Great question. Overall, we default to the American Red Cross Instructor Manuals RE late students. This means that it is up to your discretion how to treat late students. Recommendation: If a student is too late and will impact the quality of your class, please know that Focus Health will stand behind your decision. The student should be directed to contact us and reschedule their class. As we all know, many students travel far distances for our classes and may require the class for work compliance. We ask that all instructors show compassion and professionalism for all situations.
