^ TOP |
New Mexico Military Institute maintains a chapter of the junior college honor society Phi Theta Kappa. Election to the society rewards academic excellence and provides additional opportunities for leadership training. Junior college cadets carrying a full academic load, possessing recognized qualities of citizenship, and holding a 3.25 cumulative GPA in nonremedial courses will meet the minimum qualifications for membership. A or B in deportment.
National Honor Society (High School)
|
^ TOP |
The National Honor Society Chapter enables the faculty to select and recognize those members of the 10th, 11th and 12th grades who are outstanding scholars and leaders. Each cadet chosen has demonstrated academic ability, leadership, character, and service to his/her peers. Naturally, the honor becomes more difficult to attain as the student matures and course work becomes more difficult. Thus, membership at the 12th grade level is a major criterion for acceptance by leading colleges. National Honor Society selection at NMMI requires a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA.
National German Honor Society (High School)
|
^ TOP |
The National German Honor Society, Delta Epsilon Phi, enables the faculty to select and recognize those students enrolled in German classes at NMMI who have demonstrated high scholastic attainment in the study of German. Participation in the national education honorary fraternity promotes interest in the study of the German language, literature, culture, and civilization. Selection at NMMI requires a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA, 3.60 in German courses at NMMI, and demonstrated interest in cocurricular or extracurricular German learning activities.
US Academy Preparation (Prep) Program
|
^ TOP |
NMMI participates as a receiving school for the service academy preparatory programs. The Associations’ of Graduates from the Air Force, US Military Academy, and the Naval Academy sponsor qualified students to attend NMMI for one year and participate fully in both the academic program and the Corps of Cadets. Additionally, the SEAGRITS program sponsors students to attend NMMI for a year prior to being appointed to the Coast Guard Academy. NMMI also supports a similar program with the Merchant Marine Academy. Following a successful year at NMMI, these cadets receive appointments to the academies.
Academic Suspension, Suspension, Withdrawal and/or Dismissal Policy
|
^ TOP |
While in attendance at NMMI a grade point average of 2.00 is required of all cadets in order to maintain “good academic standing.” Any NMMI cadet whose GPA falls below 1.50 at the end of a semester may be suspended. Any NMMI cadet whose GPA falls below 1.75 at the end of a semester is placed on Academic Probation. The cadet then has one more semester in which to attain a GPA of 1.75 or better. Failing to do so, may result in academic suspension. An entering new cadet whose GPA for the previous semester or whose cumulative GPA for all secondary schooling does not meet the normal admissions criterion of 2.00 for college and at least 2.25 for high school may be admitted conditionally, (AP). Such a cadet must attain a GPA of 1.75 in the first semester at NMMI. Failing to do so, the cadet’s overall record will be reviewed by the Academic Review Board and academic suspension may result.
Suspended cadets (academic or deportment) may apply for readmission to the Institute after one full semester; however, dismissed cadets may not. A cadet who has been placed on suspension may apply for permission to enroll at NMMI after a break of at least one semester. The application for readmission must include evidence that the cadet’s record has improved to the extent that success at NMMI is highly probable.
The Registrar will report a cadet’s conditional admission and enrollment or probationary status to the cadet, the cadet’s parents, advisor, and the Dean.
A cadet whose name has been published in the Daily Status Report under the category of Dismissed, Suspended, Withdrawn or “Drop From Rolls” is not permitted to take final examinations nor participate in any further academic assignments. Cadets who have been suspended must regain “good standing” within the academic division (college or high school) from which they departed before they may be permitted to participate in challenge examinations and/or be awarded a diploma or degree. Normally a cadet regains “good standing” after the application for enrollment has been approved by the Admissions Committee and the cadet attends academic classes for a semester. Enrollment in NMMI summer classes does not constitute reenrollment. However, a cadet, otherwise eligible to return to NMMI at any time, may regain “good standing” upon the recommendation of the Commandant (if deportment) or the Academic Dean (if academic) with the approval of the Superintendent/President.
Final grades and suspension policy. Cadets must complete the last scheduled day of classes and if suspended/dismissed on or before that day they will receive a WP/WF (college) or W (high school) on their transcript. High school cadets will receive withdrawal grades for the gaining school to use for transfer. If the cadet is suspended after the last day of classes (1515 hours), but before or during finals the cadet will receive a final grade for the class computed with a zero grade for finals not yet completed. Any cadet suspended or dismissed prior to graduation will not graduate with his/her class and can only graduate if he/she regains status as a cadet in good standing (suspensions only).
Cadets who complete all course requirements, including final exams, will receive letter grades on their transcripts for all courses so completed. However, if a cadet completes all work toward a high school diploma or associate degree but is dismissed or suspended just prior to graduation for disciplinary reasons, that cadet will not receive the diploma, nor degree nor take part in graduation. The transcript will be annotated “Met NMMI requirements for graduation. Diploma not awarded. Cadet withdrew.”
For cadets in the military who withdraw due to a military emergency (national defense purposes) the following conditions apply. Nongraduating cadets with- drawing prior to the 12th week of classes will receive a “W” and a full refund of all tuition and fees. Nongraduating cadets withdrawing after the 12th week will receive full credit for the course if they have earned a letter grade of “C” or better. For classes where the grade is below a “C”, the cadet will receive a “W” grade and a refund of that fee. Graduating cadets who have completed at least nine weeks of work with a grade of “C” or better may be eligible for graduation, if their work, all other academic work, Corps requirements and financial requirements are complete at the time of withdrawal. |
