| Classroom Instruction: | MATC provides classroom and lab-related instruction for apprenticeship programs. Apprenticeship classes are held two nights a week, generally around 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
They are available in Fall and Spring terms. “A” classes are usually* held in Fall term (September through December) and “B” classes are held in Spring term (January through April). “A” and “B” classes are successive and not interchangeable. * Offset classes are held for Electrical students if there is interest and enough enrollment. These classes include the “A” and “B” class instruction and go from January through June. |

| Attendance Policy: | An apprentice must attend 72 hours of the possible 81 hours each semester. This 90% attendance standard has been established by the Office of Apprenticeship, Industry Employers, and Labor Services. Any absences beyond this point will result in an incomplete (I) grade. The student will then be required to take the course again at his / her own expense.
A maximum of two (2) work-related absences (nine hours) per semester will be excused. The only excused absences are work-related absences. The student must submit a letter on company letterhead signed by his / her immediate supervisor. The letter must be presented to the instructor before the end of the week that class was missed. |
||||||||||||
| Exams: | A final examination will be given at the end of the course. This will cover all the material taught in the course and may include material covered in previous courses. All tests, quizzes, assignments and lab projects must be turned in to the Instructor before taking the final exam.
A competency test will be given at the end of each semester. This test will be separate from the final exam and grade, but completion of this test with a passing score will be required to move on to the next semester. The competency test may be taken twice, only. If the student also fails the re-take he / she will be required to repeat the appropriate semester. |
