Should a student be required to schedule his/her own rotations, the student must provide proof, from the educational institution, of good academic standing.

3) Students must wear the appropriate uniform and appear cleanly groomed at all times. This uniform consists of: black or blue pants, white collared shirt, black belt, black shoes, and student identification badge. This uniform will be substituted for the clinical uniform for the educational institution in which the student is enrolled.
