Admission Requirements

Provisional Admissions (cont)

If the student on Provisional Status does not complete the required coursework in the four above-specified categories he or she will not receive a Bachelor’s Degree of Health Science or a Master’s Degree of Oriental Medicine. Upon such successful completion of all requirements, the student will be placed in Regular Student Status.

Should any student wish to apply for Provisional Status, he or she will be required to execute a written agreement encompassing the above conditions. It is certain that the student will be required to comply with all other requirements for admission and for continuation as a student.

Post-Admission Transfers

Course work taken at another institution after admission to the ATOM is not transferable unless students are required to retake a course to keep up with their Class Year at ATOM. Such courses must be approved in writing, in advance, by the President or the Academic Dean.

Transfer Policies

ATOM welcomes students who wish to transfer credits from other accredited schools. Courses for transfer credits must be equivalent to those offered at the Institute. Students must have their previous college(s) send a transcript which shows credits and grades directly to the ATOM. In addition, students must provide a syllabus for evaluation of the transfer course. A score of 70% or more is required in each course.

Students requesting transfer credit for a course equivalent to one offered at ATOM will be granted credit for the number of hours that the Institute’s course earns. A student may be asked to demonstrate knowledge and skills through examination in order to be granted credit. In addition, a transfer student is required to take Comprehensive Exams before he/she is enrolled in the designated class. A score of 70% or more on all these exams is required for credit.

At least one academic year at ATOM is required for the granting of an Institute diploma. Therefore, no more than two years of transfer credit can be accepted toward completion of the program.

Please Note: Transferability of ATOM credits is at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm if credits will be accepted by another institution.
