b.
c.
d.
e.
If cancellation occurs within five business days of the date of enrollment, and before the
commencement of classes, all monies specific to the enrollment agreement shall be refunded;
If cancellation occurs after five business days of the date of enrollment, and before the
commencement of classes, the school may retain only the published registration fee. Such fee

If withdrawal or termination occurs after the commencement of classes and before
completion of 50 percent of the contracted instruction program, the student shall be charged

the tuition when the amount paid exceeds the charges owed to the school. In addition to the
pro-rated tuition, the school may retain the registration fee, book and supply fees, and other
legitimate charges owed by the student;
i.

2016 Catalog
Attendance Policy
After failure to attend class the first week, the school will attempt to contact the student via email
and phone. It will then become the student’s responsibility to provide written notice to the school
to cancel enrollment. If a registered student is absent from every day of class and has failed to
notify Oregon Medical Training, PCS of the intended withdrawal after completion of 50 percent or
more of the program, the student will forfeit registration, supply fee (if given supplies) and 50
percent tuition.
There is a direct correlation between attendance and student achievement. Any class session or
activity missed, regardless of cause, reduces the opportunity for learning and may adversely affect
a student’s achievement in the course. Class attendance is required beginning with the first class
meeting, and students are expected to attend all class sessions in their entirety for the duration of
the course. This policy is intended to ensure successful completion of course objectives of all
enrolled students.
Whether or not makeup work is available for students is up to the individual instructor.
Oregon Medical Training, PCS recognizes that unexpected events may warrant student absence
from scheduled class times. The following policy describes the expectations and actions to take in
the event of illness or family emergency:
Notification: In the case of absence, the student is required to notify the course instructor.
● Notification must occur prior to the class start time (exceptions may be made in unusual
circumstances at the discretion of the instructor in conjunction with the program director).
● Notification will constitute a good faith effort to contact the instructor according to the
method described on the first meeting of the course. This will usually include either email
or a phone call.
● Notification must be made each day of absence.
● Absences that occur without notification will be considered unexcused.
● Extended absences may preclude the student from obtaining the necessary skill and
knowledge required to progress and complete the course. If a situation arises where a
student may be absent from class for three or greater consecutive classes, the student is
required to notify the instructors who will determine, in conjunction with the program
director, the most appropriate course of action.
● After failure to attend class the first week, the school will attempt to contact the student via
email and phone. It will then become the student’s responsibility to provide written notice
to the school to cancel enrollment. If a registered student is absent from every day of class
and has failed to notify Oregon Medical Training, PCS of the intended withdrawal after
completion of 50 percent or more of the program, the student will forfeit registration,
supply fee (if given supplies) and 50 percent tuition.
Excused Absence due to Injury or Illness: Injury or illness of self or dependent family member
may prevent students from attending class.
●
●
No greater than two occurrences of absence due to medical illness or injury will be
considered excused. An occurrence is defined as a single absence for a continuous period
of time.
Any occurrence greater than two days of duration due to medical illness or injury will
require a prompt doctor’s note upon return to class.
8
2016 Catalog
Excused Absence due to Family Emergencies
● No more than one class absence due to a family emergency will be excused.
● In order to consider the event a family emergency a relative or person living in the
student’s home must be involved.
● In an emergency, notification may be difficult, but the student should expect to notify
instructors as soon as possible and no greater than 24 hours following the incident.
Tardiness
Students are expected to arrive to class on time. Tardiness in excess of 15 minutes will be
counted as an absence.
Unexcused Absence
● Greater than two occurrences of unexcused absences will result in termination from the
course. The student will be terminated on the third occurrence of absence and a refund, if
applicable (not more than 50% of class completed) will be based on the last day of
attendance.
● Unexcused absences include:
➢ Each occurrence of absence due to illness/injury or family emergency following
the maximum allowable occurrences that are considered excused as defined in
the section above.
➢ Each instance of tardiness in excess of 15 minutes
➢ Failure to stay for the duration of class with the exception of being dismissed by
the instructor.
➢ Failure to notify instructors of absence as defined in the notification section
above.
Maximum Time Allowed to Complete Program
The maximum time allowed to complete any program is the last day of class as stated in the School
Calendar, unless otherwise approved by the program director. In circumstances where the director
has approved extending the maximum allowable time beyond the last day of class, the student will
be required to sign a new enrollment agreement indicating the new terms of the agreement between
the student and Oregon Medical Training, Inc. The cost per hour of extending the course will be
billed at $50/hr.

provide the instructor/program director/ course administrator written medical release to participate in all
course activities from their physician. Oregon Medical Training, PCS is not responsible for any
exacerbation of the problem that may occur from the students continued participation in the course.
The EKG Technician course incorporates the practice of performing EKG’s on fellow students and all
students are expected to participate as providers and recipients of EKG testing. The instructor reserves
the right to exclude any student from performing or receiving an EKG procedure based upon the
appropriateness of the situation. Doing this ensures that all students are treated fairly and safely
The Phlebotomy Technician course incorporates the practice of invasive procedures. All students must
be willing to participate both as providers and recipients of phlebotomy. The instructor reserves the right
to exclude any student from performing or receiving a phlebotomy procedure based upon the
appropriateness of the situation. Doing this ensures that all students are treated fairly and safely.
Students may be exposed to potentially infectious materials, primarily students enrolled in the
Phlebotomy Technician course, and therefore Standard Precautions and Universal Precautions must be
followed at all times to ensure safety of all students. Strict observance of these precautions is
mandatory. Failure to comply may result in expulsion from this course. If exposure does occur,
students and staff are expected to follow the procedures for exposure as described in the safety manual.
Safety Precautions
The CDC recommends the use of Standard Precautions to prevent transmission of
microorganisms from known and unknown sources in the healthcare setting. Blood and most
body fluids and secretions are considered potentially infectious regardless of the known status of
the source patient. For the purposes of this course, Standard Precautions will be applied when
