Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles for SCUHS

Attendance Requirements
Please note the SCU policy on attendance: Attendance will be taken each class day in each class modality. To
obtain credit for a course, a student must be present at least 90% of the time. Students will not receive credit for
classes in which they are reported absent. In the clock hour program of Ayurvedic Wellness Educator, no more
than 10% of the clock hours in a payment period may be considered excused absences. When absences,
including excused absences, exceed 10%, the student may be dropped from the class. Students will need to
register for the class when it is offered again.
Absences
The maximum number of clock hours a student may be absent is a total of 90 clock hours. This total of 90 hours
includes both the campus and online E-learning modalities. During the time period of May to January (450 clock
hours) a student may not miss more than 45 clock hours, which includes both the campus and virtual learning
modalities. During the time period of January to April (450 clock hours) a student may not miss more than 45
clock hours, which includes both the campus and virtual learning modalities.
Excused Absence Policy
Students who must be absent may request an excused absence from the program director. If justifiable cause
can be shown for the absenteeism, the student may be permitted to make up missed assignments.
Documentation must be provided for an excused absence to be approved. Only those absences that meet the
following criteria will be deemed acceptable (i.e., illness with a physician’s letter, car problems, death in family,
or court summons). An excused absence is still considered part of the overall attendance policy.
Tuition and Fees
Current tuition and fee requirements may be obtained from OneStop Enrollment Services. Tuition for Ayurvedic
Practitioner students is a flat rate, reviewed and published annually. The University reserves the right to adjust
tuition and/or fees. For the 2017-2018 academic year, tuition for incoming Ayurvedic Practitioner students is
$3,112 per trimester. Fees per trimester are $135. A graduation fee of $150 is charged during the last trimester
of enrollment.
Academic mentoring is $500 per term or $35 per week for students on Academic Probation as determined by
the Academic Review and Support Committee.
Conditions for tuition refunds are described in SCU Policy 7.6.2.
