They may waive the opportunity to attend the hearing.
Members of the Faculty Council, the Dean of Students, and the NHS Advisor will be present at the hearing. The student and parent/guardian may also attend the hearing and the student may provide testimony regarding eligibility. The hearing is confidential and closed to all other persons. The Faculty Council shall determine the eligibility of the National Honor Society student. A majority will determine resolution. The student and parent/guardian shall be informed of the recommendation made by the Faculty Council.

SERVICE HOUR OPPORTUNITIES
Once a NHS student agrees to commit to participate in a service hour opportunity, there is an expectation to attend the activity or obtain a substitute to take their place if they are unable to attend. The NHS advisor should be informed about this change.
Service hour sheets need to be signed by the supervisor who is present at the activity. In addition, a NHS Officer or Advisor who is present at the activity can also sign a service hour sheet. The signature of any other persons will not be considered valid to count towards total service hours.
Service hours are recorded by the secretary of the NHS chapter and are limited to six hours per type of activity. The service must be voluntary and not required to meet an expectation of another club or extracurricular activity. A long duration service project or activity may earn up to twenty five hours of service once per year. Summer hours may be earned after a student is inducted into the National Honor Society.
