Classroom work and lectures are conducted from 9:00am until
1:30pm and from 6:00pm until 10:30pm for day and night classes,
respectively. The classes are held Monday through Thursday
for a period of nine months.
Requirements for Graduation
Upon graduation, students will receive a diploma stating
the completion of the training program. In order to graduate,
the student must have satisfactorily mastered all of the courses
of study, passed all final exams, paid all tuition and fees
in full, and complied with the rules and regulations of the
school.
Placement Assistance
Although no direct placement is guaranteed, a current
list of employment opportunities is available. The file and
advisement services are available to all MBI students and graduates.
Currently our graduates are employed in private practice,
hospitals, doctors' offices, chiropractic offices, physical
therapy clinics, day spas, hair salons, nail salons, gyms,
resorts and massage therapy establishments.
Grading System
Student progress in each course of the curriculum will be
assessed by regular examinations given throughout the program.
The grade received on any written examination will be determined
by the following scale:
A 90%-100% 4
B 80%-89% 3
C 70%-79% 2
D 69%-below 0
Any student falling below a 70 (C)
average will be notified in writing of being placed on
academic probation and required to see a staff advisor. If grades do not rise
above a 75 by the end of one month, the student will
be dismissed from the program. Students must make a passing
grade in all courses or equivalent assignments in order to
receive a diploma from the Mind Body Institute. In
addition to written examinations, courses of instruction in
massage also require a student to pass a practical examination
designed to ascertain the student's ability to actually perform
the skills associated with this form of therapy. The
student's performance on these practical examinations will also be
given a letter grade based upon grading credits established
for each exam. Transfer of credits earned at MBI is determined
by the institute receiving the student transcripts. Authorization
by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission does not guarantee
transferability.
Satisfactory Progress
Progress will be checked at 25%, 50% and program completion.
In order to maintain satisfactory progress, students must
maintain a grade of 70 (C) in each course of instruction.
There are no incompletes or remedial courses. Tests must be
taken on the day they are scheduled.

Attendance

class or will be late. Students will be considered tardy after
class begins. Tardiness in excess of 15 minutes late will be
considered a one hour absence. Authorized absences occur when a
student is absent for reasons beyond their control such as:
personal illness in immediate family, death, sickness, or
accident. Completion of classes must occur within 10 school days
of absence. There is a $30 per class charge for any makeup classes
payable to the instructor.
