TESTING FEE: $12 per student + regular class fee
Note:
The “testing fee” is paid for through the APP as well, please check on the
“testing” fee button to pay the $12 testing fee the day of testing.
IMPORTANT TESTING INFORMATION
1. Testing will be held at your regular class times – we try
to stay within each classes time frame, however with large classes we may run a
few minutes over, we appreciate your patience if this does occur.
2. Perfect attendance is required before testing. Students will be allowed to test
if they have 1 or 2 absences, if the absences are paid and the “make-up”
classes are attended before the semester ends. Students with 3 or more
absences will not be allowed to test this session but should still plan on
attending class. Speak to your instructor or class assistant for
more information on make-ups. Make-ups cannot be done on testing night due to
time constraints.
3. All
students are required to attend class on testing day; however, they are
NOT required to test. Students who do not want to test will participate in a
practice test.
4. The fee for testing is $12.00 plus the regular class fee.
If you have prepaid the entire semester you will be charged $12.00 for testing.
On testing night, students will individually check in with the class assistant
or instructor.
5. Belts are NOT sold; they are earned by students! Belts
are free to students when they pass the test.
6. Spectators are not allowed to watch during testing.
The students are nervous enough without an audience. Furthermore, we need a
quiet atmosphere for the testing. We appreciate your understanding and support!
7. Testing day/night may run a little longer than a normal
class, we appreciate your patience!
8. Students are always encouraged to practice outside of
class, but if they have attended class regularly, they should be adequately
prepared for the testing!
9. Do not call the office or the instructor to see if a
student passed. Certificates and awards will be presented on Awards Night/Day,
which will be held on the dates below. Information on the ceremony will be
provided the week after testing. Remember that ALL students having perfect
attendance will receive a certificate.
10. Students are increasing in rank exactly as they should
be if they advance one rank at a time. Some students will skip ranks if the
instructor thinks that they are ready.
