ABOUT US 

Boston Reed is a leading provider of allied healthcare career training programs in California and, 

through distance learning, throughout the United States. Since 1991, Boston Reed has provided 

affordable training to busy adults seeking a new career in the healthcare industry. 

Through partnerships with other educational institutions, including community colleges, 

universities and adult schools, we offer our programs at over 100 sites throughout the state of 

California. Partner schools host the programs by providing a classroom and equipment. Boston 

Reed brings the curriculum, instructors, supplies and support, enabling our partners to add 

healthcare career training programs to their course offerings. Our strategy is to build 

partnerships, not campuses. By focusing our resources on helping schools that already exist in 

your community, we are able to offer high-quality training in a familiar and comfortable venue at 

affordable prices. 

We use multiple learning platforms, tailored to the requirements of each program. Many 

programs are divided into two parts: (1) formal classroom training with instructor-led practical 

labs and (2) an externship where students receive hands-on experience in field-related 

workplaces. Other programs are instructor-led, but may be held online, in classrooms or a 

combination of both. Our programs are taught by practicing professionals from the various allied 

healthcare fields. They bring with them a broad range of experiences in teaching and providing 

patient care in hospital, medical office, pharmacy and clinical settings. 

Finally, through Boston Reed Online, we offer both instructor-led and self-paced online training. 

Boston Reed is a private institution with corporate offices in Napa, California. Boston Reed 

operates with the approval of the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), 

under the Department of Consumer Affairs. This approval is up for renewal on December 31, 

2013. Any questions a student may have regarding this catalog that have not been satisfactorily

PURSUING A CAREER IN ALLIED HEALTHCARE 

In addition to the shortages of doctors, nurses and 

pharmacists, there also are shortages in the trained 

personnel who support these professionals. Referred to 

as the allied healthcare services, this market sector 

includes, among others, clinical medical assistants, 

pharmacy technicians, phlebotomy technicians, billing & 

coding specialists, medical administrative assistants, 

electronic health record specialists and EKG technicians. 

Several factors are driving these shortages: 

• Longer life expectancies. 

• An aging baby boomer population with growing medical needs. 

• Retiring healthcare workers. 

• An increase in the number of retail pharmacies and health clinics. 

• A greater reliance on allied health professionals as hospitals and other healthcare 

employers strive to become more efficient. 

The allied healthcare field consists of more than 200 occupations that support doctors, nurses, 

pharmacists and other medical professionals. These positions can require anything from 

certificate programs or associate degrees to bachelor degrees and graduate programs. Whether 

you enjoy working with people, your hands or technology, allied healthcare offers abundant 

opportunities that do not require long-term training or advanced degrees. Boston Reed’s 

certificate programs are designed to help you get started on a life-long career path in healthcare. 

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS 

There are many jobs that require only certificates, and Boston Reed offers certificate programs 

geared to the scheduling, budgeting and local requirements of busy adults. Our programs are 

designed to teach you the skills you will need in order to obtain an entry-level job in allied 

healthcare. With new skills and a certificate in hand, you can earn income and experience in the 

field while pursuing the additional education or experience needed to take the next step up the 

career ladder. 

We offer the following certificate programs: 

• Billing & Coding Specialist 

• Clinical Medical Assistant

GET STARTED 

Before Enrolling in a Program 

As a prospective student, you are encouraged to thoroughly 

review this Catalog and the Program Supplements for any 

program you are considering prior to signing an Enrollment 

Agreement. Make sure that you are fully aware of the 

program prerequisites, as well as all terms and conditions 

contained in this Catalog, the Program Supplements and the Enrollment Agreement, including 

policies, fees and payment terms. You also are encouraged to review the School Performance Fact 

Sheet, which must be provided to you prior to signing an enrollment agreement. Seating is limited 

and enrollments are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Accordingly, early enrollment is 

important! Be aware that facilities are subject to change. Occasionally, insufficient enrollment 

makes it necessary to cancel or postpone a class at a particular location. 

Enrolling 

Registration and detailed program information, including program schedules and enrollment 

forms, are in this Catalog and also online at www.BostonReed.com. You can enroll online or by 

telephone at 800-201-1141. You will not be enrolled in the program until you have (1) paid your 

tuition and fees, or have made arrangements for the payment of your tuition and fees; (2) signed the 

attestations; and (3) submitted a copy of your high school diploma or equivalent credential. See the 

“Payment Options” section of this Catalog for more information. Upon receipt of payment of all 

charges due upon enrollment, Boston Reed will execute the Enrollment Agreement and a copy of 

the fully executed agreement will be sent to you. An exemplar of the Enrollment Agreement can 

be found in the “Forms” section of this Catalog. 

Once Enrolled 

Once you have enrolled, you will be assigned a Student Advisor to assist you with questions about 

the Program and to guide your success. If your Program includes an externship, you will be 

working with your Advisor to arrange a placement at an externship site. 



25 


Prerequisites 

General Prerequisites 

Age Minimum 

You will need to be at least 18 years of age before you can start an 

externship and, in most states, before you can work in your field. If 

you are not 18 years old at the time of enrollment, you must: 

• Arrange for a parent or legal guardian to co-sign your enrollment agreement and 

any other financial agreements concerning the Program. 

• Review the Program schedule carefully. If your Program requires you to 

participate in an externship, you will not be eligible for an externship placement if 

you are not 18 years of age by the time the class portion of the Program has been 

completed. See the “Classwork Dates” column of the schedule for the date of the 

last class. Even if your Program does not include an externship, your state may 

prohibit persons under the age of 18 to work in your chosen allied healthcare field. 

Accordingly, you should check the “Typical Program Total Duration” column of the 

schedule to be sure that you will be 18 years of age before you begin your job 

search. 

As part of the enrollment process, you will be asked to attest that you are 18 years old or, if 

you are not yet 18 years old, that you understand that you will need a parent or legal 

guardian to co-sign certain documents and that your ability to be placed in an externship 

requires that you are 18 years old by the end of the class portion of the Program or by the 

time you start your externship, whichever occurs earlier. For more information, see the 

“Attestations” section of this Catalog and the Attestation Form. 

High School Diploma or Equivalent 

The state of California requires that all students provide documentary proof of (1) high 

school graduation; (2) an equivalent credential [GED, Associate of Arts degree, Certificate 

of Proficiency reflecting a passing result from the California High School Proficiency Exam 

(CHSPE)] or (3), under limited circumstances, an ability-to-benefit test. Please be aware of 

the following: 

• Foreign High School Diplomas & Transcripts: 

o If you attended a foreign high school and your diploma and transcript are not 

in English, you should be prepared to provide a translated copy of these 

documents. The translation should be certified by a translator or translation 

company that is approved by the USCIS (United States Citizenship and 

Immigration Services) or has been prepared pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 103.2(b)(3). 

Some California agencies that are responsible for professional licensing 



26 


equire that translated high school diplomas and transcripts also be 

notarized. 

o In addition to providing translated documents, some agencies may require 

that your high school transcript be evaluated to determine whether the 

education you received from a foreign high school is equivalent to that 

provided by a U.S. high school. Accordingly, if you attended a foreign high 

school, you should review the licensing requirements, if any, for your chosen 

allied healthcare field in order to determine whether you will be required to 

have your high school transcript evaluated and, if so, whether the agency 

requires the evaluation to be performed by a specific organization, such as 

the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers 

(AACRAO). 

• California agencies that are responsible for professional licensing have refused to 

accept the diplomas or transcripts from online high schools. Accordingly, Boston 

Reed will not be able to accept these diplomas. If your high school diploma was 

issued by an online high school, you will need to provide a GED or equivalent 

credential; 

• The California Board of Pharmacy does not accept an Associate of Arts degree in lieu 

of a high school diploma or GED; and 

• The ability-to-benefit test results can be used by students who went to secondary 

school outside of the United States or by students who graduated from a high school 

that no longer exists and the student does not have a copy of his/her diploma. The 

ability-to-benefit test cannot serve as a substitute for a high school diploma if the 

school still exists. It also cannot be used by students in the Phlebotomy program. 

Before your first class begins, you must submit a copy of your high school diploma (not 

from an online high school) or documentary proof of an equivalent credential to your 

assigned Advisor. If you are unable to produce the required documents, you will not be 

able to continue the Program. You will be entitled to a refund pursuant to the Cancellation 

and Refund Policies described in this Catalog and your Enrollment Agreement. 

As part of the enrollment process, you will be asked to attest that you hold a high school 

diploma or equivalent credential. For more information, see the “Attestations” section of 

this Catalog and the Attestation Form. 

Equipment Requirements 

Computer Resources: At a minimum, you will need access to an internet-equipped 

computer, the ability to send and receive email and the ability to print materials from the 

computer. 

Although each student’s study habits and needs are different, we believe that you will need 

to have access to a computer and the internet for several hours each day. You will likely be 

taking quizzes and exams, in addition to studying and submitting homework assignments, 



27 


via computer. If you do not have a computer of your own, you will need access to a 

computer in an environment that is conducive to your studying efforts. 

Program resources are provided to students online. These include Program syllabi, 

outlines, handouts, assignment sheets, quizzes, exams, forms, reference materials, and in 

some instances, online lectures. It is the student’s responsibility to download and bring 

handouts to class. A copy of this Catalog is also available online and may be updated 

periodically. 

Telephone: You are required to provide a telephone number at which you can be contacted 

– preferably a personal cell phone number. We will provide important information by 

email and text message, such as a postponement or cancellation of a class session. Text 

messaging allows you to receive such notices as quickly as possible. 

Assumption of Risk 

As a student in the Program, you are required to sign an Assumption of Risk Form in which 

you agree to assume liability and financial responsibility for any injury you receive while 

participating in a Program activity, including while at an externship site. Accordingly, you 

should carry medical insurance throughout your tenure as a student of the Program, 

including during your externship. 

A copy of the Assumption of Risk Form is attached to the end of this Catalog. 

Program Prerequisites 

Depending on your Program, you may be required to purchase scrubs and/or a lab coat, closedtoed 

shoes, and a watch with a second hand. Please see the Program Supplement for information 

concerning the specific prerequisites for your Program. Additionally, your Instructor may have 

specific requirements. Your Instructor will alert you to any additional requirements during the 

first class, in the syllabus or in the course outline. 

Externship Prerequisites 

Your Program may include an externship. Please refer to the Program Supplement to 

determine whether your Program includes an externship. If so, in addition to the General 

Prerequisites and the Program Prerequisites described above, there are eligibility 

requirements for externship placement. These prerequisites are described in the 

“Externships” section of this Catalog. 



28 


Assessments 

Before undertaking the Program, we require all students to demonstrate basic mastery of the 

skills that are necessary for success. These include assessments of your: 

• Basic mastery of the English language. 

• Basic ability to perform mathematical calculations. 

• Workplace communication skills. 

• Preparedness for distance learning, when applicable. 

Basic English and Math Assessment 

In order to succeed in your Program, you will need basic mastery of the English language 

and a basic ability to perform mathematical calculations. You will be asked to take a 

Verbal (English) and Quantitative (math) skills assessment test before starting the 

Program. The assessment covers basic reading comprehension and math functions such as 

addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and percentages. 

Soon after enrolling in your Program, you will receive the sign-in information needed to 

take the skills assessment free of any charges. Your score will be forwarded to your 

Student Advisor and shared with the Instructor. If your score indicates that you may need 

some remedial study in English comprehension or mathematics, your Advisor, who will 

help you determine the best course of action given your training needs, will contact you. 

Workplace Communications Assessment 

Boston Reed wants all of its students to experience success in their Program and in the 

workplace. Strong communication skills are key to such success. 

Early in the Program, students are asked to participate in a Workplace Communications 

Assessment, which includes a written component and an oral presentation. If it is 

determined that a student’s success will be impaired due to insufficient communication 

skills, the Instructor or Advisor will recommend that the student undertake remedial 

training to achieve a sufficient proficiency level. In some cases, the Instructor/Advisor may 

recommend that the student delay or reconsider taking the Program until he/she has 

strengthened his/her communication skills through remedial training. In such a case, if the 

student decides to follow the Instructor’s/Advisor’s recommendation, the student will be 

entitled to a refund as per the policies described in the “Cancelation” section of this Catalog. 

Whether to accept the Instructor’s/Advisor’s recommendation is solely up to you. If you 

choose to go forward with the Program despite the advice of your Advisor to delay and 

obtain remedial English or communications skills training, you are responsible for bringing 

your workplace communication skills to a satisfactory level (to be determined by your 



29 


Instructor and Advisor) before you can be considered for an externship placement. You 

also should consider the following: 

• Class participation, including oral communication skills, will count towards your Final 

Grade (see “Grading Policy” for more information). 

• Written communication skills, as reflected in quizzes, homework and exams, will count 

toward your Final Grade (see “Grading Policy” for more information). 

• The written portions of the Midterm and Final Exam typically include questions that 

require both short- and long-form written answers. 

• The practical portions of the Midterm and Final Exam can require you to provide oral 

explanations of procedures performed and may include an assessment of bedside 

manner. 

• If, at the end of the class portion of the Program, you lack sufficient workplace 

communication skills to succeed at an externship site, Boston Reed has the right to 

refuse to place you in an externship. If your skills are not sufficient within 8 months of 

the date of the last class (4 months before the close of the externship period), you will 

not be placed in an externship. In such a case, you will not be entitled to a refund of the 

externship placement portion of your tuition. However, if all other requirements have 

been met, including attaining the minimum Final Grade for the Program, you will be 

issued a Modified Certificate for the class portion of the Program only. 

As part of the enrollment process, you will be asked to attest that you are proficient in 

speaking (hearing with understanding and orally responding), reading and writing the 

English language, and that you understand that you will be required to undertake a 

Workplace Communications Assessment. For more information, see the “Attestations” of 

this Catalog and the Attestation Form. 

Computer Proficiency Self-Assessment 

In order to succeed in the Program, you will need to be able to perform basic computer 

tasks. These include: 

• Performing basic keyboard functions and using a mouse. 

• Turning on the computer. 

• Locating and opening programs and documents. 

• Using “save” and “open” functions in a program. 

• Sending and receiving email messages. 

• Locating and printing documents. 

There are many online computer proficiency self-assessment websites. We recommend 

that before you start the Program, you take an online self-assessment and, if indicated, take 

a basic computer skills refresher course. 

Distance Learning Assessment 



30 


Programs that are conducted online or include online modules are considered “distance 

learning” education. If your Program is conducted online or includes online modules, you 

will need to take the Distance Learning Assessment. See your Program Supplement for 

information about whether your Program involves distance learning. 

Distance learning can present unique challenges. The most successful distance learners 

have strong internet skills, are comfortable with written communication, are selfmotivated, 

take ownership of their learning experience, keep up with assignments, 

participate in discussion groups and seek help from the Instructor or Advisor as needed. 

To help you determine whether you can succeed as a distance learner, please take the 

Distance Learning Assessment at 

www.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/student_docs/Distance_Learning_Assessment.pdf 

before the first class session. Please take your score into consideration before signing up 

for a distance learning Program. If your score indicates that you may need some remedial 

training to prepare for distance learning, but you believe you are up to the challenge, please 

seek your Advisor’s advice. Your Advisor will help you determine the best course of action 

for you. 

Attestations 

All students will be asked to sign an attestation form. An attestation is a statement that is 

confirmed to be true by the signature of a person with knowledge of the truth of the statement. 

Here, each student will be asked to attest that he/she: 

• Is a high school graduate or holds an equivalent credential. 

• Is 18 years of age or a legally emancipated minor or, if not, the student acknowledges that a 

parent or legal guardian will sign the enrollment and any other financial agreements 

concerning the Program. 

• Understands that he/she must be 18 years old in order to be placed in an externship. 

• Received and was encouraged to review this Catalog and the appropriate Program 

Supplement prior to enrollment in the Program. 

• Is proficient in speaking (hearing with understanding and orally responding), reading and 

writing the English language. 

• Understands that he/she will be required to take a Workplace Communications 

Assessment. 

The Attestation Form is available at the end of this Catalog. 

Requirements for International Students 

To be eligible for enrollment, you must have completed coursework equivalent to that of an 

American high school and possess a fluency in English. As with all other students, international 

students will need to complete successfully the Basic English & Math Assessment and the 

Workplace Communications Assessment. Please note that some third parties, such as student 



31 


financing vendors, third party payers and externship sites, may have restrictions with respect to 

citizenship or residency over which Boston Reed has no influence. Visa services are not provided 

by Boston Reed. Visa services may be available, however, at some of our partner schools. Boston 

Reed will not vouch for the visa status or any associated charges of any student. 

Experiential Learning 

Boston Reed does not award credits or alter program requirements or fees based upon a student’s 

prior experiential learning. 



32 


PAYMENT OPTIONS 

Boston Reed programs are priced to be affordable for most students. Students in need of financial 

assistance are encouraged to first check for funds available from local American Job Centers, local 

services that provide scholarship opportunities or employer tuition assistance options. 

Financial Aid 

Boston Reed does not participate in any State or Federal Financial Aid programs. 

Loan Obligations 

Regardless of the source of any loan you receive, it is your responsibility to repay the loan amount 

plus any interest. If a student is eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government 

and the student defaults on the loan, the federal or state government or loan guarantee agency 

may take action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the 

student is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan. In addition, the student may not be 

eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government 

assistance until the loan is repaid. 

Third-Party Payer Loans and Scholarships 

You may be able to secure a scholarship, grant or loan from a third party. Typically, you will enter 

into an agreement with the third party. It is your responsibility to understand the terms of any 

such agreement and fulfill your obligations to the third party. 

Workforce and One-Stop Career Centers 

The Workforce Investment Act and Workforce Investment Boards often provide funding for career 

education or reeducation. American Job Centers (formerly called One-Stop Career Centers) offer 

free tools and resources to members of the community who are looking to change or embark upon 

a career. They may have or may be able to direct you to a funding source for an allied healthcare 

training program. To locate the nearest American Job Center, visit www.servicelocator.org. 

Students eligible for CalWorks/WIA, JTPA, GAIN or State and Private Vocational Rehabilitation 

should have their counselors call Boston Reed directly. 

Local Service Organizations 

Local service organizations, such as Rotary Club, Native Sons and Daughters, Lions Clubs and 

Kiwanis Club, may offer scholarships or other educational funding options. We recommend that 



33 


you search online for organizations in your community that may be able to assist you. Similarly, 

faith-based organizations in your community may offer educational funding opportunities. If you 

are a recent high school graduate, you should contact your school to see if there are open 

scholarships for which you qualify. 

Employer Tuition Assistance 

You employer may provide scholarships or other tuition assistance. If your employer contributes 

to your educational expenses, please ask your employer to call Boston Reed directly or provide 

documentation of the financial arrangement. Boston Reed will need to know whether there is an 

agreement between you and your employer for repayment of the funds. 

Sallie Mae 

Sallie Mae offers private loans to students in career training programs. Loan applications are 

approved based on credit worthiness and income. Interest rates will depend, in part, on the 

applicant’s credit history. If you are considering financing your Program through Sallie Mae, you 

should consider asking a parent, other relative or friend to be a co-signer on the loan. You can 

apply online at http://www.salliemae.com. 

You will be asked to provide, among other items, the following information: 

• School: 

o Find Boston Reed, Napa, CA – 606650-00 

o Or select “Boston Reed.” 

• Degree/Certificate of Study: Enter Certificate. 

• Major: 

o Indicate “Other” for Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Medical Assistant, EKG 

Technician, and Phlebotomy Technician. 

o Indicate “Allied Health Medical Admin” for Medical Administrative Assistant. 

o Indicate “Medical Biller" for Billing & Coding Specialist, Electronic Health Record 

Specialist and ICD 10-A Guide Medical & Billing Coder. 

• Enrollment Status: Answer “less than half time.” 

• Grade Level: Answer “Certificate/Continuing Ed.” 

• Academic Period of the Loan: Indicate month and year of Program start date and end date. 

• Anticipated Graduation Date: Indicate one year from the end date of the Program. 

o Reference the Program Schedule in this Catalog, and calculate the end date by 

locating the start date in the “Classwork Dates” column and the total number of 

months in the “Typical Program Total Duration” column. 

Student Financing through Boston Reed’s Financing Vendor 

If a student cannot obtain funding from one of these sources, Boston Reed offers an interestbearing 

payment plan through a third-party company (referred to herein as the “Financing 



34 


Vendor”). Depending on the length of your Program, including the externship, the payments can 

be spread over a period of weeks or months. Please refer to the documents you receive from the 

Financing Vendor to determine the term length of your payment plan. Key things to know about 

the payment plan loan (the “Financing Plan”): 

• There is a non-refundable, one-time processing fee due when you apply for the Financing 

Plan. 

• The Financing Plan may require a credit card, debit card or co-signer. 

• Students with a troubled credit history or no credit history may be required to pay (1) a 

higher up-front deposit amount, (2) higher interest rate and/or (3) obtain a co-signature, 

commensurate with their credit history. 

• If the term of the Financing Plan is longer than the published Program length, which 

includes any externship (see your Program Schedule), the student will be required to sign 

a Program Completion Agreement (a copy of which can be found in the “Forms” section of 

this Catalog). Pursuant to the Program Completion Agreement, the student agrees that 

he/she will complete payment of a minimum of 75% of the Financing Plan amount before 

issuance of his/her Certificate. The student is required to continue making timely 

payments until the Financing Plan obligations have been fulfilled, even after the Certificate 

has been issued. See the “Program Completion & Certificate” section of this Catalog for 

additional information. 

• The Financing Vendor retains the right to use the credit card, debit card or co-signer’s 

pledge to secure the balance of the Financing Plan. Boston Reed and/or the Financing 

Vendor also retain the right to pursue repayment of a defaulted Financing Plan through all 

legal means, including garnishing wages, liens on property or belongings, or criminal 

prosecution. 

• Failure to make timely payments or to keep current on the Financing Plan is grounds for 

dismissal. If, at the time of dismissal, the student has completed more than 60% of the 

class portion of the Program, the student will be responsible for the full Financing Plan 

amount. 

Boston Reed Payment Plan 

The Boston Reed Payment Plan is an interest-free, short-term plan that distributes the Program 

costs, typically over three payments, with the final payment coming due before the end of the class 

portion of the Program. You will need to make a request to be considered for a payment plan, 

explain the circumstances that prohibit you from financing your Program through the Financing 

Vendor and provide documentary support for your request. 

Participants in the Boston Reed Payment Plan are required to sign the Payment Plan Agreement (a 

copy of which can be found in the “Forms” section of this Catalog). Boston Reed retains the right 

to: 

• Accelerate the entire remaining outstanding balance upon failure to make any payment on 

time. 

• Charge late fees pursuant to the terms of the Payment Plan Agreement. 



35 


• Charge interest on the unpaid balance if the Student has not paid the full amount of the 

payment plan by the date the final payment is due, as specified in the Payment Plan 

Agreement. 

• Pursue payment of any outstanding balance through all legal means, including liens on 

property or belongings, garnishing wages or criminal prosecution. 

Boston Reed Scholarship Program 

The Boston Reed Scholarship Program was established to award grants to qualified students to 

assist with the expenses of completing programs in the allied healthcare field. Interested students 

should review the eligibility and selection criteria and fill out an application online at 

www.BostonReed.com/paymentoptions. 

Merit-Based Discounts 

Boston Reed may have merit-based discounts available. For example, graduates who return and 

enroll in a new program can receive a discount off of the balance or final payment for the new 

program. You may be eligible for this or other merit-based discounts offered by Boston Reed. 



36 


FEES & REFUNDS POLICIES 

Fees 

As reflected in the Enrollment Agreement, students are charged tuition and the following fees: 

• Registration fee. 

• Materials fee. 

• Administrative expense fee. 

• Loan origination fee and/or an optional pre-paid credentialing exam fee, where applicable. 

Tuition and fees may vary depending on the location or host-site for the Program. Boston Reed’s 

school partners – colleges, universities and adult schools – are revenue-based, non-profit 

organizations. Each partner has overhead costs such as electricity, business office processes, staff 

salaries and, in some cases, room rental. In addition, colleges and universities require an 

instructional dean to review and approve the curriculum before the school’s logo can be used on 

the Certificate issued at the end of the Program. These expenses are reflected in the tuition, 

causing this to vary by location.

Student Tuition Recovery Fund 

The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate 

economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents or are 

enrolled in a residency program, and who attend certain schools regulated by the Bureau of 

Private Postsecondary Education. 

You may be eligible for STRF if you have a social security number or taxpayer identification 

number, have prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment fee and suffered a loss as a result of any 

of the following: 

• The closure of the institution. 

• The institution's failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for 

license fees or any other purposes, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge 

was collected within 180 days before the closure of the institution. 

• The institution's failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed 

student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the 

institution prior to closure in excess of tuition and other costs. 

• A significant decline in the quality or value of the educational program within the 30-day 

period before the closure of the institution or, if the decline began before that period, the 

period of decline determined by the Bureau, to a degree that results in the institution's 

failure to meet minimum operating or academic standards. 

• The student's inability, after diligent effort, to prosecute, prove and collect a judgment 

entered against a qualifying institution for a violation of the California Private 

Postsecondary Education Act of 2009. 

You must pay the state-imposed assessment fee for the STRF if both of the following apply to you: 

1. You are a student who is a California resident and prepays all or part of your tuition either 

by cash, guaranteed student loans or personal loans. 

2. Any third-party payer, such as an employer, government program or other payer, does not 

pay your charges unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third party. 

You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF 

assessment fee if either of the following applies: 

1. You are not a California resident or are not enrolled in a California residency program. 

2. Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program or 

other payer and you do not have a separate agreement to repay the third party. 

The STRF payment is included in the tuition prices. 



38 


Right to Cancel or Withdraw & Refund Policies 

You have the right to cancel your Enrollment Agreement for the Program without penalty or 

obligation by submitting the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form during the Cancellation Period. A 

timely cancellation entitles you to a full refund of any fees paid less the Non-Refundable Fees (see 

below). Additionally, you can obtain a refund of the materials fee if the materials are returned in 

their original, shrink-wrapped condition in a timely manner, pursuant to the Materials Return 

Policy described below. Note that your Enrollment Agreement will provide a breakdown of the 

fees and costs associated with your program. 

CANCELLATION MUST BE IN WRITING. Cancellation only occurs when you provide a written 

notice of cancellation using the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form available at 

https://secure.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/programresources.cfm and provided in this Catalog. 

Non-Refundable Fees 

The following fees are non-refundable: 

• Registration fee of $200-$250 (please refer to your Enrollment Agreement). 

• Financing Vendor’s processing fee, if applicable. 

• Materials fee, if the materials are not returned in their original, shrink-wrapped condition 

in a timely manner (please see the Materials Return Policy). 

Cancellation of Classroom-Based and Instructor-Led Online Programs 

The Cancellation Period for classroom-based programs is any time through the first class session 

or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. The Cancellation/Withdrawal Form can 

be submitted by fax to 800-600-1536 or sent by email to your Advisor on or before 11:59 p.m. PST 

on the date of the first class session or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. The 

date of submission will be treated as the Cancellation Date. 

If the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form is submitted after the Cancellation Period, you will be 

deemed to have withdrawn from the program and you will be entitled only to a pro-rated refund, 

as described in the “Withdrawal from Classroom-Based or Instructor-Led Online Programs” 

section, below. 

Hypothetical calculation of a refund following a timely cancellation. If a timely written notice of 

cancellation is received, you will be refunded any money you have paid, less the Non-Refundable 

Fees. Assume that a student enrolls in a course and pays $2,505 ($ 2,100 for tuition and 

administration fees, $200 registration fee, $55 Financing Vendor processing fee and $150 

materials fee). The student’s refund following a timely written notice of cancellation would be a 

minimum of $2,100 and a maximum of $2,305 (where the student has not used financing from the 

Financing Vendor and has returned materials pursuant to the Materials Return Policy). 



39 


REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST CANCEL IN WRITING by submitting the Cancellation/Withdrawal 

Form by fax to 800-600-1536, sent by email to your Advisor. You do not have the right to cancel 

by telephone or by not coming to class. 

Withdrawal from Classroom-Based or Instructor-Led Online Programs 

Even after the Cancellation Period has ended, you have the right to withdraw from the Program. 

A withdrawing student that has completed sixty (60) percent or less of the class portion of a 

classroom-based or instructor-led online Program has the right to receive a pro-rata refund of 

tuition payments and administrative fees paid, less the Non-Refundable Fees. You can voluntarily 

withdraw by submitting a Cancellation/Withdrawal Form by fax to 800-600-1536 or sent by email 

to your Advisor. The submission date will be treated as your Withdrawal Date for the purpose of 

determining the amount of the refund. 

If you are dismissed for failing to abide by the Boston Reed Student Policies (see the “General 

Grounds for Dismissal & Dismissal Procedure” section of this Catalog) before completing more 

than 60% of the class portion of the Program, your last date of recorded attendance shall be 

treated as your Withdrawal Date for the purpose of determining the amount of the refund. 

The Pro-Rata Refund is calculated by: 

1. Subtracting the Non-Refundable Fees from the total amount paid to determine the 

Maximum Refund Amount. 

2. Dividing the number of sessions left in the Program by the total number of sessions 

scheduled to calculate the Pro-Rata Fraction. If the Pro-Rata Fraction is .40 or greater, a 

refund is due. 

3. Multiplying the Maximum Refund Amount by the Pro-Rata Fraction to calculate the Pro- 

Rata Refund. 

4. Adding in the materials fee if the student returns the materials in their original, shrinkwrapped 

condition in a timely manner. 

Hypothetical calculation of a pro-rata refund. Assume that a student, upon enrollment in a course 

that is taught in ten sessions of equal length, pays $2,505 ($2,100 for tuition and administration 

fees, $200 registration fee, Financing Vendor processing fee of $55 and $150 materials fee). 

If the student attends 3 sessions and has opened and used the materials, he/she would receive a 

refund of $1,470. This is calculated using the following steps: 

1. Subtract the Non-Refundable Fees from the total amount paid ($2,505 - $200 – $55 -$150 = 

$2,100) to determine the Maximum Refund Amount. 

2. Divide the number of sessions left in the course (7) by the number of sessions for which 

he/she has paid (10) to determine the Pro-Rata Fraction. Here, the Pro-Rata Fraction is 

.70, which is greater than .40, and thus a refund is due. 

3. Multiply the Pro-Rata Fraction (.70) by the Maximum Refund Amount ($2,100) to 

determine the Refund Amount (.7 x $2,100 = $1,470). 

4. Do not add the materials fee, since the materials have been opened. ($1,470 + 0 = $1,470) 



40 


If the student attends 7 sessions, the Pro-Rata Fraction would be .30, which is less than .40, and 

thus the student would not be entitled to any refund because he/she has attended more than 60% 

of the course. 

Note: If you are dismissed pursuant to the General Grounds for Dismissal or the Externship 

Grounds for Dismissal after completing more than 60% of the class portion of the Program, Boston 

Reed is entitled to charge, and you are obligated to complete payment of, the entire cost of tuition 

and fees, agreed upon in the Enrollment Agreement. 

Refund Policy for Self-Paced Online Courses 

The first lesson and any related materials for all Boston Reed self-paced online courses are 

available through Boston Reed’s website. Students who are interested in taking a Boston Reed 

self-paced online course are encouraged to review the first lesson before enrolling in the course. 

After you have enrolled in the course and have made payment in full, Boston Reed will make the 

balance of the course materials available to you. Once you have received access to the full course, 

you will not be entitled to a refund. 

Refund Timing 

Refunds are sent to students within 45 days of the Cancellation or Withdrawal Date or, in the case 

of a self-paced online program, the receipt of returned materials. Refunds for material fees may be 

issued separately from other refunds. 

Materials Return Policy 

YOU ARE ADVISED NOT TO OPEN MATERIALS UNTIL YOU HAVE ATTENDED THE FIRST CLASS 

AND YOU HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM. 

Students are required to purchase certain books, software and/or equipment (“materials”) in 

order to participate in our programs. A fee is collected at the time of enrollment for these 

materials, which are sent directly to you, typically through FedEX. 

Materials can be returned for a full refund up to 30 days following the first class date of the 

Program. In order to obtain a refund, you must do all of the following: 

• Keep the materials in their original, shrink-wrapped condition. Materials that have been 

opened, damaged or used cannot be returned for a refund. 

• Print and complete the Materials Return Form, available at the end of this Catalog or online 

at https://secure.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/programresources.cfm. IN ORDER 

TO OBTAIN A REFUND, A COMPLETED MATERIALS RETURN FORM MUST ACCOMPANY 

ALL RETURNED MATERIALS.

• Send an email providing the delivery method and tracking number to your Advisor. It is 

recommended that you ship the materials using a traceable method, such as Priority Mail at 

the United States Post Office, UPS or Federal Express. 1 Please package the materials so that 

they are not damaged in route and be sure to enclose the Materials Return Form. 

Refunds for materials fees may be issued separately from other refunds you might receive from 

Boston Reed. Refunds are sent within 45 days of receipt of materials returned in a timely manner 

and unused condition. 

Program Cancellation 

If you enroll in a program that is subsequently cancelled in its entirety for any reason and you are 

unable to find a suitable replacement Program, you are entitled to a full refund, including the 

registration fee. Please note, however, that if you chose to apply for financing through the 

Financing Vendor, your financing processing fee was paid to the Financing Vendor and not Boston 

Reed, and thus cannot be refunded. We will issue your refund within 45 business days of the 

Program cancellation. If you return the materials in their original, shrink-wrapped condition, 

pursuant to the Materials Return policy, the materials fee also will be refunded. You can request a 

FedEX shipping label for the return of unopened, unused materials by emailing your Advisor. 

Please enclose the Materials Return Form in the FedEX package. Your materials fee refund will be 

issued separately. 

Schedule/Location Changes 

Program schedules and locations are selected in advance but may change as planning progresses. 

Every effort is made to maintain the days and times of classes once the schedule is posted. 

Infrequently, a Program’s day or time may need to change due to Instructor availability. If a 

change is required, you will be notified immediately. If your schedule cannot accommodate the 

schedule change, you must submit a Cancellation/Withdrawal Form in order to receive a refund. 

Class location may change during the Program due to classroom space limitations. Location 

changes within 15 miles of the original location will not be considered grounds for a refund. 

Pre-Paid Credentialing Exam Fees 

At the time of enrollment, you may elect to pre-pay for or finance the National Healthcareer 

Association (NHA) certification exam that corresponds with your Program in order to receive a 

1 If Boston Reed cancels your Program and you are unable to find a suitable replacement Program, 

you can request a FedEX shipping label for the return of the materials by emailing your Advisor. 

Please see the “Program Cancellation” section below. Please enclose the Materials Return Form in 

the FedEX package. 



42 


discount, lock in the exam fee rate and/or distribute the cost of the exam over the payment 

schedule you have arranged for your Program’s tuition and fees. Please be aware of the following: 

• You are not required to pre-pay for the certification exam. 

• Not all states require that persons practicing in your allied healthcare field sit for a 

certification exam in order to work in the field. Nor do all states that require 

certification accept the NHA exam as a means to satisfy regulatory requirements for 

registration or licensure. You are advised to confirm with the appropriate agency of the 

state in which you intend to practice what, if any, certification requirements are 

imposed by the state in your allied healthcare field. 

• If you withdraw after more than 60% of the classroom portion of the Program has been 

completed, you will not be entitled to a refund of the NHA fee. 

• Boston Reed and NHA are corporate entities that are related through a common 

ultimate-parent company. 

After you have completed the class portion of the Program, you will receive a letter from NHA 

describing the exam registration process. Once you have scheduled your exam, the NHA 

certification exam and materials fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, unless NHA cancels 

your exam. 

Externship Refund 

Some of the programs require participation in an externship. If you have satisfactorily completed 

the coursework but are unable to complete the externship, you may be entitled to a partial tuition 

refund, not to exceed $150, under certain conditions. See the “Externship Fee Refund Policy” 

section in this Catalog for more information. 

Sallie Mae Loans 

If you have financed your program through a Sallie Mae Loan, Sallie Mae will transmit the funds 

necessary to satisfy your financial obligation to Boston Reed on the first day of class. If you later 

cancel or withdraw from the program, a refund will be calculated using the method described in 

the “Right to Cancel or Withdraw & Refund Policies” section above, as appropriate to the 

circumstances, and the refund amount, if any, will be sent directly to Sallie Mae. You will still be 

obligated to pay Sallie Mae the balance remaining (the total loan amount minus the refund 

amount), plus any fees and interest charged by Sallie Mae. Please refer to your agreement with 

Sallie Mae for more information. 

Third-Party Payers 

If you received financing assistance from a third-party, including the Financing Vendor, 

CalWorkforce, Vocational Rehabilitation, an American Job Center, a Local Service Organization, an 



43 


employer or other state or private source (see the “Payment Options” section of this Catalog), you 

should have a representative of that entity contact Boston Reed directly. 

Even if a third party is financing your education, you and you alone are responsible for all 

payments and monies owed to Boston Reed. Accordingly, if the third party payer loans you less 

than the full-amount owed to Boston Reed, that amount will be credited to your account and you 

will be required to pay the balance. You will be contacted about making arrangements for 

payment of the balance. Similarly, if the third party payer rescinds its offer to loan or grant you 

funds, regardless of whether you, or any action taken by you, caused the rescission of the offer, 

you will be required to pay Boston Reed the amount previously promised by the third party payer. 

Additionally, you and you alone are responsible for repaying any and all third party loans, plus 

interest and fees, regardless of whether you complete the Program. Boston Reed has no 

responsibility with respect to the repayment of your loans. 

If a refund is due and Boston Reed received funds from a third-party payer on your behalf, Boston 

Reed will issue a refund to the third-party payer before refunding any money to you. The refund 

may not be sufficient to absolve you of your debt, and you may need to make additional loan 

payments to the third party financer. Any refund due in excess of the amount paid to Boston Reed 

on your behalf by a third party payer will be issued to you. 

Registration Fee Roll-Over 

If you enroll in a program and subsequently cancel, or if you voluntarily withdraw before the halfway 

point of the class portion of the Program, you can request that your registration fee be rolledover 

to another program by contacting your Advisor. Although we want to encourage our 

students to find the right program for their needs, we limit the Registration Fee Roll-Over as 

follows: 

• To qualify, you must: 

o Request to roll-over the registration fee at the time you cancel or voluntarily 

withdraw from a program. 

o Be current on all your financial obligations. 

o Have grades to-date that meet the minimum requirement for your Program. 

o Have abided by the attendance policy. 

• Your request will be approved automatically if you meet the above requirements, have not 

previously requested and received a registration fee roll-over and, at the time of your rollover 

request, you select a program that is scheduled to start within the next six months. 

• If your request does not qualify for an automatic approval, we will review the 

circumstances of your cancellation or withdrawal. If the circumstances warrant a roll-over 

of the registration fee, you will be notified in writing. 

• If you are awarded a registration fee roll-over, you will be responsible for paying the 

difference between the registration fee for the initial program and that of the new program 

if the new program’s registration fee is higher. 

• You must execute a new Enrollment Agreement and, if applicable, a new Financing 

Agreement. 



44 


Tuition Transfer 

Tuition is not transferable to other people. Boston Reed will allow a Qualified Student to apply 

tuition and program-expense fee payments that had been made towards one Program to another, 

upcoming Program. To be a Qualified Student, you must meet all of the following conditions: 

• You submitted a Cancellation/Withdrawal Form within 30 days of the first class date of 

your original Program. 

• You are current on all your financial obligations. 

• You have selected a new program, either in the same allied health field or another, that is 

scheduled to start within the next six months. 

• Your grades to-date meet the minimum requirement for your Program; 

• You have abided by the attendance policy. 

• You have met with your Advisor and explained (1) the reasons why you need to 

discontinue the initial Program and (2) why you believe that you will successfully be able 

to complete the newly selected program, and your Advisor approves the transfer. 

• You agree to pay a $250 processing fee, due at the time of transfer. 

• You agree that if the materials needed for the new Program are different than those used 

in the initial Program, you will purchase the new materials at a cost of $150, due at the 

time of transfer. 

• You execute a new Enrollment Agreement and, if applicable, a new Financing Agreement. 

If you would have been entitled to a refund, the refund amount will be applied to the new 

Program. If the total cost of the new Program is less than the total cost of the initial Program, you 

will be entitled to a refund of the difference. The refund will be issued pursuant to the “Refund 

Timing” policy described above. 

If you financed the original Program through the Financing Vendor, the payments you made 

toward the tuition and program-expense fees of the original Program, as of the Cancellation or 

Withdrawal Date, will be applied toward the cost of the new Program. The initial financing 

agreement will be cancelled. If you wish to finance the remainder of the cost of the new Program 

through the Financing Vendor, you will need to reapply and will need to pay the Financing 

Vendor’s non-refundable processing fee again.

BOSTON REED STUDENT POLICIES 

Your Contact Information 

It is your responsibility to notify the Instructor and/or your Student Advisor 

of any change to your contact information, including a change of address, 

telephone number(s) or email addresses, using the Information Change Form 

found at the end of this Catalog or online at 

https://secure.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/programresources.cfm. 

You must email the form with the updated information to your Instructor 

and Advisor. Important information and documentation, such as schedule 

changes, externship placement updates and your Certificate, will be sent to 

you based upon the contact information you have on file. 

Attendance 

Students are expected to attend all classes scheduled by the Instructor and to arrive on time and 

remain for the entirety of the class period. 

“Absence” means: 

• Non-attendance of a scheduled class or activity. 

• Late arrival to class. 

• Early departure from class. 

• Breaks that the Instructor considers excessive, including personal breaks during a class 

period or returning late from scheduled breaks. 

Absences are tracked by the Instructor, recorded in the official attendance records and monitored 

by your Advisor and the Associate Program Managers (APM). Excessive absences are grounds 

for dismissal from the program. Three consecutive absences will be deemed a withdrawal from 

the Program. For more information, see the “Right to Cancel or Withdraw & Refund Policies” 

section of this Catalog. Please refer to the “Attendance” section of the Program Supplement for 

information concerning additional attendance requirements of your Program. 

If an absence cannot be avoided, students are required to notify the Instructor or Advisor in 

advance, or as soon as possible thereafter. It is within the Instructor’s or Advisor’s discretion to 

determine whether the basis for the absence is reasonable and excusable. 

Students are required to make-up any work that is missed as a result of an absence. In 

addition to making up assigned work, the student may be required to complete additional work 

assigned at the Instructor’s or Advisor’s discretion. 



46 


Attendance Warning Notices 

Your lack of attendance may cause your Instructor or Advisor to issue a warning notice. 

Such notices are courtesies, intended to help you get back on track with the Program. Your 

attendance record, however, will determine whether you are subject to dismissal on the 

grounds of excessive absence regardless of whether or not you were sent, or you received, 

any warning notices. 

Leave of Absence 

Boston Reed does not grant students any leave of absence, nor does it maintain a leave of 

absence policy. If you are unable to complete the Program due to a medical necessity or 

other extraordinary circumstance, please contact your Advisor who will help you 

determine the best course of action given your circumstances. 

Program Completion & Certificates 

Program Completion 

In order to obtain a Certificate for your Program, you must: 

• Pass the class portion (the in-class and/or online portion) of the Program. 

• Complete an externship to the satisfaction of the externship site, where applicable. 

• Fulfill your financial obligations for the Program. Your financial obligations are fulfilled 

when you have made payment in full. 

o If you have a payment plan through the School’s Financing Vendor and the term of 

your payment plan is longer than the published Program length, you will be 

required to sign a Program Completion Agreement (a copy of the Agreement is 

included at the end of this Catalog). The Program Completion Agreement states that 

your Certificate will be withheld until you have met all of the following 

requirements: 

• Your payment plan account is current. 

• You have paid, typically, 75% of the initial loan amount. This percentage may 

differ depending on the credit-worthiness of the student and/or the 

guarantor. 

• You have provided a credit card or cosigner to ensure the payment of the 

balance of the loan. You are required to continue making timely payments 

until the loan obligations have been fulfilled, even after the Certificate has 

been issued. 

Note that if your Program includes an externship, the Program is not completed until the 

externship has ended and Boston Reed has received an evaluation of “Satisfactory” from your 

externship site. To determine the typical Program Completion End Date for your Program, you 

must reference the Program Schedule in this Catalog. Calculate the end date by locating the start 



47 


date in the “Classwork Dates” column and adding the total number of months in the “Typical 

Program Total Duration” column. For example, a Clinical Medical Assistant Program typically 

takes 7 months to complete the class-based instruction, externship placement, externship, 

preceptor evaluation and issuance of certificate. So the end date would be approximately 7 

months after the start date. 

Certificates 

Until you have met the above requirements for completing the Program, Boston Reed retains the 

right to withhold your Certificate. 

If your Program includes an externship, there are two forms of Certificate that may be issued: (1) a 

Full Certificate and (2) a Modified Certificate. The Full Certificate will indicate that you met both 

the requirements of the class and externship portions of the Program. A Modified Certificate will 

indicate that you successfully completed only the class portion of the Program. 

Note: Please be aware that a Modified Certificate may not be sufficient to meet the requirements 

for state licensure or registration, the prerequisites for sitting for certification exams or the hiring 

requirements of potential employers. If your Program includes an externship portion, you are 

strongly encouraged to meet all of your externship prerequisites (see the “Externship 

Prerequisites” and “Eligibility” sections of this Catalog), cooperate fully in the externship 

placement process (see “Externship Placement”), avoid conduct that falls within the stated 

grounds for dismissal (see “General Grounds for Dismissal & Dismissal Procedure” and 

“Externship-Based Grounds for Dismissal from the Program”) and successfully complete the 

externship to the satisfaction of your externship site and Preceptor (see “Externship Completion & 

Final Evaluation”). 

Phlebotomy-Specific Rules: California has a highly regimented licensing process for 

California phlebotomy technicians. The State of California will not accept a Modified 

Certificate. In order to obtain a license and to be employable as a phlebotomy technician in 

California, you must successfully complete an externship and earn a Full Certificate. 

Certificates will be mailed to the most current address on file for you. It is your responsibility to 

make sure that your contact information is always current and up-to-date, even after you finish 

the Program. If your contact information changes, you must submit an Information Change Form 

(located at the end of this Catalog) or submit the updated information to your Student Advisor. If 

a Certificate is returned because the address we have for you is not current, or if you lose your 

Certificate or need an additional Certificate, you will be charged $20 for a replacement. 

Replacement Certificates can be ordered by submission of the Document Request Form, which can 

be found at the end of this Catalog or at 

https://secure.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/programresources.cfm and can be submitted 

by email to your Advisor. 



48 


Grading Policy 

To successfully pass the class portion of the Program, students must achieve the minimum overall 

cumulative grade average (Final Grade) specified for the program. The Final Grade is based on: 

• Quizzes: 

o Quizzes are administered online for most modules. 

o Quizzes, including retakes, must be completed prior to the class meeting when you 

begin working on the next module. Missed quizzes will be scored as 0%. 

o The lowest quiz score is dropped when calculating the final grade. 

• Midterm, where applicable: 

o In the event that a student does not achieve the minimum grade on either or both 

portions of the midterm, the student is allowed one retake. 

o If a second attempt is taken, the posted grade will be the average of the 2 scores. 

• Final Exam: 

o Scores are final. No additional attempts are permitted. 

• Performance on homework assignments, class participation and written communications. 

These factors will all be weighted in calculating Final Grades for your Program. For example, a 

typical Final Grade weighting scheme may be: 

• Homework assignments will account for 10% of the Final Grade. 

• Quizzes will account for 30% of the Final Grade. 

• Class participation will account for 5% of the Final Grade. 

• Written communications will account for 5% of the Final Grade. 

• Midterm and final exams will account for 50% of the Final Grade. 

Please consult your Program Supplement for information concerning: (1) the minimum average 

grade, across all quizzes, needed in order to pass the class portion of the Program; (2) the 

minimum midterm and final exam grades for the Program and (3) the passing Final Grade 

requirement. Please consult your syllabus for information concerning the Final Grade weightingscheme 

for your Program. 

Grading Warning Notices 

It is important that you do not fall behind in the Program and that you seek extra help 

when you need it. To assist you, your Advisor may monitor your cumulative grade average 

throughout the class portion of the Program. If your Advisor notes that your average grade 

across homework assignments, quizzes and tests taken to-date is lower than the minimum 

average grade needed to pass the Program, he/she may send you a warning notice. We 

recommend that you take corrective action if you receive a warning notice. If you continue 

to fall behind, you can be dismissed from the Program. Typically, increased studying and 

quiz preparation is enough to get your grades back on track. If you need additional help, 

you should contact your Instructor. 



49 


Such notices are courtesies, intended to help you get back on track with the Program. Your 

cumulative grade average, however, will determine whether you are subject to dismissal on 

the grounds of failing to maintain the minimum cumulative average grade for your 

Program, regardless of whether or not you were sent, or you received, any warning notices. 

Distance Learning Evaluations 

All distance learning provided by Boston Reed occurs online and, in most cases, is 

instructor-led. Quizzes, exams and many homework assignments are conducted online and 

are scored immediately. Students have an opportunity to view the results and determine 

areas of weakness, so that they may study and review those areas in order to retake 

quizzes and the midterm exam. In both classroom-based and instructor-led online 

modules, students have the opportunity to ask questions and work with their Instructors to 

develop learning strategies that address identified areas of weakness, if any. The self-paced 

online courses also include quizzes, and other evaluation tools, to assist students in 

assessing and reinforcing their understanding of the content as they progress through the 

course. In self-paced courses, students can review their results and retake quizzes and 

exams. Once they have scored 80% or higher on all quizzes and exams, they will have 

completed the course. 

Rules of Student Conduct 

In helping students prepare for professional careers, each Program requires that you abide by 

rules of conduct that mirror workplace expectations. These rules include: 

• Be courteous and respectful to all persons at all times, including, but not limited to, fellow 

students; instructors; host or partner school personnel; clients and visitors to the host or 

partner school, externship site, program or Boston Reed; externship personnel and Boston 

Reed personnel. 

• Be on time and prepared for class. 

• Give advance notice of any absences, late arrivals or early departures. 

• Be conscientious and diligent in the performance of all assignments. 

• Conduct yourself as a professional at all times, regardless of the circumstances; 

• Avoid behaviors that could be perceived as sexual harassment, including, but not limited to, 

unwelcome touching, vulgar language or inappropriate images. 

• Be honest and ethical in all aspects of your academic and externship work. 

• Do not take medical supplies or remove equipment from the externship site, classroom or 

skill labs without prior permission of the Instructor or externship personnel. These 

supplies are for educational purposes only and should be used only under proper 

supervision. 

• Follow all safety instructions issued by the externship site, Boston Reed, the host or partner 

school, Instructors or public safety officials and use standard precautions when performing 

medical procedures, if any, taught in the program. 



50 


Policy on Dishonesty 

Dishonesty will not be tolerated. Examples of dishonesty include: 

• Cheating, plagiarism and knowingly assisting another student in cheating or plagiarism. 

• Knowingly furnishing false information to your school, program personnel, externship 

personnel or potential employers. 

• Providing false statements on your Attestations. 

When a student is charged with dishonesty (based upon reasonable proof, documentation or 

an admission of the student), the student’s advisor will receive written notification of the 

charge and the evidence. The advisor will impose a disciplinary action and warn the student 

that dishonest behavior will result in additional disciplinary action. Disciplinary actions may 

include, but are not limited to, the following: 

• Issuance of a failing grade of “0” for the assignment or quiz in question. 

• Issuance of a failing grade for the Program. 

• Denial of an externship placement. 

• Dismissal from the Program. 

Harassment Policy 

There is no tolerance in the Program for harassment or assault of, or by, students. Any person 

found to have engaged in such conduct will be subject to discipline, up to and including 

expulsion from the Program. Victims are urged to report any harassment or assault as soon as 

possible to their Instructor, Advisor, school authorities and, in any event of matters involving 

personal safety, law enforcement. Confidentiality will be respected and preserved to the 

fullest extent possible in all circumstances; however, we reserve the right to notify law 

enforcement authorities of reported incidents of harassment or assault if other persons are at 

risk of harm. 

Nondiscrimination Policy 

Discrimination or harassment of individuals based upon their sex, religion, color, national 

origin, physical handicap, marital status, medical condition, age or any other status protected 

by state and federal laws will not be tolerated. Students of the Program and all personnel 

associated with the Program are not to engage in any discriminatory conduct. Any person 

found to have engaged in such conduct will be subject to discipline, up to and including 

expulsion from the Program. 



51 


General Grounds for Dismissal & Dismissal Procedure 

Dismissal may be imposed on a student for any one of the following: 

• Conduct that puts fellow students, faculty, oneself or any other person or property 

associated with the Program, a host or partner school, Boston Reed or an externship site in 

danger or at risk of harm. 

• Failure to maintain the minimum cumulative average grade for your Program as described 

generally in the “Grading Policy” section of this Catalog and specifically in the Program 

Supplement. 

• Absence in excess of the maximum permitted for your Program, as described generally in 

the “Attendance” section of this Catalog and specifically in the Program Supplement. 

• Failure to meet your financial obligations to Boston Reed or, where applicable, any thirdparty 

payer, including but not limited to the Financing Vendor. 

• Failure to abide by Boston Reed’s rules, policies and regulations as described in this 

Catalog, the syllabus or the Program Supplement, or provided, distributed or posted by an 

externship site or a host or partner school. 

• Failure to abide by any of the rules listed in the “Externship-Based Grounds for Dismissal” 

section of this Catalog. 

• Disruptive behavior or a lack of common courtesy and respect for program or Boston Reed 

personnel; any person associated with the host or partner school; any person associated 

with an externship site; any clients or visitors to the program, the host or partner school, 

an externship site or Boston Reed; instructors or fellow students. 

• Failure to abide by any or all of the terms of the Enrollment Agreement. 

• Providing false or misleading information in the “Attestations”, the “Assumption of Risk 

and Waiver” agreement, the Enrollment Agreement or any other agreement you made that 

is associated with the Program. 

• Behavior or positive test results that are related to alcohol or drug use. 

Boston Reed reserves the right to dismiss a student that engages in illegal, socially unacceptable or 

threatening behavior not specifically described above. 

Procedure for Dismissal: Reports of misconduct received by any Boston Reed personnel, including 

during an externship, will be forwarded to the assigned Student Advisor. Additionally, the 

Instructor will notify the Advisor if a student is not meeting the course requirements or his/her 

obligations pursuant to the Enrollment Agreement, this Catalog, the Program Supplement and/or 

the Syllabus. The Advisor will investigate the report. The Advisor may, but is not required to, 

contact the student to obtain further information and may, but is not required to, issue a warning 

letter. The Advisor will determine whether dismissal is appropriate and, if so, will inform the 

student in writing (such writing may be in the form of an email). The student then has the option 

to appeal the decision by submitting a request for reconsideration, in writing, to the Associate 

Program Manager no later than ten (10) days after the date of the written notice of dismissal. 

If you are dismissed for failing to abide by the rules and regulations of the school after completing 

more than sixty percent (60%) of instruction, Boston Reed will charge the entire cost of tuition as 



52 


agreed upon in the enrollment application (see the “Withdrawal from Classroom-Based or 

Instructor-Led Online Programs” section of this Catalog). 



53 


STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES 

Boston Reed provides students with information and contacts for a variety 

of resources that will help students be successful in their Program. You 

should familiarize yourself with these resources as soon as possible so that, 

when you need them, you will know where to turn. Additionally, we offer 

both live and online information sessions for prospective students to learn 

about Boston Reed and the allied healthcare programs we offer. 

Staff & Administration 

Your Boston Reed educational experience involves staff and administration working in the 

following capacities: 

Admission Counselors 

These people are the “hosts” of Boston Reed. Admission Counselors greet prospective 

students who contact Boston Reed online, by email, by telephone or in person. The 

Admission staff will answer questions about the Programs, send information packets and 

assist prospective students through the enrollment and financing processes. 

Associate Program Managers (APM) 

This group oversees your healthcare job training program from start to finish. They are 

responsible for all communications and coordination with the host partner school, 

identifying and assigning course instructors and overall classroom management. The APM 

will gather feedback throughout the Program, conduct post-program reviews to identify 

potential content improvements and assess instructor performance. 

Instructors 

The Instructors and their assistants are responsible for teaching the Program content and 

demonstrating the practical skills needed in the allied healthcare field being taught. 

Instructors typically are certified or licensed and have many years of experience working in 

their field. Many are also credentialed vocational educators. While the class portion of a 

program is underway, Instructors are expected to respond to email or telephone calls 

within 48 hours and to help students develop studying skills that will assist them in 

absorbing the Program content. 

Student Advisors 

This team assists students throughout the Program. Once your enrollment is completed, 

you will be assigned a Student Advisor. You should direct any questions about or issues 



54 


concerning the Program to your Advisor. If your Program includes an externship, your 

Advisor will be responsible for arranging your externship placement. 

Student Rights 

Each student has certain rights that accompany his/her responsibilities. Those rights are to be 

protected by both students and staff regardless of an individual’s sex, religion, color, national 

origin, physical handicap, marital status, medical condition, age or any other status protected by 

state and federal laws. 

The following Student Rights are recognized: 

• Boston Reed shall be open to applicants who are qualified according to current admission 

requirements within the limits of its resources and facilities (see the “Get Started” section 

of this Catalog for more information). 

• Students have the right to be informed about Boston Reed and Program requirements, 

policies and procedures (see this Catalog and our website generally, your Program 

Supplement, your Enrollment Agreement and the Program Performance Fact Sheets for 

more information). 

• Students shall have the right to access Boston Reed campus facilities and, at host/partner 

schools, the buildings and rooms used in teaching the Program and such other campus 

facilities the host/partner school makes available to the general public. 

• Students have the right to Cancel or Withdraw from a Program and, depending on timing, 

receive a refund (see the “Fees & Refunds Policies” section of this Catalog for more 

information). 

• Boston Reed undertakes reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of student records 

and information in compliance with state and federal laws. 

• Students have a right to review their student records and to request corrections to the 

records where the data is inaccurate. 

• Information about student views, beliefs, private activities and political associations, which 

is acquired or learned by Boston Reed employees in the course of work, is treated with 

professional judgment and confidentiality. 

• Professional evaluations and references about the ability and character of students may be 

provided, under appropriate circumstances. 

• Students may express their views on Boston Reed policies or matters of general interest, 

and may support causes by any orderly means that do not disrupt the operation of the 

Program, the partner hosting the Program, Boston Reed or the externship site, if any, 

where a student is placed. 

• In the classroom or during online course sessions, students may take exception to the 

information and may reserve judgment about matters of opinion in a respectful and nondisruptive 

manner. Students, however, remain responsible for learning the content of the 

Program. 

• Student publications, including online social media postings, email, blogs and microblogs 

(such as Twitter), must state that the opinions expressed are those of the author and not 



55 


necessarily those of the Program, the partner/host school, Boston Reed or the student body 

of either Boston Reed or the partner/host school. 

• Students have a right to a grievance procedure. 

Student Grievance Procedures 

“Student Grievances” are complaints concerning the administration of school, Program, Instructor 

or, under some circumstances, externship site policies or procedures. Personal disputes between 

students or general discontent with coursework requirements or expectations should be brought 

to the Instructor’s attention and resolved informally. Violations of the Rules of Student Conduct 

should be brought to the attention of the Instructor and/or Student Advisor. 

Students are advised to attempt to resolve grievances with the Instructor first, if applicable. If not 

satisfied, a student may initiate the Program grievance procedure with his/her assigned Advisor. 

The initiation of a formal grievance is a serious matter and must not be undertaken over trivial 

matters or out of malice. 

All grievances must be in written form and must be signed, dated and submitted to the Advisor by 

email. The grievance complaint should include: 

• A factual description of the complaint or dispute resulting in the grievance. 

• The name(s) of the person(s) against whom the grievance is initiated. 

• A brief description of all informal attempts at resolution. 

• Any other information that the grievant believes to be relevant or helpful. 

The grievant should attach any documentation in her/his possession bearing on the subject 

matter of the complaint to the written complaint. 

Upon receipt of the written complaint, the Advisor shall send the grievant an acknowledgment of 

receipt. The Advisor shall decide whether the complaint presents a grievable issue and, if not, 

shall notify the grievant of the reasons for this determination. If not satisfied, the grievant can 

resubmit the complaint to the Associate Program Manager. 

If it is determined that the complaint states a grievable issue, the Advisor shall notify the person(s) 

against whom the complaint has been made and shall provide him/her/them with a copy of the 

complaint. The Advisor shall assemble all relevant documentation and facts. A report of this 

information shall be forwarded to all parties involved. On the basis of the assembled information, 

the Advisor shall attempt to achieve a resolution of the grievance in a manner appropriate to the 

circumstances. Such a resolution shall be subject to the approval of the Associate Program 

Manager. 

If the involved parties, with the help of the Advisor, are unable to achieve a resolution, the 

Associate Program Manager will review all information gathered and may, at his/her discretion, 

interview any or all involved parties. The Associate Program Manager, in conjunction with the 



56 


Program Manager, will decide what, if any, remedial relief in favor of the grievant should be 

granted. In consideration of the relief granted, if any, the grievant shall agree to execute a 

complete release of all claims arising from the subject matter of the grievance.

Request for Accommodations 

The Program will provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations in accordance with the 

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) for individuals with documented disabilities who 

request and demonstrate the need for accommodations. ADA regulations define a person with a 

disability as someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more 

major life activities. The Program requires documentation to validate that the individual is 

covered by the ADA as a disabled individual and to allow accommodations to be specifically 

matched with the identified functional limitation. Participants with an identified disability per 

ADA guidelines must submit a written request for accommodations, including all appropriate 

supporting documentation, at least four weeks before the anticipated start date of the Program. 

Written requests for accommodations should be emailed to your Advisor. 

Written requests for accommodations must: 

• Be specific about the type of accommodation requested. 



57 


• Be submitted, signed and dated by the student. 

• Identify the Program, Program start date and Program location for which you have 

enrolled. 

• Include appropriate supporting documentation, such as: 

o A letter from a physician, or other healthcare professional, qualified to diagnose 

the disability or medical condition and to render an opinion as to the need for an 

accommodation; and dated no more than three (3) years before the start date of 

the Program. 

o If you left high school less than 2 years before the start date of the Program, an 

Individualized Education Plan (IEP) dated no later than the start of the semester 

that preceded your last academic year of attendance. 

Regardless of whether a doctor’s letter or IEP is submitted, the documentation must contain all of 

the following information: 

• The name, credentials and contact information of the healthcare professional who made 

the diagnosis. 

• A description of the specific, professionally recognized, diagnosis for the particular 

category of disability. 

• A description of the specific diagnostic criteria and specific tests used, with test dates and 

detailed interpretations of results. 

• A detailed description about your limitations due to the diagnosed disability. 

• Evidence of your functional impairment in other parts of your life (outside of test-taking). 

• If requesting accommodations for a learning disability, including attention deficient 

disorders or dyslexia, please provide additional documentation from your childhood 

reflecting these diagnoses. An outdated IEP can be provided for this purpose. 

Please do not submit original documentation, letters from non-credentialed evaluators, 

handwritten letters, bound materials, your résumé or articles about disabilities. 

Your Advisor will work with the Associate Program Manager to make an accommodation 

determination. Your Advisor will contact you to discuss your accommodation plan. 



58 


Student Records 

All student records are maintained for a period of 5 years after the Program Completion Date (see 

the “Program Completion & Certificates” section of this Catalog for more information) or, if a 

student cancels or withdraws from the Program, the Cancellation or Withdrawal date (see the 

“Right to Cancel or Withdraw & Refund Policies” section of this Catalog for more information). If 

you require copies of any of your student records or documents kept on file by Boston Reed, you 

will need to fill out a Document Request Form. This form can be found online at 

https://secure.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/programresources.cfm and can be submitted online, 

in person, by email or by fax. If you have any questions about student records you may send an 

email to your Advisor. 

Learning Resources 

Most Boston Reed programs are held at partner schools. Boston Reed students are permitted to 

access the buildings and rooms used in teaching the Program and other such campus facilities that 

the host partner school makes available to the general public. In most cases, Boston Reed students 

are also permitted to use the libraries and other learning resources available at the partner 

schools. 2 Boston Reed has online programs that provide students with study tools and test-result 

guidance. Students also have online study groups and forums available for sharing information. 

Because all healthcare job training programs are instructor-led, students also have the 

opportunity to interact with their Instructor, ask questions and obtain feedback on their 

performance. Students are also encouraged to use online resources, such as dictionaries, study 

aids and topical websites. 

Boston Reed offers free technical support to students using Boston Reed online products. If you 

are having technical problems associated with our online applications, contact your Student 

Advisor. 

Housing 

Boston Reed does not provide student housing or housing assistance. 

2 If you wish to use the library or other learning resources of the partner school at which your 

Program is held, please first notify with your Advisor. Your Advisor will ascertain whether there 

are any restrictions on your use of these areas of the partner school campus. 



59 


EXTERNSHIPS 

Not all programs include an externship. Please reference your 

Program Supplement to determine whether you will participate in an 

externship. If your Program requires an externship, you should review 

this “Externships” section carefully because it contains information 

and requirements that you must address at or near the beginning of 

the Program. 

What is an Externship 

An externship is an opportunity to continue your learning in a hands-on environment. It is an 

important step toward becoming a professional in your chosen field and will allow you to put into 

practice what you have learned in the class portion of your Program. As an extern, you are still 

considered a student. You will work under the guidance of a “Preceptor” – a teacher and 

practicing professional employed by your externship site – to gain actual workplace experience. 

Your Preceptor will provide you with an orientation to the policies and workflow of the externship 

site company. This is your chance to observe and participate in the practice of your chosen field as 

you transition from student to professional. 

Eligibility 

You must be “Fully Eligible” to be placed into an externship. To be Fully Eligible for an externship 

you must have: 

• Submitted all the following prerequisite materials on time (described in detail below): 

o Résumé 

o CPR for healthcare professional 

o physical exam & TB screening 

o Applicable state- and/or site-specific requirements 

• Achieved sufficient time in the classroom and met the performance expectations (minimum 

cumulative average grade) for the Program. 

• Met your financial obligations by having a history of timely payment and a “current” 

balance on your account. 

• Complied with the policies and procedures of the Program, including attendance and Rules 

of Conduct. 

• Completed a significant portion of the class portion of the Program, as specified in the 

Program Supplement, while achieving the minimum cumulative grade requirement, also 

specified in the Program Supplement. 

• Provide your Advisor with your availability within the “Availability” parameters described 

below. 

It is your obligation to: 

• Make sure that you complete all of the externship prerequisites. 



60 


• Assess whether a drug test, background check and/or refusal to submit to being 

vaccinated will render you ineligible for an externship. If you anticipate conflicts in any of 

these areas, you can discuss the issue with your Advisor, if you are willing to disclose the 

issue, and your Advisor will assist you in determining whether you should undertake the 

Program. 

If you fail to complete these externship prerequisites in a timely manner, you will be placed at the 

end of the externship placement list and, if you continue delaying the completion of your 

prerequisites, you may be ineligible for an externship placement. It is important to note that there 

are timing constraints with respect to locating a placement site and completing the externship. 

(See the “Timing of Externship Placements” section of this Catalog for more information.) 

Accordingly, a long delay in reaching the Fully Eligible status may make it impossible for you to 

complete the Program. In such a case, you may qualify only for a Modified Certificate and will not 

be entitled to a refund for the externship portion of the Program. 

If it is determined that you are not eligible for an externship because you failed to complete 

and/or pass the drug testing, background checks and/or immunization, you will receive only a 

Modified Certificate upon completing and passing the class portion of the Program and you will 

not be entitled to a refund for the externship portion of the Program. 

Externship Prerequisites 

Externship sites have several requirements that need to be met before a student can be 

considered for placement. It is your obligation to make sure that you have completed all of the 

externship prerequisites. You may incur additional costs in completing your prerequisites, 

including but not limited to: 

• CPR training 

• Background checks 

• Drug screens 

• Immunizations 

• Physical exam 

• Paying state application fees 

You also may be required to purchase scrubs, a lab coat, close-toed shoes and a watch with a 

second hand, depending on the externship site. 

In order to ensure that all of the prerequisites are met well in advance of the placement process, it 

is recommended that you begin compiling the prerequisite materials soon after the class portion 

of the program begins. Please see your Program Supplement for information concerning the week 

in your Program by which you should have submitted all of your prerequisite materials (the 

“Externship Prerequisites Milestone”). 



61 


If you do not submit all of your prerequisite materials by the Externship Prerequisites Milestone, 

you will be delegated to the end of the externship waiting list and, if you delay too long, you may 

not be eligible for an externship placement. In such a case, you may qualify only for a Modified 

Certificate and will not be entitled to a refund for the externship portion of the Program. 

Résumé 

Your résumé will be sent to sites that are interested in hosting you for your externship. Your 

résumé is your first introduction to the professional community of your chosen field. It is 

important that your résumé makes a good first impression. 

There are many websites that can provide you with samples or templates of résumé forms. The 

word processing program on your computer also may have templates you can use. Here are some 

basic rules you should follow: 

• Keep your résumé to one type-written page. Potential externship hosts or employers 

typically will not read more than the first page of your résumé. 

• Use a larger font for your name, address, telephone number and email address. This 

information should be found at the top of your résumé page. 

• Include sections for education, work experience and special skills (such as fluency in 

languages other than English). Be sure to list the training you are gaining in the Program 

as the first item in your “education” section. 

You must submit a clean, original copy of your résumé to your Advisor by email. Do not submit 

your résumé via fax. Your Advisor likely will fax or email a scanned copy of your résumé to 

externship sites, and it is important that the site receives a clean original document. 

CPR for the Healthcare Provider 

Nearly all allied healthcare professionals are required to complete CPR training. The American Heart 

Association’s (AHA) “CPR for the Healthcare Provider” course offers all of the training necessary to 

meet your externship CPR prerequisite. Alternatively, the American Red Cross and other CPR 

programs offer courses that may meet the core curriculum requirements. If you choose to take your 

CPR course from one of these providers, instead of an AHA course, be sure to confirm that the class will 

offer the following components: 

• One-man CPR and two-man CPR for adults, children and infants, using mouth-to-mouth, mouthto-mask 

and bag/valve-mask techniques. 

• Training for Automated External Defibrillator. 

• Handling of obstructed airway in adults, children and infants. 

• Chain of survival training. 

You must provide a copy of your CPR card as proof of completion of the CPR program, in order to be 

eligible for an externship placement. 



62 


Physical Exam/TB Screening 

You are required to have a doctor or other qualified medical professional fill out and sign the 

Physical Examination Form found at the end of this Catalog. Typically, your medical insurance will 

cover the cost of a physical exam. 

You are responsible for scheduling the exam with your doctor or clinic. Before going for your 

physical exam, please check to make sure that there are no state-specific or externship-sitespecific 

tests, immunizations or exams that you need to obtain during your appointment (see 

below). Remember to take the Physical Examination Form to your appointment; it must be signed 

by your doctor or medical practitioner. As part of your physical examination, you will need to 

obtain documentation reflecting current tuberculosis (TB) test results. You can provide either (1) 

the results of a negative TB skin-test taken in the last year or (2), if you have had TB in the past, 

the report of a negative chest X-ray taken in the last two years. Also let your doctor know of any 

state-specific or site-specific tests, immunizations or exams that need to be performed or reflected 

on your Physical Examination Form. Before leaving your appointment, be sure to have the doctor 

or medical practitioner sign the Physical Examination Form. 

You also must sign the Physical Examination Form. Under federal law, we need your permission to 

share your medical information with externship sites. By signing the Form, you give your Advisor and 

other supporting personnel permission to share your medical information during the externship 

placement process. Please submit the signed Physical Examination Form, your TB results and, if any, 

state-specific or site-specific results to your Advisor by email. 

State-Specific & Site-Specific Requirements 

State-Specific 

Some states require that students complete a Hepatitis B vaccine series prior to engaging in 

direct patient care. Students are required to begin the vaccine series prior to submitting 

the Physical Examination Form and must complete the series prior to the externship 

placement. Please check with your Advisor to determine whether this is a requirement in 

your state for your chosen allied healthcare field. 

Because state laws and regulations change frequently, please consult with your Advisor to 

determine whether there are additional state-specific requirements that need to be 

addressed. 

Site-Specific: Drug Testing/Background Check/Immunizations 

Some externship sites require that students undergo drug testing, provide a background 

check and/or obtain immunizations at the student’s expense. 



63 


As noted above, it is your obligation to pre-assess your eligibility to complete the Program, 

including the externship 3 , particularly with respect to these requirements. Before enrolling 

in the Program, if you have criminal convictions or reason to believe you will test positive 

for illegal substances, you should consider that these conditions, if not remedied, 

jeopardize your ability to be placed in an externship. If you have failed to obtain required 

immunizations, your externship will be delayed until you receive the immunizations. If it is 

determined that you are not eligible for an externship because you refuse or fail the drug 

testing, background checks and/or immunization prerequisites of an externship site, you 

will receive only a Modified Certificate upon competing and passing the class portion of the 

Program, and you will not be entitled to a refund for the externship portion of the Program. 

Externship Placement 

Externships are held in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, medical practices, medical 

laboratories, pharmacies and blood banks. The externship hosts are investing the time of their 

employees and the resources of the site in your training. They expect externs to work diligently, 

to behave professionally and to be enthusiastic about the opportunities offered by the site. 

You should start making arrangements to fit your externship into your schedule as soon as 

possible. You may want to save up vacation time, discuss a leave with your employer, arrange for 

childcare and/or secure transportation. (You may be required to travel up to 60 miles in one 

direction from the location where your classes were held to an externship site.) 

Placement Process 

Your Advisor is responsible for matching students to available externships. You are not the only 

student for which your Advisor is arranging an externship placement. Your Advisor will consider 

your availability, grades, attendance records and the site location in trying to match the needs of 

the externship site with those of the eligible students for which he/she is responsible. The 

number of available externships in a particular geographical area and allied healthcare field can 

fluctuate and may be unpredictable. Accordingly, it is very important that you become eligible as 

soon as possible and that you make every effort to secure the externship placement found by your 

Advisor. 

Communication Policy 

Your Advisor arranges placements for many students at any given time. Accordingly, you must: 

• Be available by telephone and email and check for messages frequently. 

3 Similarly, a criminal record or drug use may make you ineligible for a license to practice your 

chosen field. It is your responsibility to pre-assess whether you have any personal conditions that 

would prohibit your ability to qualify to practice in the state in which you plan to work. 



64 


• Respond by telephone or email to any communication from your Advisor within two (2) 

business days. If you do not respond to your Advisor within the two business days allowed, 

you will lose the externship opportunity and will be placed at the end of the externship 

waiting list, which can put you at risk of not completing the Program due to timing 

restraints for externship placements and externship completion. 

• If you do not respond to a communication from your Advisor within a total of 10 calendar 

days following an initial telephone call or email from your Advisor, the following will occur: 

o You will no longer be eligible for an externship placement. 

o You will be issued a Modified Certificate, presuming that you have successfully 

completed the class portion of the Program. 

o You will not be entitled to a refund of the externship fee. 

Availability 

You must provide your Advisor with your availability in order to be eligible for an externship 

placement. If your availability changes, you must contact your Advisor immediately. If you 

decline an externship placement because your availability has changed and you have failed to 

notify your Advisor of the change, you will need to locate your own externship. 

Most externship sites require externs to be available for the same work hours as their employees. 

Preceptors believe that an externship is most successful when the extern can build upon his/her 

experiences from one day to the next. Accordingly, you should plan to be available for 

consecutive, full time days. Typically, this means that you need to be available between 8:00 a.m. 

and 5:00 p.m. five (5) days a week, Monday through Friday. The start and end times and the days 

of the week may vary by Program and/or externship site. Depending on your Program, you will 

be required to be available 30 to 40 hours per week for each week of your externship. Please refer 

to your Program Supplement for the specific availability requirements of your Program. 

Please note: All externships must be completed within twelve (12) months of the last day of the 

class portion of the Program. If you are currently employed or if you will be continuing your 

education, you need to plan to have time off for your externship. You are required to notify your 

Advisor well in advance of the end of the class portion of the Program if you anticipate that your 

externship placement availability will be limited to specific vacation or school break weeks. 

Although your advisor, with sufficient notice, will try to accommodate your work or school 

schedule, the Program cannot guarantee that a placement can be located during a limited vacation 

or school break window. 

Timing of Externship Placement 

Your Advisor will begin working on your placement once you are Fully Eligible (see the 

“Eligibility” section of this Catalog). Your Advisor adheres to the following timing guidelines for 

externship placements: 



65 


• An eligible student who is available for an externship will be placed within ninety (90) days 

after the last date of the class portion of the Program. 

• All externships must be completed within twelve (12) months of the last day of the class 

portion of the Program. 

Location 

Your Advisor will locate an externship within sixty (60) miles of the location where your classes 

were held. Neither your Advisor nor anyone else connected with your Program can guarantee a 

specific location for your externship. Students are responsible for arranging transportation to and 

from their externship sites. 

Externship Interview 

Some externship sites like to interview students prior to the start of the externship. During the 

interview, you might be asked questions about experiences listed on your résumé, topics covered 

during the class portion of the Program, your reasons for pursuing a career in your chosen allied 

health field or your knowledge about the work done by the externship site. To prepare for the 

interview, it is recommended that you: 

• Review your résumé and the Program outline. 

• Go online and research the externship site and its business online. 

• Write out a few questions you may want to ask the interviewer about the experiences you 

may have during the externship. 

• Participate in the monthly online training concerning interview techniques and career 

planning, provided by your advisor. 

It is important to dress appropriately for the interview. Your attire should indicate that you are a 

career-minded candidate who is ready to enter the professional workplace. Men should wear 

business suits or a jacket and tie with khakis or other, non-denim slacks. Women should wear 

jackets with skirts or pants, suits or dresses. Long hair should be tied back. Take your Externship 

Resource Booklet (the “Booklet”), a small notepad and a pen to the interview – this demonstrates 

to the interviewer that you are serious about the position that the site is offering. Show 

enthusiasm for the opportunity to learn more and gain experience in your chosen field. During the 

interview, confirm your start date, work hours and the name of your Preceptor. 

Being a Successful Extern 

Treat the externship like a job or an extended interview: 

• Be respectful and helpful at all times. Remember that you are a guest at the facility. 

• Show up on time. Be dependable and punctual. 

• Wear your uniform and name badge at all times. Review the dress code. 



66 


• Take your Booklet with you each day. Anytime you either observe or perform a skill, ask 

your Preceptor to sign off on the skill on your Booklet’s skills checklist. Ask your 

Preceptor to sign off on your hours each day. Do not leave your Booklet at the site. 

• When you are nearing the completion of the required hours, ask your Preceptor to fill out 

the evaluation form at the end of your Booklet. 

• Remember that students are often judged more strictly than employees. If you see 

employees wasting time or dressed casually, do not follow their lead. Instead, ask if there 

is anything you can do to help, such as cleaning or filing, when the work site is slow. 

• Students can be hired by their externship site or may find a job by word of mouth from a 

Preceptor who felt the student did an exceptional job. This is your chance to make a good 

impression on your fellow professionals. Ask for a letter of recommendation upon 

completion of the externship. 

Externship Rules of Conduct 

Externship host sites have the right to dismiss students for any reason without explanation. The 

most common reasons for dismissal are not being on time, not showing up on scheduled days, 

showing a lack of initiative or failing to follow procedures after repeated instructions. Remember 

that you are a professional and your behavior should reflect this. 

If you experience difficulty at your externship, contact your Advisor immediately. Your Advisor 

will investigate the issue and request an evaluation of your performance. Your Advisor will 

counsel you as to whether or not you should continue at the externship site. If your advisor 

recommends that you do not, he/she will determine your eligibility for placement at another 

externship site. Depending on the circumstances, your Advisor may determine that you are 

ineligible for a placement, in which case you will qualify only for a Modified Certificate and will not 

be entitled to a refund for the externship portion of the Program. 

The Externship Rules of Conduct include all of the general Rules of Conduct for the Program, in 

addition to the following: 

Confidentiality: You are required to maintain confidentiality of patient information in 

accordance with state and federal law. No student will have access to or have the right to 

review any medical record, except where necessary in the regular course of the externship. 

It is forbidden, except as permitted by law, for students to discuss, transmit, copy or 

disclose, in any form, any patient information obtained at or during the externship. Do not 

open or read patient files or profiles for which you are not directly responsible. Do not 

discuss patients with anyone except for appropriate staff at the externship site. A breach of 

your confidentiality obligations is grounds for dismissal from both the externship and the 

Program. 

Attendance: You must give advance notice to your Advisor and your Preceptor for any 

absence or late arrival. Unapproved absences or late arrivals are unprofessional and could 



67 


lead to your dismissal from the externship. If you are dismissed from the externship, your 

Advisor will determine whether you are eligible to continue the Program. 

Professional Conduct: Students can be dismissed for unprofessional conduct, including 

displaying a poor attitude or developing inappropriate relationships with coworkers or 

supervisors. You must conduct yourself in a manner consistent with the Program’s Rules of 

Conduct at all times. Additionally, any rules or policies that are applicable to the employees 

of the externship site are applicable to you as an extern. If you are asked to leave an 

externship due to unprofessional conduct grounds, you may be dismissed from the 

Program. 

Externship-Based Grounds for Dismissal from the Program 

In addition to the rules outlined in the “General Grounds for Dismissal & Dismissal Procedure” 

section of this Catalog, your conduct with respect to the externship can lead to a dismissal. 

Grounds for dismissal include the following: 

• Inability to proceed with an externship because of a failed background check or drug test. 

• Failure to complete an externship within twelve (12) months of the last day of class. 

• Failure to respond to communications from your Advisor within ten business days after the 

initial telephone call or email from your Advisor. 

• Opting out of an externship. 

• Violation of the Externship Rules of Conduct. 

• An unsatisfactory evaluation from the Preceptor. 

• Dismissal from an externship, resulting in a determination by your advisor that you are not 

eligible to continue with the Program. 

The dismissal procedures are described in the “General Grounds for Dismissal & Dismissal 

Procedure” section of this Catalog. 

On Hold Status 

You may put your externship On Hold if you become unavailable due to a medical necessity or 

other extraordinary circumstance approved by your Advisor and your Preceptor. You must 

contact your Advisor and your Preceptor as soon as possible to advise them of the situation. You 

must provide your Advisor with documentation from a physician stating your inability to pursue 

the externship at that time or with other documentary evidence supporting your claim of 

extraordinary circumstances. The documentation must include the timeframe when you can be 

expected to become available for your externship again. You are required to complete your 

externship within 12 month of the last day of class. This is a matter of public safety. If your 

situation will not allow you to complete your externship within the required timeframe, you may 

be required to retrain or take refresher training for your chosen healthcare field. 



68 


Please be aware that it is within the externship site’s complete discretion to determine whether to 

continue the externship when you are medically able to return or the extraordinary circumstance 

has been resolved. If the externship site concludes that it cannot continue the externship and your 

On Hold status was approved, your Advisor will assist you in locating a new externship placement. 

Please note that the skills and hours obtained at the original externship site might not count 

toward your externship requirement. You will need to contact your Advisor for a determination 

on this issue. 

Externship Fee Refund Policy 

If you have satisfactorily completed the class portion of the Program but are unable to complete an 

externship, you may be entitled to a refund not to exceed $150. A refund of the externship fee is 

available only if you meet all of the following conditions: 

• You met the requirements to be Fully Eligible for an externship, including completing the 

prerequisites within the required timeframe. 

• Your workplace communication skills were deemed to be satisfactory no later than four 

month before the close of the externship period (12 months from the date of the last class). 

Remember that if you choose to go forward with the Program despite the advice of your 

Advisor to delay and obtain remedial English or communications skill training, you are 

responsible for bringing your workplace communication skills to a satisfactory level (to be 

determined by your Instructor and Advisor) before you can be considered for externship 

placement. 

• You were not dismissed from the Program, either pursuant to the General Grounds for 

Dismissal or the Externship-Based Grounds for Dismissal. 

• Your Advisor was unable to find you an externship placement with six (6) months of the 

last day of class. 

To receive a refund of the externship fee, you must submit a written request to your Advisor by 

email. 

Externship Completion & Final Evaluation 

The externship is graded on a pass/fail basis. The grade is based on the evaluation given by the 

Preceptor and, where necessary, information gathered from the Preceptor through informal 

interviews. An “unsatisfactory” evaluation will result in a failing grade and you will be dismissed 

from the Program. You only will receive a Modified Certificate and you will not be eligible for a 

refund of the externship fee. 

You should ask the Preceptor to complete the evaluation, provided in your Booklet, on or before 

the last day of your externship. Make a copy of the Booklet for yourself and mail the original to 

your Advisor. This step will trigger the issuance of your Certificate. 



69

NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED AT OUR 

INSTITUTION 

The transferability of credits you earn at Boston Reed is at the complete discretion of any 

institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the Certificate you earn in any of our 

programs is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If 

the Certificate that you earn at this institution is not accepted at the institution to which you seek 

to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For 

this reason you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your 

educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer 

after attending Boston Reed, in order to determine if your Certificate will transfer. We have not 

entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other institution. We do not grant 

credit for experiential learning. (Revised 11/8/12) 

Equal Opportunity Employer 

Boston Reed is an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to protecting the rights and 

dignity of every individual we recruit and hire. An employee’s or applicant’s membership in a 

protected class – such as veteran status; uniform service member status; race; color; religion; 

creed; gender/sex; gender identity; marital status; sexual orientation; pregnancy; national origin; 

age; physical or mental disability; genetic information; citizenship status or any other class 

protected under local, state or federal law – plays no role in the company’s hiring or employment 

decisions. Every employee has the opportunity to succeed at Boston Reed, and we will not tolerate 

illegal discrimination of any kind. 

Academic Freedom Policy 

Boston Reed supports and protects academic freedom for each Instructor it employs or otherwise 

utilizes in its educational programs. Academic freedom is guaranteed to all Instructors acting 

within the scope of their employment. Instructors are entitled to freedom in research and in the 

publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of their other academic duties; but 

research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the 

institution. 

Instructors are entitled to freedom in discussing their fields of expertise with their students, but 

they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter that has no 

relation to the subject of the Program being taught. 



70 


Boston Reed recognizes that when Instructors speak and write on their own time, and as private 

individuals outside of their employment, they are absolutely free from institutional censorship or 

from any form of retaliation (such as discipline or dismissal) that affects their employment status. 

When Instructors communicate as private individuals, however, they should endeavor to be 

accurate, exercise appropriate restraint, show respect for the opinions of others, and make every 

effort to indicate that they are not speaking for Boston Reed.

Acknowledgements 

I understand and acknowledge that as part of my Training Program, I will be required to learn skills 

necessary for practice in the field. I further understand and acknowledge that the laws and regulations of 

the State in which I plan to practice the allied healthcare field I have chosen may require that certain 

skills be performed successfully a minimum number of times on human subjects before I can obtain a 

Certificate for completing the Training Program, be permitted to sit for a credentialing exam and/or be 

licensed by the State and that, in order to meet this minimum, Instructor-led practice is required. 



_________________ 

I understand and acknowledge that prior to any skills practice, I and my fellow students will receive 

instruction from the Instructor(s) regarding the procedures and safeguards relevant to the skills to be 

practiced, including information on safety and the potential dangers inherent in such procedures, will be 

given the opportunity to ask questions and receive explanation of any point that is unclear and that it is 

my responsibility to raise such questions, if any.

AGREEMENT 

__________________ 

It is my desire to participate in the allied heathcare training Program reflected in my Enrollment 

Agreement and offered by Boston Reed (along with its officers, trustees, agents, employees, volunteers, 

parent companies, subsidiary companies and affiliated companies, collectively referred to as the 


74

“School”) (the “Training Program”). As a precondition to participating in the Training Program, I have 

read the benefits and risks listed herein, initialed the above acknowledgements, read the following 

Agreement and agree to its terms. 

1. Assumption of Risk. I understand that participating in the Training Program entails risks of physical 

injury, including but not limited to, the risks described herein. I have been given a chance to ask 

questions concerning these risks and this Agreement, and all such questions have been answered to 

my satisfaction. Having read this form, I am fully aware of the risks and hazards associated with the 

Training Program, and herby voluntarily elect to participate in the Training Program. I voluntarily 

assume full responsibility for any risk of loss, damage or personal injury, including death, which may 

be sustained by me as a result of participating in the Training Program. 

2. Liability Release. In consideration for the School’s allowing me to participate in the Training 

Program, I agree I will not sue the School and I release the School from any and all liabilities, claims, 

demands, actions, causes of action, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever arising out of any 

loss, damage or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me, arising from the Training 

Program or while upon the premises where the Training Program is being conducted. 

3. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the School from and against any loss, 

liability, damage or costs, including court costs and attorneys; fees, that the School may incur arising 

from my involvement in the Training Program, except those claims arising from the gross negligence 

or willful misconduct of the School. 

4. Physical Fitness. I warrant that I am physically fit and in the good physical health that will allow me 

to participate fully in the Training Program, including as a human subject for skills practiced by my 

fellow students, as described above. I understand that the School has not made, nor will it make, any 

investigation into my physical fitness or ability to participate in the Training Program or that of my 

fellow students, and the School is relying on my warrant of my physical condition. I will maintain 

comprehensive medical insurance that covers me for accidents and illnesses while I am participating 

in the Training Program. I assume full responsibility for payment of medical expenses not covered by 

my insurance incurred as a result of my participation in the Training Program. 

5. Medical Treatment Authorization. I grant the School permission to authorize emergency medical 

treatment, as it deems appropriate, and agree that such action by the School shall be subject to the 

terms of this Agreement. I understand and agree that the School assumes no responsibility for any 

injury or damage that might arise out of or in connection with such authorized emergency medical 

treatment. 

6. Intent. It is my express intent that this Agreement shall bind my spouse, if any, members of my family, 

estate, heirs, administrators, assigns, and personal representatives. I agree that this Agreement and 

any claim arising from my participation in the Training Program shall be construed in accordance

Napa County, California shall be the forum for any lawsuits arising from this Agreement. The terms of 

this Agreement shall be severable, such that if a court of competent jurisdiction holds any term to be 

illegal or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining portions shall not be affected thereby. 

In signing this Agreement, I acknowledge that I have read this document carefully and I understand it, 

and I agree to be bound by its terms. I further acknowledge that I sign this Agreement voluntarily, and

site required proof of immunization, your placement may be delayed if you do not have the 

immunizations or, even if you have had the immunizations, if you do not have proof of them 

readily available. It is your decision as to whether you should obtain the immunization in 

advance. Please note that obtaining the immunization in advance does not guarantee placement in 

any particular site. 

When your doctor or nurse practitioner completes this form, please ask him/her to attach the lab 

results.

REFUND POLICY 

STUDENT’S RIGHT TO CANCEL 

You have the right to cancel your Enrollment Agreement for a program, without 

any penalty or obligation, by submitting the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form 

during the “Cancellation Period.” 

CANCELLATION MUST BE IN WRITING. Cancellation only occurs when you provide 

a written notice of cancellation using the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form available 

at https://secure.bostonreedcollege.com/myaccount/programresources.cfm and 

provided in the Catalog. 

Non-Refundable Fees. The following fees are non-refundable: 

• Registration fee of $200-$250 as outlined in this agreement; 

• Financing Vendor’s processing fee, if applicable; and 

• Materials fee, if the materials are not timely returned in their original, 

shrink-wrapped condition (please see the Materials Return Policy). 

1. Cancellation & Refunds of Classroom-Based & Instructor-Led Online 

Programs. The Cancellation Period for classroom-based or instructor-led 

online programs is any time through the first class session or the seventh 

day after enrollment, whichever is later. 

A timely cancellation entitles you to a full refund of any fees paid less then 

applicable Non-Refundable Fees. 

You must exercise your right to cancel or withdraw by: _________________ 

The Cancellation/Withdrawal Form can be submitted by email to your 

Student Advisor or by fax to 888.600.1536 on or before 11:59 p.m. (PST) 

on the date of the first class session or the seventh day after enrollment, 

whichever is later. The date of submission will be treated as the 

Cancellation Date. 

2. Withdrawal & Refunds of Classroom-Based & Instructor-Led Online 

Programs. Even after the Cancellation Period has ended, you have a right 

to withdraw from the program. A withdrawing student that has completed 

sixty (60) percent or less of the class portion of the Program has the right to 

receive a pro-rata refund of tuition payments and administrative fees paid, 

excluding the applicable Non-Refundable Fees, for the class portion of the 

Program that the student did not complete. The Pro-Rata Refund is 

calculated by 

5. Subtracting from the total amount paid the non-refundable fees to 

determine the Maximum Refund Amount; 

6. Dividing the number of sessions left in the Program by the total 

number of sessions scheduled to calculate the Pro-Rata Fraction; and 

• If the Pro-Rata Fraction is .40 or greater, multiplying the Maximum 

Refundable Amount by the Pro-Rata Fraction to calculate the Pro- 

Rata Refund. 

You can withdraw from the Program by submitting the Cancellation/ 

Withdrawal Form by email to your Student Advisor or by fax to (888)600- 

1536. The submission date will be treated as your Withdrawal Date for 

the purpose of determining the amount of the refund. If you are 

dismissed for failing to abide by the Boston Reed Student Policies (see the 

General Grounds for Dismissal section of the Catalog), your last date of 

recorded attendance shall be treated as your Withdrawal Date. 

3. Refund Policy for Self-Paced Online Courses. The first lesson and any 

related materials for all Boston Reed self-paced online courses are available 

through Boston Reed’s website. Students who are interested in taking a 

Boston Reed self-paced online course are encouraged to review the first 

lesson before enrolling in the course. After you have enrolled in the course 

and have made payment in full, Boston Reed will make the balance of the 

course materials available to you. Once you have received access to the full 

course, you will not be entitled to a refund. 

4. Materials Return. You can obtain a refund of the materials fee if the 

materials are timely returned in their original shrink-wrapped condition, 

pursuant to the Materials Return Policy found in the Catalog. 

5. Refund Timing. Refunds are sent to students within 45 days of the 

Cancellation or Withdrawal Date or, in the case of a self-paced online 

program, the receipt of returned materials. Refunds for material fees may 

be issued separately from other refunds. 

6. Externship Fee Refund. Under certain conditions, you may be entitled to a 

refund of the Externship Fee, if any, in an amount not to exceed $150. You 

must satisfactorily complete the class portion of the Program, meet all your 

externship placement obligations and the Student Advisor must be unable 

to place you in an externship within the required timeframe. 

7. Cancelled Program. If the Program is canceled in its entirety for any 

reason, you are entitled to a full refund of all fees, as long as the materials 

are returned in their original shrink-wrapped condition. Upon request, 

Boston Reed will provide a UPS shipping label for the return of the 

materials. We will issue the refund within 45 business days. 

A more detailed description of each of the policies listed above can be found 

in the Catalog.

NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS 

EARNED AT OUR INSTITUTION 

The transferability of credits you earn at Boston Reed is at the complete 

discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of 

the certificate you earn in any of our programs is also at the complete 

discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the 

certificate that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution 

to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of 

your coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain 

that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. This 

may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after 

attending Boston Reed to determine if your certificate will transfer. We have 

not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other 

institution. We do not grant credit for experiential learning. (Rev.11/8/12.) 

TUITION TRANSFER 

Tuition is not transferable to other people. Boston Reed will allow a 

Qualified Student to apply tuition and program expense fee payments that 

had been made towards a Program to another, upcoming Program. To be a 

Qualified Student, all of the following conditions must be met: 

• The student submits a Cancellation/Withdrawal Form within 30 

days of the first class date; 

• The student is owed a refund or is current on all financial 

obligations; 

• The student selects a Program, either in the same allied health 

field or another, that is scheduled to start within the next six 

months; 

• The student’s grades to date meet the minimum requirement for 

the Program; 

• The student has abided by the attendance policy 

• The Advisor approves the transfer after a meeting with the 

student in which the student explains (a) the reasons why he/she 

needs to discontinue the initial Program and (b) why he/she 

believes that he/she will be able to successfully complete the 

newly selected program; 

• The student agrees to pay a $250.00 processing fee, due at the 

time of transfer; 

• The student agrees that if the materials needed for the new 

Program are different than those used in the initial Program, 

he/she will purchase the new materials at a cost of $150, due at 

the time of transfer; and 

• The student executes a new Enrollment Agreement and financing 

agreement, if applicable. 

FINANCIAL AID 

Although Boston Reed does not participate in federal and state financial aid 

programs, it is required to provide the following information: If you have 

received federal financial aid funds, you are entitled to a refund of monies 

paid other than those paid from the federal financial aid funds. If you take 

federal or state financial aid loans, you are responsible for repaying the loan 

amount, plus and interest and fees, less the amount of a refund, if any. If 

you are eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government and 

you default on the loan, both of the following may occur: the federal or state 

government or loan guarantee agency may take action against you, including 

applying any income tax refund to which you are entitled to reduce the 

balance owed on the loan; and you may not be eligible for any other federal 

student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance 

until the loan is repaid. 

LOANS 

If you take third party loans to finance your education, you and you alone are 

responsible for repaying those loan amount, plus any interest and fees to 

your lenders. Refunds, if any, may be paid directly to your lenders where 

Boston Reed is required to do so by law or agreement. Even if a separate 

party or parties is financing your education, you and you alone are directly 

responsible for all payments and monies owed to Boston Reed listed on this 

Agreement. 

QUESTIONS & COMPLAINTS 

Any questions students may have about Enrollment Agreement that have not 

been satisfactorily answered by the institution may be directed to the Bureau 

for Private Postsecondary Education at the following: 

Physical address: 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95833 

Mailing address: P.O. Box 980818, West Sacramento, CA 95798-0818 

Phone number: 916.431.6959 

Toll Free: 888.370.7589

institution with Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education by calling 

888.370.7589 or by completing a complaint form, which can be obtained on 

the bureau’s internet website, www.bppe.ca.gov. 

If a Qualified Student would have been entitled to a refund, the refund 

amount will be applied to the new Program. If the total cost of the new 

Program is less than the total cost of the initial Program, the student will be 

entitled to a refund of the difference. The refund will be issued pursuant to 

the “Refund Timing” policy described above. 

If a Qualified Student had financed the initial Program through the Financing 

Vendor, payments made toward tuition and program expense fees as of the 

Cancellation or Withdrawal date will be applied toward the cost of the new 

Program. The initial financing agreement will be cancelled. If the student 

wishes to finance the remainder of the cost of the new Program through the 

Financing Vendor, he/she will need to reapply and will need to pay the 

Vendor’s non-refundable processing fee again.
