Student Policies

Access to Student Advisor

Students that are currently working through the program, and have not yet expired, have access to speak with a student advisor. When their program has been completed, they are no longer eligible to speak with the student advisor, and need to call during the 1:00-2:00 call time. Master Herbalist graduates are the exception, as they have lifetime access to the student advisor. The student advisor is available from 9:00am-4:00pm Mountain Time Monday-Friday. Students can also post messages for the student advisor via our bulletin board on our web-site.

Shipping

For students living inside the Continental US, School courses are shipped via UPS Ground with no shipping charge. Students living outside the Continental US pay exact cost of shipping. Any student that needs their package shipped differently will pay the exact cost of shipping the package to them.

Replacement Materials

Students who need to replace materials can do so. Replacement materials are sold at retail price. We charge for shipping on replacement material orders.

Upgrading

Students wishing to upgrade to the current program may do so. The cost to do so depends on the year in which the student enrolled. Prior to 1998, we subtract the amount the student paid from the current amount of tuition. The student pays the difference, and will receive any materials that have been added to the program and any assignments that have changed. If they enrolled in 1998 or after, they pay individual tuition for any levels added to the program, and pay retail pricing for any new materials added to levels they already have.

Re-Registration

Students who have allowed their deadlines to expire for over six months are required to re-register for the program. The re-registration fee is $75, which gives them one year in which to complete the program. Students who re-register are required to complete any new assignments that have been added to the program after their original registration. Students are required to purchase any materials necessary to complete the added requirements.

Dismissal

Students found to be practicing medicine without a license will be dismissed. The School of Natural Healing does not tolerate students breaking the law. The School does not teach its students to conduct themselves in any manner that is contrary to the laws of the land. Students will be asked to return their materials, and remaining tuition will be refunded. Students who are found to be representing themselves as having achieved a higher level of education than they have actually obtained will have their student status revoked. Students making promises to other students on behalf of the School of Natural Healing will have their student status revoked.
