Attendance will be recorded for massage courses. Students will be required to make up any hours missed, depending on content of missed hours. Attendance will be deemed unsatisfactory if more than 8% class hours are missed. Students who miss the first class session, without prior approval from the administrator, will be dismissed. The administrator, at her discretion, may dismiss a student for unsatisfactory attendance or behavior. Re-admittance may be permitted if the cause for unsatisfactory attendance has been corrected.
Students are expected to be respectful of fellow students and teachers, show up on time, ready to learn, and maintain a good level of energy for class attending. Any student may be dismissed at the discretion of the administrator for intoxicated or drugged behavior, inappropriate or disruptive behavior, or repeated absence/tardies. Creating a safety hazard to other persons at the school is grounds for immediate dismissal. Students are asked to leave valuables at home.
