Curricular Requirements

• A student must schedule the classes required by the AOIT curriculum in sequence to remain in the AOIT program and to qualify for the AOIT internship program.
• If a student fails a class that is a prerequisite for a technology class in the next school year, that student will not be eligible to remain in the AOIT program.
• If a student fails to meet the requirements for the AOIT internship, that student will not be eligible for the internship program and will not be eligible to remain in the AOIT program.
• If a student does not participate in the internship program because of ineligibility, through failure to meet internship preparation deadlines, or through student choice, that student will not be eligible to remain in the AOIT program.
• If a student does participate in the internship program but does not complete the internship or receive a passing grade for it, that student will not be eligible to remain in the AOIT program.
• If a student does not participate in the internship program through no fault of his/her own (e.g., not enough internship opportunities available), that student will not be penalized. However, the student will be required to participate in a suitable alternative developed by the AOIT Directors.
• Any student who is removed from the AOIT program will be returned to the regular student program at the high school in which attendance zone he/she lives.
• If a student chooses to leave the Academy after the internship, that student will not be allowed to take Academy technology classes in the senior year.
• Since Academy resources (staff development, faculty assignments, internship placement, etc.) are dedicated each year to make the senior year successful, students and parents must be committed to fulfill the internship and senior year requirements.
