Requirements for completion
Students must complete mandatory classes. Due to the course's short length, combined with BSIS regulations, 100% attendance is required to complete the course. Should a student miss a portion of the instruction for any reason, the school will make best efforts to remediate that student on time; otherwise, the student may attend subsequent courses to make up the work.
