Attendance Policy
Bartenders’ Union Local 165 Apprentice Training Program
In the Bartenders Apprentice classes, good attendance is a base expectation and the responsibility of all students. Students are expected to arrive on time and stay for the full duration of each scheduled class. When a student reaches 5 points, they will be dropped from the class. Pay stubs are checked every 5 weeks — you must be actively working while attending classes.
Points Means Removal
Accumulating 5 points at any time during the course will result in being dropped from the class. You must then wait one full class cycle before you are eligible to register again.
Points are assessed for the following violations. All points accumulate toward the 5-point removal threshold.
Absence
Students will be given 1 point for every absence. If space is available, you may attend a different session on a first-come basis.
Tardiness
Arriving late earns a ½ point. Students arriving more than 15 minutes after the start time will not be permitted to stay for class.
Leaving Early
Class is 3 hours long. Leaving before class ends for any reason will result in a ½ point.
Sleeping in Class
Students caught sleeping in class will be sent home immediately and issued a ½ point.
Smoking on Campus
Any student caught smoking on campus will be immediately and permanently dropped from the class. No warnings.
The following rules apply to all students during the program. Violations may result in removal from class or campus.
- Early Arrival: You may not enter the campus more than 10 minutes before your class starts.
- Technology: No cell phones, laptops, or tablets are permitted in class.
- Disruption: Untimely talking or laughing, threats of violence, and disrespect toward others will be cause for removal from class.
- Parking: All students must park in designated student parking spaces. Extra parking is available behind CALV in the Church parking lot.
- Security: Security personnel may remove anyone who does not comply with CALV rules in order to maintain a safe environment.
- Pay Stubs: Every 5 weeks, each student must provide a pay stub showing their name, position, and hours worked. You must be actively working while attending classes.
- No Class Switching: There will be no switching of classes during the final month before finals.
Important: If you register and drop out, or are removed under the attendance policy, you must wait one full class cycle before you are eligible to register again.
