Sufficient Course Progress
A student must maintain sufficient progress through the midpoint of the course in order to maintain enrollment beyond the mid-term. ABTU will check a student’s progress through the first 4 weeks of the course, to ensure they are making sufficient weekly progress through the course. If the student fails to meet the criteria listed below, he/she may be dismissed, and receive a grade of “W” for the course. Fees and tuition for the course will be assessed in accordance with the refund policy.

Students who fail to meet the Week 1 and Week 4 (Midterm) minimum requirements are at risk of being dismissed for lack of sufficient course progress. Dismissal will be at the discretion of ABTU. Extenuating circumstances, such as medical issues and homework extensions approved by the instructor will be taken into consideration.
