Make-up Work

If a student has an excused absence on the day of a midterm or final examination, he or she will be allowed to arrange for a make-up examination with the instructor.

Any make-up examination must be taken within one week after the originally scheduled exam day if possible. If a final exam is missed because of an excused absence and the make-up exam is not taken within one week, the student is awarded an “I” for an incomplete grade (See section titled “Incompletes and Final Examinations”).

If a student is absent because of an extended illness or other extenuating circumstances, a make-up exam will be taken at the earliest possible time.

If a student fails to make a passing grade on either mid-term or final exams, there will be no retakes permitted. If a student fails a midterm exam, the student will meet with the instructor to determine what type of remedial action is appropriate to increase the student’s skills, and consequently, chances of improving the final exam and course grade to a satisfactory level.

Physical and Learning Resources

The Oklahoma Healing Arts Institute is located in a 2745 sq. ft. building in a busy business district in Oklahoma City, OK. The school and clinic are located all on a single floor. Handicapped individuals have access without restrictions. There are 4 treatment rooms and 1 central classroom.

Each treatment room also has a variety of acupuncture charts on the wall. The dedicated library floor space houses adequate tables, chairs, desks, etc., to encourage student and faculty use of library holdings, which consist of TCM, herbal, and western texts, journals, and articles compiled from many sources. 

Student Conduct Policy

Any inappropriate behavior, if it continues beyond the 1st warning, is considered adequate cause for dismissal. This includes, but is not limited to, harassment (sexual or other), bullying, degrading or profane comments, or any disruptive behavior.

Students are expected to not misuse their hands while treating patients or each other in clinical settings, and to act as respectful medical students. If students observe any inappropriate behavior among other students or from instructors, they are expected to report such behavior to the instructor or administrator, whichever is appropriate.
