program. See student handbook for college policy on academic
dishonesty and disciplinary problems. This level of development
in a students' training is crucial to their professional
development and success; any student that is disruptive or

the client floor are expected to conduct themselves in a
professional manner. Loud boisterous conduct or refusing to
serve a client will constitute grounds for dismissal from the
program.

There will be no make-up for missed unit exams. Make-up for a
missed mid-term or final test will be permitted only if the student
informs the instructor in advance. The student must make

test would not be the same as the test given to the rest of the
