Student Code of Conduct ATTENDANCE: Class attendance is required beginning with the first class meeting, and students are expected to attend all class sessions. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the instructor when an absence will occur and to arrange to make up all course work missed because of class absences. Frequent absences could result in the inability of VHG to issue Certificate of Course completion and/or CEUs (when applicable). PARTICIPATION: Participation is the cornerstone of a student's education. Student is expected to invest time in those things that will best enable success in their studies: reading all assigned material, attending and/or listening to chapter lectures, completing applicable section reviews, practical applications, quizzes, homework assignments and exams and participating with the instructor and other class members in presentations, discussions and class work. PROFESSIONALISM: The instructor expects students to present themselves in a professional manner within the classroom. The instructor and peers should be treated with respect in both words and actions. Cell phones should be placed on silent and put away during class. COME TO CLASS PREPARED: Students are expected to bring all necessary course materials to class with them each week. This will include:

• Medical Coding Training Text book and Practical Application workbook • Coding Books – 2018 CPC, ICD-10-CM & HCPCS • Class binder

Optional but Helpful Items: • Notebook • Highlighters • Pens/pencils • Page tabs or post-its • Ruler • Medical Dictionary

EXTENSIONS & LATE ASSIGNMENTS: Extensions and/or exceptions to due dates must be arranged on a case by case basis between the student and the instructor and will only be allowed under extremely extenuating circumstances. It is the responsibility of the student to REQUEST an extension and to make arrangements with the instructor for late assignments.




Inclement Weather Policy Scheduled in-person class will be held whenever possible. Cancelation of class will occur when sufficient information is known about the weather and if it would endanger the travel of the students. Students will be advised of class cancelation via text and/or email as soon as a determination is made. A canceled class will be rescheduled within 7 days, which may result in two classes in one week.

Student Complaints

VHG strives to obtain student success and satisfaction in all facets of its education. In the event a student is dissatisfied with the service they have received, they may contact VHG directly for resolution by calling 317-621-9750 or via email to [email protected]. VHG will review the complaint and make every attempt to resolve to the student’s satisfaction. Should VHG be unable to resolve the complaint, OCTS will serve as the final arbitrator. OCTS will review student complaints to determine for legitimacy and will work with both the student and VHG toward a satisfactory resolution for all parties. The determination by OCTS will be final and is not subject to appeals. Instructions for filing a complaint with OCTS can be found at https://www.in.gov/dwd/octs.htm

The institution must make the proper refund no later than thirty-one (31) days of the student's request for cancellation or withdrawal. If a postsecondary proprietary educational institution utilizes a refund policy of their recognized national accrediting agency or the United States Department of Education (USDOE) Title IV refund policy, the postsecondary proprietary educational institution must provide written verification in the form of a final refund calculation, upon the request of OCTS, that its refund policy is more favorable to the student than that of OCTS.

(b) The student does not meet the postsecondary proprietary educational institution's minimum admission requirements. (c) The student's enrollment was procured as a result of a misrepresentation in the written materials utilized by the postsecondary proprietary educational institution.
