The student must complete all casework to earn the Advanced Clinical Studies certificate. It is highly recommended the program be completed in one year. Casework is due monthly.
CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS
It is highly unlikely that an HSI community member will encounter any problem that cannot be resolved through open, respectful and professional communication. However, if such a circumstance should arise, members of the HSI community may utilize the following procedure:
If a student, faculty or staff member has a complaint regarding a member of the HSI Community, it is the individual’s responsibility 1) to bring the issue to the attention of the individual(s) involved and attempt to resolve the problem, or 2) request assistance from the HSI Director or Student Advisor.
A complaint may be made to the HSI administration in writing (Mail to: HSI, 727 Sheridan Ave., Loveland, CO 80537). Written complaints must be signed, dated, and contain a clear description of the problem, its circumstances, and any attempts to resolve the conflict. A written complaint will receive a response from an HSI administrator within five days of its receipt. When a complaint is received, the HSI Director or Student Advisor will propose a plan of action. In the event that the issue is still unresolved, the Board of Directors will make any final decisions concerning the matter.
If upon the program’s disposition of a legitimate student complaint, the student is not satisfied that the program has adhered to its policy or been fair in its handling of the complaint, the student may contact ACHENA (Accreditation Commission for Homeopathic Education in North America) at info@achena.org or contact the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational School Board.
Complaints may be filed online with the Division of Private Occupational School Board at www.highered.colorado.gov/dpos. The Colorado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational School Board shall not consider any claim that is filed more than two years after the date the student discontinues his or her training at HSI. The Division of Private Occupational Schools is located at 1600 Broadway, Suite 2200, Denver, CO 80202, (303) 862-3001.
