Students receive a grade report at the end of each semester. Those who received a QUALITY POINT AVERAGE of 3.7 (A- or better, with no grade below B+), qualify for the Dean’s List. All courses are evaluated in terms of clock hours.

A temporary grade of Incomplete may be given by the instructor after consultation with the Administration. It is used when a student, because of some unavoidable circumstances,has been unable to complete the course or has not handed in assignments related to the course. The instructor must certify that the student’s work is passing at this point.

The grade of Incomplete shall revert to a permanent Incomplete if the student does not complete all work by the end of the two (2) week make-up period. A CQPA will not be assigned to a student receiving a permanent Incomplete grade.

Before annual promotion and prior to receiving a Certificate of Completion, a student must complete all assigned work in each course, attain a minimum grade of 2.0 in each course, meet the standards of attendance and conduct, and fulfill all financial obligations to the school.

A transcript will be provided after all requirements are met at the end of each semester.

In addition, a student may be placed on probation at the discretion of the Administration when a student’s work falls below the grade of C. Such probation shall last only until the student is able to raise his grades to a passing level.

If a student is on probation with either a C- or Incomplete at the end of the semester in more than one subject, he may be liable for dismissal for unsatisfactory progress. The probationary period for make-up of an Incomplete or Failure grade begins on the last day of each semester. A maximum of two weeks will be permitted for the make-up of an Incomplete or Probationary grade. All probations may be lifted when the student provides adequate make-up work as approved by their instructor in that specific subject and the Administration.

All new students are on probation for the first semester following enrollment. Students who have attained satisfactory grades in all courses may continue with their studies.

When a student is dismissed from the school for not making SAP in their education program, they are notified they can come back in September to repeat the program year they were studying. The maximum time frame cannot be longer than 150 percent of 2775 clock hours.

The Joe Kubert School does not allow transfer of credits as our courses are unique.

Any student not making SAP is dismissed from the school. A Student can appeal the decision of not making SAP, it will be evaluated by the President, Vice President, Administrator and Academic Supervisor. Based on all available data a decision will be made and that student can return the following fall semester.

The Kubert School does not allow for a Leave of Absence over two weeks. A student may apply for a short Leave of Absence, 1-2 weeks, by requesting it in writing from the school. If the student is in good academic standing with a C or better and the student is capable of making up the work,the short leave of absence will be granted. If the leave of absence lasts longer than 2 weeks, the student will be able to repeat the year starting in the following fall semester and withdraw from the school as per the school’s withdrawal policy.

The Disability Services Office works to ensure that any students with documented disabilities or certified learning differences receive reasonable accommodations in accordance with the policies underlying Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and ADA Amended Acts (ADAAA) of 2010. Students receive services and accommodations while completing regular course offerings, and all students are held to the same academic standards.

If a student does not feel that the school has adequately addressed a complaint or concern, the student may consider contacting the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL). The student must submit a written complaint form to the NJDOL. A copy of the NJDOL Complaint Form is available at the School and may be obtained by contacting the Main Office.

The Complaint/Grievance Policy and Procedure can be found on our website under Student Services or by visiting it here.
