CPR certification is offered to all students during their program as part of the curriculum. Massage Therapy students are not required to become CPR certified.

Career Services are offered to all eligible graduates. The career services department conducts career fairs, identifies employment opportunities and monitors students’ employment post-graduation. In addition, the career services department offers resume workshops and mock interviews.

It is a graduate’s responsibility to prepare their resume and cover letter, attend assigned interviews, design a personal job search campaign, dress appropriately for interviews and take primary responsibility for setting up job interviews. At no time does Arizona College guarantee placement. The college assumes no responsibility for seeking employment for students while they are enrolled in a program. Fulltime employment while enrolled is not encouraged due to program requirements. Under no circumstances will employment commitments excuse a student from fulfilling any program requirements or serve as an excuse for absence or tardiness.

All graduates are provided with assistance with employment. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain contact with the Career Services department through active participation on your job search.

The externship is a large part of the student’s program. Arizona College will secure an externship for each student. Student’s who prefer to arrange their own externship must notify the school no later than 30 days prior to your final session. All facilities have been evaluated and meet the requirements set forth by Arizona College. If the program has an externship, the student must successfully complete the mandatory hours in order to complete the requirements of the program. Should the clinical supervisor feel that the student’s performance level is unsatisfactory while on externship, the externship may be terminated. Should a student be terminated/leave early from their externship and appeal is granted, the student will be cycled to the next externship cycle.

No student may refuse an externship. The facilities have made arrangements for you to be there and have adjusted their schedules accordingly. All hours must be completed in the designated department of the facility in order to fulfill all externship requirements. Students are required to complete a minimum of 32 hours per week during their externship.

Any student leaving an externship assignment prior to fulfilling the required hours for completion will be terminated from the program. Any absences or discontinuance of the externship must be reported to the college by the student prior to the discontinuance. If the college is not notified, it may be grounds for termination. Any pay received for externship null and voids credit for the externship. Your externship is considered a part of your training and is uncompensated.

Arizona College’s professional liability insurance coverage is limited to malpractice claims throughout the duration of the externship.

Any personal injury/illness is the responsibility of the student.

Individual schedules may vary depending on program and credit hour schedule. Class breaks are provided at appropriate intervals and between class periods. Extra help sessions must be scheduled with each respective faculty member outside of normally scheduled class time.

The Emergency Preparedness Plan is available for view at the front desk. An emergency action plan is also available for viewing in each classroom.

If there is a fire or emergency in the building, administration or a faculty member should be contacted immediately. In the event of a fire, all students should evacuate the building through the closest fire exit and report to their faculty member for roll call.

Individual and group tutoring is available upon request. Students may schedule academic tutoring sessions with an individual faculty member.
