STUDENT POLICIES
Equal Education Opportunity & Americans with Disabilities Act.
It is the policy of the School to provide equal educational opportunities to all students and student applicants without regard to unlawful considerations of race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, marital status or any other classification protected by applicable local, state or federal laws. This policy prohibits unlawful discrimination based on the perception that anyone has any of those characteristics, or is associated with a person who has or is perceived as having any of those characteristics.
The School expects all students to support our equal education opportunity policy, and to take all steps necessary to maintain a program free from unlawful discrimination and harassment and to accommodate others in line with this policy to the fullest extent required by law.
Moreover, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the School provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities to the fullest extent required by law. The School may require medical certification of both the disability and the need for accommodation. Keep in mind that the School can only seek to accommodate the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual. Therefore, it is your responsibility to come forward if you are in need of an accommodation. The School will engage in an interactive process with the student to identify possible accommodations, if any will help the applicant or student complete the program.
Breastfeeding Accommodations
Instructors are expected to work with female students who are nursing to coordinate lactation requirements. Students will make reasonable efforts to pump between classes or outside of the instruction time. Students should discuss their lactation schedule with their instructors if they require an excused absence to express milk. If required, instructors and students will work together to identify solutions to make up assignments or other course-related study if the student’s lactation schedule conflicts with class activities. Instructors may ask for a doctor’s note to confirm the lactation request so long as other students requesting medically necessary absences are required to do the same.
Personnel Records
The School maintains a personnel file for each student as required by law. Personnel files are the property of the School and may not be removed from School premises without written authorization. Because personnel files are confidential, access to the records is restricted. Generally, only those who have a legitimate reason to review information in a student’s file are allowed to do so. Disclosure of personnel information to outside sources will be limited. However, the School will cooperate with requests from authorized law enforcement or local, state, or federal agencies conducting official investigations and as otherwise legally required.
Employees may contact a Program Coordinator to request a time to review their personnel file. With reasonable advance notice, a student may review his or her own records in the Student office during regular business hours. No copies of documents in your file may be made, with the exception of documents that you have previously signed. You may add your comments to any disputed item in the file.
By policy, the School will provide only the former or present student’s dates of enrollment and position(s) held with the Company. Graduation status may also be verified if written authorization is provided by the student.
Privacy.
The School is respectful of student privacy. All student demographic and personal information will be shared only as required in the normal course of education.
If any student voluntarily shares private healthcare information with an instructor or coordinator, this information will be kept confidential. If applicable, the School will set up guidelines for students and instructors to follow to ensure that students conform to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Political Neutrality.
Maintenance of individual freedom and our political institutions necessitates broad scale participation by citizens concerning the selection, nomination and election of our public office holders. The School will not discriminate against any student because of identification with and support of any lawful political activity. Students are entitled to their own personal political position. The School will not discriminate against students based on their lawful political activity engaged in and outside of school. If you are engaging in political activity, however, you should always make it clear that your actions and opinions are your own and not necessarily those of the School, and that you are not representing the School.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND STUDENT PERFORMANCE
Anti- Harassment and Discrimination.
The School is committed to providing a work environment free of sexual or any form of unlawful harassment or discrimination. Harassment or unlawful discrimination against individuals on the basis of race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, marital status or any other classification protected by local, state or federal laws is illegal and prohibited by School policy. Such conduct by or towards any student, instructor, coordinator, or anyone else who does business with the School will not be tolerated. Any student, instructor, or coordinator who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of his or her enrollment, employment or engagement. To the extent a patient, client, vendor or other person with whom the School engages in business with does unlawful harassment or discrimination, the School will take appropriate corrective action.

Other forms of unlawful harassment or discrimination may include racial epithets, slurs and derogatory remarks, stereotypes, jokes, posters or cartoons based on race, national origin, age, disability, marital status or other legally protected categories. Prohibited harassment might also be transmitted using the School’s electronic communications system, or through other online conduct.
Complaint Procedure:
Students, instructors, or coordinators who feel that they have been harassed or discriminated against, or who witness any harassment or discrimination by a student, instructor, coordinator, patient, client, vendor or anyone else who does business with the School, should immediately report such conduct to their supervisor or any other member of faculty.
Do not allow an inappropriate situation to continue by not reporting it, regardless of who is creating the situation. No student, instructor, coordinator, patient, client, vendor or other person who does business with this organization is exempt from the prohibitions in this policy. In response to every complaint, the School will conduct an investigation which may involve interviewing witnesses if warranted and, if improper conduct is found, take appropriate corrective action.
Discipline and Standards of Conduct.
As a student, the School may impose discipline whenever it determines it is necessary or appropriate. Discipline may take various forms, including verbal counseling, written warnings, suspension, or termination from program. The discipline imposed will depend on the circumstances of each case; therefore, discipline will not necessarily be imposed in any particular sequence. Moreover, at any time the School determines it is appropriate, a student may be terminated from the program immediately.
Every organization must have certain standards of conduct to guide the behavior of students. Although there is no possible way to identify every rule of conduct, the following is an illustrative list (not intended to be comprehensive or to limit the School’s right to impose discipline for any other conduct it deems inappropriate). Keep in mind that these standards of conduct apply to all students whenever they are on School property and/or conducting School business (on or off School property).
