Attendance, Absences, and Make-Up Requirements
Students must be in attendance during all scheduled classroom and lab activities.
1. Students will not graduate unless they have completed all of the required subject materials of
the FAA approved curriculum (3000 hours – AMP) (2000 hours-AMT) (1000 hours-AVT)
(80 hours – AMC) and satisfied the Training and Enrollment agreement.
2. All absences, tardies and early departures are recorded in the Class Roster and the personal
file of the student.
3. A student is considered tardy when late from 1 to 10 minutes and/or when not present during
a scheduled roll call at the start of a session. More than 10 minutes late constitutes one hour
of absence. Three (3) tardies constitute ONE HOUR of absence. Students who accrue 5
tardies in any one term will be considered regularly tardy and will be charged one hour of
absence for every tardy!
4. Students may not advance from General to Powerplant nor from Powerplant to Airframe
until all subject material and class hours missed are made up satisfactorily unless determined
by the DOE, or Assistant DOE, that extenuating circumstances exist. This determination will
be made on a case by case basis but not to exceed 36 hours.
5. Making up hours missed is the responsibility of the student. The student is to contact their
instructor for make-up assignments in the subject material missed. When the time is made up
and assignment complete, both the make-up time sheet supplied and assignment sheets must
be submitted to the instructor for credit. No credit is given without proper documentation.
6. When a student accumulates absences of 14 hours, they will receive a verbal warning from

10. Students who must be absent to serve in the National Guard or Active Military Reserve will
be afforded the opportunity to make up time up to 2 weeks of absence and all subject
material missed over a 2 term time frame or repeat the subject area missed at no additional
cost.
11. Attendance is very important to the student for timely completion of the school curriculum
and it is also important to future employers as most recruiters in the aviation industry that
recruit from schools base some of their selection decisions on attendance.
Make-Up Time Charges

Students will be charged for all make-up hours as specificed in the Training and Enrollment
Agreement. Students who are absent due to illness, injury, or a death in their immediate family may
have make-up time charges waived by prompt notification to the Director of Education. Upon

Student Transfer Procedures (Add / Drop)
Upon application to NAA the prospective student is evaluated for specific program desires and
competencies. Once accepted and enrolled into NAA, the Education Department places the student
in accordance to his / her enrollment agreement. There are three approved aviation maintenance
programs and one approved certification program.
AVT - Avionics Technology - 1000 clock hours
AMT - Aviation Maintenance Technology - 2000 clock hours
AMP - Aviation Maintenance Professional - 3000 clock hours
AMC - Aviation Maintenance Certification - 80 clock hours (two weeks)
Students are enrolled into one of the approved programs. The AMP program is comprised of two
sections: AMT and AVT. Students will progress through the AMP curriculum in conjunction with
some students who are only enrolled in AMT and / or AVT. Because of the course design at NAA
students in the AMP program actually progress in the program by taking all of the subjects that
make up the AMT program, followed by the subjects in the AVT program. For students who have
extensive aviation maintenance experience and / or knowledge the order of the subjects can vary.
In the event a student wishes to add or drop certain subjects within a program the student will be
considered a Transfer student. There are currently two examples of Transfer students at NAA.
1. AMT program students who wish to Transfer into the AMP program.
2. AMP program students who wish to Transfer into the AMT program.
For all students wishing to transfer programs the decision should be made sooner than 12 months
following the students start date.
Students transferring in category 1 above may transfer by initiating the paperwork with the
Admissions Department. An Admissions interview will take place and students will meet with
Financial Aid to discuss their responsibilities, current award, and proposed award upon changing.
There are no possible financial penalties for this transfer. A transfer registration fee of $100.00 will
be billed to the students account.
Students transferring in category 2 above may transfer by initiating the paperwork with the
Education Department. An interview with several staff members will ensue to determine the reasons
why and to answer questions about the program that the student may have. Some reasons students
transfer in this manner include misunderstandings regarding the course descriptions and intended
outcomes. A Financial Aid interview will take place to discuss student’s responsibilities, current
award, and proposed award upon changing. An interview with the Business Office will take place to
discuss the contractual obligations of the student upon transferring. Student’s who transfer after
having completed 12 months of the current program may have a financial responsibility that is
higher than the AMT tuition. (See your executed Training & Enrollment Agreement for more
information)
Students transferring in category 2 above and that make the decision prior to completing 4th Term
will be held in the AMP program until the start of 5th Term. In the first week of 5th Term transfer
paperwork will be completed for those still wishing to transfer. This timing is designed to ensure
students make it through the subject areas that are requisite to AVT and that a full understanding of
the benefits of AMP is addressed. The timing is also designed to allow students to transfer out of the
AMP program before 12 months of attendance and so that no financial penalties are incurred.
Remember: Student’s who transfer after having completed 12 months of the current program may
have a financial responsibility that is higher than the AMT tuition. (See your executed Training &
13
Enrollment Agreement for more information) A $100.00 transfer registration fee is due during this
transfer process.
Student Records
Upon written request NAA will provide a transcript (fee charged) to a student that contains the
following information:
Description of course of study
Courses completed with grades attained
Clock hours attended
Dates of attendance
A student may request in writing that a transcript be forwarded to an employer (fee charged).
All official files and records of students are maintained in the Financial Aid Office and can only be
accessed by company personnel for official and company purposes. These files and records are
confidential and will not be disclosed for any purpose unless proper authorization is demonstrated.
*An “I” (Incomplete) grade will be issued for all subjects on official transcripts if the student has
any outstanding financial obligations and specific student records may not be released.
*Also see the section at the end of the Student Handbook speaking to student rights under FERPA.
Grading Standards, Written and Practical

Examinations are graded on a percentile basis and may be written or oral in presentation. Minimum
passing grade is 70%. The Grading Scale is as follows:
94 - 100 A Excellent Outstanding performance
87 - 93 B Very Good Better than average performance
79 - 86 C Average Fair to Good performance
70 - 78 D Poor Below average but still meets minimum passing requirements.
Below 70 F Failing A failing grade not meeting minimum requirements.
I Incomplete Requires make-up work or time before a grade can be assigned.
Written Examinations:
1. Subject Examination(s): Given following the completion of a subject.
2. School Finals: Given at completion of each section: General, Powerplant, and Airframe (AMT)
Term 1, Term 2, Term 3 (AVT)
Note: A School Final Exam will not be given to a student with an "I" grade in any section.
Practical assignments are divided into two categories:
1. Written Practical (i.e. Handouts requiring questions answered and referenced).
2. Hands-on Practical Projects (i.e. Performing safety-wiring, rigging a flight control, etc.)
Practical assignments are given to students for each subject and are graded using the following
criteria:
1. Written Practical Projects will use the same grading method as written examinations and will
receive an individual grade, and be recorded in the practical grade section of the student’s
record.
14
2. Hands-on Practical Projects will use a Pass/Fail method of grading for Level 2 projects only
and will be annotated in the practical project grade section of the student’s record.
3. Level 3 projects will be graded according to the following criteria:
100 AW Excellent
Outstanding performance (Airworthy)
90 AA Above Average
Better Than average performance (Above Average)
80 AC Average
Fair to Good performance (Acceptable)
70 RW Poor
Below average but still meets minimum passing requirements.
(Reworked)
I Incomplete
Requires make up work or time before a grade can be assigned.
The grade for Hands-On Practical Projects, listed below, will be taken into consideration for
determining the practical project grades:
1. Attitude
2. Use of tools and equipment
3. Use of reference materials and manuals
4. Quality of completed assignments
5. Proper disposition of maintenance forms and records
All successfully passed retake exams or reworked practical projects are recorded as a grade of 70.
Student Progress
To maintain satisfactory progress, the student must maintain passing grades for examinations and
assignments. When a grade lower than 70 is received, the student may be allowed a retake test if
approved by the Director of Education and the test is taken within five (5) school days, or as
directed by the Director of Education. The student may be allowed to re-take a failed test up to a
maximum of 3 times. If, after 3 re-take attempts the student has not achieved a passing grade of
70%, the student must repeat the subject.
If the student fails the retake examination, an "I" grade will be entered in the student records and the
Director of Education will determine the continuing status of the student.
An "I" (Incomplete) grade will be issued for:
1. Assignments not completed as scheduled
2. Examination(s) not taken as scheduled
3. A failing grade on a retake exam or assignment
Note: A student cannot take a final subject exam if an "I" grade exists.
When the average grade of a subject is less than 70, the subject must be repeated.
15
*An “I” (Incomplete) grade will be issued for all subjects on official transcripts if the student has
any outstanding financial obligations.
Three failed subjects in a term constitutes failure of the term and the student must repeat the failed
term.
Satisfactory Progress
Students must maintain the following standards of satisfactory progress to avoid termination from
the school and to continue to receive Title IV Financial Aid:
1. Students shall maintain a cumulative grade point average of no less than 70 in each term to
proceed to the next term. Failure to do so will result in loss of Financial Aid and will require
that the student repeat that term before proceeding to the next term.
Note: A term consists of approximately 10 curriculum weeks and will include 4 to 5
subjects during that term.
2. A grade of 70 shall be the minimum equivalent of a D average.
3. Satisfactory progress is evaluated at the end of each term.
4. Students must complete the requirements necessary to obtain their certificate within a
maximum time frame of one and one half (1 1/2) times the normal time required to obtain the
certificate. When applying the one and one half (1 1/2) standard to the program and the time
frame ends during a term, the student will then have until the end of that term to obtain the
certificate. After the maximum time frame has been reached, financial aid eligibility will
terminate. Veterans must complete the program within the VA approved time frame.
5. The school curriculum is divided into nine (9) terms-AMP, six (6) terms-AMT, and three (3)
terms-AVT. A student will not be allowed to graduate if the final grade in any subject is less
than 70 percent.
6. The school operates year-round and offers no special summer sessions that could affect the
maximum time frame.
7. The maximum number of hours to complete the program is 3000-AMP, 2000-AMT, and
1000-AVT.
8. Students may transfer credits from other FAA licensed schools. Credit is only given for
subjects successfully completed and documented. Students must pass an appropriate NAA
test to verify knowledge of subject area (see Advanced Standing/Transfer Students).
10. Students are considered to be making satisfactory progress and are permitted to continue in
school:
a. When a student repeats a program for any reason, grades earned in the repeated
program will be used in computing the students cumulative grade point average and
determining satisfactory progress.
b. Grades earned by transfer students at a previous institution and non-credit remedial
programs are not used in determination of satisfactory progress. Withdrawals,
incomplete and pass/fail grades are not used to calculate grade point averages but are
used to calculate minimum work completion standards.
11. A student may appeal to the Review Board any termination of financial aid. If the appeal is
approved, the student will continue in school with no loss of financial aid. However, in the
case of an appeal approved based on mitigating circumstances, the student will have one term
to correct the deficiencies. If the deficiencies are not corrected the student will be suspended
for one term.
12. The school maintains and monitors records of satisfactory progress on all students.
16
13. An instructor may ask for a counseling session between a student, instructor, and the
Director of Education to determine the continuance of a student.

Department.
Since its inception, NAA has been committed to maintaining a professional and stimulating learning
environment for our students. Consistent with that commitment NAA has a zero tolerance for drug
or alcohol abuse.
It is the responsibility of any student to notify NAA of any criminal drug statute conviction within
five (5) days of such conviction regardless of the nature or location of the violation.
If any student is taking medication prescribed by a licensed physician which may impair his or her
performance, the student will not be considered in violation of this policy. Nonetheless, they must
advise the Director of Education so that appropriate steps may be taken to insure the continuity of
the student's educational activities and safety of others.
Adherence to this drug and alcohol abuse policy is a condition of admission and continued
attendance at NAA and is applicable to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
In addition to any sanctions imposed by NAA, State and Federal drug statutes provide penalties
ranging from monetary fines and probation to imprisonment depending on the nature of the offense.
Drug and alcohol abuse will have far reaching negative consequences when applying for aviation
jobs. All students are urged to make a commitment to their personal and academic futures by
making a conscious decision to stay drug and alcohol free.
Conflict of Interest
The school expects each student to maintain a professional relationship with staff members.
Engaging in dating or intimate relationships with staff members is not permitted.
Probation, Suspension and Termination

A student may be placed on probation for unsatisfactory attendance, performance, progress or
conduct upon recommendation from their instructor or other faculty member.
While on probation a student must provide evidence of improvement in the area addressed or be
subject to suspension or termination.
A student will be placed on probation, suspension or termination for infractions of school policies.
Procedures of Probation:
1. A written warning is issued to the student.
2. If there are no improvements noted, the student is placed on probation by the Director of
Education.
3. If the condition(s) continue, the student is referred to the Review Board.
4. Continuation of infractions and/or lack of improvement of the condition(s) will result in
suspension or termination.
Student Complaint/Grievance Policy
19
NAA strives to provide the best training and learning environment. We will give every
consideration to a student complaint/grievance relating to any aspect of the educational program,
facilities, faculty, staff, or related services.
NAA will make every effort to informally resolve a student complaint/grievance. A student should
first discuss any complaint/grievance with his/her instructor in a confidential manner. If the student
does not feel that this is the appropriate forum or is not satisfied with the response, he/she should
discuss this with the Director of Education. The Director of Education will respond within three (3)
days what, if any, resolution is proposed or completed with concurrence by the President.
If the complaint/grievance is not resolved to the student’s satisfaction, the student may address
the complaint/grievance directly to:

Annual Notification of Rights under FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with
respect to their education records. These rights include:
35
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the
Academy receives a request for access.
A student should submit to the registrar, head of the academic department, or other appropriate
official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The Academy
official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the
records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the Academy official to whom the
request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the
request should be addressed.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student
believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under
FERPA.
A student who wishes to ask the Academy to amend a record should write the Academy official
responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and
specify why it should be changed.
If the Academy decides not to amend the record as requested, the Academy will notify the
student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing with the NAA Review Board
regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will
be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to provide written consent before the Academy discloses personally identifiable
information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent.
The Academy discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the
FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A
school official is a person employed by the Academy in an administrative, supervisory, academic
or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff);
a person or company with whom the Academy has contracted as its agent to provide a service
instead of using Academy employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee,
such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing
his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education
record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University.
(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged
failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the
