100-94 A
93-86 B
85-76 C
75-70 D
Any grade falling below 70 is considered failing.
The grades are also available at the end of each session. In general, a passing grade in an academic cource signifies a minimum of a seventy percent grade on tests and in written and practical exams and satisfactory and timely completion of all assignments, reports, rejects, journals, etc.
A passing grade in a massage or personal growth course is determined by individual instructors and based on particular goals of these courses as a published and explained in the course syllabus and again in the instructor’s introduction at the beginning of the course. A grade of incomplete is given in rare cases; all course work, including make-up work, must be completed within two weeks of the beginning of the following session.

If the contract then goes unfulfilled, the student is placed on probation. If probationary conditions are not met, she student is suspended. Re application is then necessary to readmittance.
