Assist To Succeed Dental Assisting School operates as an educational institution and believes that it is imperative to health and safety that students understand the procedures, methods, and materials they will use in assisting a professional in the treatment of others. To that end ATS requires a very high level of excellence as outlined above. Students are not only required to perform in order to receive school endorsement but are expected to do so honestly. Students who are caught in any form of dishonest behavior (cheating, stealing from the school, stealing from other students or other affiliates of the school) will be dismissed from ATS as a student. Students suspected of dishonest behavior will be brought before the administration (course directors) at a scheduled time and the case reviewed. It will be the sole discretion of the administrators to determine the course of action, if any, that will be taken based on the solidity and dependability of the evidence presented by the student and the school staff. Individuals damaged will be responsible for legal prosecution of the accused.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in the professional and polite manner reasonably expected of a dental assistant. Interference with other student learning will not be tolerated and may result in expulsion.
Examinations, quizzes and homework assignments are designed for the learning and education of the student. All work is expected to be completed solely by the student unless specifically indicated otherwise by the instructors assigning each learning activity.
