  • About NEIT

    New England Institute of Technology is a private, non-profit, technical university whose mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate degree programs for students from diverse educational backgrounds and with differing levels of ability. The university’s mission evolved from the principle that all persons, regardless of age, gender, disability, socioeconomic circumstances, religious, racial or ethnic background, should have access to career opportunities through a quality technical education. To achieve this purpose, NEIT is first and foremost an institution committed to teaching.

    For over eighty years, New England Institute of Technology has met the challenge of preparing its graduates to enter an increasingly competitive workplace. Founded in 1940 as the New England Technical Institute, the present university began as a certificate-granting trade school. In 1977, the Board of Regents of the State of Rhode Island granted the institution the authority to offer associate degrees. In 1984, in addition to associate degrees, the State of Rhode Island authorized NEIT to confer baccalaureate degrees and such other degrees, earned and honorary, as are usually conferred by colleges and universities in addition to its associate degree programs. In 2010, the university began enrolling students for its first Master of Science degree program, and in 2018, the university offered its first post-professional doctoral program.

    New England Institute of Technology is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.

    New England Institute of Technology has three campuses in Rhode Island, two in Warwick and a 220-acre campus in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, all a short distance south of the state’s capital, Providence.

    F 00.00 < 60 Failures may not be made up, except by repeating or, with permission, by passing the course at an approved institution. When a student repeats a course for which an “F” grade was received, both grades will appear on the transcript, but only the higher grade will be used in calculating the grade point average.
     W Received by students who officially withdraw from a course before the end of the “drop period.”
     P Satisfactory completion of a “Pass/Fail” course for credit.
     CH Challenge credit awarded as a result of passing a challenge exam.
     S Satisfactory completion of a non-credit course.
     U Unsatisfactory completion of a non-credit course.
    INC Incomplete – must be completed to meet graduation requirements.
     IPR In Progress – must be completed to meet graduation requirements.
     AU Audit indicates registration and attendance in a course for which no examinations, evaluation or credit are given.
     ML Military Leave, assigned to students who are called to active duty and must withdraw prior to the end of a term.
     PR Portfolio review credit awarded after assessment of student life experience portfolio.
     TR Transfer credit from another regionally accredited post-secondary institution.

     

    GRADE POINT AVERAGE

    Grade points are computed by multiplying the number of credit hours for the course by the weighted point value of the grade (see Grading System). Example: A grade of B+ (with a grade point value of 3.33) in Math 125, a four-credit course, is assigned 13.32 grade points, (3.33 x 4). The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of grade points achieved by number of credit hours of work completed.

    Courses for which transfer credit was awarded and courses with P, S, U, and W grades are not included in the GPA calculations.

    ACADEMIC PROBATION
    Academic probation is a provisional status given to a student who is not meeting the university’s requirements for academic achievement. A student who does not meet the university’s requirements for academic achievement (see “Required Levels of Achievement” below) will be placed on academic probation. A student who is placed on probation must meet with a student advisor in the Office of Student Support Services to discuss academic challenges and develop a plan to become academically successful.

    A student who has met the university’s requirements for academic achievement by the end of the probationary term will be taken off probation. An undergraduate or graduate student who has not met the university’s requirements for academic achievement at the end of the probationary term will remain on probation for a second term. A doctoral student who has not met the university’s requirements for academic achievement at the end of the probationary term will be dismissed.

    A student who has met the university’s requirements for academic achievement by the end of a second probationary term will be removed from probationary status if the student’s cumulative GPA meets the minimum requirements. A student who has had a successful academic term but whose cumulative progress does not meet the academic standards required by his/her program will remain on probation for an additional term. A student in a second probationary term who has not had a successful academic term and whose achievement does not meet the cumulative GPA university requirement will be dismissed from the university.

    Undergraduate students may not take more than 19 credits during their first probationary term and not more than 16 credits during their second probationary term. A student who is on academic probation must contact his/her student advisor to review and discuss the proper course load for the successive term.

    REQUIRED LEVELS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

    Any student who does not meet the following standards for the grade point average each term and/or for cumulative grade point average, will be on probation for the following term:

    Credits Completed End-of-Term GPA Cumulative GPA
    Certificate Program
    Practical Nurse 2.33 2.33
    Associate Degree Programs
    < 36 credits completed 1.0 1.7
    36-71 credits completed 1.0 1.8
    72 and above 2.0 2.0
    Bachelor’s Degree Programs 2.0 2.0
    Master’s Degree Programs 3.0 3.0
    Doctoral Degree Program 3.0 3.0

    *A 2.0 GPA is required for students if they intend to do the 2 additional terms to complete their A.S. Degree.

    Note: Students should check the Question and Answer portion of the curriculum document issued at the time of enrollment for their respective programs to determine specific criteria (e.g., grades and/or cumulative grade point average) necessary to remain in good academic standing in that program. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to maintain an awareness of any changes in criteria that would affect a student’s enrollment status.

    Appeal of Dismissal

    A student who has been dismissed because his/her poor academic achievement and/or failure to meet university requirements may appeal the dismissal by filling out a petition in the Office of Teaching and Learning. Consideration will be given to extenuating circumstances that led to poor academic achievement. Students who successfully appeal a dismissal will be placed on second probation.

  • Accreditation

    Public Comment Notice

    New England Institute of Technology is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.

    Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

    Accreditation by the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

    Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the Commission should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact: New England Commission of Higher Education 301 Edgewater Place, Suite 210, Wakefield, MA 01880 781-425-7785 E-Mail: [email protected]

    Financial Aid Awarding Policy
    NEIT takes into consideration all financial sources when awarding aid to eligible applicants. For the purpose of this policy, “aid” includes grants, loans, and scholarships of any form.

    If, after initial awards have been made, a student receives aid which brings his or her total aid package above the “cost of attendance” (the total amount it is determined it will cost a student to attend NEIT), NEIT will re-assign some of the funds awarded to the student.

    It is the intention of this policy to ensure that aid resources are made available to as many students as possible.

    Federal Student Financial Aid Penalties for Drug Law Violations – Students are advised that a conviction for any offense, during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving Title IV, HEA program funds, under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs will result in the loss of eligibility for any Title IV, HEA grant, loan, or work-study assistance.

  • Campus Setting

    New England Institute of Technology has its main campus in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, with two other locations in nearby Warwick, Rhode Island.

    New England Tech’s newest campus at One New England Tech Boulevard, East Greenwich, RI, covers over 200 acres and currently features a completely renovated 265,000 square foot educational facility. Among many of its features include specialized laboratories offering students the opportunity to work with equipment found in industry; video laboratories featuring HD equipment; a nursing simulation lab, complete with computerized talking mannequins; and a new 17,250 sq. ft. library with sixty (60) personal computers for individual use, and high tech collaboration rooms allowing students to connect up to six laptop computers and display the information on their laptop to a large screen within the work space.

    The Julian B. Gouse Campus, located at 2500 Post Road, in Warwick, Rhode Island, features a newly renovated 57,000 square foot facility containing classroom and laboratory space. The Gouse Campus is named after the late trustee and benefactor of the university. Julian B. Gouse was a member of the original Board of Directors of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools; a trustee of New England Institute of Technology; and, for twenty years, president of one of America’s leading technical schools, Massachusetts Trade Shop School.

    The nearby Access Road Campus consists of four buildings, containing more than 114,000 square feet of office, classroom, and laboratory space featuring a custom-designed 53,000 square-foot facility dedicated exclusively to the training of automotive technicians which opened in April 2005. The Access Road Campus receives power from a 156 foot wind turbine, an array of 135 solar panels, and is heated and cooled by a geothermal system.

    All buildings on the East Greenwich, Gouse, and Access Road Campuses were either originally designed or extensively remodeled to serve the institutional needs of the university, its mission and purposes. Laboratories have been conceived for the technology of the 21st century and they equal or surpass industry standards. Spacious and well-lighted, many of these combined classroom/laboratories have been custom-built to faculty and staff specifications. These facilities integrate computers into a highly functional setting for the technological training that is necessary to prepare students for successful applications in the workplace.

    The university requires that all students be prepared to take classes and receive services at any of NEIT’s locations where the appropriate classes and services are offered. It is not possible for a student to take an entire program including liberal arts courses at the Access Road Campus.

After completing the first degree, students may pursue a second associate or bachelor’s degree by completing a minimum of 34 additional credits from courses specific to the major of the second degree program. The additional credits can include major-specific courses in the second degree program and any technical electives approved by the Department Chair. Technical electives must be relevant to the second field of study. Liberal arts courses may only be included as part of the additional credits if they are required core courses not already completed in the first degree program.

    At the master’s degree level, students must complete a minimum of 15 additional credits and other requirements specific to the second degree program, after completing the first degree for which they enrolled.

    All requests to pursue a dual degree must be approved by the Office of Teaching and Learning. Before registering for a second degree at the same academic level, students must meet with Admissions and Student Accounts.

    NEIT reserves the right to refuse admission to any student for any reason other than race, color, religious belief, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national or ethnic origin, age, or disability.

  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

    As an institution primarily devoted to teaching, NEIT provides opportunities for students from diverse educational backgrounds and with varying levels of ability to study in a variety of technological fields in a safe environment that fosters the intellectual and personal development of its students. NEIT’s goal is to accept all students who meet the university’s entrance requirements without regard to race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, or any other criterion specified by federal, state or local laws and to provide an inclusive campus environment where all students feel welcome and equally treated.

  • Educational Philosophy

    New England Institute of Technology is a private, non-profit, technical university whose mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate degree programs for students from diverse educational backgrounds and with differing levels of ability. The university’s mission evolved from the principle that all persons, regardless of age, gender, disability, socioeconomic circumstances, religious, racial or ethnic background, should have access to career opportunities through a quality technical education. To achieve this purpose, NEIT is first and foremost an institution committed to teaching.

    At NEIT, we believe and affirm that every student can learn; we recognize that different students may learn in different ways with differing levels of ability; and we recognize the importance of creating a learning environment in each classroom and laboratory that both challenges and supports each of our students.

    Definition of an Educated Person

    The New England Institute of Technology philosophy of education described in its Educational Philosophy is embraced firmly by faculty and staff. This philosophy is guided and sustained by the NEIT Statement of Mission and Objectives. It is intrinsic to the culture of the university and it is manifest in how and what the faculty teach and in what they expect of NEIT graduates as educated persons.

    NEIT’s graduates achieve technical competence, and develop the values and standards of professional and ethical behavior that can serve them well in both the workplace and in our democratic society. These values include responsible citizenship, an appreciation of and respect for cultural diversity, and an informed world-view.

    NEIT anticipates that its graduates know how to observe and to read carefully, to analyze and evaluate facts and ideas, to reach valid and well-supported conclusions, and to communicate clearly. The university expects also that its graduates appreciate other fields of knowledge—science, the arts and humanities, and the social sciences—and that they are able to integrate what they have learned from these subjects within their technical and professional fields.

    The faculty strive to instill in their students the belief that knowledge coupled with experience leads to wisdom, and that education does not end with a degree, but continues throughout one’s lifetime. In the process, NEIT graduates may discover the joy to be found in learning, the hallmark of an educated person.

  • Student Conduct

    Rules and regulations for student conduct

    STUDENTS’ RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    University policies, rules, and procedures setting forth student rights and responsibilities are published in the catalog and the Student Handbook. It is the student’s responsibility to review these publications. Copies of the most recent versions of these publications are available on the New England Tech Student Home Page https://students.neit.edu/.

    Student Conduct

    It is expected that each member of the university community will responsibly participate in a cooperative learning experience. To ensure the success of this experience, the university requires a community which encourages mutual respect. Students who have concerns of any kind are urged to consult immediately with an appropriate member of the university community. Students who are unclear as to who may best resolve their concerns should consult the Office of Student Support Services. This office will refer the student to the appropriate department and will assist the student as necessary.

    Students who have conflicts involving staff, other students, academic matters or any other aspect of their university experience should follow the procedures outlined in the Student Handbook entitled “Student Conflict Resolution Procedure.”

    Any student who feels he/she was unfairly disciplined or dismissed may petition in writing as published in the Student Conduct Policy and Disciplinary Procedures as described below.

    Student Conduct Policy and Disciplinary Procedures 

    It is a major objective at NEIT to protect and preserve the quality of the educational environment for everyone. This objective entails two basic expectations:

    a. That the NEIT community expects high standards of courtesy, integrity, and responsibility from all of its members.
    b. That each student is responsible for his/her conduct, and that continuation as a student is conditional upon compliance with the requirements expressed or implied in this policy.

    University officials are charged with the welfare of all students. It is in this regard that NEIT reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of the campus community.

    Disregard on the part of the student for the university’s rules, regulations or policies, or exhibition of behavior by a student, on- or off-campus, that in the sole judgment
    of university officials demonstrates a serious lack of respect for other members of the campus community or that could be considered a potential safety threat to the campus community, may require the immediate application of sanctions or disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

    It is neither possible nor necessary to specify every instance of misconduct that could result in sanctions, disciplinary action or dismissal from the university. Grounds for sanctions, disciplinary action or dismissal include but are not limited to: the use, possession or sale of intoxicating beverages on campus; the use, possession or sale of illegal drugs on campus; gambling on campus; insubordination; nonpayment of financial obligations; the unauthorized use of school equipment including computers and computer systems; academic dishonesty; plagiarism; violation of copyright laws; assault; harassment; disruptive, disorderly or indecent behavior; serious criminal offenses; or failure to exhibit the highest quality of behavior, good citizenship and respect for the campus community, both on- and off-campus.

    Disciplinary action is based upon the nature and severity of the matter and on general principles of fair treatment. Disciplinary actions will take into account the effect of the conduct on the victim and/or college community, the student’s disciplinary history, and/or whether disciplinary actions such as warnings or probation are likely to change the student’s conduct. While every attempt will be made to fairly and consistently administer its disciplinary procedures, NEIT will also seek to be responsive to the facts and circumstances of each individual case. Some disciplinary actions may be more punitive than others due to the seriousness of the offense.

    Sanctions or dismissal of the student under this policy does not terminate the student’s or guarantor’s obligation to meet his or her financial obligations to NEIT.

    *This is intended to be a summary of NEIT’s Student Conduct Policy and Disciplinary Procedures. The entire policy is published in the Student Handbook and includes a listing of NEIT personnel with authority for imposing disciplinary action and the process for student appeals.

  • Student Consumer Information

    The School Disclosure Requirements of the United States Department of Education require colleges annually to distribute to all enrolled students a notice of the availability of information that is required to be made available to students.   In compliance with this requirement, New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) is distributing this document to each enrolled student.

    For each targeted area, the document includes a brief description; the office address where the information may be found; and a phone number.  It is NEIT’s intention to provide you with easy and complete access to any information you need as a student.  Please feel free to contact any of the offices indicated at any time.

    Accreditation – New England Institute of Technology is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.).

    Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

    Accreditation by the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

  • Transfer of Credit

    Requirements and procedures and policies related to the transfer of credit

    The transferability of NEIT credits to other institutions is determined by the institution to which the student transfers. An institution’s accreditation cannot guarantee that credits earned at that institution will be accepted for transfer by any other institution.

    A student who wishes to transfer credits to another college should consult his or her department chair and the Office of Teaching and Learning. Any college to which a student may wish to transfer will evaluate transfer credit on an individual basis, taking into consideration such matters as the student’s performance and the field the student wishes to enter. Graduates of NEIT associate degree programs have successfully transferred to bachelor’s programs at a number of colleges and universities.

    Admission with Advanced Standing

    Applicants may be admitted with advanced standing at the discretion of the Office of Teaching and Learning. Consideration is given to the following:

    1. Credits from an accredited post-secondary institution. An official transcript must be submitted to the Office of Teaching and Learning. Academic credit will be given only to courses in which a student earned a “C” or above (transfer credit). A grade of “B” or above is required for transfer of credits for the Master of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy.
    2.  Credits through CLEP and challenge exams (challenge credit authorized by department chairs or the Director of Academic Skills).
    3. Credit may be extended for past work experience which represents college-level skills or competencies and can be properly documented, verified, and related to educational objectives through the submission of a portfolio (portfolio review credit).
