A student withdrawing from an individual course, but not the program, must complete an Add/Drop Slip, which becomes effective when received by the Administration. When a class is dropped the students account will be adjusted according to individual contract specifications, i.e. full-time, part-time or others, such as audit.

Leave of Absence

No leave of absence will be granted without an appointment with the Chief Administrator. Leaves of absences are granted only for students who have completed a minimum of one quarter at MTIC and for one quarter at a time. Students must be in good academic and financial standing. Prior to the extension of the original leave, one extension may be granted after consideration of the student’s academic record and educational plans during the leave. A leave of absence has the same effect as withdrawing from the program. Students absent for more than one quarter without an approved leave must apply for readmission.

Readmission

Students accepted for readmission are subject to the same curriculum and conditions applicable to a first-time applicant as stated in the catalog, which is current at the time of reapplication.

Any student who is absent for more than one quarter from the school without prior arrangement with the institution must reapply and be admitted through the normal admissions process.

Conduct Policy

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. Failure to uphold the standards of this school will result in dismissal. The following misconducts may lead to dismissal.

A. Failure to maintain passing grades
B. Poor attendance record
C. Failure to pay tuition
D. The use of illegal drugs, disorderly behavior, destruction of property or harassment of students, faculty or clients.
E. Unprofessional behavior (foul language, poor grooming, etc.)
F. Sexual misconduct as defined by the Massage Therapy Laws and regulations, will result in dismissal and if applicable loss of certification to practice.
G. Any action deemed to be in violation of school policy and ethics.

Withdrawal/Termination

A student may voluntarily withdraw or terminate the enrollment contract at any time upon written notification to the School. Such notification will be entered into the student’s record. Failure to withdraw/terminate properly may result in the assignment of failing grades that become part of the student’s permanent record. An exit interview with the Chief Administrator is recommended for all students who withdraw/terminate.

The official date of withdrawal or termination shall be either:

1) The date on which the School receives written notice of the students intention to discontinue the program of study; or
2) When th student quits coming to class, or
3) The date on which the student violates published school policy for termination.
