He needs 2 course contracts for U.S. Government! Example #2: Mary Jones started U.S. Government in Fall semester on 8/12/13 and finished on 10/21/13(Fall). She needs 1 course contract for U.S. Government!
Course Contract Fill out Completely! No blank spaces! Name of Student School: Your site name For example: CVA Instructor name: Date: This should be the same as the I.S. Start Date on the Master Agreement!
Fall Course Contract If a student, Like Jesus Martinez, had an I.S. start date on 11/18/2012 (Fall Semester) in U.S. Government, write that date If he didn’t finish in the Fall Semester and is continuing U.S. Government in the Spring, fill out a new (second) course contract and write the first day of the Spring Semester as the date.

Work Samples4 POINT RULE A stamped “original” work sample is required per week. It must have student name on top. It must have a letter grade, check mark, plus sign, or other ”corrected” feature. It must have a “stamp” in the lower right- hand corner It must have S.G.(Study Guide), Chapter number and Page Number
Work Sample “Stamp” Student’s “First” and “Last” Name Dates for the week of web attendance Course name “Hours” of attendance per week (3 hours per day X 5 days, for a total of 15 hours per week) Circle 5% (all the time) Write your signature
Work Sample “Stamp” • Must be in the lower right-hand corner of work sample
Work Sample New Feature: Write SG (Study Guide), Chapter # and Page # in bottom right-hand corner under stamp. WHY? A recommended practice from C.C.I.S. President, so auditors can easily find where the “sample” can be found. We don’t have work record sheets in our files, so this is a quick way for them to find sample curriculum quickly and easily in our “white binders”.
What Happens with a Work Sample During a Holiday? • Write the entire week, for example 2/12/13-2/18/13 in the stamp, but note which day was Holiday and only give hours for 4 days (12/12)
