NYIM will accurately report to the NYS Education Department the number of class hours attended. If insufficient, the State will not permit the applicant to take the State Licensing Examination.
Class attendance is an important aspect of the student’s learning experience. Students are required to attend all classes. If a student is unable to attend a class or classes due to unforeseen circumstances, the following policies apply:
Being late to class constitutes tardiness; three (3) tardiness reports will result in one (1) absence, the equivalent of 4.5 hours of missing class time, which must be made up.
Any student with more than 13.5 hours of outstanding missing time will be placed on academic probation until all time is made up. Students failing to make up time while on probation are subject to termination.
Any student with more than 52 total hours of absence may only attend another class of the same subject to make up any missing class hours. If a student has missed less than 52 hours of class they must make up the class by watching the corresponding video.
Any student missing more than 20% of any course will be given an "F" for the course.
