Training Center Policies:

1.    Each training level consists of twelve weeks for Levels 1 and 2 and six to eight weeks for Levels 3, 4, and 5.
2.    Homework/book reports required for each level must be completed before beginning the next level.
3.    Students will not advance to the next level until all previous requirements have been met.
4.    Students may not advance to the next level if there are any outstanding fees.
5.    Individualized tracks CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED—all students must participate in scheduled semesters.
6.    Students are expected to attend all classes. All absences must be coordinated and lessons completed. Three absences (Levels 1 and 2) or two absences (Levels 3, 4, and 5) will require retaking the entire semester.
7.    If a student wishes to repeat a semester, a $50 administrative fee will be charged ($100 for married couples).
8.    Couple registrations are defined as a married couple.
9.    The registration fee is not refundable; however, it may be applied to a future class for the same registered individual.
10.  New registrations will not be accepted after the second class for Levels 1 and 2 or after the first class for Levels 3, 4, and 5.
11.  ALL registrations must be completed online or delivered/ mailed to the Rod & Staff Ministries (RSM) office.  Please do not send registrations to the office via Woody or any of the teaching faculty.
12.  RSM is a NANC Certified training center and therefore adheres to NANC theological and methodological philosophies.
13.  Training classes located over 30 miles from RSM must have a minimum registration of 25 students.  Training classes located over 60 miles from RSM must have a minimum registration of 35 students.
14.  If RSM has to cancel a class due to low registration, full refund will be given to those already registered.
15.  Application for NANC Certification must be completed during the Level 4/5 semester.
16.  Application for NANC Certification is the responsibility of the student.  RSM will provide necessary information, but the student must follow through with correspondence and necessary paperwork.
17.  Class size may be limited based upon facilities.  Therefore, early registration is encouraged. Those whose registration is received (on-line or in the RSM offices) two weeks prior to class start date will receive $50 off of class fees.  Those who register after class has begun will be charged an additional administrative fee of $25.
