8. REQUIREMENTS FOR RECIPIENT OF THE COURSE. The Giveaway winner may designate the beneficiary of the Medical Assistant Certificate course provided the beneficiary (also referred to as “Designated Beneficiary” and “Student”) is an employee of the same organization as the Giveaway winner and meets U.S. Career Institute admission requirements. U.S. Career Institute is an equal opportunity institution and offers admission to anyone who meets the admission standards as outlined in the U.S. Career Institute Course Catalog and can benefit from the training, without regard to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, color, national or ethnic origin, physical disability or place of residence. To qualify for enrollment in the Medical Assistant Certificate course, an applicant must: 1. Certify that she/he is a high school graduate, holds a state-approved Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED) or its equivalent, or has completed college-level course work; or otherwise demonstrate ability to perform postsecondary-level course work (including test evidence). 2. Submit a completed enrollment application. 3. Be at least 16 years of age. U.S. Career Institute is an open-enrollment school. This means that as long as the applicant meets the admissions requirements for minimum education and age, they will be accepted into the school. Students must be able to read, write and speak English fluently. Students aged 16 and 17 may be admitted to the school provided their parent or guardian signs the enrollment agreement. Per the admissions policy, applicants who do not meet the high school diploma or equivalent (or other stated) requirement are allowed to use test evidence to show they can benefit from the program. The first five grades the student receives serve as the basis for test evidence. If a student has a “C” GPA, the student is deemed to meet the minimum education requirement. U.S. Career Institute reserves the right to ask a student to submit a Wonderlic verbal exam if it deems the previous test evidence is not appropriate to determine ability to benefit. Students who do not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress or other policies stated in the school catalog will be terminated from the program. In the event of student dismissal per terms of the school catalog or employment from originating organization the enrollment is not transferable to any other Designated Beneficiary.
9. PROMOTION DRAWING AND NOTIFICATION. A winning entry will be selected at random from all eligible entries received, on the date of April 2, 2025. Such random drawing will be conducted by Sponsor, whose decision will be final. The individual whose entry is selected will be notified through email or phone provided by entrant. This notification will occur within three (3) business days after selection. If Sponsor or its designee is unable to contact the individual(s) whose entry was selected using the contact information provided, and/or if the individual whose entry was selected fails to respond to such notification within five (5) business days of delivery of such notification, the individual whose entry was selected will be disqualified and forfeit his/her right to the prize, and an alternate winning entry will be randomly selected.
