• About 天美影院

  天美影院 Institute of Technology is a private, non-profit, technical university whose mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate degree programs for students from diverse educational backgrounds and with differing levels of ability. The university鈥檚 mission evolved from the principle that all persons, regardless of age, gender, disability, socioeconomic circumstances, religious, racial or ethnic background, should have access to career opportunities through a quality technical education. To achieve this purpose, 天美影院 is first and foremost an institution committed to teaching.

  For over eighty years, 天美影院 Institute of Technology has met the challenge of preparing its graduates to enter an increasingly competitive workplace. Founded in 1940 as the 天美影院 Technical Institute, the present university began as a certificate-granting trade school. In 1977, the Board of Regents of the State of Rhode Island granted the institution the authority to offer associate degrees. In 1984, in addition to associate degrees, the State of Rhode Island authorized 天美影院 to confer baccalaureate degrees and such other degrees, earned and honorary, as are usually conferred by colleges and universities in addition to its associate degree programs. In 2010, the university began enrolling students for its first Master of Science degree program, and in 2018, the university offered its first post-professional doctoral program.

  天美影院 Institute of Technology is accredited by the 天美影院 Commission of Higher Education.

  天美影院 Institute of Technology has three campuses in Rhode Island, two in Warwick and a 220-acre campus in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, all a short distance south of the state鈥檚 capital, Providence.

  GRADE POINT AVERAGE

  Grade points are computed by multiplying the number of credit hours for the course by the weighted point value of the grade (see Grading System). Example: A grade of B+ (with a grade point value of 3.33) in Math 125, a four-credit course, is assigned 13.32 grade points, (3.33 x 4). The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of grade points achieved by number of credit hours of work completed.

  Courses for which transfer credit was awarded and courses with P, S, U, and W grades are not included in the GPA calculations.

  ACADEMIC PROBATION
  Academic probation is a provisional status given to a student who is not meeting the university鈥檚 requirements for academic achievement. A student who does not meet the university鈥檚 requirements for academic achievement (see 鈥淩equired Levels of Achievement鈥� below) will be placed on academic probation. A student who is placed on probation must meet with a student advisor in the Office of Student Support Services to discuss academic challenges and develop a plan to become academically successful.

  A student who has met the university鈥檚 requirements for academic achievement by the end of the probationary term will be taken off probation. An undergraduate or graduate student who has not met the university鈥檚 requirements for academic achievement at the end of the probationary term will remain on probation for a second term. A doctoral student who has not met the university鈥檚 requirements for academic achievement at the end of the probationary term will be dismissed.

  A student who has met the university鈥檚 requirements for academic achievement by the end of a second probationary term will be removed from probationary status if the student鈥檚 cumulative GPA meets the minimum requirements. A student who has had a successful academic term but whose cumulative progress does not meet the academic standards required by his/her program will remain on probation for an additional term. A student in a second probationary term who has not had a successful academic term and whose achievement does not meet the cumulative GPA university requirement will be dismissed from the university.

  Undergraduate students may not take more than 19 credits during their first听probationary term and not more than 16 credits during their second probationary听term. A student who is on academic probation must contact his/her student advisor听to review and discuss the proper course load for the successive term.

  REQUIRED LEVELS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

  Any student who does not meet the following standards for the grade point average each term and/or for cumulative grade point average, will be on probation for the following term:

  Credits Completed	End-of-Term GPA	Cumulative GPA
  Certificate Program
  Practical Nurse	2.33	2.33
  Associate Degree Programs
  < 36 credits completed	1.0	1.7
  36-71 credits completed	1.0	1.8
  72 and above	2.0	2.0
  Bachelor’s Degree Programs	2.0	2.0
  Master’s Degree Programs	3.0	3.0
  Doctoral Degree Program	3.0	3.0

  *A 2.0 GPA is required for students if they intend to do the 2 additional terms to complete their A.S. Degree.

  Note: Students should check the Question and Answer portion of the curriculum document issued at the time of enrollment for their respective programs to determine specific criteria (e.g., grades and/or cumulative grade point average) necessary to remain in good academic standing in that program. Additionally, it is the student鈥檚 responsibility to maintain an awareness of any changes in criteria that would affect a student鈥檚 enrollment status.

  Appeal of Dismissal

  A student who has been dismissed because his/her poor academic achievement and/or failure to meet university requirements听may appeal the dismissal by filling out a petition in the Office of Teaching and Learning. Consideration will be given to extenuating circumstances that led to poor academic achievement. Students who successfully appeal a dismissal will be placed on second probation.

• Accreditation

  Public Comment Notice

  天美影院 Institute of Technology is accredited by the 天美影院 Commission of Higher Education.

  Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

  Accreditation by the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

  Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the Commission should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact: 天美影院 Commission of Higher Education 301 Edgewater Place, Suite 210, Wakefield, MA 01880 781-425-7785 E-Mail: [email protected]

• Campus Setting

  天美影院 Institute of Technology has its main campus in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, with two other locations in nearby Warwick, Rhode Island.

  天美影院 Tech鈥檚 newest campus at One 天美影院 Tech Boulevard, East Greenwich, RI, covers over 200 acres and currently features a completely renovated 265,000 square foot educational facility. Among many of its features include specialized laboratories offering students the opportunity to work with equipment found in industry; video laboratories featuring HD equipment; a nursing simulation lab, complete with computerized talking mannequins; and a new 17,250 sq. ft. library with sixty (60) personal computers for individual use, and high tech collaboration rooms allowing students to connect up to six laptop computers and display the information on their laptop to a large screen within the work space.

  The Julian B. Gouse Campus, located at 2500 Post Road, in Warwick, Rhode Island, features a newly renovated 57,000 square foot facility containing classroom and laboratory space. The Gouse Campus is named after the late trustee and benefactor of the university. Julian B. Gouse was a member of the original Board of Directors of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools; a trustee of 天美影院 Institute of Technology; and, for twenty years, president of one of America鈥檚 leading technical schools, Massachusetts Trade Shop School.

  The nearby Access Road Campus consists of four buildings, containing more than 114,000 square feet of office, classroom, and laboratory space featuring a custom-designed 53,000 square-foot facility dedicated exclusively to the training of automotive technicians which opened in April 2005. The Access Road Campus receives power from a 156 foot wind turbine, an array of 135 solar panels, and is heated and cooled by a geothermal system.

  All buildings on the East Greenwich, Gouse, and Access Road Campuses were either originally designed or extensively remodeled to serve the institutional needs of the university, its mission and purposes. Laboratories have been conceived for the technology of the 21st century and they equal or surpass industry standards. Spacious and well-lighted, many of these combined classroom/laboratories have been custom-built to faculty and staff specifications. These facilities integrate computers into a highly functional setting for the technological training that is necessary to prepare students for successful applications in the workplace.

  The university requires that all students be prepared to take classes and receive services at any of 天美影院鈥檚 locations where the appropriate classes and services are offered. It is not possible for a student to take an entire program including liberal arts courses at the Access Road Campus.

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

  As an institution primarily devoted to teaching, 天美影院 provides opportunities for students from diverse educational backgrounds and with varying levels of ability to study in a variety of technological fields in a safe environment that fosters the intellectual and personal development of its students. 天美影院鈥檚 goal is to accept all students who meet the university鈥檚 entrance requirements without regard to race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, or any other criterion specified by federal, state or local laws and to provide an inclusive campus environment where all students feel welcome and equally treated.

• Educational Philosophy

  天美影院 Institute of Technology is a private, non-profit, technical university whose mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate degree programs for students from diverse educational backgrounds and with differing levels of ability. The university鈥檚 mission evolved from the principle that all persons, regardless of age, gender, disability, socioeconomic circumstances, religious, racial or ethnic background, should have access to career opportunities through a quality technical education. To achieve this purpose, 天美影院 is first and foremost an institution committed to teaching.

  At 天美影院, we believe and affirm that every student can learn; we recognize that different students may learn in different ways with differing levels of ability; and we recognize the importance of creating a learning environment in each classroom and laboratory that both challenges and supports each of our students.

  Definition of an Educated Person

  The 天美影院 Institute of Technology philosophy of education described in its Educational Philosophy is embraced firmly by faculty and staff. This philosophy is guided and sustained by the 天美影院 Statement of Mission and Objectives. It is intrinsic to the culture of the听university and it is manifest in how and what the faculty teach and in what they expect of 天美影院 graduates as educated persons.

  天美影院鈥檚 graduates achieve technical competence, and develop the values and standards of professional and ethical behavior that can serve them well in both the workplace and in our democratic society. These values include responsible citizenship, an appreciation of and respect for cultural diversity, and an informed world-view.

  天美影院 anticipates that its graduates know how to observe and to read carefully, to analyze and evaluate facts and ideas, to reach valid and well-supported conclusions, and to communicate clearly. The university expects also that its graduates appreciate other fields of knowledge鈥攕cience, the arts and humanities, and the social sciences鈥攁nd that they are able to integrate what they have learned from these subjects within their technical and professional fields.

  The faculty strive to instill in their students the belief that knowledge coupled with experience leads to wisdom, and that education does not end with a degree, but continues throughout one鈥檚 lifetime. In the process, 天美影院 graduates may discover the joy to be found in learning, the hallmark of an educated person.

• Student Conduct

  Rules and regulations for student conduct

  STUDENTS鈥� RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  University policies, rules, and procedures setting forth student rights and responsibilities are published in the catalog and the听厂tudent Handbook. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to review these publications. Copies of the most recent versions of these publications are available on the 天美影院 Tech Student Home Page https://students.neit.edu/.

  Student Conduct

  It is expected that each member of the university community will responsibly participate in a cooperative learning experience. To ensure the success of this experience, the university requires a community which encourages mutual respect. Students who have concerns of any kind are urged to consult immediately with an appropriate member of the university community. Students who are unclear as to who may best resolve their concerns should consult the Office of Student Support Services. This office will refer the student to the听appropriate department and will assist the student as necessary.

  Students who have conflicts involving staff, other students, academic matters or any other aspect of their university experience听should follow the procedures outlined in the Student Handbook entitled 鈥淪tudent Conflict Resolution Procedure.鈥�

  Any student who feels he/she was unfairly disciplined or dismissed may petition in writing as published in the Student Conduct Policy and Disciplinary Procedures as described below.

  Student听Conduct Policy and Disciplinary听笔rocedures听

  It is a major objective at 天美影院 to protect and preserve the quality of the educational environment for everyone. This objective entails two basic expectations:

  a. That the 天美影院 community expects high standards of courtesy, integrity, and responsibility from all of its members.
  b. That each student is responsible for his/her conduct, and that continuation as a student is conditional upon compliance with the requirements expressed or implied in this policy.

  University officials are charged with the welfare of all students. It is in this regard that 天美影院 reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of the campus community.

  Disregard on the part of the student for the university鈥檚 rules, regulations or policies,听or exhibition of behavior by a student, on- or off-campus, that in the sole judgment
  of university officials demonstrates a serious lack of respect for other members听of the campus community or that could be considered a potential safety threat听to the campus community, may require the immediate application of sanctions or听disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

  It is neither possible nor necessary to specify every instance of misconduct that could听result in sanctions, disciplinary action or dismissal from the university. Grounds for听sanctions, disciplinary action or dismissal include but are not limited to: the use,听possession or sale of intoxicating beverages on campus; the use, possession or sale听of illegal drugs on campus; gambling on campus; insubordination; nonpayment of听financial obligations; the unauthorized use of school equipment including computers听and computer systems; academic dishonesty; plagiarism; violation of copyright laws;听assault; harassment; disruptive, disorderly or indecent behavior; serious criminal听offenses; or failure to exhibit the highest quality of behavior, good citizenship and听respect for the campus community, both on- and off-campus.

  Disciplinary action is based upon the nature and severity of the matter and on听general principles of fair treatment. Disciplinary actions will take into account听the effect of the conduct on the victim and/or college community, the student鈥檚听disciplinary history, and/or whether disciplinary actions such as warnings or听probation are likely to change the student鈥檚 conduct. While every attempt will be听made to fairly and consistently administer its disciplinary procedures, 天美影院 will also听seek to be responsive to the facts and circumstances of each individual case. Some听disciplinary actions may be more punitive than others due to the seriousness of the听offense.

  Sanctions or dismissal of the student under this policy does not terminate the听student鈥檚 or guarantor鈥檚 obligation to meet his or her financial obligations to 天美影院.

  *This is intended to be a summary of 天美影院鈥檚 Student Conduct Policy and Disciplinary Procedures. The entire policy is published in the Student Handbook and includes a listing of 天美影院 personnel with authority for imposing disciplinary action and the process for student appeals.

  Accreditation – 天美影院 Institute of Technology is accredited by the 天美影院 Commission of Higher Education (formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the 天美影院 Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.).

  Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

  Accreditation by the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

  Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the Commission should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:
