At the end of the program, each student receives an official transcript listing each subject taught, the

classroom and credit hours, instructor, course completion status and program completion status. These transcripts are maintained in the student’s permanent file, and also filed in our data base. Students may request a copy of their academic records at any time from the Education Administrator.

The Ayurvedic Institute does not currently accept credits from any other school or institution, nor are credits from our institute accepted by any other known school. Occasionally another

school with a curriculum which includes independent study has accepted a portion of our student’s credits, depending upon the specific circumstances.

No personal audio or video taping is allowed in class.
No cameras, computers, cell phones, or audio pagers may be used in the classroom.

Any student who has a working knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology or Pathophysiology may request to be exempt from that course and will need to provide official written proof of:

1) current professional work in a medical discipline actively using knowledge of A & P or Pathophysiology, or

Students with complaints or grievances regarding the Ayurvedic Institute should first seek to resolve their complaint or grievance directly with the instructor or manager of the department involved. If this does not resolve the issue, they should bring it up with the Administrator. The Administrator will assign a manager of the Ayurvedic Institute, who is not directly involved in the area of the complaint, to investigate. This person will respond to the student between three and 10 days from the date of notification to the Administrator and report his/her findings to the Administrator as well.

If a complaint or grievance cannot be resolved within the school, the New Mexico Higher Education Department (NMHED) may be contacted at 2048 Galisteo Street, Santa Fe, NM 87505; phone (505) 476-6500. There will be no adverse action taken against the student for registering the complaint. We welcome all suggestions for improvement.
