

To graduate from the training program, you should strive to attend all of the scheduled training classes. You are required to attend 13 of the 14 classes; therefore, you may miss one class without penalty. If you miss more than one class, you will need to make it up. Contact your guide to arrange to make up a missed class. There are more options earlier in the year, so try to make arrangements for a make-up class as soon as you know you are going to need one. For instance, if you already know you’ll have to miss a class in April, you may be able to arrange to make it up in February.  

BONUS: If you attend all 14 classes, you will be able to count the final class as Advanced Training!
