Enrollment Information
To be admitted as a student at Allied Health Career Training, prospective students may enroll online at alliedhealthcareertraining.com. Seats are limited for each course and program schedule. Students may enroll in multiple courses if schedules do not conflict. Prospective students must pass an 8th grade reading level assessment given at the beginning of the course or at the time of enrollment at the prospective student’s request. Prospective students must agree to the Enrollment Agreement when enrolling. Upon successful course enrollment, students will be given a class schedule and a copy of the Enrollment Agreement. For online and hybrid classes, prospective students must have access to a valid email address, a computer with internet access, and the technical skills necessary to operate the computer and online learning platform. Prospective students must be able to participate actively in all demonstrations, laboratory exercises, and clinical experiences, all of which will require the functional use of motor, visual, auditory, and somatic sensations. Some physical requirements of skills class and clinicals may include bending, kneeling, squatting, and lifting.
Academic Calendar: Class schedules vary by course. Enrollment period is ongoing. Late enrollments are not allowed. Classes will not be held on the following holidays: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day & the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day.
Financial Information: Students fall into two financial categories: Private Pay (self-pay) or Sponsored. Sponsored students through a third party (which includes either a grant program such as through Kansas Workforce, Dept for Children and Families, or City of Wichita or through their employer) do not have to pay the nonrefundable registration fee at the time of enrollment, and they may begin a course without the balance being paid in full. Invoices will be sent to the billing email address that the student provides on their registration form. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that correct billing information is supplied and that their employer pays for the course within three months of the course start date. If a student registers as Sponsored by their employer, but their employer does not pay the invoice within three months, the student’s account will revert to Private Pay status and the student will be held responsible for all unpaid balances. Students sponsored through grant programs (such as DCF, Workforce, or City of Wichita) must be approved by the third-party payer at registration. All accounts listed as sponsored are reviewed at three months for past due balances. Private Pay (self-pay) students may enroll in most courses by paying at least the Registration Fee Deposit to hold their spot in a course. Registration fees are down payments and are applied to course tuition balances. Registration fees are non-refundable and are 25% of the course price. Private pay students must pay course balances in full by the course start date unless prior arrangements are made with administration. Students that are Private Pay are responsible for any balance owing for a course. Payments can be made at any time on our website or within the student’s registration account. Payments can also be made during business hours by phone or in person. We accept payments of cash, check, money order, credit card or debit card. Payments made by check that are returned by the financial institution as having non-sufficient funds available are subject to a returned check fee of $50 added to the student’s balance due. Registration fee deposits are non-refundable. Registration fee deposits are non-transferable to other people or courses. Registration fee deposits are 25% of the course price. Please Note: Tuition is subject to change. Allied Health Career Training reserves the right to modify tuition and fee charges with sufficient notice provided to students and appropriate agencies. AHCT does not qualify to accept FAFSA, Pell Grants, GI Bill, or any federal financial aid. AHCT does not qualify to send out 1098-T tax forms.
Policies
Attendance Policy: Students must attend all scheduled classes, skill classes, and clinical dates and times, and complete any online coursework within the timeframe of the course. If a student misses a scheduled class meeting, there is no guarantee the class date can be made up. If a student does not meet attendance requirements, the student may be withdrawn from the course and subject to Cancellation and Refund policies.
Dress Code: Admitted students must wear shoes with closed toes and closed heels for all in-person skills classes and clinicals. Students are to be clean and avoid strong fragrances. Street clothes are permitted for most skills classes at the school unless indicated in course description. Fingernails must be no longer than ¼ inch to attend clinicals for any course. See Course Catalog for course-specific dress codes.
Course Transfer Policy: Allied Health Career Training does not allow transfer of tuition payment from one course schedule to another. If a student does not complete the scheduled course for any reason, the tuition payment does not transfer to another course schedule. A student may enroll in a new course schedule and pay the entire course tuition for the new course schedule. There may be exceptions made due to extenuating circumstances. Students should contact their instructor if they have missed a scheduled class or clinical. The course instructor can submit a transfer request to Allied leadership on behalf of the student. Allied leadership meets weekly to review requests and make determinations on any request received. Students will be notified of approval or denial of their request via email. If the exemption request is approved, students will be notified and will be able to enroll in a new course schedule and the original tuition payment will be transferred to the new course schedule. A student may need to start the course over, or they may be granted credit for the portion of the course already completed. The student will be notified if any credit is granted for previously completed coursework and attendance. If the exemption request is denied, students will be notified by email. The student may then enroll in a new course schedule and pay the course tuition for the new enrollment, and they must complete the entire course regardless of any coursework or hours completed in a prior course.
Student Progress Measurement Policy: Students must complete all didactic coursework and receive passing scores within designated timeframes and meet program attendance requirements for in-person skills and clinical classes. Students must demonstrate proficiency in any course that contains a Skills Competency Checklist. Students will receive a Certificate of Completion when all course requirements are met, including financial obligations. AHCT does not offer job placement assistance or guarantee employment after course or program completion.
Refund Policy: If the student wishes to cancel their enrollment agreement and withdraw from the program, they may fill out the Withdrawal Form located on the Allied Health Career Training website. Refunds will not be processed until the Withdrawal form is received. The registration fee deposit for the enrolled course is nonrefundable. Refunds are calculated in accordance with state regulations. Each student will be reimbursed for any items for which the student was charged but did not receive, including textbooks and software. All advance monies, other than an initial, nonrefundable registration fee deposit, paid by the student before attending class shall be refunded if the student requests a refund, in writing, within three days after signing the enrollment agreement and making an initial payment. If 25 percent or less of a course has lapsed and a student withdraws, the student will be eligible for a pro rata refund based on the total number of calendar days in the course schedule and the total number of calendar days lapsed. In determining the official termination date and percentage of each course completed, the institution may consider the week during which the student last attended to be an entire week of attendance completed. For programs consisting of fewer than 100 clock-hours, refunds may be calculated on an hourly, pro rata basis. After 25 percent of the course has lapsed, tuition and fees shall not be refundable. All refunds will be made within 60 days from the last day of attendance or within 60 days from the receipt of payment if the date of receipt of payment is after the student’s last day of attendance.
Administrative Dismissal Policy: A student may be dismissed from Allied Health Career Training for violation of any policies, failing to meet basic standards for academic or skills performance and/or attendance, or the student fails to make payment of tuition and/or fees in the manner, amount, and at the time agreed upon between student and AHCT. The following acts are NOT permitted and may result in immediate dismissal: academic dishonesty, falsification of student records, use of alcoholic beverages or illegal drug activity on school property, harassment, assault, disrespectful conduct, disorderly or indecent conduct, damage or misuse of property, unauthorized entry, theft, failure to obey official orders or comply with official notification, possession or use of firearms/weapons, or fiscal misconduct. If AHCT elects to initiate an administrative dismissal, written notification will be sent via email to the student’s email address on file. An administrative dismissal does not relieve students of their financial obligations to AHCT. All charges that are unpaid by students at the time of withdrawal become immediately due and payable. Refunds are issued in accordance with the Refund policy. AHCT reserves the right to refuse enrollment to anyone for any reason, including competitors.
Student Grievance Procedure Policy: This procedure provides students with a means of seeking an appropriate remedy for any alleged violation of their rights. Before filing a formal, written grievance, students should first attempt to resolve the issue with an informal conference conducted with the person against whom the grievance is directed, if the student is comfortable with such a meeting, and the appropriate senior learning official. If a student’s grievance has not been satisfactorily addressed at this meeting, or if the meeting is unable to occur, the student should then file a formal, written grievance with the Executive Director. Grounds for a student grievance include but are not limited to prejudiced or capricious decision in the academic evaluation of a student’s performance, an act or threat of intimidation, harassment, or physical aggression, or arbitrary action without proper regard to due process as specified in school procedures. Attempting to resolve any issue with AHCT first is strongly encouraged. Should the student feel their grievance has not been resolved at the institutional level, they may contact the Kansas Board of Regents and file a formal complaint. KBOR website: https://www.kansasregents.org/academic_affairs/private_out_of_state/complaint_process
Privacy Policy: Student records will be kept confidential unless the student gives written permission for their release. Records will only be provided upon request. The following records may be disclosed to financially responsible third parties, such as Workforce, DCF, or Facility Employers for billing purposes: academic performance, attendance, class schedule, transcripts, and financial records.
Vehicle and Parking Policy: AHCT assumes no responsibility for the care or protection of any vehicle or its contents during any time parked or operated on the grounds of any AHCT-leased property, or clinical facilities. Building owners reserve the right to remove, or have removed, any vehicle that is parked in such a way as to constitute a hazard; impedes vehicular or pedestrian movement; blocks the operation of emergency equipment; or hinders making essential repairs. Vehicles deemed abandoned may also be removed from the property. Owners of such vehicles are responsible for paying all costs involved in the removal, impounding, and storage of such vehicles.
Right to Amend Policy: AHCT reserves the right to make programmatic, content, and scheduling changes as necessary to align with changing curricular requirements, industry standards, and to maintain compliance with Federal and State regulations. Changes in business and education practices may impact tuition and fee charges. AHCT reserves the right to amend its curriculum and modify tuition and fee charges with sufficient notice provided to students and appropriate agencies.
Course Postponement/Cancellation Policy: If it becomes necessary to cancel or postpone a course due to insufficient enrollment, power failure, or technical issues, Allied Health Career Training will notify all enrolled students. If a scheduled course is cancelled, all tuition and fees are refundable to the student. If a scheduled course is postponed, the new course start date will be no later than 3 months from the original start date and students will receive a new schedule by email. Allied Health Career Training reserves the right to cancel or postpone any course schedule regardless of the advertised start date.
Credit Transfer Policy: Allied Health Career Training does not accept transfers of articulated students. Any student that enters the program must start at the beginning. Allied Health Career Training accepts students transferring course credits for PN program prerequisites. Applicants must have completed all course prerequisites with a 75% or higher. Because of various grading policies and scoring at different institutions, if a percentage score is not listed or cannot be obtained, a letter grade of “C” or better is considered acceptable. Transcripts are required if the class was taken anywhere other than Allied Health Career Training:
· Medical Terminology (or equivalent) – minimum 3 credit hour course

If a student wishes to transfer course credits taken at Allied Health Career Training to another institution, the student will be provided with a course syllabus and a transcript that they may send to the institution. It is up to that institution if they are willing to accept credits earned by the student at Allied Health Career Training.
