Daoist Traditions College's programs include both hand-on and online learning, giving students a well-rounded education. Distance Education Policies The programs at Daoist Traditions combine in-person learning with online courses. However, our programs are NOT 100% online and all programs require in-person attendance. The number of in-person vs. online courses varies from program to program. Please refer to the individual program pages or our academic catalog for details. Programs that offer online courses must follow specific rules and regulations for distance education, including Professional Licensure Disclosures. Professional Licensure Disclosures Daoist Traditions offers programs that lead to professional licensure or certification outside the state of North Carolina. Licensure requirements vary by state – and not all states license the practice of acupuncture or Chinese medicine. Most states require the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) examination and/or certification for licensing. Some states have additional requirements such as professional examinations, background checks, years of experience, fingerprinting requirements, etc. Completion of a DT program does not guarantee license or certification to practice, nor does the college or any of its representatives guarantee employment, license, or certification to practice upon completion of the programs. Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts is an approved institution under the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement – North Carolina (SARA-NC) so that we can efficiently meet our student’s needs. This agreement establishes comparable national standards for the interstate offering of post-secondary distance education courses and programs across state lines. The College is authorized to offer distance education courses and/or programs to any other SARA state member. *California is not a SARA member. Applicants residing in California should speak with the admissions director about their timeline for relocation. One main objective of the agreement is to make it easier for North Carolina colleges and universities to provide online and distance education options to students in other states. It also provides basic protections for students and requires us to provide current and prospective students with contact information for filing complaints with the college, our accrediting agency, and with state agencies that handle complaints in the student’s state of residence. Students should check their state’s licensure requirements and contact the appropriate licensing agency to seek information and additional guidance before beginning an academic program. Contact information for the acupuncture licensing agency in each state can be found here . The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) is one resource for state licensing agency information.

Complete your Loan Exit Counseling Policy on Determination of Student Location In order to comply with federal regulations 34 CFR 668.43, Daoist Traditions has adopted the following policies and procedures to determine the location of students enrolled in all programs and the subsequent requirement to notify students about educational preparation for certification/licensure in the state where the student is located. Institutions must determine each student’s location (i.e., state) at the time of the student’s initial enrollment and upon formal receipt from the student of information about a change in the student’s location. Institutions must have documented process/procedures on how the location is determined; have a documented change-of-address process for all students; and consistently apply policies and procedures regarding student location to all students, including students enrolled in in-person programs. In addition, institutions must ensure they are authorized to provide distance education in the state/territory where each student is located. For the purposes of this policy, these definitions apply: Initial enrollment – the time at which a student commences coursework, as opposed to the time of a student’s initial application to or when a student accepts admission into their program of study. Current address – where a student currently lives or will live and/or frequently stay during the time they will be taking classes for the upcoming term. A student’s legal state of residence is not a factor in determining physical location for these purposes. Daoist Traditions will make an official determination regarding the state in which a student is located at the time of application, at initial enrollment, and at the start of each semester. This policy applies to all students enrolled in all for-credit classes (in-person, hybrid, and online) in all programs. Note: Non-matriculated/guest students are excluded from the student location reporting requirement. The college will use the most current address provided by the student as the state in which the student is located at the following intervals: 1) During the admissions process. Applicants are informed about state licensure considerations based on information provided on the application. 2) At initial enrollment (the time at which a student commences coursework). New incoming students reaffirm their address at registration and at New Student Orientation. 3) Continuing students (all programs) reaffirm all their contact information and address prior to the start of each subsequent term enrolled. 4) Students can update their location information at any time by completing the update form located in the Canvas learning management system and returning it to the Registrar Assistant. A student-initiated update is effective-dated with the date the change is recorded in the student information system (GradPro). Relocation During Enrollment in a Program Licensing and authorization requirements can vary by state therefore any relocation by prospective and current students can impact their ability to continue the program, meet the eligibility requirements of that state, and/or receive financial aid funding. Any student who 1) changes location during the program, including attending online class sessions from another state, or 2) is considering relocating or obtaining licensure in a different state, should contact the financial aid office to verify authorization and licensure eligibility requirements. Contact: FFAadministrator@daoisttraditions.edu . Data, Reporting, and Individual/Direct Disclosures Information about location data will be made available by the Registrar’s Office at the beginning of each fall and spring term. Information will also be shared with the appropriate offices including Admissions and Student Services. Per these federal regulations, individual/direct disclosures will be made to students enrolled in programs that are designed to meet educational requirements for a specific licensure or certification for employment. When the College is notified that a prospective or current student’s location has changed to a State where the College does not meet the state educational requirements for licensure/certification OR where the College has not made a determination regarding whether the program’s curriculum meet the State educational requirements for licensure/certification. Currently enrolled students in programs that are designed to lead to certification/licensure will be notified directly within 14 calendar days when the college becomes aware that the student’s location has changed to another state. New incoming students in these programs will be notified directly prior to their initial enrollment (start of classes) when the admissions office is notified that their location has changed to another state. Direct disclosures will include: 1) disclosure regarding the state where they are located; 2) the name of the program in which they are enrolled/planning to enroll; 3) contact information for the program dean; 4) contact information for the state licensing agency where they are located. Students must verify via email that they have received the direct disclosure. Note: The Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DAHM) Professional Track is not designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for employment. Students enrolled in the DAHM Professional Track must have completed prior master’s level education in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Eligibility for state licensure and national certification is based on prior master’s level education and other criteria outside of the DAHM Professional Track program. Students in this program do not receive direct disclosures about licensing requirements in different states if/when they change location during their enrollment.
