Summary:
The claimant is appealing his disentitlement for failing to demonstrate good cause for being dismissed from his training course to which he was referred by the Commission or a designated authority. Conflict arose between the claimant and the administration. The claimant is alleged to have failed to observe the regulations of the school and the student's code of conduct. Documentary evidence suggests the claimant was reprimanded before being dismissed from the school. Finally, the college Registrar advised him he had to withdraw from classes. The record indicates there are three instances for a student to withdraw from class. One, a student's desire to withdraw; second, not maintaining a passing grade; third, misbehaviour which results in expulsion. It is behaviour which compelled the authorities to ask the claimant to withdraw. The Board found the reasons offered by the claimant for not following the rules do not amount to good cause as he did not act as a reasonable person would have acted in similar circumstances. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
