In consideration of acceptance of my application for a course of studies at Rhodes Wellness College, which may include field trips and excursions, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and other personal representatives hereby WAIVE any and all rights and claims arising by any cause whatsoever, including negligence, which I have or may have against Rhodes Wellness College, it’s servants, employees and agents and the organizers involving activities, not limited to the Province of British Columbia or field trips or excursions elsewhere, which would be considered part of my training program and without limiting the generality thereof, risk of injury and loss, including negligence, whether prior to, during, or after any excursion or activities, and hereby RELEASE Rhodes Wellness College, it’s servants and agents and the organizers from any and all liability for damages sustained due to or as a result of any participation in this or any course of study at the College.

Rhodes Wellness College is subject to the requirements of the Criminal Records Review Act (CRRA). All students enrolled in the Registered Massage Therapy program must undergo a criminal record check prior to starting the program, which includes a vulnerable persons check. If a student is found to present a risk of physical or sexual abuse to children or to vulnerable adults as a result of the CRRA check, the student will be refused admission to the program. Therefore, in order to participate in Student Clinic and practicum settings one must complete a criminal record and vulnerable person check within the previous six months. 

RMT applicants must complete their criminal record check at: Criminal record checks - Province of British Columbia. This process may take 2-3 weeks, and students must indicate Rhodes Wellness College as the recipient of the check so as to be notified of the result. A criminal record check through a local RCMP office is not sufficient.

At Rhodes 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:

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 classes taught online at Rhodes Wellness College, students will utilize various software applications such as Zoom, Google Slides/Powerpoint, and Google Docs/Microsoft Word. Additionally, students should be comfortable with downloading files to their computer. By ensuring that you have access to these essential technologies, you will be better equipped to collaborate with peers, complete assignments, and succeed academically. Rhodes Wellness College also utilizes Moodle, a popular Learning Management System (LMS), for distribution of course materials, final exams and submission of assignments. Students will be provided with their login details to Moodle and orientation to this platform at the start of their program during class.

Our classes are taught online via Zoom 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:
