Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) Online Classroom Policy
Revised by the Luxury Home Council on: 3/30/2021
Attendance Policy:
One requirement to earn the ALHS Designation is to complete the ALHS Class. Completion requires the student to be
in attendance 100% of the time and to ensure their attendance the Luxury Home Council has implemented the
following policy:
- Each student must pre-register and pay their tuition in advance.
- During the introduction portion of the ALHS Class on Day 1, the instructor performs a roll call and reviews the
rules and regulations that apply to the course for the student to graduate and receive education credits. One
important topic is the adherence to strict attendance requirements and the instructor clearly explains the
importance of each student remaining online and having their video camera always projecting their image. It is also
crucial that each student checks in after breaks and a lunch period. A final roll call will be completed by the
instructor at the end of each day. Throughout the day, the instructor will randomly call upon a student to
participate in the class. This method further confirms the student’s attendance.
- Students are prohibited from using their cell phones, tablets, notepads, PCs, or any other electronic device
that distracts them from the class. If a student utilizes such a device, they are subject to electronic removal from
the class and the student will forfeit any continuing education credits earned to that point. The student will also
be denied the ALHS Designation, and any tuition paid by the student will not be refunded in whole or part.
- The same attendance procedures mentioned in items 2 and 3 above will apply to any subsequent days of teaching.

requirements and the instructor clearly explains the importance of using the Attendance Sheet to sign in and out,
time limited breaks and a monitored lunch period.
- Each student begins Day 1 completing the Attendance Sheet. Breaks are held between sign-in and lunch always
following the requirements of the state education regulating authority. At lunch, each student signs out and then
back in upon their return from lunch. When the student completes Day 1, the student once again signs out before
leaving. Throughout the day, each time a student signs in or out the student must also document the corresponding
hour and time.
- Day 2 (or subsequent days if applicable) are identical to Day 1 as they relate to the Attendance Sheet Rules.
- Being in attendance physically does not solely qualify. Student must also be attentive, alert and participate
in all activities. Therefore, Students are prohibited from using their cell phones, tablets, notepads, PCs, or any
other electronic device that distracts them from the class. If a student utilizes such a device, they are subject
to removal from the class and the student will forfeit any continuing education credits earned to that point. The

whole or part.
- The instructor is required to review Day 1 and Day 2 Attendance Sheets to verify that each student obtained a
100% class attendance record before sending the class package to the Luxury Home Council.

ALHS Courses Cancelled by the Luxury Home Council
Students will receive 100% refund of tuition and fees for an ALHS course cancelled by the Luxury Home Council. Refunds will be distributed back to the students in the exact same manner in which payment was made by the student. Reimbursements will be either by check or credit card credit. Cash is not an acceptable method to pay class tuition and will never be received by the Luxury Home Council therefore cash reimbursements will never take place.

The Luxury Home Council will mail the reimbursement to the student via U. S. Post with a postmarked date on or before 30 days after the originally intended class completion date.
