STUDENT
REPRESENTATIVES
Each class votes in two
students to represent the class. The main purpose of this is to allow
students to exercise their voice in a matter pertaining to any aspect of
life at the SSC, policies and procedures, ethics, professionalism and
behaviour. The Student Representatives act as liaisons between the
student body and the SSC Acupuncture Institute administration and
faculty.
We encourage and support communication
among students, faculty, and administration. Regular meetings are held
each term as well as when particular issues arise. The student
representative remains neutral and objective when dealing with student
concerns. They also help to organize school events and end of term/year
parties.
REFERRAL SERVICES
The SSC Acupuncture Institute provides a referral service to our
graduates. In addition, the SSC receives many calls from around
the country from individuals seeking, referrals to shiatsu and
acupuncture therapists. Our graduate registry, in electronic form
on the Internet, allows easy and quick referrals. Our graduate
database is continually updated.
Student Lounge/Tea room
Near each classroom a
student lounge/tearoom is available for students to have lunch and other
refreshments. A refrigerator,
microwave oven and other conveniences are available for those who wish to bring
their lunch or enjoy a quiet cup of tea or coffee.
