To be admitted a student must be a high school graduate or the equivalent, and be evaluated through an interview. There is no entrance test. For Continuing Education courses 100 hours of massage certification are required. Some courses may have additional requirements as noted.
Tuition is to be paid in full at the beginning of the course. For massage intensives we ask that you pay a deposit of 50% of each course plus a $100 registration fee (nonrefundable). Continuing Ed courses are to be paid in full at time of registration. Please note that the school charges $10 for any returned checks.
Attendance will be recorded at each class. Students failing to maintain satisfactory attendance will be required to make up any hours missed. 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. 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.
