Grading & Reentrance

Grading

A cumulative passing grade of at least 75% (GPA) is required for each trimester.

If a student’s scores are less than passing for a given unit, it is the FULL

RESPONSIBILITY of the student to request assistance/extra credit from an ASM

faculty member (a fee of $25 is paid to the faculty member at time of service).

Progress reports will be given 3-4 weeks before the end of each trimester.

All manual and practical tests must receive a passing grade of at least 75%. If a

student does not pass a test, he or she must contact their instructor (or an

administrator) to schedule a time to retake the test within 10 days of the original

testing date.

If a failing student’s GPA can not be rectified within 15 days of a completed

course, he or she will be asked to resign from the program.

Reentrance

Students wishing to reenter after resigning from our program must go through the

enrollment process again to be considered for reentrance in the next year of

classes. Students may then test out of previously completed portions of the

program if they wish to do so.

Student Clinic

Student Clinic Scheduling & Requirements

ASM requires students to complete 80 hours of participation in the on-site Student Clinic.

Students will be able to request available hours in the student clinic after the completion of their

30 Friends & Family Massage-Hours and the successful completion of their Pathology unit.

Available Clinic hours will be listed after the beginning of the 2nd Trimester. Students must turn

in a clinic hour request form to be reviewed by the student clinic supervisor. Request forms will

be reviews in the order they were received. Once reviewed, the request form with their approved

hours will be returned to the student. It is then the full responsibility of the student to complete

all approved clinic hours.

Students are required to be on location and ready for their assigned hours 15 minutes prior to

their scheduled start. If a student is on location less than 5 minutes prior to the start of their

scheduled time block, 1 HOUR of attendance will be docked from their attendance log. If a

student arrives to student clinic after the start time of a scheduled massage appointment, the

student will be docked a full 3 HOURS from their attendance log. If a student no-shows for a

scheduled student clinic block, he or she will be docked a full 7 HOURS from their attendance

log.

Students may arrange for another student to cover a block of their scheduled student clinic hours

with the approval of an administrator if need be.

Receiving Tips

Although students completing their required Student Clinic hours are not financially

compensated by ASM, students may receive tips in the form of cash or check from clients. Tips

are not handled by Adrian School of Massage in any way, and any tax implications are the full

responsibility of the student.

Student Clinic Dress Code

Students performing their clinic hours are required to wear black pants (scrubs, loose slacks, or

modest yoga pants are acceptable), and either a blank polo, scrub top, or an ASM t-shirt. Close-

toe shoes and the absence of any strong scents or perfumes is also required.

(All other ASM Dress/Hygiene requirements remain in effect as well.)

standards, an administrator may schedule a meeting with the student to discuss a resolution.

Each student may have 2 dress code violations before being dismissed due to dress code. In the

event of an extreme violation, immediate dismissal may be necessary. Dismissed students are
