I. Introduction

NMI has created policies & procedures to set the expectations, rights, and responsibilities of students, faculty and staff.

Policy Development and implementation is a continuous and evolutionary process. It should be anticipated that additional policies and procedures will be added to this page and existing policies will be modified or abandoned as needs and circumstances require. To maintain its usefulness, changes to this page will be made as policies and procedures are revised, added, or removed.

II. Organization of Policies

This Policies and Procedures page contains operative NMI policies adopted by the organization in eight major areas. The policies and procedures posted here supersede prior policies and procedures.

The policies and procedures are grouped into the following classifications:

1. Complaints & Grievance

2. Curricula

3. Facilities, Equipment, Supplies & Resources

4. Faculty

5. Governance & Administration

6. Mission, Program Goals & Assessment

7. Student Affairs

8. Student Services

Each policy is assigned an identification number within the appropriate classification series. The pages of each policy, and any related procedures, are numbered. Inquiries about policies and procedures and interpretations as to their applicability should be directed to the Executive Director.
