Orientation & community
Every student gets a Daoist Traditions email and campus mailbox, an orientation each semester, and a place in a close cohort — plus President’s Receptions and student organizations.
Students & Alumni

From your first orientation to your career as a practitioner, the college is a small community that looks after its own. Here’s what current students and graduates can count on.
Student Services
Support for current students
As a small college, we know every student by name — and we build support around the whole person, not just the coursework.

Students are encouraged to receive treatments to stay healthy and ease the stress of study — at a discounted rate in our teaching clinic.

Courses in practice management and marketing, plus placement assistance — job listings and practice opportunities to launch your career.

The Student Government Association works to enhance the student experience — reach them anytime at sga@daoisttraditions.edu.

Your student ID unlocks discounts around Asheville and online — small savings that add up over four years.

The Library
A library for Chinese medicine
Open to students, alumni, and faculty, the library holds books, journals, periodicals, and audio-visual materials spanning Chinese medicine, cultivation practices, philosophy, biomedicine, herbal medicine, complementary modalities, and business and study skills — including the largest collection of Jeffrey Yuen course recordings in the United States.
- Search the catalog online, or use the EBSCO research databases.
- Enrolled MAHM and MAHM/DAHM students also receive borrowing privileges at UNC Asheville’s Ramsey Library.
- Wireless internet, copy, and print services on site.

Requesting your transcript
Students and alumni can request official transcripts from the Registrar. Please request them at least two weeks before you need them.
A few things to know: the first copy is free and each additional copy is $20 (the Registrar will invoice you if payment is due). Transcripts can’t be released to anyone with an outstanding financial obligation to the college, and are never released to a third party without your written consent. Certification-to-test requests through the NCBAHM portal are handled automatically — no separate transcript needed.
Career Opportunities
Jobs and practices for acupuncturists
We keep a running board of opportunities for licensed acupuncturists — associate and staff positions around the country, and established practices for sale — alongside ways to give back.
Job listings
Acupuncturist positions across North Carolina and beyond, updated regularly. Ask the office for the current openings.
Practices for sale
Established practices changing hands — a chance to step into a going concern rather than build from scratch.
Volunteer & service
Give back through organizations like Acupuncturists Without Borders and the Acupuncture Relief Project.
Have a position, practice sale, or office rental to share? Email a PDF with the details to rnowakowski@daoisttraditions.edu and we’ll add it to the board. Current listings are maintained by the college office — call 828.225.3993 for what’s open now.
