SGNC Gurmatt Class Rules
SGNC Gurmatt Classes are managed by SGNC Education Committee. This committee is governed by SGNC By-laws and is accountable to SGNC BOT and BOD. Under no circumstances any of the rules of Gurmatt Classes or other activities can violate SGNC By-laws or wishes of BOD or BOT. SGNC BOD and BOT, in turn, are bound by The Sikh Reht Maryada of Akal Takhat Saheb. Which means that Gurmatt Class rules must conform to SGPC Reht Maryada.
- Enrollment
- Students must register for classes, and must be placed using Assessment Exam (no new students are permitted to start mid-term, and no students can advance to next level in mid-term except in extreme circumstances)
- Assessment Exams determine student placement in appropriate level of study and advancement after completion of term

- Students must turn in all homework assignments completed
- Students not attending at or above 60% will need to turn in all homework to maintain enrollment status in school
