Policy Title: Skills Lab Cancellations

Status: Active

Policy:

Students are strongly discouraged from canceling a scheduled Skills Lab, as doing so may delay their course progression and overall program completion.

In the event that a student must cancel a lab for an emergent or unavoidable reason, they must notify Axon as soon as possible. Students are responsible for rescheduling themselves into another available lab and are expected to remain proactive in managing their training schedule.

The institution recognizes that emergencies occur; however, students are ultimately responsible for their own success, time management, and professional accountability within the program. Students should carefully plan their Skills Labs and other commitments — including coursework, employment, and clinical or field shifts — to avoid scheduling conflicts.

If a student decides not to attend a scheduled Skills Lab, they must formally cancel their registration within the student portal. Failure to cancel and remaining on the roster will result in the student being marked as a no-show, which may have significant consequences for course progress and program standing.

A no-show is defined as any cancellation that is not received at all or is received after the cancellation deadline. The cancellation deadline is 11:59 PM five days before the scheduled session.

If a student cancels two Skills Lab sessions of the same type, this may trigger a review by the Teaching Team to assess the student’s overall progress and engagement in the program. Repeated cancellations may also result in academic or financial penalties should the student wish to continue registering for future labs.
