Due to the individualized nature of instruction, enrollment is limited and based upon the following requirements.
A prospective student must:
  1. Submit a high school diploma, GED equivalent, or College Transcript.
  2. Submit a signed enrollment agreement as required by the Commission for Independent Education.
  3. Submit an application form.
  4. Have a personal interview with the administrator of the school either in person if the student is residing in the Tampa Bay Area or by telephone if residence is outside the Tampa Bay Area.
Students may begin class weekly on a space available basis. A student may be accepted for admission to the program any time prior to the next available space. Class starting dates are indicated in the school calendar. We reserve the right to deny admittance to any person whose physical condition, medical history, or behaviors would make it inappropriate for them to enter our program. Our school is wheelchair accessible and has a handicapped bathroom. We attempt to make all reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabili-ties as prescribed by Federal Law. We do not discriminate against any person for reason of gender, age, race, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation.

Transferring Students
Because of the uniqueness of our program, transferring students are evaluated on a case by case basis.

Re-entry Of Dismissed and Voluntary Withdrawal Students
Each re-entry will be dealt with on an individual basis by the director of the program. The students should submit a letter requesting re-entry and meet with the director of the program. The decision may involve any of the following:
  1. Denial of the request.
  2. Probationary acceptance with specific guidelines for continued attendance.
  3. Acceptance of the request.
Advanced Placement
Students who have received previous training in Bhakti Energy Work® may be considered for advanced placement. This is done on a case by case basis and students will be evaluated by Julie and Dale McNitt, co-creators of Bhakti Academe, Inc.

Non Accreditation
We have not sought accreditation and have no plans to do so. From our perspective, accreditation is about money and being able to offer federal financial aid, which paradoxically would increase the cost of our program because of the additional administrative fees, and additional personnel to run the program. Our lack of accreditation does not affect graduates ability to sit for the National Certification Exam or keep them from becoming licensed in the state of Florida. Like all other massage schools in the state of Florida, we are licensed by the Commission for Independent Education and are approved by the Florida Board of Massage.
