WITHDRAWAL & GRIEVANCE POLICY
PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL
A student may voluntarily withdraw from the program by submitting a written request. Any student who completes 30% of the program and officially withdraws from it will receive a zero (0) for the program. The last date the student attended class will be used for calculation.
CONDITIONS FOR RE-ENROLLMENT FOLLOWING WITHDRAWAL OR DISMISSAL
Any student requesting readmission following a dismissal related to poor attitude, offensive behavior, unsafe work habits, drug/alcohol possession or use, possession of weapons, or violence toward any staff member or fellow student will be denied reentry.
Any student requesting readmission following dismissal/withdrawal for academic or non-academic (i.e., health challenges, family issues, or other personal) matters must begin the process by submitting a written letter of request for reentry, addressing the circumstances leading to the dismissal/withdrawal and any changes that have occurred to warrant a successful return to IAI programming. IAI is not obliged to grant such requests. The letter must be submitted to the Executive Director for initial review.
Suppose a student is approved to re-enter the program. In that case, they must meet with the Executive Director and Instructor(s) to discuss a reinstatement plan that outlines the criteria requirements for participation.
In general, any reentry plan will require that the dismissed student demonstrate readiness and ability to return to IAI coursework and lab training. If a student receives reentry approval, they may be enrolled in the next available program start date. If an application is denied, there will be no opportunity to appeal a denial. No further applications for reentry will be considered if you are academically dismissed or withdraw for a second time.
