Program Enrollment
Students may enroll any time prior to the start of class, but we do encourage applicants to enroll at least two weeks before starting dates in order to guarantee their spot. Enrollment is limited to 20 students per class and all classes need a minimum of six students enrolled to begin. All class schedules are subject to change as needed.

The applicant is notified of acceptance only after their application is reviewed.​
​
Please Note: All classes must have a minimum of 6 students to begin. If we do not have the minimum number of students by the scheduled start date, we may need to postpone allowing more time for enrollments.
​​​​
Payments & Financing
Our standard tuition rate is $23 per clock hour. Our program costs are too low to qualify for government financial aid. However, we offer flexible interest-free payment plans upon request. There are also several scholarships available to students through allied massage organizations. ​​
​​We accept all major credit cards for payments. All card payments will have an additional 4% processing fee added. Students may choose to pay by cash, Zelle or check without additional fees. A $25 fee will be charged for all returned checks
LATE PAYMENTS: Tuition payments must be made on the date agreed upon in the student's Payment Plan. A grace period of 14 days will be given for the student to submit their payment. After the 14 day grace period, the student will not be permitted to attend class until the payment has been received. If a student's tuition payment is delinquent after 60 days, the student will be dropped from the program. They may rejoin a subsequent program once all tuition payments are made current. Students will retain the hours that they’ve already accrued if they reenroll within two (2) years. If it has been more than 2 years when the student reenrolls they will need to audit the hours that were previously taken. Exceptions may be made with director's approval.
​
REFUNDS: A student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund for charges paid through attendance at the first-class session or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. A written notice of cancellation must be submitted to the admin office and cannot be made over the phone. Tuition is refundable on a pro-rated basis. Any refund due to the student will be paid to the student within 30 days of notifying the Director of withdrawal. Upon receiving written notice or withdrawal or cancellations a Withdrawal Calculation form will be filled out and filed both in hard copy and electronically in the student’s file.​​
Attendance Policy
​Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes. No classes are scheduled on legal holidays.* The instructor of each class will record absences and late arrivals. Students can only receive credit for clock hours they attend. Therefore, repeated tardiness will result in a cumulative loss of clock hours. If a scheduled class is missed, classroom hours and instructional material must be completed by the student as soon as possible.
Missed clock hours may be made up by attending the same class with a subsequent program at no additional cost to the student. If it is not possible to attend the same class in a subsequent program, missed clock hours may be made up in tutoring hours of equal time and equivalent content. Students are responsible for keeping a log of their attendance and arranging tutoring with the instructor of the missed class. Tutoring costs are $40/hour for one-on-one in-person, on campus tutoring with a teacher. For two or more students, the cost of tutoring is $20/hour per student while under the supervision of an instructor. All tutoring sessions must be coordinated with both the school administration and instructor.
​
​Failure to complete the hours of classroom attendance required for the course will result in an “incomplete.” Any certificate of completion or transcript will be withheld until all required hours are completed. Missing more than 20% of total program hours will result in an automatic drop, forfeiting all hours and payments unless appropriate arrangements are made and authorized by the administration.
