CHARLOTTE TECHNICAL COLLEGE STAFF
CHARLOTTE TECHNICAL COLLEGE
Charlotte Technical College is a full-service technical college located in the heart of Charlotte County that offers accredited full-time and part-time programs.
Postsecondary students work toward a high skilled/high wage career with training at CTC. We also offer a wide variety of dual enrollment programs for high school students for certification, employment and /or college credit. All our programs are credentialed by DOE and many programs have specific credentialing including:
Automotive Service Technology - the National Institute for Automotive Excellence
Dental Assisting - the Commission of Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association
Practical Nursing - the State of Florida, Florida Board of Nursing
Cosmetology - the State of Florida, Florida Board of Cosmetology
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES
CTC has a Center Advisory Board and program specific technical advisory committees. The Center Advisory Board guides the strategic
direction of the institution, provides community involvement in maintaining a relevant mission for the institution and meets quarterly to
evaluate and assist the Center Director in carrying out the mission of the institution. Technical Advisory Committees provide expert
industry support for all programs at CTC. The committees are coordinated to promote interaction between instructional programs and the
businesses and industries served by those programs. Instructors use the expertise of the advisory committees to improve program con-
tent and to ensure consistency with current industry standards. Committee members also assist in the evaluation of program effective-
ness, equipment needs, facility standards, job placement, program promotion and advocacy.
Many CTC programs have local articulations agreements with other postsecondary institutions including Florida Southwestern State College and Johnson & Wales University. Local and state articulation agreements provide students with the opportunity to earn college credits for the work they complete in their technical programs. Students can save money by not repeating courses and save time since their technical program shortens the amount of time that is needed to complete a college program. The State Board of Education approved the listed Statewide Career and Technical Education Articulation Agreements to expand opportunities for postsecondary degrees and certificates. These agreements are intended to be a minimum guarantee of articulated credit and do not preclude institutions from granting additional credit based on local agreements. There are multiple ways to earn articulated credit:
A. Statewide articulation agreements - PSAV Program to AAS/AS Degree
B. Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements of Industry Certification to AAS/AS Degree.
Please reference the Florida Department of Education website at:
http://www.fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/career-technical-edu-agreements
Please work with one of our career specialists for details about industry certifications and articulation agreements.

CHARLOTTE TECHNICAL COLLEGE ADMISSIONS POLICY – ADULT STUDENTS
Charlotte Technical College accepts applications on a non-discriminatory basis from anyone having the interest and ability to benefit from an occupational training program. Charlotte Technical College admits as postsecondary (adult) students those individuals who have completed
their secondary school education, or who are 16 years of age or older and have officially withdrawn from high school.
Program prerequisites may vary because of occupational requirements, School Board Policy, and/or licensing regulations. Licensure
programs that require a high school diploma or GED diploma for entry do not accept either correspondence diplomas or diplomas from
non-accredited schools. Students with foreign transcripts are responsible for obtaining their own translation/evaluation which must be
completed by an approved outside agency. Students should note that a translation of their foreign transcript alone is not sufficient; their
educational records must be evaluated and certified as being the equivalent of a secondary and/or postsecondary education in the United
States.
In accordance with requirements set forth by the Joint Commission and the Jessica Lunsford Act, students applying for entrance to any
health science program that requires a clinical experience in a hospital, nursing home, or other health care facility must submit to a FDLE
Level II criminal background check and a drug screening test. The applicant is responsible for paying the costs for both tests. The results
of said tests may prevent the applicant from entering the program. This denial of entry into a program would be necessary due to the
student’s inability to access clinical facilities for training purposes required as part of the instructional program. Other programs may also
require drug screenings or fees for liability or other insurance. Applicants are responsible for paying these costs. In addition to the back-
ground check and drug screening, all students registering for any of the Health Science programs are required to have current immuniza-
tions and a yearly physical examination.
NOTE: All requirements must be met on or before the drop/add timeline to remain in the program.
Students who register for a class, yet fail to attend within the first 5 days for full time day programs or 3 days for evening programs will be
withdrawn making that seat available to another potential student.

ADMISSIONS FOR SECONDARY/CAREER DUAL STUDENTS
INFORMATION AND PROCESS FOR ENROLLMENT
What is Career Dual Enrollment?
Career dual enrollment is an option for high school students to enroll in postsecondary courses creditable toward both high school graduation and a
career and technical program certificate. Students enrolled in career dual enrollment may earn industry certifications and articulated college credit
toward AAS/AS degrees in state colleges and universities.
How many credits will be earned?
All courses taken at the College are clock hour courses; therefore, the High School Subject Area Equivalency List mandates the minimum subject area
credit awarded for specific courses taken through career dual enrollment. Under this agreement, career dual enrolled courses will be weighted equally
as Advanced Placement (AP) courses and will count toward high school graduation. The College will assign a letter grade to each student enrolled in
a dual enrollment course and this letter grade is posted to the student’s transcript upon completion of the entire course.
What are the expectations to maintain Career Dual Enrollment?
Students participating in career dual enrollment are participating in college level courses and the amount of work necessary to succeed may be much
greater than in high school courses. Students will be responsible to meet the College rules for clock hour attendance and behavior as specified in
the Charlotte County Public Schools Code of Conduct and referenced in the College student handbook. Students enrolled in career dual enrollment
will be required to maintain a 75% average in the course and not miss more than 5% of the total clock hours of the course and/or program accu-
mulative.
NOTE: Students in dual-enrolled courses must satisfy the clock hour requirement for the course and the academic standards associated with all
post-secondary coursework. Failure to comply may result in dismissal from the program.
Enrollment Process
Attend an evening information session and/or Shadow a class in which you may be interested.
Complete the online application on the CTC website at www.charlottetechcollege.net
You will be notified by CTC if you have been accepted into the program.
After acceptance, take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) if you have not taken a concordant college readiness exam.
Follow up with the CTC Career Counselor to ensure that you have been accepted and are enrolled in the correct program.
Attend the mandatory program orientation with a parent.
Enter class before 10-day Drop/Add period.
5
Students must meet these minimum requirements:
1. Complete an online application at www.charlottetechcollege.net. Applications for career dual enrollment will be accepted by the College
through the first day of class for the current school year; however, some programs require an interview; therefore, program application dead-
lines will apply (Practical Nursing and Emergency Medical Technician and Cosmetology)
2. For a Career Certificate, students must have at time of enrollment a 2.0 unweighted GPA and must maintain this GPA throughout enrollment
in the program. Program exceptions include:
Emergency Medical Technician requires a 2.5 GPA and Interview
Practical Nursing requires a 3.0 and Interview
HVAC requires a 2.5 GPA and Interview
Cosmetology requires a 2.0 and Interview
3. Be a student in grades 9 -12 who meet high school GPA and college readiness test requirements. The College will review the initial
application to determine College requirements for admission.
4. All students enrolled in career dual enrollment will meet the Basic Skills Requirements. If college readiness scores are not available,
students will be given a schedule to register for the TABE (Test of Adult Basic Skills or the Wonderlic) test to be taken at the College. The
home high school and College will collaborate to determine final acceptance and monitor individual student performance to assure on-time
graduation.
5. Students who will graduate from high school prior to completion of the postsecondary course may not register for the course through dual
enrollment.
6. Students may lose the opportunity to participate in the dual enrolment program if they are disruptive to the learning process.
What is the difference between career dual enrollment and co-enrollment?
Co-enrollment does not always allow for articulated college credit into AAS/AS degree programs at state universities. Students are able to earn
college credit based on earned certifications through the program.
Is transportation provided?
Bus transportation is provided for students who attend CHS and LBHS for the AM and PM sessions. Students who plan to stay an entire day at
CTC may ride the bus from their home school in the AM and will be transported home from CTC in the afternoon. Students from PCHS walk to
and from CTC; all PM students are provided transportation home from CTC. Parking passes are available for a cost of $10.00 per year if students
choose to drive. Students are responsible for their own transportation in any programs that require them to be off campus such as
clinicals, externships and internships.
Are there any fees associated with my selected program?
There is no cost to CCPS public high school students for tuition, textbooks, or industry certification testing. Private schools will be charged tuition
and any additional fees that could be associated with the program selected. Private schools must enter into an articulation agreement with CCPS
before students can enroll. Students are responsible for uniform costs, required background checks and all health requirements for health science
programs. Lab fees are associated with some programs. Please visit our website at www.charlottetechcollege.net for a program specific cost
sheet.

The Federal Pell Grant provides financial aid to eligible students for tuition, lab and registration fees. Students must have a high school diploma or GED. The Federal Pell Grant supports Charlotte Technical College programs of 600 or more hours. Pell requires students to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) AT ALL TIMES to continue eligibility. Federal Pell regulations require both quantitative and qualitative measures of progress. This means satisfactory progress of program hours/ weeks as well as maintaining a cumulative passing grade. Charlotte Technical College checks SAP several times throughout t he enrollment period. Charlotte Tech reserves the right to delay Pell drawdown if a student is not meeting SAP. See detailed SAP policy for financial aid on the CCPS webpage: www.charlottetechcollege.net

All students must apply for the Federal Pell Grant, be a Florida resident and enrolled at full time status to be eligible to receive the FSAG-CE grant. Eligible students will be offered FSAG-CE based on the outcome of FAFSA verification and award process.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This is a federal funded grant which is awarded to students who demonstrate significant financial need. Awards are calculated by the Financial Aid Office automatically and are determined by need and availability of funds. Students must apply for and be eligible to receive a Pell Grant for the same academic year.
Bright Futures Scholarship (State of Florida)
Charlotte Technical College proudly accepts the Academic Scholars, Medallion and Gold Seal Vocational Scholars. Please see Financial Aid office for additional information and minimum hours of enrollment. Students must apply for the scholarship during the last year of high school.

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of reasonable accommoda-tions for students with disabilities to meet individual needs and ensure equal access unless such accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the college. Adult students with disabilities must self-identify and request such services. At the time of registration, if a student has a medical problem which might interfere with learning or result in a future emergency, the information should be documented on the student emergency infor-
mation form. The earlier a student self-identifies the sooner the student can be accommodated.
Procedure
It is the responsibility of the student with a disability to request a reasonable accommodation. It is best for students to self-identify at registration.
Students should fill out the Self –Identification Form.
Should special needs arise, the administration and/or Student Services (school counselors) are to be notified.
Students with a disability must provide recent documentation (no more than three years old) from a qualified, licensed professional that states the
specific disability and the requested accommodation.
It is the student’s responsibility to request accommodations for each program enrolled.
The administration will notify instructors substantiating that the student has provided CTC with all the required documentation.
10
Necessary Documentation
Learning Disabilities
Documentation must be a complete psychoeducational battery of tests. The testing must have been completed by a licensed psychologist,
psychiatrist, school psychologist, or neuro-psychiatrist.
The date of testing must have been within the past three years.
Testing should include a Comprehensive Assessment Battery which includes: aptitude, achievement, information on processing, social-emotional,
clinical summary. The testing should include a relevant diagnosis and recommendations for reasonable academic accommodation.
Not accepted: An IEP or 504 from high school or another post-secondary school. Results from a screening instrument are insufficient.
Psychiatric Disability
Documentation must be from a licensed physician or specialist (psychiatrist) with the ability to assess psychiatric conditions. If the documentation is not from a psychiatrist, then medical records indicating that a psychiatrist make the original diagnosis. Students with Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can present results from psychoeducational test performed by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist. The
documentation must include the diagnosis and how the current symptoms restrict academic achievement.
Not accepted: An IEP or 504 from high school or another school. A physicians’ diagnosis on a prescription pad or a list of medications are
unacceptable documentation.
Sensory Disability
Documentation must be from a physician or audiologist (hearing). Documentation should include if the disability is permanent or temporary. Documentation of a permanent disability can be older than three years. Recommendations for accommodations from a specialist should be no more than three years.
Physical Disability
Documentation must be from a physician. Documentation should include if this is a permanent or temporary condition. For example, broken leg versus spinal cord injury affecting leg function. Documentation must include how the current symptoms restrict academic achievement. If the
disability is temporary, documentation needs to include an expected timeframe for the accommodations.
Testing Accommodations
It is the responsibility of the student to self-advocate. Accommodated testing appointments must be made five days in advance. Schedule a testing appointment and complete the student section of the Testing Referral Form. Your teacher will need to finish the paper work by giving the form to
the testing center along with the test.
Testing accommodation may include: testing in the testing center, extended time (no more than double time), use of auxiliary aids.
In the testing center noise blocking earphones, ear plugs, and ear buds/earphones for having the test read electronically are allowed with
documented accommodation.
Students requesting extended time may need to extend the day so as not to miss class time.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance Policy Postsecondary/Career Dual Enrollment
It is recognized by business and industry that the single most important trait for career success is good attendance. The following attendance rules are the
minimum acceptable standard to be successful in all certificate programs at CTC. Because CTC is a clock hour institution, it is necessary for program instruc-
tors to daily monitor and document the attendance of all students enrolled in postsecondary programs. Curriculum delivery and the awarding of credentials
and Occupational Completion Points (OPC’s) to students are based on the actual number of hours present in the classroom. Attendance is an hour-driven
process; absences from class are measured in minutes missed. Adult students attending from 7:45a.m. – 3:00 p.m. receive 6.75 hours/minutes instruction
per day (M-F). Adult students attending from 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. receive 5 hours of instruction per day (M - TH). Career dual enrolled students attendance
is based on enrolled time per period and measured in minutes
Students cannot accumulate more than 5% absences of the program’s total clock hours. The table below describes the Multi-Tiered interventions as students
accumulate hours away from class:
1. Students are expected to be in class, on time, ready to learn. There are no excused or unexcused absences. The student is either present or absent. Stu-
dents attending an approved field trip or other school-sponsored activity are marked present.
2. Just as employees might be expected to notify a supervisor in the event of an absence from work, CTC students are expected to self-report the absence by
calling the Attendance Office at 255-7500, ext. 127 and their program instructor by email or phone call.
3. If a student exceeds hours listed in Tier 1 of the total program hours or OCP, the teacher will conference with student, document, and monitor the student’s
attendance. Any student who exceeds hours listed in Tier 2 will be referred to the Career Counselor, and will receive Tier 2 interventions. This student will be
placed on an attendance contract, monitored, and a conference will be called with the MTSS Problem Solving Team. If a student fails to make adequate im-
provement with attendance and reaches Tier 3, they may be recommended for dismissal. The Health Programs have specific requirements that are out-
lined in their syllabus.
4. Any adult student with 5 consecutive absences may be recommended for dismissal. Hours will be calculated through the last day the student was in class.

Attendance Appeal Process
Charlotte Technical College students who are in danger of being withdrawn due to poor attendance may submit an Attendance Appeal to Student Services. Excessive absences due to extenuating circumstances or extraordinary situations (jury duty, medical) may be reviewed for
Administrative appeal approval.
NOTE: APPEAL PROCESS DOES NOT CHANGE THE FINANCIAL AID POLICY.
No Call/No Show
It is never acceptable for a student to not show and not call. If a student is unable to attend class, they must call the school 30
minutes prior to the scheduled start time unless the instructor states otherwise in their course syllabus. The call will be documented in
the student’s attendance log.
Postsecondary students must call the school to report their absence. If a student is unable to make the call, a responsible adult may
be designated. Secondary students must have a parent or guardian call the school. If a student does not show and does not call the
school, all missed assignments and tests/quizzes must be submitted or taken and will receive no greater than a 75%; even if the stu-
dent scores higher.
If a student is a no call/no show, the unprofessional behavior will be reflected in the grading of their employability skills and
missed academic assignments.
Attendance Policy Co-Enrolled High School Students
Secondary students enrolled in 800# classes are under the attendance guidelines set forth by the Charlotte County Code of Student Conduct.
The School Board maintains that daily school attendance is essential to the educational success of each student. Students are expected to be in school all day, every day and in class on time to receive full benefit from the instructional programs of the Charlotte County Public Schools. All absences must be reported and explained by a parent or guardian within two (2) school days after the student’s return to school. Research has shown that 10% or more of instructional time missed by students (Pre-K to Grade 12) is an early warning indicator for possible academic struggles; this measure is used to define chronic absenteeism nationwide. Florida Statute 1003.24; School Board Policy 5200
Non-Enrollment
Under the direction of the Superintendent, a designated representative shall give written notice, in person or by return receipt mail, to the parent/guardian when no valid reason is found for a child’s non-enrollment in school. The letter requires enrollment within 3 days after the date of notice. If the notice and requirements are ignored, the designated representative may initiate steps necessary to bring criminal prosecution against the
parent/guardian.
Florida Statute 1003.26 (2)(a)
Students Beyond Compulsory Attendance Age
All students age 16 or over are required to comply with all school rules and all rules and regulations established by the School Board. All notices, report cards, attendance information and other similar information will be made available to the parent/guardian with the understanding that the
parent/guardian is fully responsible for student progress, attendance and behavior.
Students must submit request within two school days of notification of withdrawal or pending withdrawal for consideration.
Administrative review will be scheduled for immediate consideration including program instructor, career specialist and
financial aid advisor.
Student will be informed of outcome using contact information provided.
14
Reporting Student Absence
There must be communication between the school and home regarding each absence. All absences must be reported and explained by a parent or guardian within two (2) school days after the student’s return to school. All absences are considered unexcused until the school receives explana-tion, written or oral, from the parent/guardian. The principal or designee has the authority to determine whether or not an absence is excused. Ex-cessive excused absences for illness may result in the student being required to provide a doctor’s note or other substantiating medical evidence.
Florida Statute 1003.23 (2)
Types of Absences
For purposes of gathering statistical data, all absences will be recorded in the school office as excused, unexcused, or absence due to an out-of-
school suspension.
A. Excused Absence - An absence will be recorded as excused for the following reasons:
(1) Illness of student.
(2) Serious illness or death in student’s immediate family, including significant other.
(3) Students having or suspected of having a communicable disease or infestation that can be transmitted are to be excluded from school and are not allowed to return to school until they no longer present a health hazard (F.S. 1003.22). Examples of communicable diseases and infestations include, but are not limited to, fleas, bed bugs, head lice, ringworm, impetigo and scabies. Students excluded from school for head lice, will be allowed a maximum of three (3) school days excused
absence for each occurrence.
(4) Doctor or dental appointments. Parents are encouraged to schedule appointments after school hours.
(5) Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder by a licensed health care practitioner or behavior analyst certified
pursuant to S.393.17,FS.
(6) Health issues as they relate to pregnant teens, teenage mothers and/or their children. Appointments after school are
encouraged.
(7) Legal matters.
(8) Religious holidays/training of the student’s specific faith or religious instruction. Students shall be excused from any examination, study, or work assignment for observance of a religious holiday or because the tenets of his/her religion forbid
secular activity at such time.
(9) The principal must be notified at least five days school days in advance of any planned trips with parents or special events such as State/National competitions, student conferences, education enrichment activities, important public functions and Postsecondary educational institution visits. The principal may excuse the absence depending on an individual
student’s attendance record and academic standing.
(10) Absence is with knowledge and consent of the Principal.
Note: School-sponsored trips, extracurricular activities, assemblies, and internal suspensions are not considered absences. Students can make
up work in the same manner as an excused absence.
15
Students between the ages of 16 and 18 must file with the School Board a formal declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment in order to be exempt from compulsory school attendance requirements. An exit interview with appropriate school staff is required, and the declaration form must
be signed by both the parent and the student.
Florida Statute 1003.21
Florida Statute 393.17, 1003.23, 1003.24
Excessive Excused or Chronic Absences
The Principal has administrative discretion in cases of excessive absences to reject a written note and consider the absence as unexcused when
absences are impacting academic progress, except for sickness, injury or insurmountable conditions.
If a student is continually sick and repeatedly absent from school, he or she must be under the supervision of a physician to receive an excused
absence. The Principal of the school shall determine when it is necessary to require a physician’s statement from the student’s medical provider.
The parent/guardian must provide a copy of this documentation within two (2) school days after the student’s return.
Pattern of Non-attendance
Poor academic performance is associated with non-attendance; therefore, schools will respond in a timely manner to prevent the development of
patterns of non-attendance which may indicate early signs of truancy.
If a student has had at least five (5) unexcused absences, or absences for which the reason is unknown, within a calendar month or ten (10) unex-
cused absences, or absences for which the reason is unknown, within a 90 calendar day period, the student’s teacher shall report to the school
principal or his or her designee that the student may be exhibiting a pattern of non-attendance.
The principal shall, unless there is clear evidence that the absences are not a pattern of nonattendance, refer the case to the school’s attendance
intervention team, or equivalent (referred to in the law as the Child Study Team) to determine if early patterns of truancy are developing. If the at-
tendance intervention team finds that a pattern of non-attendance is developing, whether the absences are excused or not, a meeting with the par-
ent must be scheduled to identify potential remedies. If this parent meeting does not resolve the attendance issue, the team shall implement inter-
ventions that best address the barriers to regular school attendance.
If the student exhibits a pattern of non-attendance, principals may request documentation for subsequent absences.
Florida Statute 1003.27 (3)
NOTE: Absences for truancy referral are cumulative and carry over for the entire year.
Make-up Work/Homework: Guidelines and Responsibilities
Definitions for the purposes of this document:
Make-up work: work, assignments, tests, etc., done in class that a student has missed due to absence.
Homework: work assigned for a student to complete outside of class time.
Long Term Assignment: assigned projects where the student is given seven (7) or more calendar days to complete.
While make-up work will be provided for all students as outlined below, no activities or assignments can replace the learning that occurs in the
classroom when the student is present.
It is the responsibility of the student/parent to request all make-up work and homework from teachers. Two (2 days) for each day of absence shall
be given to complete all work. Exams, tests, or quizzes shall be rescheduled at the discretion of the teacher. Long-term projects assigned prior to
the absence shall be due on the date the student returns to class. Exceptions may be made with proper documentation.
16
B. Unexcused Absence – A student’s absence will be recorded as unexcused if the student is absent from school or class for any reason not listed
in the above types of absences.
C. Absence Due to Out-of-School Suspension – Absence due to an out-of-school suspension will be recorded in a category separate from ex-cused or unexcused.
D. Absences Due to Incomplete State Immunization Requirement or Health Examination Requirement - Charlotte County Public Schools, in accordance with Florida Statute 1003.22, allows homeless students and new students a 30 school day grace period to get their mandatory physical, immunizations or certificate of waiver for said requirements. Failure to provide documentation within the 30 school day grace period will result in the student being excluded from school beginning on school day 31. All school days missed after the 30 school day grace period will be recorded as unexcused absences and the student's absences will be subject to Florida's truancy laws.
At all grade levels students are permitted to:
1. Make-up work and homework for absences due to the first out-of-school suspension of the school year may be requested if the
suspension is not a zero tolerance violation. Work will be made available for full credit upon request by the student/parent with
in twenty-four (24) hours of the suspension and will be subject to the normal make-up work policy. These privileges shall not
exist for subsequent out-of-school suspensions except for exams (or equivalent).
2. Make up a semester exam (or equivalent) for full credit regardless of the type of absence or number of suspensions. The date for the make-up exam will be determined by the principal (or designee).
3. All state mandated testing will be made up according to the Florida Department of Education’s published state assessment testing windows and state testing rules.
At the high school level, students with excused absences will be permitted and encouraged to make up work, tests, and quizzes and will not re-
ceive an academic penalty unless the work is not made-up within the allowable time frame.
1. If a pattern of non-attendance develops, the principal or designee may require documentation to excuse an absence. 2. In the case of unexcused absences, a teacher may deduct up to 30% from the earned grade for work made up. Approved documentation to excuse an absence when required (secondary/co-enrolled only):
Note from doctor, dentist or other health care professional
Proof of hospitalization
Obituary notice, death certificate
Note from school nurse
Subpoenas
Letter from judge/attorney, copies of legal documents
Proof of legitimacy of a religious holiday
Letter citing invitation to a special event
NOTE: It is understood that all syllabi distributed and/or communicated by instructional staff to students and parents, for the purposes of setting
guidelines and responsibilities within the domain of make-up work policies and procedures, will comply with the Code of Student
Conduct.
Dual Enrollment
Students participating in career dual enrollment classes will follow standard make-up guidelines set forth by the college instructor in the adult level
program.
Florida Statute 1003.24
Instructor Intervention (RTI)

INSTRUCTIONAL POLICIES/PROCEDURES
Cancelled/Closed Classes
All classes are subject to minimum and maximum enrollment requirements. A class may be cancelled if minimum enrollment requirements are not met by the scheduled start date. Every effort will be made to contact students who are already registered and all fees will be refunded. Closed classes are those which have met the maximum enrollment requirements. These are established based on space availability, equipment and safety reasons. Students will not be added to a closed class without administrative approval.
Graduation
A graduation ceremony is held twice yearly to include a December graduation and end of year graduation to give family and friends an
opportunity to see deserving students receive their diploma, technical certificates and awards. Students who complete their program on or
before the semester or end of year are invited to return and participate with their class.
Withdrawal
Any student who chooses to withdraw from a course or program prior to completing it should follow our withdrawal procedures. First, notify
your instructor of your intentions, then participate in an exit interview with the Career Counselor, and finally, complete the necessary forms
for your withdrawal. If you fail to follow this procedure, it will be noted in your permanent school file, which may jeopardize future re–entry at
CTC and release of records.
Work Based Activities
Work based activities can include: shadowing, on-the-job training, internship and clinical experiences. Work based activities make it possi-ble for a student to earn time toward course completion while working in the “real world” related to their program. To be eligible for a work
based activity, a student must:
Denial of re-registration
If it is determined by the instructor and counselor that a student has not made adequate progress within a term due to poor attendance or any other reasons, the student may be denied the privilege to re-register for the next term. Administrative approval is required to deny or rescind
re-registration.
Drop/Add Period
CTC has a drop/add period of five (5) class days for adult students starting with the first day of class of each semester for programs in ex-cess of 450 hours. The drop/add period for classes less than 450 hours is three (3) class days. Students may enroll or exit at any time during this period. Transfer students may be considered during drop/add period. High school students have a 10 day drop/add period at the beginning of the academic school year. NOTE: Some programs require Level 2 clearance (fingerprinting). Students must com-plete all fingerprinting requirements on or before the last day of the drop/add period or risk removal from the program.
18
Have completed 70% of the required percentage of program competencies as designated by the program instructor.
Have demonstrated outstanding employability skills such as good attendance, personal presentation, and positive attitude.
Be recommended by the instructor as being sufficiently skilled in his/her area of training.
Complete all required forms.
Career Dual enrolled students will earn credits based on the FLDOE equivalency chart for Dual Enrollment which equates to 150 hours per credit. Those students in Career Dual Enrolled course numbers will earn an extra weighted point in their GPA upon course completion (A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2). All
enrolled students and adult students must maintain a 75% average in each OCP. Failure to do so could result in removal from the program.
8. Any student not maintaining satisfactory academic progress of 75% must have documented academic advising sessions involving the Director/ Designee during the grading period giving perceived reasons for lack of success and a collaborative improvement plan that will assist the student in becoming more successful (MTSS). The Academic Advising Reports are to be placed on file with administration. A failing grade should not be given without the advising
component occurring if the failing grade is not a result of poor attendance. (See Appendix B, or D)
Grading/Assessment Procedures
1. Grading criteria must be based on classroom work, projects/observations, classroom tests, clinical lab experiences and employability skills. Employability skills includes attendance and punctuality, appearance, respect for others, quality of work, communication skills and initiative. Employability skills assessment will consist of a minimum of 20% and maximum of 30% of a student’s overall grade in a marking period or course. (APPENDIX G)
2. Each teacher is expected to provide a written copy of his/her grading procedure within the course syllabi to each student during the first week of class. This same document is also to be on file with administration on or before the first Friday after students begin.
3. Each teacher is to develop his/her own plan to allow students to make up missed assignments and/or tests. This plan is to be provided in writing to all students and placed in the course syllabi. A copy of this plan is also to be on file with administration on or before the first Friday after students begin.
4. Each student is to have a reasonable opportunity to demonstrate his/her academic achievement. Regular assessment of students' work
is expected. Acceptable methods of assessment include teacher-made exams, teacher observations, lab skill checklists, products and projects with established criteria, homework (that is graded), class work (that is graded), criterion- referenced tests, and other methods determined by the teacher to accurately assess mastery of skill or content.
5. Any student has the right to appeal a grade within a reasonable time after the grade has been issued. The administration will handle all
appeals in concert with the teacher (s).
6. All grade changes are to be signed by an administrator after being initiated by the teacher and given to the data entry clerk for
corrections. Grade changes are required only if the numerical % earned by the student changes the overall grade for course/OCP.
7. Each student is to be awarded the grade he/she earns based on the assessment plan developed by the teacher and using the
grading scale listed herein.
Grading Scale and Protocol The following grading scale is to be used by all teachers in assessing all students.
19
Grade
Percent
Definition
A 90-100 Outstanding Progress
B 80-89 Above Average Progress
C 70-79 Average Progress
D 60-69 Lowest Acceptable
F Below 60 Failure
9. CTC recognizes that the need may arise for a student to retest in order to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students are eligible to request a retake of a test once per course. Students are required to give the instructor a minimum of one week’s notice so the instructor has adequate time to prepare a retest. The retest will cover the same material in a similar manner as the original test and will be arranged at the instructor’s convenience to include before or after school. The second retest grade will be entered into the gradebook regardless of improvement or decline. The original test grade will remain in the gradebook only for viewing purposes. This policy includes chapter or unit tests only and DOES NOT INCLUDE FINAL EXAMS or EOCA assessments.
NOTE: Final exams in some programs require students to earn a 75% to be registered for the State License. There are no re-takes on final exams.
10. Only the Director/Designee may remove a student from a program for failure to meet satisfactory academic progress, but only after the
instructor has initiated MTSS and student has documented contracts that set timelines for improvement.
Reports of Progress
Reports of progress are issued at midterm and at the completion of each school term, usually 4.5 week intervals for secondary students and 9 week intervals for postsecondary students. The instructors should review the student’s progress at that time. All students have access to grades and attendance records at CCPS’s “FOCUS” site. Log-in information will be given to the student the first week of class. Usernames and passwords can be obtained from a Student Services staff member. The SAP Report (Student Academic Progress) will be used as the progress report for attendance.
Course Progress and Completion
Satisfactory course progress is a requirement for continuing enrollment in any technical program. Grading scales and progress requirements are clearly defined by each program within the course syllabi and are covered in detail during the program orientation session.
Program Completion
Program completion is achieved when all clock hours and standards are met to satisfy the guidelines established by the Florida Department of Education. For those programs greater than 450 hours, a student must meet the TABE, TABE equivalency, or college degree requirement to complete a program. Exemptions for basic skills exit requirements are outlined in Section 1004.91 (F.S.)
All programs at CTC are competency based and follow the State of Florida curriculum frameworks. The program competencies are divided into Occupational Completion Points (OCPs). Students may exit at any OCP and receive a transcript that desig-nates all completed OCPs. Students are encouraged to become program completers.
In order to complete a program, a student must complete all OCPs and have a 75% average for their program along with pass-ing the minimum state requirements for basic skills (TABE) unless exempt. The fee to replace a lost certificate is $5.00.
NOTE: *Some programs may have additional requirements to determine program completer status. See specific Course Program
Information and/or course syllabi.

Student records shall be available only to students and their parents, adult students, designated school officials and personnel, other persons as the parent or adult student authorizes in writing, a court of competent jurisdiction or to other indi-viduals or organizations as permitted by law. The term “parents” includes legal guardians or other persons standing in loco parentis (such as a grandparent or stepparent with whom the child lives, or a person who is legally responsible for the welfare of the child). With regard to records, if a student is eighteen (18) years of age or older, permission, consent, and rights given to the parents shall be given to the adult student only, unless the adult student is a dependent adult student as defined in federal law. The School District may, in this instance, disclose personally identifiable information from the education records to parents or guardians without the prior consent of the dependent adult student. School Board Policy 8330
Student record files contain information needed for making educational decisions for the student. Student records are treated confidentially and contain information that is relevant, accurate, and appropriate. Personal records are released to the follow people without written consent
of the student: Person( s) with legal custody of children under eighteen.
Notification of Rights under FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) certain
rights with respect to the student’s education records. These rights are:
1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 30 days of the day the school received request for access. Par-ents or eligible students should submit to the school principal (or appropriate school official) a written request that identifies the records they wish to inspect. The school official will make arrangement for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate. Parents or eligible students may ask the school to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. They should write the school principal (or appropriate official), clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the school will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent
that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school
officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the school as an administrator, supervisor, instructor,
or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the School Board; a
person or company with whom the school has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or
therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another
school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an
education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the school discloses education records without
consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the School District to comply with the
requirement of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Policy for Re-enrollment of Veterans Withdrawn From School by Administrative Action
A detailed narrative of the reasons leading up to administrative withdrawal of a full-time student, as well as the exit conference notes, are
kept in the student’s school records.
These notes are reviewed in a conference with the student at the time they request re-enrollment.

Examples of this include:
Academic withdrawal—remediation in the Adult Learning Center and a variety of other assignments
Attendance problem—reliable transportation, job adjustment, back-up childcare, resolution of health problems
Substance abuse—completion of rehabilitation program
Re-enrollment students are given priority over other prospective students on the program waiting list.
Standard tuition is $2.92 per clock hour for the 2018-19 academic year. Other fees may apply as listed on the program pages. Shopping sheet will be given to qualified veteran when enrolled in school. Any further questions on tuition, fees and funding can be addressed with the business
office.
Veteran’s Attendance Policy Early departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of a class period will be counted as an absence. Students exceeding ___20___% total absences in a calendar month will be terminated from their VA benefits for unsatisfactory attendance. In order to show that the cause of unsatisfactory attendance has been removed, students must show good attendance (as defined) for one calen-dar month after being terminated for unsatisfactory attendance. After such time, the student may be recertified for VA education benefits. The student’s attendance record will be retained in the veteran’s file for USDVA and SAA audit purposes.

Cell Phone & Electronic Device Policy
While the School Board recognizes the importance of technology in our society and the importance of integrating technology into our class-rooms, the Board also requires students to use technology in an appropriate and responsible way. For the purpose of this policy, electronic or wireless devices are defined as those which provide communication by text, voice or picture such as cell phones, tablets, book readers, laptops and the like. Student use of cellular phones or other electronic or wireless devices is strictly prohibited at any time once the school day begins unless specific permission is granted by the instructor or administrator or is specific to the 504 or IEP plan. The Board is not financially responsible for electronic or wireless devices that are lost or stolen on campus, nor is the Board responsible for any data lost while connected to our network. In addition, the schools maintain the right to disable any device connected to our network.
Social Media and Websites
Students are not permitted to utilize, create, or post social media or websites representing themselves as a school or a school official. Students who use any form of social media or messaging , regardless of the time of day, may face disciplinary consequences related to cyberbullying, threatening behaviors or false reporting when the communication disrupts the educational environment of the school. Taking, sending, soliciting, forwarding or receiving pictures of a sexual nature via an electronic device is against the law and could get a student into serious trouble not only with the school, but with the law, as well.
Cheating and Plagiarism
The School Board of Charlotte County strongly believes that academic honesty must be practiced by all its students. In accordance with the school district’s mission to provide an innovative educational environment that allows and inspires success for everyone, it is incumbent on the Board to take an unwavering stand on academic integrity. Students are expected to act as responsible individuals, to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity both personally and academically, and to respect the rights of others. The School Board considers these standards to be essential to its academic mission.
Cheating is generally defined as the inappropriate and deliberate distribution or use of information, notes, materials, or work of another person in the completion of an academic exam, test or assignment which includes plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of taking ideas or writings from another and offering them as one’s own. Cheating is wrong. As students develop values through their school years, virtue and honor will be emphasized as the cornerstone to a prosperous, abundant career and personal life. Therefore, instances of cheating, in any form, will be considered a critical breach of character and integrity as well as a serious violation of the Code of Student Conduct punishable by measures deemed appropriate by school and district officials. Parents shall be notified of all instances of cheating. Violation of this portion of the Code of Student Conduct, as in the “Definitions of Infractions” in this document may result in the loss of eligibility for local scholarships, loss of honors, awards, and membership in extracurricular activities. A student whose actions enable others to cheat (e.g., stealing or selling a test) will be considered to have committed a particularly serious violation of this Code of Student Conduct which will result in the strongest of consequences related to the nature of the incident including, if applicable, referral to law enforcement.
Computer Use
Charlotte Technical College is equipped with computers, networks and on-line telecommunications for student and staff use. Charlotte Technical College has a written technology plan specific to this site which compliments and is an extension of the Charlotte County Public Schools technology plan.

which you will be hired; therefore, will be included as a part of the overall employability grade within your program. It must be visible at all times
while on campus. IDs are given to students upon initial enrollment and are programmed to allow access for the student through the campus during
the specified times as set forth by school security. If lost/misplaced, a new ID must be purchased in the School Store for $10.00
