Student
refunds are prorated, with the student being refunded all

Books
are subject to change. Prospective students should contact the
school before purchasing any books. A list of recommended texts will
be provided to each student during the course of study. Students
will be supplied with a binder and class notes.
Student
Services
A
video lending library of most class materials is available to
students and graduates. A collection of supplemental texts and
resource materials is available to students for use during school
hours. Additional books on yoga, music and guided imagery CDs and
other resource materials are available for purchase at Mt.
Nittany’s Natural Health Shop.
Any
student or graduate may request a meeting with a member of the
administration to address school-related concerns or for academic
and vocational guidance.
Attendance
and Make-up Policies
The
attendance and make-up policy reflects the number of hours required
by the program’s approval by the Pennsylvania Department of
Education. There are an allowed number of absences in the program,
for which students are required to complete make-up assignments
using the videotape lending library or by private tutorial with the
instructor at the student’s expense. Excessive absences put the
student on Academic Probation and may be grounds for the student to
be required to repeat classes or for dismissal from the program.
Snow days are built into the class schedule; school-wide late
arrivals, early dismissals, and cancellation of school due to
inclement weather are sometimes necessary. These do not reflect on
the individual student record.
Leave
of Absence
A
leave of absence or interruption of training must be requested in
writing, using the Leave of Absence Request Form, available from the
Education office. Mt. Nittany Institute will generally grant
approval for the Leave of Absence for reasonable requests provided
there is an expectation that the student will return to school within
180 days from the date of the last class counted. All
assignments, tests and class work missed must be made up on a schedule
approved by the faculty.
