- Required Acknowledgement of Attendance Requirements
One of the main benefits of this program is the knowledge and idea sharing that will go on between attendees in all modules. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that all fellows make every effort to attend each and every module.
Attendees who do not complete each required module will not be able to participate in the recognition ceremony with their class, nor will they be granted their certification of completion until they meet all of the requirements by completing each module.
The application asks you to acknowledge your understanding of the attendance policy. Upon acceptance, one of your recommenders (current direct supervisor) must acknowledge endorsement of the time commitment required to attend the program. It is up to the candidate to communicate this requirement to his or her supervisor.
