Academic Integrity:

College guidelines for academic integrity are strictly enforced.

Students must document the original sources of all material that is not his/her own.
Refer to the Student Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook.

Attendance:

Course work at AiNE is very hands-on and students are expected to attend class on a regular basis. Poor attendance will affect a student’s final grade in a class as follows:
Our college-wide standard is, that a student with more than 3 absences will have their earned academic grade lowered one letter grade (ex: B+ to C+). More than 4 absences will lower their grade to D.

Students are responsible for communicating with their instructors regarding missing classes. All faculty members have school voice mail and email to help students contact them.
The college does not distinguish between excused or unexcused absences.
A student who misses all of his or her classes for two consecutive weeks will be withdrawn from the college.

Tardiness:

If a student arrives late or leaves early from class, it is noted in the attendance roster.
4 late arrivals/early departures = 1 absence
Further, if a student misses more then 30 minutes of class, he/she will be marked with a one-half absence for that class.
2 half absences = 1 absence

  • Students must turn off cell phones, beepers, and portable audio devices during class.
