Administration
Policies
Students are required to give 2-3 massages per week for the duration
of the program. A journal must be kept to record and document
every massage. In order to graduate, a minimum of 95 hours of
documented massage is required for the 625 hr program and a minimum
of 145 hours is required for the 750 hr program. In addition,
students should allocate time for required study groups, reading,
journal assignments and study time to assimilate the material
presented in class.
All grading is done on a pass/fail system. Grades will not rely
on the sole use of written examinations, but will rely heavily
on student evaluations. Evaluations will be based upon class discussions,
behavior and participation, journals, attendance, and promptness.
This is a practice-oriented program. The nature of Healing Spirits'
curriculum requires a commitment from students to concentrate
on the material between class sessions, as well as during class-time.
Students will be asked to evaluate their own progress throughout
the program, and will receive either oral or written feedback
as each third of the program is completed.
Students are expected to attend all classes. Any classes missed
must be made up. Students are not allowed to miss more than 10%
of the entire program. Please take note that it may be necessary
to make up missed information privately with an instructor at
a charge of $40 - 60 per hour. Consistent and/or repeated tardiness
demonstrates a lack of respect for the instructor and fellow participants
and is strongly discouraged.
A student may be dismissed for any of the following reasons:
-
Consistent failure to turn completed homework in on time;
-
Having excessive
absences and/or chronic lateness;
-
Attending classes
under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
-
Behaving in a
manner that may be harmful to the students, faculty, learning
environment, property or the reputation of the program;
-
Failure to keep
tuition payments current;
-
Breach of privacy
or confidentiality;
-
Inappropriate
sexual behavior;
-
Receiving a failing
grade(s) without making up course work;
-
Removal of supplies
or equipment from the premises without permission;
-
Consistent classroom interruptions due to personal drama.
Students who abuse these rules will be put on a 60 day probation period to allow them to rectify all discrepancies. If this is not achieved within the 60 days, dismissal will ensue.
Students who have
been dismissed or have withdrawn for any reason may re-apply for
future programs at the discretion of the director.
There is a two year
limitation on filing a complaint with the Colorado Department
of Private Occupational Schools. They can be contacted at
1380 Lawrence Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80204-2059;
(303) 894-2960.
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:
-
Whether the postponement
is for the convenience of the school or the student; and
-
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
Act of 1981.
