Students with Disabilities/Special Needs:

The School will happily consider all individuals who may have Special Needs.  As our goal is to provide the best learning experience and success for all students. We will work with all prospective students to assure we can accommodate their needs whenever possible.  However, given the fact that not all people are right for every profession, the school will review each case individually with the potential success of the individual and the realistic accommodations of the School in mind.  The School does retain the right to discontinue or decline education if we are unable to provide the accommodations necessary.

Enrollment:

The start date will be determined by Director on an annual basis.  If the school is at maximum capacity, enrollment will be accepted with a registration fee and will be assigned a start date no later than 90 days of enrollment.

Postponement of Start Date

Postponement of a starting date, whether at the request of the school or the student, requires a written agreement signed by the student and the school.  The agreement must set forth:

1. Whether the postponement is for the convenience of the school or the student, and;
2. A deadline for the new start date, beyond which the start date will not be postponed.

If the course is not commenced, or the student fails to attend by the new start date set forth in the agreement, the student will be entitled to an appropriate refund of prepaid tuition and fees within 30 days of the deadline of the new start date set forth in the agreement, determined in accordance with the school’s refund policy and all applicable laws and rules concerning the Private Occupational Education Act of 1981.

Students who are unable to continue classes for medical reasons or severe personal issues will be required to take a leave of absence until they are able to return to class.  Leaves of absence are granted on a case by case basis for a maximum of 30 days.  See previous Leave of absence information.  Re-admittance on a case by case basis, at the discretion of the Director.

Progress Policy:

Students must maintain an 80% grade point average.  Those who do not will be placed on probation for 30 days.  During the probation period students must raise their grade average to passing or higher.  The student may be terminated if grades are not satisfactory at the end of the probationary period.  Termination shall be at the school Director’s discretion.  The Director has final authority and shall notify the student of the final decision.

Students must also sign attached Code of Conduct and Definitions of Code of Conduct.

 

Dismissal:

Any student may be dismissed for violations of rules and regulations of the school, as set forth in school publications.  A student also may be withdrawn from classes if he or she does not prepare sufficiently, neglects assignments, or makes unsatisfactory progress.  The director, after consultation with all parties involved, makes the final decision.
