A midterm and a final grade will be calculated and submitted by each instructor to the Campus Director. Grade reports will be posted for students for each quiz or exam marked.

Students are expected to complete all course requirements listed in the program review courses.

GRADING SYSTEM 

Percentage grades represent the final measure of a student’s performance in a course. A grade is issued for each course attempted. 

REPEATING A COURSE EXAMINATION

A student may repeat a Course Examination in which a letter grade has been earned; provided the exam rewrite takes place within two weeks of the original exam. A student is required to rewrite any exam in which a grade of less than “C” was received. The new grade will replace the original grade. Students may repeat an exam only once. Students who do not successfully complete a course with a “C” or better after the exam rewrite will be terminated from the school. NMA does not advise its students to rewrite exams where a grade of a “C” or better has been earned.

WITHDRAWAL
Withdrawal from a course requires a Student Withdrawal/Completion Form to be completed. The forms are available in the Office of Administrative Services. The Student Withdraw/Completion Form must be submitted to the Director of Administrative Services for processing. Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from a course prior to completion will be assigned a grade of “W”. “W” grades are not calculated in the Grade Point Average, however the course must be repeated, thereby resulting in a letter grade, before a student will be allowed to graduate.

MAXIMUM TIME FRAME
Students enrolled at MCTI, must complete their studies within certain time limits to be eligible for a Certificate of Completion. The maximum time frame a student has to complete any program of study is the program duration as printed on the program agreement or elsewhere if not in the program agreement. Periods of non-enrollment (authorized leave of absence) are not considered in the maximum time frame for course completion calculation.

MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENTS
It is at the instructor’s discretion to allow students to make up assignments. The student must make arrangement with the instructor to make up the missed assignment to improve his/her grade prior to the instructor issuing a final grade to the Campus Director.

Any refund is subject to the Refund Policy in effect for the Program the student is enrolled in.

ATTENDANCE
MCTI students are expected to attend each class session unless prevented by illness or other unavoidable circumstances. Attendance is taken for each class session. Intentional class misses are not condoned and shall be recorded as absences. Students arriving after attendance has been taken shall be marked absent, unless excused by the instructor. A student who misses more than three days shall be considered to have excessive absences, and shall be subject to Dismissal. Individual instructors may establish more stringent and specific attendance expectations. At the beginning of each course, instructors will make clear to students the attendance regulations for the course. If expectations are unclear, students should seek clarification from their instructor. Attendance at examinations is mandatory. An absence for any quiz, test, or examination may result in a grade of “F” unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. Attendance at scheduled clinical sessions is mandatory. An absence for a clinical session may result in a grade of “F” unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. A 100% attendance is required during externships.
