Attendance: Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes. No classes are scheduled on legal holidays. Absences and tardiness will be recorded by the instructor of each class. If a scheduled class is missed, classroom hours and instructional material must be completed by the student at a later time. Makeup sessions may be personally arranged with individual instructors.
Failure to complete the hours of classroom attendance required for the course will result in an “incomplete” assessment by the Institute, and any Certificate of Completion or transcript will be withheld until all required hours are completed. Students who are absent more than 20 percent of the course are required to repeat the course.
Student Conduct: At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be dismissed from school for serious or repeated incidences of intoxication or drugged state of behavior. Possession of drugs, alcohol or weapons, exhibiting behavior that creates a safety hazard to others or disobedient or disrespectful behavior toward a student, instructor or administrator are also grounds for dismissal.
Graduation/Course Evaluation Requirements: The following criteria may be used to evaluate the student’s mastery of theory and techniques presented within the program:
• |
Attendance |
• |
Punctuality |
• |
Class participation: attentiveness, cooperation and enthusiasm |
• |

• |
Practical application of techniques to include demonstration of posture, breathing, sensitivity and concentration |

Students will graduate and/or receive transcript credit only if all monies are paid, all evaluations are passed and all assignments and hours are completed. Missing hours, evaluations and assignments for the Technician Training must be made up within three months from the scheduled graduation date. Makeups after that date will not be accepted and the class is considered failed. Though each student is solely responsible for learning the requirements of the class, IPSB does encourage students to participate with fellow students in informal study support groups.
Grading Policy: Grades are based on an evaluation of pass and fail.
Record Retention: Records are retained for a period of no less than five years.
Refund and Drop Policy: Any cancellation must be given in writing, either in person or by certified mail. Program students shall be given until midnight following the first day of instruction to withdraw from the course and receive a full refund of all tuition paid to this institution or its representative.
Refunds for cancellation after that period and for individual classes are based on a pro-rata calculation. The registration fee is non-refundable. Student will be charged for the hours of instruction up to the date student formally cancels his or her enrollment. Any refund due to the student, if any, will be made within thirty days of the formal cancellation date. Refunds are based on the following formula and on advanced payment in full:
