Licensure, approvals & accreditation

We will clearly communicate program admission requirements and evaluate applicants using published criteria relevant to their readiness and ability to meet program expectations. Admissions decisions will be based on qualifications and consistently applied requirements, without illegal preferences.

We will explain required prerequisites, application steps, and selection criteria so prospective students can understand how decisions are made.

We will protect opportunities for students and faculty to ask questions, examine evidence, and discuss differing viewpoints respectfully. Students should be able to participate in academic discussions without harassment or intimidation.

Our conduct policies will distinguish respectful expression and disagreement from behavior that disrupts instruction, threatens safety, or prevents others from accessing educational services. We will communicate how students and employees can raise concerns and seek review.

We will encourage students to evaluate evidence, consider relevant perspectives, and exercise independent professional judgment. Instruction will connect open inquiry with the academic standards, ethical responsibilities, and practical competencies of healthcare education.

We will evaluate faculty and staff candidates using qualifications relevant to their responsibilities, including subject knowledge, professional experience, teaching ability, and ethical conduct. We will support respectful academic disagreement and consideration of differing viewpoints.

We will provide prospective students with clear information about tuition, required fees, additional program expenses, payment arrangements, and refund terms before they make an enrollment commitment. Where financing is offered, we will explain the associated terms and repayment responsibilities.

We will review institutional spending with attention to educational value and student affordability. We will monitor program completion and, where applicable, licensure examination results and employment outcomes. When reporting results, we will identify the reporting period, population measured, and relevant limitations so students can interpret the information accurately.

We will maintain academic standards that reflect demonstrated learning and professional readiness. Grades will represent student achievement against stated requirements. We reject grade inflation and the awarding of credit for work or competencies a student has not demonstrated.

We will communicate when artificial intelligence tools are permitted, restricted, or prohibited. Students remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of submitted work. Assessments will require students to demonstrate their own knowledge, reasoning, and practical skills, including through direct observation or supervised assessment where appropriate.

We will prioritize preparing American students to contribute to Florida’s healthcare workforce and serve the communities that depend on it. Program planning will consider workforce needs, professional expectations, and the preparation students need to enter their chosen fields.

Our instruction will emphasize ethical conduct, accountability, responsible citizenship, and service to others. We will review these commitments alongside our institutional policies and practices to ensure that our public statement reflects the education and support we provide.
