Avenue Five Institute cannot assure admission to all applicants nor guarantee availability of classes. The school reserves the right to determine whether an applicant possesses the qualifications to be successful in a program of study at the school and in the vocation for which the program provides preparation. The school requires that each applicant, prior to enrollment, must submit an acceptable High School diploma, transcripts, or equivalent from an acceptable accredited high school. Transcripts must show high school completion. Foreign High School Diplomas and Diplomas not in English must be translated and evaluated by a recognized agency for verification of validity. That outside agency must be qualified to translate the documentation to English and confirm it’s equivalent to a U.S. High School Diploma. Ability to Benefit is not recognized by the school. The school also accepts General Education Diploma (GED), or other Department of Education recognized high school diploma equivalent such as the HiSet Exam. Proof of home schooling at the secondary level as defined by state law, or proof of an academic transcript of a student who has successfully completed a bachelor's degree or at least a two-year program that is acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree. Students must also submit proof of age and be at least 17 years old and must not be enrolled at a primary or secondary institution school. Students enrolling in the Massage Therapy programs must submit proof of age and be at least 18 years of age on scheduled class commencement. Avenue Five Institute does not discriminate in its employment, admission, instruction, or graduation policies on the basis of age, race, ethnic origin, creed, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, financial status, or area of origin (nationality) or residence, nor does the school actively recruit students already enrolled in or attending another institution offering similar programs. Texas law restricts the issuance of occupational licenses based on a license applicant’s criminal history; and authorizes the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, in some cases, to consider a person convicted, even though the person was only on probation or community supervision without a conviction. As an applicant/enrollee in an educational or training program that prepares individuals for issuance of an occupational license, Avenue Five Institute is notifying you that if you have been convicted of an offense or placed on probation, you might not be eligible for an occupational license issued by TDLR after program completion. TDLR’s criminal history guidelines are available at
www.tdlr.texas.gov/crimconvict.htm www.tdlr.texas.gov/crimhistoryeval.htm. Section 53.152, Occupations Code, requires that notice be provided to each applicant/enrollee regardless of whether he/she has been convicted of an offense. State law also requires TDLR to order an educational program provider to refund tuition, license application fees, and examination fees if TDLR determines the institution failed to provide notice to applicant/enrollee and license application was denied because of criminal history.
