Prospective students may
enroll anytime up to the start time for any program, contingent on space
being available. No enrollments are taken after the start of a program.
Transfer of Credit:
No credit is accepted for previous training,
education, or experience. The School makes no guarantee, express or implied,
that credits earned at the School are transferable to other institutions.
Placement assistance:
The School offers
assistance by forwarding graduate names and contact information to
employers that make inquiries to the School. The names of all graduates
who have requested this service in the 12 months previous to the employer’s
inquiry are included on the list, with no ranking other than date of
graduation. The School also maintains a job board of position notices
supplied by prospective employers. The School does not actively contact
prospective employers and attempt to place graduates of the School. The
School makes no guarantee, express or implied, of future employment.
Attendance requirements:
Students are expected to
arrive on time for class with proper materials. An overall attendance rate
of at least 80% is required for completion of a program. Instructors may
request your withdrawal from a course or program if excessive absences or
tardiness lead to unsatisfactory progress.
Students who are unable to
continue classes for medical reasons or severe personal problems will be
required to take a leave of absence until they are able to return to
class. Proper documentation will be required to substantiate a student’s
withdrawal. Partial refund will be available within the guidelines and
limitations of the refund policy.
Progress policy:
Due to the short-term nature of all the programs, students will receive
an evaluation only after the completion of the program. This evaluation will
be based on daily reports maintained by the instructors, in which the
instructors will rate the student’s progress in each lab unit, with points
awarded based on quantifiable criteria. Students
will be given reasonable opportunities to repeat labs as necessary to
achieve a satisfactory evaluation. To receive a certificate of completion
for the program, the student must have acceptable attendance and total a
point score of 50% or more of the maximum points for the lab units rated. If
the student has not satisfied the financial obligation of the enrollment,
the certificate will be withheld until the financial obligation is
fulfilled..
