In Class and Correspondence
Rules to Courses

Completion Time /Duration

• The date stated is the date or post marked date (mailed) for completion of the *individual courses you are taking.

• Meaning all homework, assignments, exams- written and practical and all case studies must be completed and handed in before or no later than that date.

• We have allowed two extra weeks for the duration when a course is mailed by post (the end date/duration date is already including the two weeks). 

• *Correspondence students that have a Canadian student loan, grant or being sponsored for any of the Certificate /Diploma programs have to be completed all courses by the completion date/duration on the student loan/sponsors contract. Individual courses within the program must be completed no later than the college's completion time/duration.
  

In Class Students

Completion Time /Duration

• All dates are given in your calendar of classes, exams and practicum (practicum-diploma students only).
• Make sure your homework is given to us at least one week ahead of an exam, so that we can mark it and give it back for you to study.
• We do expect that you are doing 10-20 case studies a week plus written homework.
• Because of the accelerated schedule, in class students have one month after the duration date (from your contract) to complete any remaining (only) case studies. This has nothing to do with your Sponsors end date (EI, Student loans etc.).

In Class & Correspondence

Extensions:

• For medical or bereavement rea­sons only, students may apply for one extension in their entire program duration with proof.
• The application for extension must be made in writing before the end date, with a doctor's note attached stating a date that the student can return to studies. (If going to be longer than three weeks a student will be dismissed from the course / program).
• Applications for extension which do not include a doctor's note will be refused. "I was just too busy this summer" is, unfortunately, not grounds for an extension.
• If a student is unsuccessful, at the discretion of CINHH, he/she can choose to take the course over again at full price. If being sponsored or have a grant or student loan, you must follow their contract rules.

Assignments:

• Introduction to Business, Introduction to Pathology, Introduction to Herbs, Introduction to Nutrition/Fitness and Aromatherapy students are required to submit assignments by the end of their courses.
• Each completed assignment will be filed in your permanent record and may not be re­turned to you.
• Please ensure you have a copy if you wish to reference it at a later date.
• With the exception of Introduction to Business, the assignment must be a minimum of 750 words (3 pages) in length, and include a covering page, opening paragraph, body, conclusion and bibliography.

Homework:

You will find the homework in the front of the manual for most of the introductory courses and the back of the manual for all others.

Courses that include homework can be submitted for marking by:

• Mail 
• E-mail (make sure you receive a reply we recieved it)
• Please do not fax without prior approval.
• Homework will be returned.
• Your exam(s) is from your homework; if you study your re­turned homework, you should have an easy time passing your final exam.

Homework may take up to one (1) week to be marked and exams may take up to two (2) weeks to be marked, graded and recorded. Every effort is made to mark these items in a timely manner.

Case Studies:

• These are approximately one hour practical sessions (hands on) that you will be doing on family and friends.
• You can use your notes while doing a case study.
• Sessions might take you twice as long in the beginning but you will get quicker as you practice.
• You can not charge money for the case studies if you do not have a certificate. If someone tips you that is allowed but you can never ask or expect a tip. This is part of your schooling.
• Other than Iridology you can do one person many times over. Try to have a few different people so you get the experience of different body types.

Clothes & Jewelry:

• Your clothing should fit and never have ties, strings or open jackets that can rub on a client.
• Your shirts need to be high enough that when you bend over no one can see down the cleavage.
• Skirts are to be below the knee when you sit and never wear jeans or shorts with a client.
• You should look professional!
• If you like you can buy a smock and wear it. Most Estheticians wear white but most Day Spas are all black or black pants and white top.
• No hand or arm jewelry should ever be worn while doing any practical sessions.
• Also check your necklaces that they are not long enough to touch a client.
• No part of your body, other than your hands or arms should ever touch a client (too distracting when a client is in a relaxed state).

Exams:

• All exams, practical and written, are closed book.
• You must order your exam to be sent to your proctor at least two weeks in advance.
• Written exams are part of many courses and the student is responsible to find his/her own proctor to administer the exam.
• A proctor may be a Librarian, teacher, principal, lawyer, notary public, physician, minister or priest.
• Many students contact their local librarians to proctor their written exams. Some libraries charge a fee, others do not.
• Your written exam will be mailed to your proctor in a sealed envelope.
• You are responsible for making your own appointment; showing up for the exam on time and have money for the postage for the return envelope (it is in the exam package).
• Please e-mail us the proctor's name and address. If you do not receive an e-mail stating we have received your info please call us. 1-866-763-2418

The minimum passing grade on any exam is 80%.
If you must rewrite a written exam or retake a practical exam, you have up to two weeks to do so. There is a charge of:

• $20.00 for the first re­write
• $50.00 for the second.
• If three exams/courses (same/separate course(s) in one program) are failed, the student will be expelled from the program or course in which he/she is regis­tered.

Practical exams are part of many courses.
This is a closed book exam no charts or anything (with exception of Muscle Testing practical exam). 
Make sure it you are professional: no interruptions- people, children, pets, telephones, etc.
The student is responsible for providing his/her own Video Camera and tape or DVD.

Please ensure that the video has a good view of everything you are doing in your treatment.
WE NEED TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT ALL TIMES!

Please ensure your video is in DVD, mini DVD, VHS or Mini­ DV60SE only.
Make sure you finalize the DVD's!
If unsure of your format, please phone ahead to ask.
Recordings might be returned. They are now the property of the college.

Diploma Programs:

A valid CPR and First Aid certificate is required at students own expense before the time you graduate from the Wholistic Practitioner, Esthetician and Natural Health Practitioner programs.

Certificate and Diplomas:

Once you have completed all pre required courses plus the certificate course you will start to receive individual certificates and once you have completed all required certificates you will receive the diploma(s). This allows you to earn money, get a business license and insurance.

All individual course and program names are called by their legal name; students can not change or advertise any made up name(s). Example you can not call yourself; Massage Therapist, Massage Practitioner or any combination. The Massage Therapist Association has a trade mark /copy write on these names.

Certified, Registered or Licensed are all legal names meaning you have taken a government exam and/or through an association. Our school does not grant you these titles.

You will have a certificate / diploma  or you are an Esthetician, Natural Health Practitioner, Wholistic Practitioner, Spa Massage Practician, Aromatherapist, Reflexologist, Nail Technician, Day Spa Practitioner, Reiki Master, Intuitive Practitioner, Hypnotherapy or any of our individual named certificates.
We are very proud to have our certificate and diploma names known all over the world.
