PBEM can only certify you as a NET if you complete all Basic Training units. If you miss a day of class, your Coordinating Instructor will inform you of makeup opportunities. Trainees sometimes ask: Should I ''not'' sign up for Basic NET if you know you will have a prior commitment for one of the class periods? Generally, '''''no''''', you should sign up for the class series and take a makeup class later.

==== Weather Delays & Cancellations ====
Especially in winter, the weather can sometimes make travel too dangerous to meet.
* If the schedule must be changed on any day you are scheduled to attend class, the NET Coordinator will notify you via email ASAP, but '''no later than 07:00am that day.'''
* When weather ''could'' be a factor, the NET Coordinator will update the Basic NET Status page '''by 07:00am''' each day of scheduled classes: [[BNT Status|https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/BNT_Status]] Note the date & time stamp near the top.
* All that aside, '''every one of us is required to put our own safety first'''. If you feel that travelling to any class will be dangerous, please do not come. It's simple: Just like if you wake up feeling ill. No one will ever be penalized for choosing safety. If you must make up missed Segments with a future cohort, so be it.
