Attendance Regular Attendance Adrian School of Massage expects students to be present for all program units, however Adrian School of Massage allows for the following accommodations... Each trimester, students are permitted up to 7 HOURS of absence. Any additional absence must be approved by an administrator. If absence exceeds required hours for a portion of the curriculum, students may need to meet graduation requirements via “tutoring” with an ASM staff member at a fee of $25/hour. If absences exceed the allotted amount and a resolution can not be met, students may be required to defer (see pg. 7). Arriving to class more than 10 minutes after the assigned time will result in the use of 1 HOUR of absence. Unless previously arranged with an administrator, arriving to (or leaving from) class more than 60 minutes after the class has begun will result in the use of 3 HOURS of absence. All partial absences must be approved in advance by an ASM administrator. Weather Emergencies Afternoon classes will continue as scheduled unless notified by ASM. Morning classes will follow the rulings of the local school districts. (ASM will follow the cancellation schedule of Adrian High School). Students may petition the rulings of their presiding school district. For any other cancellations or emergencies, students will be contacted via email. Personal Illness/Family Emergencies In the event of absence due to family emergencies or for medical reasons in excess of 7HOURS per trimester, students may need to provide written notice to an administrator, or schedule a meeting to discuss a beneficial resolution. *All students are subject to absence(s) upon reparatory dismissal.
Grading
A cumulative passing grade of at least 75% (GPA) is required for each trimester. If a student’s scores are less than passing for a given unit, it is the FULL RESPONSIBILITY of the student to request assistance/extra credit from an ASM faculty member (a fee of $25 is paid to the faculty member at time of service). Progress reports will be given 34 weeks before the end of each trimester. All manual and practical tests must receive a passing grade of at least 75%. If a student does not pass a test, he or she must contact their instructor (or an administrator) to schedule a time to retake the test within 10 days of the original testing date. If a failing student’s GPA cannot be rectified within 30 days of a completed course, he or she will be asked to defer or resign from the program.
Credit for Past Training At this time, ASM does not make accommodations for credit supplementations by previous education or programs provided by other institutions. If you would like to petition an accommodation for previous credit, please submit your request in writing to the school director.

Deferral Students choosing to defer portions of their program must complete ASM’s deferral form and discuss an appropriate class schedule with an administrator. A onetime fee of $50 will be assigned and due at this time as well.
Reentrance Students wishing to reenter after resigning from our program must go through the enrollment process again to be considered for reentrance into the next program class. Students may then test out of previously completed portions of the program if they wish to do so. Scores for testing out of a unit must be at least 75%.
Behavior Full respect of all ASM staff, students, and visitors is both expected and appreciated. ASM instructors and administrators reserve the right to dismiss disrespectful or inappropriate students at their discretion. Dismissed students are subject to ASM’s attendance guidelines (see pg. 6). Students may petition wrongful dismissal with an administrator within 30 days of the occurrence. ASM reserves the right to expel a student due to highly inappropriate or illegal behavior while attending our program, as it is our highest priority that ASM be a safe environment for all students, staff, and visitors.
Refund Policy Students who drop out of the program part way through the year may be issued a refund for tuition paid. For each week completed, the amount of $225 will be withheld. Weeks begin on Mondays and end on Sundays. If a student withdraws midweek, he or she is responsible for the full week. Additionally, students making partial tuition payments may be charged any outstanding differences needed to meet the partial fees of $225 per week.
Licensing To become a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Michigan, individuals must pass an approved test. ASM will provide study resources and study options for the MBLEx. For more information on the MBLEx, please visit: https://www.fsmtb.org/mblex

Student Clinic Student Clinic Scheduling & Requirements ASM requires students to complete 125 hours of participation in the onsite Student Clinic. Students will be able to request available hours in the student clinic after the completion of their 30 Friends & Family MassageHours and the successful completion of their Pathology unit. Available Clinic hours will be listed after the beginning of the 2nd Trimester. Students must turn in a clinic hour request form to be reviewed by the student clinic supervisor. Request forms will be reviewed in the order they were received. Once reviewed, the request form with their approved hours will be returned to the student. It is then the full responsibility of the student to complete all approved clinic hours. Students are required to be on location and ready for their assigned block 15 minutes prior to their scheduled start. If a student is on location less than 5 minutes prior to the start of their scheduled time block, 1 HOUR of attendance will be docked from their attendance log. If a student arrives to student clinic after the start time of a scheduled massage appointment, the student will be docked 3 HOURS from their attendance log. If a student noshows for a scheduled student clinic block, he or she will be docked a full 7 HOURS from their attendance log. Student blocks may be a maximum of 7 hours and a minimum of 3 hours per clinic block. Students may arrange for another student to cover a block of their scheduled student clinic hours with the approval of an administrator if need be. Receiving Tips Although students completing their required Student Clinic hours are not financially compensated by ASM, students may receive tips in the form of cash or check from clients. Tips are not handled by Adrian School of Massage in any way, and any tax implications are the full responsibility of the student.
Outreach Outreach Hours ASM requires all students to provide 30 hours of outreach for the completion of their program. Of these hours, 20 must be completed at one of ASM’s supervised outreach events. The other 10 outreach hours may be done at a location of the student’s choice as long as it meets at least one of the following requirements: A – Is a nonprofit organization B – Is an educational institution C – Is a health care business or organization. Students must complete an outreach event form that is filled out by either an attending staff member or a location representative. We ask that students arrive at least 15 minutes before a scheduled outreach event, and act in a manner that is in full respect of the outreach location as well as Adrian School of Massage.

Dress Code General Dress Code All clothing must be modest and either plain with no graphics/imprints, or have content that is massage/health related. Tops – Tops need to have sleeves that cover the shoulder. If a sleeve is longer than the elbow, it must be able to be rolled up above the elbow for manual classes. Bottoms – Students must be able to do a comfortable lunge in all bottomwear. Skirts must be below the knee and shorts must be at least 3” below fingertip length. Plain modest yoga pants may be worn. We do ask that students refrain from wearing jeans while attending classes or other school related functions unless otherwise notified. (Scrubs are always a good “goto” option!) Shoes – Heels of more than 1.5 inches are not allowed for class or other school related functions unless otherwise notified. Modesty is our first policy for our students at ASM. Students must be able to lift their hands above their heads without skin showing on their torso, and must have shirt necks sit no more than a hands width below their collar bone. Additionally, if a staff member notices that an article is too tight or revealing as stated above, a dress code violation will be given. Adrian School of Massage expects students to use proper hygiene, have clean hands with non polished nails, and refrain from heavy scents. If a student’s hygiene practices do not meet ASM’s standards, an administrator may schedule a meeting with the student to discuss a resolution. Each student may have 2 dress code violations before being dismissed due to dress code. In the event of an extreme violation, immediate dismissal may be necessary. Dismissed students are subject to ASM’s attendance guidelines. Dress Code for Manual Classes We ask that students refrain from wearing dangling earrings or excessive jewelry during manual classes. Additionally, students are required to wear appropriate underwear during manual classes. Student Clinic Dress Code Students performing their clinic hours are required to wear black pants (scrubs, loose slacks, or modest yoga pants), and either a blank polo, scrub top, plain tshirt, or an ASM shirt. Closetoe shoes and the absence of any strong scents or perfumes are also required. (All other ASM Dress/Hygiene requirements remain in effect as well.) ASM’s Outreach Dress Code While completing hours at an outreach event, we ask that students refrain from strong scents and perfumes, wear black pants (scrubs, loose slacks, or modest yoga pants are acceptable), closetoe shoes, and an ASM shirt. In addition, students must wear their ID badge while at offsite events.
