Mid-year and final examinations are administered by the university. The Professional Code of Ethics of the ARRT is respected at all times. Failure to comply with the Professional Code of Ethics is reason for dismissal.
Should a student’s participation, for whatever reason, appear unsatisfactory at any time during the twelve-month period, he or she may be advised to resign from the program at the request of the Advisory Committee.
