Any student attending a course in which they are not officially registered will not receive credit for the

course but will be assessed full tuition. To receive credit, the course must be repeated with proper registration and payment of tuition.

Students receiving financial aid are cautioned that a change in their enrollment could result in a change in

their eligibility for aid. Students receiving financial aid must notify and receive approval from the Financial

Aid Officer prior to any change in their schedule

Students may drop a course during the first week of a trimester without penalty and have until the second

week of the trimester to add a course. An add/drop form must be used to process all add/drops with the student’s name, student ID number, signature and date. Neither written notes nor phone calls are acceptable for adding or dropping a course.

All add/drop forms are subject to the approval of the Academic Dean, being signed by the Registrar and

processed through the Business Office.

For dropped courses, refunds are calculated from the date the Drop Form is delivered to the Business Office.

Failure to officially drop a course will result in full tuition charges for the course and a failing (F) grade

A student may withdraw from any course up until the ninth week of the trimester. Students who withdraw from a course must repeat that course in order to receive credit.

This examination consists of separate written and practical sections, which must be passed before a student

may perform any acupuncture or herbal treatment in the clinic.

The Written Examination is usually taken within six months of the end of the student’s program. A passing

grade is required for the award of the degree and for the University’s recommendation to a licensing agency.

All clinical proficiency examinations must be passed before the student is eligible to attempt the

comprehensive.

The student has the right to cancel the Enrollment Agreement and obtain a refund of charges and the fees, paid through attendance at the first class session, or the seventh day after signing the Enrollment Agreement,

whichever is later. A written cancellation notice must be mailed to AUHS. The cancellation must be signed and dated; cancellation by telephone, email or absence in class is insufficient for official notification of intent to cancel. The refund of charges will be mailed to the student within thirty (30) days following the written cancellation notice.

Individuals interested in taking courses for their own enrichment and not seeking a degree from AUHS are considered to be in non-matriculated status. Non matriculated students may register on a space-available basis, for either audit or credit enrollment, after the designated registration period for matriculated students.

Non-matriculated students may take no more than 11 credits in any given trimester and must apply for

admission to the AUHS should they wish to take additional credits. The maximum number of credits a

student may take in non matriculated status is 12 credits or four courses. Students who neither want nor expect to receive a degree from AUHS and are attending classes at the AUHS purely for their personal interest may be able to receive a waiver from the his/her designee.
