SERVICES FOR ENROLLED AND PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

               Administrative Services
               The college provides numerous administrative services for students, former students, graduates and
               alumni members. Administrative staff strives to provide those services and requests as quickly as
               possible. It is not possible to provide services on demand. The staff processes requests submitted by use
               of the administrative services request form, obtained in the Student Services Office. Some requests
               require a fee payment, which must be paid prior to service being fulfilled. Staff is available to provide
               additional information and assistance as needed.


               Breaks and Meal Times
               Breaks and meal times are scheduled during learning activities. A classroom break is typically ten
               minutes after each fifty minutes of classroom instruction and a mealtime break is typically forty-five
               minutes. Classroom breaks and meal times are reflected on the respective course calendar. Clinical breaks
               are assigned by the clinical instructor, Coordinator, Program Director, or preceptor and are based on
               established policies of the clinical agency or patient care assignments.

               Campus Communication
               Telephones are provided in the BHCLR building for student use. There is no charge.  Emergency
               messages are relayed directly to the student if possible. Additionally, bulletin boards are maintained for
               communication.  Official communications to applicants and students are through the U.S. Mail system
               and/or email.

               Information related to BHCLR class or campus activities is posted on designated bulletin boards. No
               signs or posters are permitted on painted, glass or wooden surfaces.  The Coordinator of Campus and
               Financial Services or designee must approve anything other than official school postings on the BHCLR
               campus, including the main lobby. School administration reserves the right to remove any communication
               or posting.

               New and revised policies are distributed via electronic mail notification. This distribution serves as
               official notification until new policies are published in the next printing of the official school document(s)
               and/or publications.

               Counseling Services
               Academic, personal, and spiritual counseling are available to all enrolled students at BHCLR.
               Appointments are available by contacting the BHCLR Academic & Spiritual Counselor at 501-202-7721.
               Hospital chaplains, faculty, and administration serve as additional resources for students. Academic
               advising is provided by school faculty and Program Directors/Coordinators. The counseling relationship
               and information resulting from conversations are confidential. When the mental or physical health of a
               student or a patient is at risk or the reputation of BHCLR or BH is at stake, appropriate authorities and
               professionals shall be contacted.

               The counseling philosophy, purpose, expected outcomes, student satisfaction, and resources follow.

               Philosophy - Counseling is founded on the philosophy of human relationships. This philosophy includes
               the belief that every individual has the potential capacity for growth and development; that observed human
               behavior may stem from human needs, experiences or conflicts; that human conduct can be motivated and
               directed through understanding, acceptance, and respect; that each person has a right to be heard without
               preconceived value judgments; and that each person has the right to self-determination.
