Advanced Sound Therapy Certificate Program – ONLINE
This program is designed to help you become a professional sound therapist.  It covers how to do intake on a client, and how to use sound for a wide range of physical, mental and emotional issues.  It is also helpful for adding sound therapy to a current professional practice.

Recording Arts and Technology Certificate Program – ONLINE
This program is completely separate from the Sound Healing classes. We teach how to do professional recording, mixing, and production with ProTools recording software so you can work as professional recording engineer, mixer, producer and/or create your own projects..  We teach how to make your music (or others) affect people in a deep and profound way — physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually — in order to create music that is more effective and successful.   The main instructor, David Gibson, has written the two #1 selling books in Audio, “The Art of Mixing,” and “The Art of Producing,” and has also written the #1 selling in the field of Sound Healing, “The Complete Guide to Sound Healing.”  There is no one that has such a wide and unique perspective on the subject.

All information in the content of the school catalog is current and correct and is so certified as true by David Gibson.

Accommodations
The Institute has collected a great deal of information to help you in your search for reasonable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Contact the Admissions Office at (415) 777-2486 anytime for a list of Agencies, Newspapers and other students looking for housing. Some web sites you might check are: sfgate.com, craigslist.com, listorganization.com, renttech.com, homefinders.com, metrorent.com, bayinsider.com, and ucsfedu.org.

Admission Policy and Process
Admission Policy and Process A high school education or equivalent is required for admission to all programs. Prospective students must fill out the Application for Enrollment, obtain transcripts or high school diploma (or equivalent), and write a 100 to 200 word essay on why they would like to attend the Institute. Each applicant must also take and pass a basic entrance exam. This exam is to determine the student’s ability to successfully be trained to perform the tasks associated with the particular occupation. The Institute does not participate in “Ability-to-Benefit” programs. The Admissions office phone number is (415) 777-2486.

Prior to entry into the program, every student must produce proof that satisfies the following entry requirements:
– Age 18 or older with a high school diploma or GED equivalent (or turning 18 within the year after HS),
– Valid email and mailing addresses, and phone number,
– A full and working knowledge of English.

Non-Discrimination Policy
It is our policy to not discriminate on any basis including, but not limited to age, race, color, physical or mental disability, national or ethnic origin, religion, marital or parental status, sexual orientation and/or sex. Faculty should not discriminate on any basis unrelated to academic performance. It is important to balance sensitivity and the right to free opinions.

English Language Proficiency
English proficiency is required to attend the Institute. Therefore, a basic understanding of English is necessary — especially since there are many new technical terms to learn. For those having difficulty, online videos of Certificate classes may be viewed at home. Globe Institute of Recording and Production is not currently approved by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to admit foreign students.

Credit for Previous Education and Training
Students may be given credit for equivalent education or experience. If it is recent enough, sufficiently thorough and relevant, and can be demonstrated as to satisfactory proficiency, appropriate credit may be allowed at the discretion of the school. There is no fee to assess or accept credits from another school, however there is no discount for classes accepted. Because of the nature of our unique curriculum, it is highly recommended that students take the entire program. The institution will accept a maximum of 45 clock hours or 3 units of credit from another institution for the Certificate Program. Equivalency is based on the similarity of course content. If there is a question as to the exact equivalency Globe Institute of Recording and Production will obtain the course outline of instruction. The course outline must include at least 75% of the primary details found in the Institute’s course outline. No credit is given for prior experiential learning. Students may appeal the decision on prior credits with the Director. The Institute has no agreement with another institution for the transfer of credits. The same policy applies for transferring credits from program to program within the Institute.

Course content: Transfer credits will only be accepted if the content of the transfer course is generally equivalent to the corresponding course at the Institute or the transfer course fulfills a general education requirement.

Documentation: Students must submit an official grade transcript and catalog course description and/or syllabus for each course they seek to transfer.

Grade: The student must have earned at least a grade of “C-” in each course evaluated for transfer credit.

Certificate program: Students in the certificate program must take all but 45 hours or 3 credits at Globe Institute of Recording and Production.

Attendance, Leave of Absence
Students must report to their first meeting of their scheduled classes. Prior to the end of the second week of each particular course, a faculty member may initiate a drop if: 1) a student has not attended the first two class meetings (or the first meeting of a course which meets only once per week); and 2) a student has not, by the end of the first week of a particular course, advised the faculty member that his/her absence is temporary. Continued absence from a course for which a student has not been dropped by the instructor may yield an unauthorized withdrawal (“U” grade) which is computed as an “F”. It is the responsibility of the student to officially drop a course. A student may take a Leave of Absence of a maximum of one year. Any longer than that and the student must begin the Program again.

Students are not permitted to miss more than 30% of the semester for a single course, or 30% of all classes in the certificate program. Instructors are recommended to automatically fail a student who has missed more than 30% of a class unless special arrangements are made. Also, unless special arrangements are made ahead of time, students missing more than two consecutive weeks of classes, regardless of total classes missed per class, may be automatically terminated from the Institute. Please note, the Institute does not permit excused absences. Labs and Recording Sessions may not be made up. However, certificate students may make up absences by watching videos of recorded classes and turning in the Pre-Test questions for that class. If a student shows documentation as justification for missing a class, such as a jury duty notice or substantial medical documentation, the student will still be counted as absent but it won’t affect the student’s final grade.

Academic Progress and Dismissal Policies
Students are evaluated on a timely basis through regular assignments and homework. There is a comprehensive final exam at the end of each semester for each class. A student must pass each class to retain good academic standing. A student who fails to maintain good academic standing for a semester will be placed on probation. A student on probation is expected to show the necessary improvement in academic performance by the end of the following semester in order to continue. The Institute offers free tutorial assistance for students who request it.  Students may also be dismissed for not following school regulations, drug use, sexual harassment, disruption of classes or violence, or if a student fails to make agreed payments.

Academic Counseling and Career Planning
Globe Institute of Recording and Production provides individual Academic Advisors to all students upon their entrance to the school. Each student is provided with an Academic Advisor who teaches at the Institute and who has professional experience in the recording industry. Academic advisors work with students throughout their entire program of study and counsel students on graduation requirements, academic programs, educational and career goals and the skills necessary to succeed professionally. When meeting with students, advisors have access to the students grades, proficiency test results, and other progress data available to provide personalized counseling toward the students strengths and career objectives. Students are required to meet with their advisor at least once per semester, but it is recommended that students meet with their advisor at least twice per semester.

Timely Response for Online Classes
The institution ensures timeliness of its responses (synchronously or asynchronously) to students’ requests by placing a requirement on response time of no more than 24 hours within the institution’s published operational schedule of the program/course.

Library and Other Learning Resources
Globe Institute of Recording and Production has a library containing a wide range of books in the Industry, educational video tapes, 100’s of back issues of recording magazines, a variety of educational audio CD’s and CD Rom Programs. There are numerous videos of mixes that have been produced with the Virtual Mixer, and videos of most of the classes in the Programs. The Institute also provides unlimited computer access to the Internet. There are also numerous study areas throughout the facility to promote study groups.

As a prospective student, you are encouraged to review the catalog prior to signing an enrollment agreement. You are also encouraged to review the School Performance Fact Sheet, which must be provided to you prior to signing an enrollment agreement.

Career Placement Assistance
The school has an active program to help students acquire jobs. The staff is in contact with hospitals and alternative health centers, particularly in Northern California. We also have an active Internship Program. This is the most common way that students get hired. Placement is not guaranteed.

Student Conduct
Students are expected to behave in a professional manner. Use of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited. Any student caught using drugs or alcohol or acting in an unruly manner may be expelled from the school.

Grading
Certificate programs – 50% attendance; 50% tests and homework assignments.

Record Retention
Globe Institute or Recording and Production maintains current records for a period of, NOT less than, five years. Transcripts are maintained for 50 years.

Student Grievances
Students are to take any grievances to the President. The President will make a full report of the grievance and will attempt to resolve the situation in a way that is agreeable to all parties involved. A copy of the written report will be given to the student and the student will be contacted, if necessary, to see if he or she is satisfied with the outcome.

If the grievance is still not resolved, the President will require a formal written complaint from the student. An ad hoc committee of faculty, staff, and student representation will be formed. The committee will review the written complaint filed by the student and hear a verbal report from all parties involved. The committee will recommend action to resolve the matter. All students are notified that they may bring up any unresolved grievances with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education 1747 N. Market Blvd. Suite 225 Sacramento, CA 95834. The toll-free number is (888) 370-7589.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICIES for classes at the Institute

Cancellation

If tuition and fees are collected in advance of the start date of a program and the institution cancels the class, the institution refunds 100% of the tuition and fees collected. If tuition and fees are collected in advance of the start date of classes and the student does not begin classes or withdraws on the first day of classes, the institution retains no more than $100 of the tuition and fees.

Students who have not visited the school facility prior to enrollment have the opportunity to withdraw without penalty within three days following either attendance at a regularly-scheduled orientation or following a tour of the facilities and inspection of the equipment.

You have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund. The Institute shall refund 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250), if notice of cancellation is made through attendance at the first class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later.

Cancellation will occur when the student gives written notice of cancellation to the school at the address specified on the enrollment agreement or . You can do this by mail, hand delivery, or telegram. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, it is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by this agreement. You may withdraw from a course after instruction has started and receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the tuition and other refundable charges if you have completed 60% or less of the instruction. Refunds will be paid within 45 days of cancellation or withdrawal.

The amount of the refund shall be the amount the student paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours of instruction that the student has paid, less a $75.00 registration fee, and the documented cost of any equipment that the Institute provided the student which was not returned in reusable condition within forty-five (45) days after the student’s withdrawal.

Example:

Tuition $1850
Registration
Tuition
$75
Reader/Book Fee $75
Tuition, plus all fees, all amounts paid for instruction $2000
Registration fee retained by school – $75
Total Amount Paid for instruction / less registration cap $1925
REFUND = $1925 X

Hours not attended, but paid for

_________________________________

Total # of hours paid for

The table below outlines the estimated refund of tuition if you were unable to complete your training program, although it is prorated based on the exact percentage not completed.
10% completed         90% refund
25% completed         75% refund
50% completed         50% refund

CANCELLATION AFTER COMPLETING 60% OF THE COURSE WILL RESULT IN NO REFUND. 

Institutions with programs longer than 12 months that financially obligate the student for any period of time beyond 12 months release the student of the obligation to pay beyond the 12 months if the student withdraws during the first 12 months. The calculation of the refund for the unused portion of the first 12 months is based on the calculation above. If the student withdraws during any subsequent period following the first 12 months, the student’s refund for the unused portion of the tuition applicable to the period of withdrawal is prorated as above.

If a student obtains a loan, the student will have to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student receives federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the money not paid from financial aid funds.

REFUND PROCEDURE
Refunds are issued through the Business Office when a student withdraws from all classes. The issuance of a refund is not contingent upon notification of withdrawal by the student. Students who officially withdraw from the college should contact the school Director to initiate the issuance of a refund. For students receiving funding from a third party, tuition refunds are first applied toward repayment of third party funding.

If tuition and fees are collected in advance of the start date of a program and the institution cancels the class, the institution refunds 100% of the tuition and fees collected. You have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund. The institution, for all students, without penalty or obligation, shall refund 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100), if the notice of cancellation is made prior to receiving the class materials.

Once a student has enrolled, a student may receive a full refund (minus the registration fee) if the student has not received any of the class materials. Cancellation will occur when the student gives written notice of cancellation to the school at the address specified on the enrollment agreement. You can do this by mail, hand delivery, or email. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however expressed, it is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by this agreement.

The school will also refund money collected for sending to a third party on the student’s behalf, such as a license or application fees. If the school cancels or discontinues a course or educational program, the school will make a full refund or all charges. If a student obtains a loan, the student will have to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student receives federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the money not paid from financial aid funds.

Change in the day or time when the class is offered after the student has enrolled in the course – A full refund must be offered to a student who does not consent to a change of day, or any class that is offered on a day when the student is not scheduled to attend the institution, or to a time that is outside the range of time the student is scheduled to attend on the day for which the change in time is proposed.

School closure – The student has a right to a pro rata refund of the unused portion of tuition should the school close before the student completes his or her course of instruction.

A pro rata refund shall be no less than the total amount owed by the student for the portion of the educational program provided subtracted from the amount paid by the student, calculated as follows: (1) The amount owed equals the daily charge for the program (total institutional charge, divided by the number of days or hours in the program), multiplied by the number of days student attended, or was scheduled to attend, prior to withdrawal. All amounts paid by the student in excess of what is owed as calculated shall be refunded.

REFUND PROCEDURE
Refunds are issued through the Business Office when a student withdraws from all classes. Students who officially withdraw from the college should contact the school Director to initiate the issuance of a refund. For students receiving funding from a third party, tuition refunds are first applied toward repayment of third party funding. Refunds will be paid within 45 days of cancellation or withdrawal.

DISCLOSURE RE: STUDENT TUITION RECOVER FUND
“The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.

 You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.”
