At Rhode Wellness College, everything we do is experiential. Therefore, it is vital for students to be in attendance in order to learn and gain competencies in the skills they need to demonstrate for every course. This is why we have an Attendance Policy, which includes on-camera requirements when you participate in any online learning, and a separate Participation Policy, which constitutes a major portion of any course grade. 

For specific details on what our Attendance Policy is, please visit our website below:

Attendance Policy Page

Additionally, please note that our attendance policy requires students to be actively participating and contributing to making the classroom environment a safe place to share confidential information that could include personal information of other students. This is why we need to assure that students are on camera and wearing headphones when participating in online classes. You will find that when your fellow students also honour our confidentiality requirements and are participating with you on-camera, you will feel more supported and safe with all of your classmates.

For specific details on what our on-camera & headphone policy is, as it relates to attendance. Please visit our website below:

Many classes will be taught online (currently we use the Zoom platform, which we have been using now for over six years), where you’ll connect with your instructors and peers through video streamed over the internet, and engage in online discussions in your field of study. Be ready with the tech you need.

Participants need to have the following:

• A desktop or laptop running Windows 10 or macOS (Version 10.15/Catalina) or better (tablet may be ok; please speak with your admissions representative to determine.)
• Webcam, microphone, earbuds or headphones.
• While Zoom only requires 1.5Mbps to use, our experience suggests that speeds below 5Mbps are not adequate for two-way interaction. For an optimal experience, speeds of 20Mbps or higher are preferred.
