ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
     Zoo Tech 1.0 and Zoo Tech 2.0 each consist of 720 practical clock hours broken down into 24 weeks of 30 hours per week. Students will be required to be on the zoo grounds for a maximum of (10) ten hours per day. Employment or opposing work schedules are not recommended as they may interfere with progress in the program. Students will receive two weeks off each 6 month course (either during or between courses). The scheduling of such time off must be approved by the instructors. Also, other time off for special circumstances may be arranged at the discretion of the instructors and will be considered on an “as needed” basis. Clock hours must be kept current regardless of time off granted. Any other absences must be made up prior to the completion of the quarter in which they occurred. Failure to make up missed classes or Zoo duties will result in no grade given and dismissal from the program. Unless specified, without written notice, the dismissal date will be as described in the “Official Termination Date” section.
