GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction

Island Drafting and Technical Institute was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the Engineering, Architectural, Computer and Electronic fields. Our aim is to graduate students well-trained and technically qualified, so that they may enter their chosen field or to continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. The wisest investment one can make is in education, and with your help, we will make every effort to prepare you well for a challenging and rewarding career in the Drafting, Electronics, CADD, Computers and related fields. The school was established and licensed in June 1957 by Mr. Joseph P. Di Liberto. The management and ownership has been in the Di Liberto family to the present time. Originally the school’s name was Aircraft Trade School and was under the sole ownership of Mr. Di Liberto. The first students were enrolled in June 1957. In June 1959, the school incorporated and at that time the school name was changed to Island Drafting School and Island Drafting School, Inc., a New York State corporation was formed. In March 1973, the name of the school and corporation was amended to Island Drafting and Technical Institute, Inc. The school was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited by NATTS. The school was subsequently re-accredited in October, 1971; October, 1976; October, 1982; October, 1988, October 1993, February 1999, February 2004, February 2009, and February 2014. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies Degree. Under this authorization, the Institute is approved to offer programs in Computer Aided Drafting and Design - Mechanical and Computer Aided Drafting and Design - Architectural.

Refund Policy

A student or prospective student may cancel or terminate his/her enrollment at anytime. The termination date for refund computation purposes is the last date of actual attendance. Written notice of cancellation may be made by regular mail (certified mail is recommended) or hand carried to the College. Such notice must be signed by the student (and also by the parent or guardian if the student is not 18 years of age.) Rejection: If an applicant for enrollment is rejected by the College, all monies paid by the applicant will be refunded. Island Drafting and Technical Institute, Inc. reserves the right to reject any applicant for admission without giving reason for such action. Institutional Refund Policy: Cancellation and Termination: If the student or prospective student has not yet entered into instruction, he/she may cancel the Enrollment Agreement, at no penalty, by notifying the College in writing within three (3) days after midnight of the day on which the Enrollment Agreement is signed. If cancellation occurs prior to the first day of instruction, the College will retain a $100.00 Administrative Fee and charges for all books, kits, and supplies that have been accepted and received by the student. Applicants who have not visited the school facility prior to enrollment will have the opportunity to withdraw without penalty within three days following either attendance at a regularly scheduled orientation or following a tour of the school facilities and inspection of equipment.

Program Withdrawal After Commencement of Classes: The date of withdrawal will be considered the last day of physical attendance. Any monies paid to the college in excess of the sum due the college will be refunded within 30 days after notification in writing. In the event that such notification is not given in writing, refunds shall be made within 30 days from the date that the college determines that the student withdrew. In computing refunds, the college will consider the student to have been in attendance from the start date until the last date of physical attendance. Refunds are calculated based upon semester(s) and/or portions thereof completed. If the student withdraws or is discontinued after instruction has begun, the college will refund tuition in accordance with the following schedule:

1st week 90% 6th week 60% 2nd week 85% 7th week 50% 3rd week 80% 8th week 40% 4th week 70% 9th week 40% 5th week 60% No Refund Thereafter

14

The College will also retain from withdrawing students an Administration Fee equal to the lesser of 5% of the total institutional charges or $100.00. Federal Title IV recipients who owe a portion of the term's tuition and fees charged from their own resources must expend those funds before federal funds are allocated or refunded. Further details can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office. Any refund due will be refunded first to the student's loans and grants accounts and then to the student. In the event the College cancels or delays the program start date by more than 4 weeks, all tuition and deposit fees will be refundable. RETURN TO TITLE IV For any Title IV federal financial aid recipient terminating their program of study after entering the institution, the statutory Return of Title IV Fund Policy will be implemented. This policy will calculate the amount of financial aid funds earned by the student during their payment period in accordance with 34 CFR 668.22 of the Federal regulations. A student may cancel or terminate his/her enrollment at anytime. The Withdrawal Date for refund computation purposes is the last date of actual attendance as per she school’s attendance records. The date of withdrawal will be considered the last day of physical attendance. Written notice of cancellation may be made by regular mail (certified mail is recommended) or hand carried to the College. Such notice must be signed by the student (and also by the parent or guardian if the student is not 18 years of age.) The school’s Determination Date for R2T4 will be within 14 days of the student’s Withdrawal Date or student’s official notification to the school Island Drafting and Technical Institute will calculate the amount of Title IV aid that was earned based on a payment period basis within 30 days from the Determination Date. The college will determine:

1. The Title IV aid disbursed or that could have been disbursed 2. The percentage of Title IV aid earned by the student. 3. The amount of Title IV aid earned by the student. 4. The total Title IV aid to be returned or disbursed as a post withdrawal disbursement. 5. The amount of unearned Title IV aid to be returned by the school 6. The amount of unearned Title IV aid to be returned by the student.

This policy will calculate the amount of financial aid funds earned by the student during their payment period as follows:

# of calendar days completed by student

total # of calendar days in term The total number of calendar days in a term excludes any scheduled breaks of 5 days or more.

15

Students completing more than the 60% point in the payment period have earned 100% of the Federal Title IV funds scheduled during the period. Once this has been calculated, the school will determine if all eligible aid had been disbursed as of the withdrawal date. If not, and the student meets the federal criteria for a Post Withdrawal Disbursement (PWD), the student will be notified of their eligibility within 30 days of the Date of Determination. After being notified of PWD eligibility, students must reply within 14 days if they wish to accept any or all of the post withdrawal disbursement. A PWD would first be used toward any outstanding charges before any funds are returned to the student. The return of any unearned Federal Title IV funds will be processed within 45 days from the student’s withdrawal date. The order in which funds are returned is determined by the U.S. Department of Education and is as follows:

1. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan 2. Federal Direct Subsidized Loan 3. Federal Parent Loan 4. Federal Pell Grant 5. Federal SEOG 6. Other Title IV Programs

Island Drafting and Technical Institute will then calculate the Institutional Refund policy as outlined above. The student will be obligated for any tuition, fees, books or equipment not covered by Title IV funds. Students are also responsible for any aid proceeds received in the form of a refund for which they are no longer eligible.

VA Pending Payment Compliance In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), this school adopts the following additional provisions for any students using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA. This school will not:

• Prevent nor delay the student’s enrollment; • Assess a late penalty fee to the student; • Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding; • Deny the student access to any resources available to other students who have satisfied their

tuition and fee bills to the institution, including but not limited to access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities.

However, to qualify for this provision, such students may be required to: • Produce the Certificate of Eligibility by the first day of class; • Provide written request to be certified; • Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other

institutional policies.

16

FINANCIAL AID Island Drafting and Technical Institute is committed to providing educational opportunities for all qualified students regardless of financial need. A wide variety of financial aid programs makes it possible for even the neediest student to gain a college education. The college offers institutional scholarships and participates in Federal and State financial aid programs, including grants and loans. The amount of money available is based upon the student's financial need, which is determined by subtracting the amount of the family's resources available for college expenses from the estimated cost of attending the college. In order to meet a student's financial need, the financial aid administrator may suggest a package of aid that includes a combination of a grant, a part-time job, and a loan. Financial need for all programs--State, Federal, and institutional--is measured by a comprehensive financial statement, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The college will defer any tuition payments due from a student upon application by the student for a grant or loan for the expected amount. Funds received by the college on behalf of a student will first be applied towards the student's tuition. After the student's tuition is paid in full, he/she will receive whatever balance remains. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid at least eight weeks before the beginning of the term in order that the funds will be available in the first month. Students will receive their payments within one month of the college's receipt of the funds. Application Procedures

All new students should contact the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible after admission. Application for all aid programs is made by filing a single document, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available from the high school or directly from the Island Drafting and Technical Institute financial aid office. The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for the Federal Pell grant and to determine family contribution for a Guaranteed Student Loan. It is also used to determine eligibility for New York State aid through the Tuition Assistance Program. The Financial Aid Office will help students fill out the form and secure necessary documentation.

Reinstatement

Students who lose their eligibility for financial aid may be reinstated by making up the deficiency without benefit of financial aid or by being readmitted to the college after an absence of at least one calendar year.

Financial Aid Distribution Policy

If a student withdraws and a refund is due to Title IV Programs, the programs will be repaid up to the amount received from each program in the following order: Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Direct Subsidized Loan, Federal Parent Loan, Federal PELL, Federal SEOG.

Financial Aid Repayment Policy

If a student withdraws and has received a cash disbursement of Title IV funds (excluding CWS and Part B Loans), the student is entitled to the corresponding portion of the living expense allowance for the enrollment period. Any additional funds received must be repaid to the college.

Policies and Procedures for Verification

This institution has developed the following Policies and Procedures regarding the verification of information provided by applicants for Federal Aid under the Title IV Programs.

1. Only those students who are selected for verification by the Department of Education will be required to submit supporting documentation.

2. For Pell, the student will have 60 days after his/her last day of attendance or the end of the academic year, whichever is earlier, to complete verification. However, in the interim, the student must have made arrangements with the school for payment of all tuition and fees due or risk termination at the option of the school. After the passage of the aforementioned period, all financial aid that might have been due is forfeited.

3. All students will be notified on a timely basis if they have been selected for verification, and the supporting documentation that is required. The institution will use as its reference the most recent verification guide supplied by the Department of Education. At that time the student will be informed of the time parameters and the consequences of not completing the verification cycle. The institution will notify the student of the result of verification and any other documentation needed. The institution will assist the student in correcting any information that is inaccurate.

4. If the student supplies inaccurate information on any application and refuses to correct same after being advised by the institution, the school must refer this case to the Department of Education for resolution. Unless required by the Department of Education, no financial aid will be disbursed to the student.

Federal Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress

Under Federal Financial Aid Title IV Guidelines, students are expected to achieve both a qualitative (Grade Point Average) and quantitative (pace) benchmarks. Qualitative Benchmarks: The following chart shows the minimum GPA standard a student must maintain for satisfactory academic progress.

Credits Attempted G.P.A. 0-3 1.0 4-9 1.2 10-18 1.5 19-30 2.0 31-60 2.0 Graduation 2.0

Quantitative Benchmarks:

In addition to the qualitative standards set forth above, students must meet quantitative benchmarks of pace of progression (Pace). Students must earn a percentage of credits attempted (number of credits earned divided by number of credits attempted) as outlined below:

18

Pace of Completion (PACE)

To help students avoid reaching the 150 percent point, the College tests student progress every term, based on attempted vs. earned benchmarks. The following standards are applied:

Credits Attempted Necessary % Passed (Earned/Attempted)

0-30 50% 31 or more 67%

Transfer Credits Transfer credits that are accepted toward any degree will be counted toward the quantitative requirements as both credits attempted and earned. Grades A, B+, B, C+, C, D are considered as attempted and earned credit hours. Grades F, WF are considered as attempted, but not earned and will negatively count toward the student’s grade point average (GPA) and pace. Grade W will only apply towards the quantitative benchmark and will be counted as attempted only.

Course Repetition

In those cases where a student has retaken a course, only the passing grade shall be used but the lower grade shall remain on the record as a matter of information, and will not be counted toward the GPA or qualitative requirement but for quantitative (pace) requirement it shall count as attempted.

Maximum Timeframe For Completion (150 Percent Rule)

In order to maintain the quantitative standards for satisfactory academic progress, students must be able to complete their programs by the time they have attempted 150 percent of the required credit hours necessary for graduation in their degree programs. In the case of our Associate Degree programs (60 credits), the maximum attempted credits allowed would be 90 credits.

Warning of Failure to Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Requirements

Students who fail to meet standards will automatically be placed on Warning status for the following term. Students on Warning status may continue to be enrolled and maintain their eligibility for financial aid. Students who meet the SAP standards during the Warning term will be restored to good standing.

Appeals

A student who fails to make satisfactory academic progress and is suspended has the right to appeal, in writing, to the Dean, based on special, unusual or extenuating circumstances causing undue hardship such as death in the family, student’s injury or illness or other special circumstance that has caused the student to fail to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP),

19

and what has changed that will allow the student to demonstrate SAP progress at the end of the next evaluation period. Supporting documentation is required. If the appeal is approved, the student will be notified in writing within 5 business days of receipt of the appeal.

Appeals for Probation

Students who fail to meet standards during the Warning term may appeal to be placed on Probation status for the subsequent term. Failure to submit an appeal will result in loss of financial aid eligibility. Students on probation may continue to be enrolled and maintain their eligibility for financial aid. Students who have met the SAP standards by the end of the probationary term will be restored to good standing.

Appeals for Academic Plans

Students who fail to meet the SAP standards by the end of a probation term may appeal again to be given academic plans customized for their needs. Failure to submit an appeal will result in loss of financial aid eligibility. Academic plans, to which students must agree, are designed to allow students to achieve compliance with SAP requirements within a reasonable period of time. Students on academic plans may continue to be enrolled and maintain their eligibility for financial aid programs as long as they satisfy the terms and conditions of their plans.

Sources of Financial Aid

Following are descriptions of all financial aid programs available to students at Island Drafting and Technical Institute. They are based on current statutes and regulations and are subject to change by the passage of new legislation or the issuance of new regulations.

Federal Programs

Federal Pell Grant Program. This is an entitlement program, with eligibility based on financial need. The applicant must: (1) be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen; (2) be an undergraduate as a matriculated student at an eligible institution; (3) not be in default or refund status for any federal Title IV aid at any institution; (4) if applicable, be registered with the Selective Service and (5) be enrolled half-time or more unless certain conditions are met so that less than half-time attendance is acceptable.

An applicant may receive Pell Grants for up to three years for the completion of a two-year associate degree. Awards may be used for tuition, fees, books and living expenses. Pell Grants are awarded independently of TAP and other State grants. Before receiving payment, the Pell recipient must sign a statement of educational purpose, available from the financial aid office, that all money received will be used for the costs of post-secondary education only. Upon enrollment, the award is paid by check directly to the recipient or credited to his/her institutional account. Award payments made by check must be picked up by recipients within a reasonable time. The institution must notify recipients of the availability and

20

location of award checks. Awards are limited to not more than sixty percent of the total costs of attendance as defined by the Pell Grant program. For 2019-2020, awards are authorized up to $6095.00. The amount of individual awards is determined by the Student Aid Index, costs of attendance, and enrollment status.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG).

The applicant must (1) be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen; (2) be an undergraduate matriculated at an institution participating in the federal campus-based programs; (3) not be in default or refund status for any federal Title IV aid at any institution; (4) if applicable, be registered with the Selective Service; (5) have the lowest expected family contribution; and (6) be a Pell Grant recipient.

Financial need is determined by standardized need analysis, subject to adjustments by institutions. SEOG awards may be available to less than full-time students, depending on the practices of individual institutions. Recipients are selected and award amounts are determined by financial aid administrators.

The award may range from $100.00 to $4,000.00, depending upon student financial need, program funding, and institutional discretion. A student may receive funds throughout the period required to complete an associate degree.

Federal Direct Loans. These loans include the Federal Direct Subsidized Loan, the Federal Direct unsubsidized Loan, and the Federal Direct Parent Loan. These loans are provided directly from the U.S. Department of Education via the Federal Direct Loan Program. These loans are available through the Financial Aid Office. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for information. To be eligible for a Subsidized Federal Direct Loan of up to $3500 for year one and $4500 for year two, you must apply for a Federal Pell Grant and submit an Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) to the financial aid office to evaluate your need and amount eligible for. Students who do not qualify for a subsidized Federal Direct Loan, or need funds beyond these limits should speak to the financial aid officer about an unsubsidized Direct Loan or Federal Direct Parent Loan (FPLUS). The Parent Loan may require your parents to have a good credit rating. Students may defer repayment on the subsidized and the unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans until you leave school. Unsubsidized Direct Loans may be made per school year in amounts up to an additional $2000 for dependent students and $6000 for independent students. FPLUS loans may be in larger amounts according to parent need and capability to repay. Further information and any questions should be directed to the Financial Aid Office. Bureau of Indian Affairs Aid to Native Americans--Higher Education Assistance Program. To be eligible, the applicant must: (1) be an enrolled member of an American Indian, Eskimo or Aleut tribe, band or group recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs; (2) be enrolled in or accepted for enrollment as an undergraduate in an approved college or university; (3) be pursuing at least a two-year degree; and (4) demonstrate financial need. Depending on availability of funds, grants may also be made to graduate students and summer session students. Priority is given to applicants in the following order: (1) continuing awards; (2) applicants enrolled on reservations;

21

and (3) applicants already enrolled. Application forms may be obtained from and submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Federal Building, Room 523, 100 South Clinton Street, Syracuse, NY 13260-0043. An application is necessary for each year of study. Application deadlines, strictly adhered to, are: (1) for the fall semester, July 1; (2) for the spring semester, October 15; and (3) for the summer semester, May 15. An official need analysis from the college financial aid office is also required each year. Moreover, each first-time applicant must obtain tribal enrollment certification from the enrollment clerk which records enrollment for the tribe. Awards are contingent upon funds available and are based on financial need. Award amounts are equal to the difference between total student expenses and financial assistance from all other sources, as indicated by financial aid administrators.

Veterans Administration Educational Benefits (VA). Many programs of educational assistance benefits are available to those who have served in the active military, naval or air service and to their families. These programs include the following:

• Veterans Educational Assistance • Post-Vietnam Era Veterans' Educational Assistance • All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance • Vocational Rehabilitation for Service-Disabled Veterans • Receiving Unemployability VA Compensation • Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance • Vocational Training for Certain Veterans Receiving VA Pension

Detailed information on all veterans' benefits can be obtained from the financial aid officer or from offices of the Veterans Administration.

New York State Programs

Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). This is an entitlement program. There is neither a qualifying examination nor a limited number of awards. The applicant must: (1) be a New York State resident and U.S. citizen, or a permanent resident alien, a paroled refugee or a conditional entrant to the United States; (2) be enrolled full-time and matriculated in an approved New York State post-secondary program; (3) be charged tuition of at least $200.00 per year; and (4) meet income eligibility requirements.

The Higher Education Services Corporation determines each applicant's eligibility and mails an award certificate directly to the applicant indicating the amount of the grant. The applicant presents or sends the “School Copy” of this award certificate when tuition payment is due. Post-secondary institutions normally defer payment of tuition on the basis of receipt of the award certificate. Institutions actually receive TAP payments after they certify student eligibility. The amount of the TAP award is scaled according to type of school, level of study, tuition charge, and net taxable income.

Satisfactory Academic Progress For TAP

To be eligible for financial assistance under the New York State Tuition Assistance Program

22

(TAP), students must make satisfactory progress toward the completion of a diploma or degree. The following chart illustrates minimum academic progress requirements:

Before being certified for this payment…

A student must have accrued at least this many Semester-

Hour Credits…

With at least this grade point average

1st 0 0.0 2nd 3 .5 3rd 9 .75 4th 18 1.3 5th 30 2.0 6th 45 2.0

Students enrolled in the degree program must complete the program within three years of program entry or financial aid will be jeopardized. Diploma program students must complete within one and one-half years of program entry. Students who are on academic probation or who have been advised that they are not making satisfactory academic progress may request a review of such determination. After an initial review by the Financial Aid Office, an appeal, if appropriate, may be made to the President. Mitigating or special circumstances may be considered during the initial review and appeal.

Aid for Part-Time Study (APTS). Applicants must apply for this campus-based program through the Financial Aid Office.

APTS is not an entitlement program. Participating institutions select recipients. To be eligible, students must: (1) be enrolled part-time in an approved undergraduate degree program or credit-bearing certificate of diploma program in New York State (part-time study for APTS is defined as enrollment for at least six but less than twelve semester hours); (2) have earned at least six semester hours of credit; (3) meet the income limits; (4) be a New York State resident; (5) be either a U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien, or refugee; (6) apply for a Federal Pell Grant if eligible for Pell; (7) have a tuition charge of at least $100 per year; and (8) have remaining TAP eligibility. The funding available for all participating institutions is set each year by the New York State Legislature, and allocated by the Higher Education Services Corporation. The amount received by a particular college is determined by that school's share of the total part-time degree program enrollment at all participating institutions. The number of awards and amount of each award is determined by individual institutions. Recipients must be in good academic standing in accordance with Commissioner's Regulations and must not be in default of a loan guaranteed by the Higher Education Services Corporation. A statement of good academic standing which is established by each institution in accordance with Commissioner's Regulations may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office.

STUDENT SERVICES Academic Advising

Island Drafting and Technical Institute is concerned with the whole student -- both academically and socially, in school or away from school. To achieve this and to assist the student, the school offers assistance for student academic or personal problems. We observe the strictest of confidentiality. If appropriate, a student might be referred to an outside agency for additional assistance.

Student Advisement

The faculty and the administrative staff are available for consultation and guidance to help students reach their education and career goals. Applicants must also take the Wonderlic Basic Skills test for advising purposes.

Placement

The college maintains a placement service for all graduates. IDTI cannot promise or guarantee employment to any student or graduate. The Placement Department also provides help to prospective graduates in the preparation of resumes and job applications and other job search skills. Additionally, IDTI arranges interviews between graduates and employers.

Tutoring

Island Drafting and Technical Institute can assist in obtaining tutorial assistance for those students who are having difficulty with specific courses or who must make up school work because of prolonged absence from classes due to extenuating circumstances.

Student Conduct

The curricula are offered to develop and prepare students for technical positions. Students are expected to act in an orderly manner at all times. Students who, in the College’s judgment, disrupt the training process may be suspended for a period of one to five days. A second suspension may render a student ineligible for re-entry. In the event of permanent suspension, the student will be entitled to tuition refund as outlined.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a violation of Federal (Section 703 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX Education Amendments of 1972) and State (New York State Human Rights Act) Law. Island Drafting and Technical Institute views all members of the college community as responsible individuals. The college reaffirms the principle that its students, and staff, shall be free from sexual discrimination or harassment. Such discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has established a committee to deal with all complaints and issues of sexual discrimination and harassment. It is the purpose of the committee to ensure that any complaints are expressed, explored, and resolved promptly and confidentially. The Title IX coordinator is James G. Di Liberto, President.

Campus Crime Reporting and Statistics The Advisory Committee on Campus Safety will provide upon request all campus crime statistics as reported to the United States Department of Education. The U.S. Dept. of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education's Campus Security Statistics Website can be found at http://ope.ed.gov/security/Search.asp.

ACADEMIC POLICIES Requirements for Graduation

In order to graduate, students must complete at a minimum the number of semester credits as required by the respective degree or diploma program, must fulfill all program requirements, and must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.00.

Grading System

The grading system which is utilized by faculty and computed in a student's grade point average (GPA) is as follows:

Programs Beginning Before Sept. 1, 2006 Programs Beginning After Sept. 1, 2006 Grade Points Grade Points A Excellent 4.00 A Excellent 4.00 B+ 3.33 B+ 3.50 B Good 3.00 B Good 3.00 C+ 2.33 C+ 2.50 C Average 2.00 C Average 2.00 D Below Average 1.00 D Below Average 1.00 F Failure 0.00 F Failure 0.00 WF Withdrawal Failure 0.00 WF Withdrawal Failure 0.00 W Withdrawal No points/penalty W Withdrawal No points/penalty

Incomplete Grade--I

No credit will be granted for incomplete work. A grade of I (Incomplete) will only be awarded in exceptional circumstances, such as illness or family emergency, and only in the case of work due at the end of the term, such as a final paper or final examination. Documentation of the illness or emergency must be presented to the instructor. Incompletes are not to be granted to allow students to make up work missed earlier in the term. The student must be passing the course at the time of the I. All incomplete course work must be completed within two weeks of the end of the course or the I automatically becomes an F.

Withdrawal--W, WF Students may officially withdraw from a course without academic penalty if they do so before completing one third of that course. The student is responsible for informing the Registrar. A grade of W will appear on the transcript. Withdrawal after one third of the course will result in an academic penalty and a grade of WF. A full-time student who withdraws from all registered courses will be considered withdrawn from the college.

Courses With Prerequisites

Some courses have as a prerequisite successful completion of another course or courses. In instances where a course, having a prerequisite, commences before grades have been recorded for

26

the prerequisite course, students in the former will be presumed to have successfully completed the latter for a period not to exceed three class sessions.

If a student fails to successfully complete the prerequisite course, any attendance in the subsequent course, pursuant to the above, will not constitute enrollment in that course.

Course Repetition In those cases where a student failed a course and has retaken and passed it, only the passing grade shall be used but the F shall remain on the record as a matter of information.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

GPA is calculated by dividing the total points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. Points earned for a particular course are calculated by multiplying the grade points by the number of credits. For instance, a grade of B in a 3-credit course is worth 9 points. If a student takes four, three-hour courses (12 credit hours for the semester) and receives one A, two B’s, and a C, this is translated into 36 quality points to be divided by the 12 credit hours. The resulting GPA would be 3.0. The cumulative GPA is derived by dividing the total number of hours taken while at the college into the total number of points earned for those courses.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

ACADEMIC PROBATION To remain in school a student must demonstrate academic achievement on a semester to semester basis for the current major program of study (Daytime semester is 16 weeks, Evening semester is 21 weeks). Failure to achieve certain benchmarks places a student on Academic Probation. The standards are as follows:

Credits Attempted G.P.A. 0-3 1.0 4-9 1.2 10-18 1.5 19-30 2.0 31-60 2.0 Graduation 2.0

At the end of each semester students falling below the benchmarks indicated are placed on Academic Probation and must see the Dean of Instruction before registering. A reduced course load may be recommended. Students are permitted one term to return to good standing or face Academic Dismissal (see below). Students enrolled in a 12 credit program must achieve at least a 1.0 at the end of their third

27

week, or be put on probation and must achieve a 1.5 by the midpoint of the program. Failure to maintain a 1.5 by the midpoint will be cause for termination. All students must have a 2.0 upon graduation.

ACADEMIC DISMISSAL

Failure to meet academic achievement standards for two consecutive semesters results in Academic Dismissal. Dismissal may be appealed, in writing, to the Dean and the appeal must be accompanied by detailed documentation of any extenuating circumstances (e.g. health, death in family, etc.) being used to support the appeal. For the student to be eligible for registration, the appeal must be filed before the third class session of the next semester. The Dean will convene a committee to review the appeal and determination will be made by the last day of late registration. Should the appeal be successful, the student will be permitted one additional semester to return to good standing, but will not be eligible for State or Federal aid for the term. Students with repeated patterns of failures and/or withdrawals may be academically dismissed at the discretion of the Academic Dean.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend class regularly in every course for which they have registered. Attendance and tardiness regulations for specific courses are established by the course instructor and may have a bearing on the student's grade. Students who anticipate an absence should contact the appropriate instructor(s) in advance. In the case of an unexpected absence, students should speak to the instructor(s) as soon as they return to class or during their absence. In either case, the student is responsible for all material covered.

Dean's List

Students who have a semester grade point average of 3.50 or better will be named to the Dean's List. Such students must have successfully completed a minimum of 9 credit hours in that semester.

Graduation with Honors

Students who graduate with a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or better will receive the distinction of graduating "with Honors."

Academic Integrity The principles of academic integrity entail simple standards of honesty and truth. Each member of the college has a responsibility to uphold the standards of the community and to take action when others violate them. Faculty members have an obligation to educate students to the standards of academic integrity, and to report violations of these standards. Students are responsible for knowing what the standards are and for adhering to them. Students should also bring any violations of which they are aware to the attention of their instructors.

28

Academic integrity requires that all academic work be wholly the product of an identified individual or individuals. Violations of academic integrity include:

• copying from or giving assistance to others on an examination; • plagiarizing portions of an assignment; • using forbidden material on an examination; • using a purchased term paper; • presenting the work of another as one's own; • altering a graded examination for the purposes of regrading.

Faculty who believe that violations have occurred should immediately contact the Dean of Instruction. Students who suspect that other students are involved in actions of academic dishonesty should speak to the instructor of the course. The first violation will result in the student receiving an "F" on the assignment or test in question. The "F" will be averaged in with the other grades in the course to yield the final grade. The second violation will result in mandatory expulsion from the college for one or more semesters and a failing grade in the course. Students must apply to the Dean for readmission.

Class Size

Although normal class size averages 18 students, maximum class size is 40 for laboratory work and 50 for theory.

Credit Hour

The regulations of the Commissioner of Education of New York State [Sec 50.1(o)] define a semester credit hour as the equivalent of a credit “granted for the satisfactory completion of a course which requires at least 15 hours (of 50 minutes each) of instruction and at least 30 hours of supplementary assignments.” Based upon the Commissioner’s regulations and the Carnegie method, 1 credit of theory requires 15 hours of instruction and 1 credit of lab requires 30 hours of instruction.

Maximum Time Frame

Students must complete their program within a maximum of 150% the normal length required for completion. For example, a program of 60 credits would require 90 maximum attempted credits.

Student Grievance Procedure

A student who has an academic or other concern should first speak with his/her instructor or the individual(s) involved. If the concern cannot be resolved in this manner, a student should contact the Dean. A student may file a written grievance to the Dean within five school days of the occurrence of the event. The Dean will refer the matter to the Grievance Committee and respond to any complaint submitted within twenty school days.

29

Schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges must have a procedure and operational plan for handling student complaints. If a student does not feel that the school has adequately addressed a complaint or concern, the student may consider contacting the Accrediting Commission. All complaints considered by the commission must be in written form, with permission from the complainant(s) for the Commission to forward a copy of the complaint to the school for a response. The complainant(s) will be kept informed as to the status of the complaint as well as the final resolution by the Commission. Please direct all inquiries to: Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges 2101 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 302 Arlington, VA 22201 (703)247-4212 www.accsc.org

A copy of the Commission’s complaint form is available at the school and may be obtained by contacting the Dean’s Office, or on the ACCSC website (www.accsc.org).

Students who have a complaint or wish to lodge a grievance against a college employee should: (1) contact the head of the department in which the accused is a member and verbally outline the grievance; (2) submit a written grievance to the Dean within 30 days of the end of the semester that the alleged offense took place (if Step 1 has not been fruitful in resolving the difficulty). The Dean will prepare a written response within 15 working days after receipt of the written grievance. The Dean's decision is final.
