If a grade of 70 or below is earned on any Exam the student must attend 1 hour of tutoring prior to being able to take subsequent exams.

Attendance

The material covered during class time is often interactive and includes hands-on practice therefor without regular attendance the student will not be able to master the content. This will directly affect the student's ability to become a successful CMA.

Attendance will account for 20% of the final grade and will be assessed not just by showing up, but by being prepared for and participating in class.

Every class day is worth 100 points, 20 points will be deduced lor lack of punctuality up to the first 25 minutes, if the student is more than 25 minutes late they will receive a “0” for that day.
