Determination of Satisfactory Progress

Satisfactory progress must be maintained in order for the student to remain enrolled at NYIM. To maintain satisfactory academic progress, the student is required to:

     Maintain a term and cumulative course minimum average of 2.0 (C Grade or 70%, or greater)
     Receive no more than one “D” or “F” grade in any term, and no more than two “D” or “F” grades throughout the entire program, not including Anatomy & Physiology and Introduction to Massage
     Must successfully earn 67% of the hours attempted each term in order to complete the program in the maximum timeframe.
     Must receive a final grade of C (70% or 2.0) or greater in order successfully earn credit for the course hours, must achieve a final CPA of 2.0 (C grade or 70%) or greater in each course, in order to have academic standards eligible for graduation.
     Complete the entire program within 1.5 times the normal duration of the program. For a full-time student, that is 6 terms (4 x 1.5), and for a part-time student, that is 12 terms (8 x 1.5). For students switching enrollment status between full-time and part-time, the longer program limits will apply.
     Academic progress is measured each term (or in three month increments).
     Failure to meet the minimum passing grade requirements will result in an “F" grade for the course. The student must retake the course at an additional cost (no aid or loans apply) and meet or exceed the minimum-passing grade to successfully earn credit for the course hours. Both attempts will count as hours/courses attempted in determining the maximum timeframe to complete the program.
     If a student repeats a course, the higher final grade will be used in the final Core Point Average (C.P.A).
     Courses with a final grade of D, F, I, or W are attempted but not successfully earned, and will be counted in determining the maximum timeframe to complete the program.

In the event the student fails to maintain satisfactory progress, NYIM will review the student’s academic 10 records to determine if the student is capable of benefiting from continued enrollment. The student will be placed on Academic Probation.
The student must be making satisfactory academic progress in order to be eligible for financial aid. If the student loses eligibility for financial aid due to not maintaining satisfactory academic progress, the student will not regain eligibility to receive financial aid until the student establishes that he or she is once again making satisfactory academic progress.
