Academic Requirements

Academic Terms BACK
The following are definitions of academic terms used at the INHS:
Class: A class is a sequence of planned learning experiences leading to a set of expected learning outcomes. Such a series of planned learning experiences and outcomes are normally scheduled over an academic year or during a concentrated shorter period of time. Successful completion of a class results in the awarding of an academic grade, which measures the student’s success in achieving the expected outcomes. A class also routinely includes tests, quizzes, a final examination and regular out-of-class assignments.
Certificate of Achievement: A certificate of achievement consists of completion of a class with a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average.
A student may obtain credit for certain classes at the discretion of an instructor and the INHS president by passing a comprehensive examination.
Credit will be given for classes transferred from accredited institutions, if the grade earned was a 2.0, or better. The grades of transferred classes will not be computed with the INHS grades.
The following criteria are used to evaluate class credits from non-accredited
institutions:
1. The student demonstrates skills commensurate with the performance required for satisfactory completion of an existing class at the INHS.
2. The content, goals and objectives of a particular class will be compared with a corresponding class at the INHS. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the materials necessary to conduct a proper evaluation.
3. The student must demonstrate proficiency in the content of an existing INHS class by taking and passing a comprehensive examination.
