The underlying principles in ASHA's student guidelines are courtesy and respect. We have an open door policy that encourages students to speak with faculty and staff to offer feedback or discuss concerns. With resolving any school-related issue, students are encouraged to contact the Director of Student Services (DSS).

Housing

ASHA does not provide housing for students. Rental facilities are available locally. Reasonable efforts will be made by the school to assist enrollees in finding suitable housing.

Note: Although we do not offer housing for ASHA students, there are affordable, quality apartments available in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Books & Supplies

ASHA provides all textbooks for the course. Supplemental books can be purchased in our bookstore. Additional supplies and equipment like oils and lotions are also available in our bookstore.

Student Records / Transcripts

All student records and transcripts are permanently on file in a fireproof, secured room in alphabetized filing cabinets. This room is accessible by authorized personnel only. Student records are confidential and may only be released to the student. ASHA recognizes the value of recordkeeping related to students' academic, physical and/or emotional development. The appropriate use of such information shall be governed by the confidential nature of such information. Individual student records will be maintained by ASHA and permanently kept on file. A student has the right to full access to his or her records at a copy fee of $0.10 per page, and $15.00 per official transcript. However, graduation documents or certificates may be withheld if financial or tuition obligations are not met.

Student Counseling

ASHA staff is available to advise and assist students upon request. Students in need of professional counseling will be referred to qualified therapists.

Placement Services

ASHA has an active job placement service. Contacts are maintained with local and national companies and their requests for therapists are placed on our website and our opportunity board. Although we do offer placement assistance, there is no guarantee of employment. Currently, we have more job opportunities posted than we have graduates seeking jobs!
