2. Terms of enrollment2.1 - PrerequisitesThe human anatomy and physiology prerequisites are waived for admission to Level 1-H only. If you are not a practicing physician (MD, DO, ND, DC, or equivalent), you must submit evidence of having completed human anatomy and physiology courses; courses in biochemistry and pathology are desirable but not required. (We recognize that many herbalists will have attained some of this knowledge from self-study, and documentation of such self-study may be acceptable if outlined in detail.) Completion of Level 1 is required for admission to courses at Levels 2 and 3. To begin the Level 1 or 1-H program, please submit a completed application for admission - see section [5] below. 2.2 - Tuition payments
All course fees are to be made payable to "Rocky Mountain Herbalists
Trust c/o Roger Wicke". For payment options, see
http://www.rmhiherbal.org/payments/
2.3 - Refund policyRefunds for Level-3 seminars requested prior to due dates will be charged a 20% processing fee. No refunds will be given for seminar fees after the corresponding due dates. However, if a course registrant gives notice of withdrawal from a seminar before the first day of class, the fees paid may, at the instructor's option, be credited toward any future course taught by the instructor that begins within 18 months after the starting date of the course from which the registrant has withdrawn. All other tuition fees are non-refundable. 2.4 - Course materials, usage limitations
Course participants must keep confidential the answers to all written
homework assignments.
The course software and Self-Study Course are copyrighted and may
not be copied without the author's permission. The only exceptions to this
are clinical charts included in the appendices, which course participants
and software licensees may photocopy or print for their own use only.
2.5 - Conduct
(1) Course participants should conduct themselves in a manner
appropriate to health professionals at all times and should respect the
safety, well-being, and integrity of other class members, staff members,
and clients.
(2) Confidentiality of clients' and course participants' health and
personal information must be maintained.
(3) All homework, progress reports, and exams submitted must be the
product of each course participant's own labors and effort.
Additional reasonable regulations may be adopted for the safety and
well-being of clients, course participants, and staff members, and shall
be effective upon receipt of notification.
2.6 - Changes in courses, schedules, and feesEnrollment for each course is independent from each other section; registrants may drop out of the program after completing any course section for which they have already paid. Likewise, RMHI commits to offering courses one level or seminar at a time; due to unforeseen circumstances, such as increases in national monetary inflation, lack of enrollment, or other crisis, we reserve the right to change published fees, schedules, or course offerings for future course sections prior to their respective tuition due dates. (We have offered this program since 1992 and thus far have been able to adhere to published fees and schedules or to provide equivalent options.) 3. Admission application form
