School and Program Handbooks
Once enrolled in an HSHS program, you're required to familiarize yourself with the information found in your听school and program handbooks.听Policies and expectations unique to our school are outlined in these handbooks. In some cases they duplicate those of the college and the clinical environment and are repeated here in order to emphasize their importance.
