Administration Policies

Non-Discrimination and Diversity

The school offers equal opportunities, without distinction or discrimination because of race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status, in all of its programs of study and services. The school adheres to non-discrimination in all of its programs of study and services. The school also encourages cultural and ethnic diversity in its faculty, staff and student body.

Academic Achievement

Grading

Grading is administered to assess the student's educational progress. Grading is based on the student's performance and level of achievement on assignments, projects and examinations in each course. Many course examinations are proctored. Students in online courses are required to travel to a testing site designated by the school to take the course examinations that the school requires to be proctored. The following is a list of possible grades that a student may receive for a course, the points that each grade will contribute per course credit hour to the student's grade point average and a brief description of the grade:

Graduation Requirements for Undergraduate Programs

In order to graduate from his or her undergraduate program of study at the school: (a) a student must attain an overall 2.0 cumulative grade point average for all of the courses included in the program; (b) a student must either successfully complete all courses specified in this catalog for the undergraduate program (as such courses may be revised or modified from time to time in the school's discretion) within the Maximum Time Frame for Completion as specified below or receive credit for such courses from the school based on the student's previous postsecondary education or experience; and (c) at least 25% of the quarter credit hours required to graduate from the undergraduate program must be earned at the school.

Graduation Requirements for Graduate Program

In order to graduate from the Project Management program, a student must: (a) attain an overall 3.0 cumulative grade point average for all of the courses included in the program; and (b) successfully complete all courses specified in this catalog for the Project Management program (as such courses may be revised or modified from time to time in the school's discretion) within the Maximum Time Frame for Completion as specified below.

Credential

Upon successfully completing all of the requirements for graduation and satisfying all indebtedness to the school, the school will award the student the appropriate credential for the student's program of study as specified in the Curricula section of this catalog. The school only awards graduates of a specific program of study the credential specified for the student's program in the Curricula section of this catalog. Other ITT Technical Institutes only award their graduates of a specific program of study the credential specified for that program in that ITT Technical Institute's current catalog. The school does not make any representation or promise whatsoever regarding any future credential that may be awarded to any graduate of any program of study that the school or any other ITT Technical Institute may offer.

Honors for Undergraduate Programs

To accent the importance of academic performance and give recognition to students who achieve a better than average scholastic record, the school has the following academic achievement recognition levels.

(a) Honors List - Any student who, during a quarter, takes program courses that represent at least eight credit hours and who achieves an overall grade point average of 3.50 to 3.79 for the program courses taken in that quarter will be placed on the Honors List.

(b) Highest Honors List - Any student who, during a quarter, takes program courses that represent at least eight credit hours and who achieves an overall grade point average of at least 3.80 for the program courses taken in that quarter will be placed on the Highest Honors List.

(c) Graduation with Honors - Any student who graduates from his or her undergraduate program of study at the school with an overall cumulative grade point average of: (i) 3.50 to 3.79 for all of the courses taken in the program will be designated an Honors Graduate; and (ii) at least 3.80 for all of the courses taken in the program will be designated a Highest Honors Graduate.

NOTE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS: The school has not established any academic achievement recognition levels for students enrolled in a graduate program.

Academic Transcripts

An unofficial copy of each student's transcript is available from the Registrar upon request by the student. This service is subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The school reserves the right to withhold an official transcript if: (a) the student's financial obligation to the school is in arrears; or (b) the student is in arrears on any federal or state student loan obligation. The school also reserves the right to limit, in its discretion, the number of official transcripts provided without a processing fee.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

A student must make satisfactory academic progress towards completing his or her program of study. To be making satisfactory academic progress, a student must satisfy the criteria set forth below in this Satisfactory Academic Progress section. Any student who is failing to make satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at any Evaluation Point specified below will either be placed on academic probation, placed on extended enrollment status or terminated from that program of study as provided below.

Evaluation Points - Undergraduate Programs

below (a) the student's overall cumulative grade point average ("OCGPA") in his or her program of study is less than the OCGPA required at that Evaluation Point or (b) the student has not successfully completed the percentage of the total cumulative credit hours he or she has attempted in his or her program of study ("Credit Completion Percentage") required at such Evaluation Point:

Notes:

1. If a student is not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at this Evaluation Point, the student will be terminated from that program of study, unless the student appeals the school's determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section) and the Dean grants the student's appeal. If the Dean grants the student's appeal, the student will, at the school's discretion, be placed on either academic probation or extended enrollment status during the student's next quarter of attendance in the program.

2. If this Evaluation Point occurs during a quarter, the evaluation will be (a) conducted at the end of the immediate preceding quarter and (b) based on the student's OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage as of the end of that immediate preceding quarter.

3. If a student is not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at this Evaluation Point, the student will be terminated from that program of study, unless the student appeals the school's determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section) and the Dean grants the student's appeal. If the Dean grants the student's appeal, the student will be placed on extended enrollment status during the student's next quarter of attendance in the program.

4. If a student is not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at this Evaluation Point, the student will be terminated from that program of study at the school.
The calculation of the student's OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage in his or her program of study will include the grade earned and the credit hours attempted, respectively, with respect to each course that the student took at the school when the student: (a) was enrolled in that program of study; and (b) was not enrolled in that program of study, if the subject matter of that course is substantially the same as any course in that program of study.

Maximum Time Frame for Completion

The student's Maximum Time Frame for Completion ("MTFC") for his or her program of study is 150% of the credit hours designated in the Program Outline for such program of study (as such credit hours may be revised or modified from time to time by the school in its discretion) less the credit hours associated with any course that the student receives a grade of "CR" or "TR," rounded down to the nearest whole credit hour. For example, if a program of study consists of 96 credit hours and the school accepted 11 transfer credits earned by the student at another postsecondary educational institution, the student's MTFC is 127 credit hours (150% of (96 - 11) is 127.5, which rounds down to 127). Each credit hour in a program of study that is "attempted" (as defined below) by a student is counted toward the student's MTFC of that program of study each and every time the credit hour is attempted by the student. A credit hour or course is "attempted" if the student receives a grade of "A," "B+," "B," "C+," "C," "D+," "D," "F," "I," "W" or "P" for the course that the credit hour is part. For example, if a student takes Course X, consisting of 6 credit hours, and receives a grade of "W" and the student retakes Course X and earns a grade of "B," the student will have attempted 12 credit hours with respect to Course X. A student may not exceed his or her MTFC for the student's program of study. The student's MTFC for his or her program of study will include the credit hours attempted with respect to each course that the student took at the school when the student: (a) was enrolled in that program of study; and (b) was not enrolled in that program of study, if the subject matter of that course is substantially the same as any course in that program of study. A student will not be making satisfactory academic progress and will be terminated from his or her program of study if, at any time, the school determines that the student is unable to graduate from that program of study without exceeding the student's MTFC for his or her program of study.

Academic Year

For undergraduate programs of study, an academic year is three academic quarters in length. For the Project Management program of study, an academic year is 34 weeks of instructional time.

Credit Completion Percentage

The Credit Completion Percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours that the student has successfully completed in his or her program of study by the total number of credit hours that the student has attempted in his or her program of study.

Student Status for Undergraduate Programs

An undergraduate student who, in any quarter, takes courses in his or her program of study that represent:

(a) 12 or more credits is a full-time student;

(b) 9 to 11 credits is a three-quarter-time student;

(c) 6 to 8 credits is a half-time student; or

(d) less than 6 credits is a less than half-time student.

The amount of federal and state student financial aid that an undergraduate student may qualify to receive may be adversely affected if the student is anything other than a full-time student. Any student who is not a full-time student should contact the school's Finance Department for more information.

Academic Probation - Undergraduate Programs

If a student is placed on academic probation, during the quarter of the student's academic probation the Dean may require the student to repeat some or all of the courses that the student previously received a grade of "D+," "D," "F" or "W" before the student can attempt any other courses in the student's program of study. At the end of the quarter of the student's academic probation, the student's OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage will be recalculated to determine if the student is making satisfactory academic progress in the program of study at that Evaluation Point.
A student will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the quarter of the student's academic probation. All of the credit hours represented by the courses that the student repeats during the quarter of the student's academic probation will have been attempted by the student in determining the student's Credit Completion Percentage, and all of the grades (and associated points) earned by the student in those courses will replace the previous grades (and associated points) earned in determining the student's OCGPA. All grades earned for any courses the student attempts will, however, remain on the student's transcript.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Evaluation Points section: (a) a student will not be placed on academic probation more than three times during any program of study in which the student is enrolled at the school; (b) a student will not be placed on academic probation, if such placement would represent the third consecutive quarter of academic probation for that student while enrolled in that program of study at the school; and (c) a student will not be placed on academic probation, if (i) such placement would represent the second consecutive quarter of academic probation for that student and (ii) the student has attended four or more academic quarters in that program of study at the school.

Academic Probation - Graduate Program

If a student is placed on academic probation, during the student's academic probation the Dean may require the student to repeat some or all of the courses that the student previously received a grade of "D+," "D," "F" or "W" before the student can attempt any other courses in the student's program of study. At the end of the student's academic probation, the student's OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage will be recalculated to determine if the student is making satisfactory academic progress in the program of study at that Evaluation Point.

A student will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the period of the student's academic probation. All of the credit hours represented by the courses that the student repeats during the period of the student's academic probation will have been attempted by the student in determining the student's Credit Completion Percentage, and all of the grades (and associated points) earned by the student in those courses will replace the previous grades (and associated points) earned in determining the student's OCGPA. All grades earned for any courses the student attempts will, however, remain on the student's transcript.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Evaluation Points section: (a) a student will not be placed on academic probation more than one time during the Project Management program of study in which the student is enrolled at the school; (b) if a student who is on academic probation is not making satisfactory academic progress at the end of the academic probationary period, he or she will be terminated from the Project Management program of study; and (c) graduate students will not be placed on extended enrollment status.

Extended Enrollment Status - Undergraduate Programs

If a student is placed on extended enrollment status, during the quarter of the student's extended enrollment status the Dean will require the student to repeat some or all of the course(s) that he or she received a grade of "D+," "D," "F" or "W" before the student can attempt any other courses in the student's program of study. At the end of the quarter of the student's extended enrollment status, the student's OCPGA and Credit Completion Percentage will be recalculated to determine if the student is making satisfactory academic progress in the program of study at that Evaluation Point. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Evaluation Points section, if the student is making satisfactory academic progress in the program of study at the Evaluation Point at the end of the quarter of the student's extended enrollment status, the student will be placed on academic probation during the student's next quarter of attendance in the program.

A student will not be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the quarter of the student's extended enrollment status. All of the credit hours represented by the courses that the student repeats during the quarter of the student's extended enrollment status will have been attempted by the student in determining the student's Credit Completion Percentage, and all of the grades (and associated points) earned by the student in those courses will replace the previous grades (and associated points) earned in determining the student's OCGPA. All grades earned for any courses the student attempts will, however, remain on the student's transcript. A student is ineligible for any federal, state or other student financial aid to attend any course(s) in his or her program of study at the school during the student's extended enrollment status.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Evaluation Points section, a student will not be granted extended enrollment status more than two times during any program of study in which the student is enrolled at the school.

Incompletes and Repeats

If the student receives a grade of "A," "B+," "B," "C+," "C," "D+," "D," "P," "CR" or "TR" with respect to any course, the student will have successfully completed that particular course. If the student receives an "I" grade and does not successfully complete the required work to remove the "I" grade from his or her record (within six weeks following the end of the (a) quarter in which the "I" grade was received for undergraduate programs and (b) course in which the "I" grade was received for graduate programs), the student will receive the otherwise earned letter grade (normally an "F"). Any student earning a grade of "F" in any course included in his or her program of study must repeat and successfully complete that course prior to: (a) taking any course with respect to which the failed course is a prerequisite; (b) graduation, if the student is enrolled in an undergraduate program; and (c) progressing to the next course, if the student is enrolled in the Project Management program. Any student who earns a grade of "F" in a theory course that has a corresponding laboratory course, or in a laboratory course that has a corresponding theory course, must repeat both the theory and laboratory courses, regardless of the grade earned by the student in the corresponding course. Any student who successfully completes a course may request in writing for permission from the school to repeat that course. A student who requests permission to repeat a successfully completed theory course that has a corresponding laboratory course, or a laboratory course that has a corresponding theory course, will only be permitted by the school to repeat the requested theory or laboratory course if the student also repeats the corresponding laboratory or theory course, respectively. If a course is repeated, the grade earned for repeating the course will replace the previous grade earned in determining the student's OCGPA in the student's program of study. All grades earned for all courses the student attempts will, however, remain on the student's transcript.

Readmission - Undergraduate Programs

A student who withdraws or is terminated from a program of study at the school may not seek readmission into a program of study before the next quarter that the course(s) the student would take upon reentry into the program of study is(are) offered by the school.

All readmission determinations will be made by the school in its discretion and will be final and binding on the student. The school is not obligated to readmit any student. As part of the school's determination to readmit any student, the school will consider whether the student was making satisfactory academic progress at the last Evaluation Point that the student was enrolled in the program of study. If the student was not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study as of that Evaluation Point, the student will not be readmitted into that program, unless the student appeals the school's determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section) and the Dean grants the student's appeal. If the Dean grants the student's appeal, the student will (at the Dean's discretion and in conformity with the satisfactory academic progress requirements associated with that Evaluation Point, as specified above, and the limitations associated with granting academic probation and extended enrollment status, as specified above) be placed on either academic probation or extended enrollment status during the student's next quarter of attendance in that program of study. If a student for any reason is terminated or withdraws from his or her program of study at the school during a quarter when the student is on: (a) academic probation, the student will be on academic probation if and when the student is readmitted to that program of study at the school; or (b) extended enrollment status, the student will be on extended enrollment status if and when the student is readmitted to that program of study at the school. In no event will any student be readmitted to a program of study at the school, if the school determines that the student (i) is unable to make satisfactory academic progress in that program of study or (ii) does not possess the motivation, desire or academic ability to satisfactorily progress academically through and graduate from that program of study. If the school decides to readmit the student, the student must agree in writing to the terms for readmission and execute a new Enrollment Agreement with the school and pay all then current tuition, fees and any other costs associated with the student's program of study.

Readmission - Graduate Program

Any student who withdraws or is terminated from the Project Management program for any reason may not seek readmission into the Project Management program: (a) until the course the student would be required to first take if readmitted is subsequently offered by the school; and (b) if more than two years have elapsed since the student's withdrawal or termination.

All readmission determinations will be made by the school in its discretion and will be final and binding on the student. The school is not obligated to readmit any student. As part of the school's determination to readmit any student, the school will consider whether the student was making satisfactory academic progress at the last Evaluation Point that the student was enrolled in the Project Management program. If the student was not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study as of that Evaluation Point, the student will not be readmitted into that program, unless the student appeals the school's determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section) and the Dean grants the student's appeal. If the Dean grants the student's appeal, the student will (at the Dean's discretion and in conformity with the satisfactory academic progress requirements associated with that Evaluation Point, as specified above, and the limitations associated with granting academic probation, as specified above) be placed on academic probation during the next two courses that the student attempts at the school in the Project Management program. If a student for any reason is terminated or withdraws from the Project Management program at the school during a period when the student is on academic probation, the student will be on academic probation if and when the student is readmitted to the Project Management program at the school. In no event will any student be readmitted to the Project Management program at the school, if the school determines that the student (i) is unable to make satisfactory academic progress in that program of study or (ii) does not possess the motivation, desire or academic ability to satisfactorily progress academically through and graduate from that program of study. If the school decides to readmit the student, the student must agree in writing to the terms for readmission and execute a new Enrollment Agreement with the school and pay all then current tuition, fees and any other costs associated with the student's program of study.

Reestablishing Financial Aid

A student must be making satisfactory academic progress to be eligible to receive any federal, state or other student financial aid to attend any course(s) in his or her program of study at the school. If a student loses his or her eligibility to receive financial aid for failure to make satisfactory academic progress, the student cannot regain his or her eligibility to receive financial aid until the student establishes that he or she is making satisfactory academic progress.

Non-Credit Courses

Non-credit courses, which are taken on a pass-fail basis, do not affect a student's grade point average. Nevertheless, the student must repeat and successfully complete any failed non-credit courses prior to the student graduating from his or her program of study at the school.
Appeal - Undergraduate Programs
If the school determines that a student is failing to make satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at the school, the student may appeal the school's determination in writing to the Dean. The student's written appeal must explain in detail the mitigating or special circumstances affecting the student's academic progress (such as the student suffering a serious illness or injury, the death of a relative of the student or other mitigating circumstances) that may give rise to the school changing its determination to terminate the student from (or not to readmit the student into) his or her program of study at the school, despite the student's failure to conform to the requirements of the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog. The Dean will review the student's written appeal to determine whether, because of the mitigating or special circumstances explained in the student's written appeal, the student can remain enrolled in (or be readmitted into) his or her program of study at the school despite the student's failure to conform to the requirements of the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog. The determination of the student's written appeal will be made by the Dean (in his or her discretion and in conformity with the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog) and will be final and binding on the student. If the Dean grants the student's appeal, the student will be placed (as specified by the Dean and in conformity with the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog) on either academic probation or extended enrollment status during the student's next quarter of attendance in that program of study.

Appeal - Graduate Program

If the school determines that a student is failing to make satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at the school, the student may appeal the school's determination in writing to the Dean. The student's written appeal must explain in detail the mitigating or special circumstances affecting the student's academic progress (such as the student suffering a serious illness or injury, the death of a relative of the student or other mitigating circumstances) that may give rise to the school changing its determination to terminate the student from (or not to readmit the student into) his or her program of study at the school, despite the student's failure to conform to the requirements of the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog. The Dean will review the student's written appeal to determine whether, because of the mitigating or special circumstances explained in the student's written appeal, the student can remain enrolled in (or be readmitted into) his or her program of study at the school despite the student's failure to conform to the requirements of the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog. The determination of the student's written appeal will be made by the Dean (in his or her discretion and in conformity with the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog) and will be final and binding on the student. If the Dean grants the student's appeal, the student will be placed on academic probation during the student's next two courses that the student attempts at the school in the Project Management program.

Attendance Requirements

Each student is required to regularly attend scheduled class meetings and other activities that are part of a course that the student is registered to take or the program in which the student is enrolled. For residence courses, attendance means participating in the class meetings and other activities of the course in person. For online courses, attendance means participating in class communications and activities of the course electronically over the Internet in the manner and in accordance with the directions specified by the school. Students attending online courses are required to follow the protocols specified by the school to record the student's attendance in the class communications and activities that are part of the course. Any failure by a student attending an online course to follow the protocols specified by the school to record the student's attendance in a class communication or activity that is part of the course may, as determined by the school, result in the school identifying the student as absent from or a non-participant in the class communication or other activity of the course.

As required by federal law, each student must annually participate in the programs presented by the school that address the following subjects: (a) promoting the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape and other forcible and nonforcible sex offenses (20 U.S.C. 1099c); (b) preventing the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students (20 U.S.C. 1145g); and (c) any other subject that the federal government may, from time to time, require the school to present to its students. If a student fails to participate in any of the above programs and execute any documentation confirming his or her participation that the school may require, the school may, in its discretion, suspend and/or terminate the student from his or her program of study at the school.

Make-Up Work

Undergraduate Programs

A student may, at the school's discretion, make up coursework missed due to the student's absences from class meetings and other activities that are part of a course that the student is registered to take or the program in which the student is enrolled. If the school allows the student to make up any coursework missed due to absences from the scheduled class meetings and other activities that are part of a course that the student is registered to take or a program in which the student is enrolled, the school will determine, in its discretion, whether the student's make-up work is satisfactory, and any decision by the school with respect thereto will be final and binding on the student.

Graduate Program

Due to the comprehensive and sequential nature of the Project Management program curriculum, make-up work is required for any scheduled class or activity that is missed by a student in that program. Any student absent from any scheduled class or activity must consult with the faculty member responsible for the missed class or activity to arrange for make-up work. Make-up work for any missed class or activity must be completed before the end of the course in which the absence occurred.

Leave of Absence

Undergraduate Programs

A student may be granted a leave of absence only to accommodate the student's: (a) two-week military service obligation; and (b) jury duty in excess of one week, but not to exceed two weeks. Only one leave of absence (not to exceed 10 days) will be granted in a 12-month period. Any student who requests a leave of absence must submit in advance to the school Director a written request, supported by third party documentation that is acceptable to the school Director. The student's written request must be dated and signed by the student and must specify the dates of the requested leave of absence and the reason for the leave. The determination of whether to grant the student's requested leave of absence will be made in the school's discretion and will be final and binding on the student. The student is responsible for contacting the appropriate faculty member(s) to arrange to make up the coursework missed by the student as a result of any granted leave of absence.

Graduate Program

Due to the concentrated nature of the Project Management program and the teamwork required, no leaves of absence will be permitted by the school. If a student takes an unauthorized leave, the student will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Project Management program.

Program Changes

Any student who desires to change his or her enrollment in a program of study at the school to a different program of study at the school must request the change in writing to, and obtain the prior approval of, the Dean. All determinations with respect to any request by a student to change his or her enrollment in a program of study at the school will be made by the school in its discretion and will be final and binding on the student.

Withdrawals

If a student wishes to withdraw from any program course(s) that the student is taking at the school or the student's entire program of study at the school, the student must notify the Dean or Program Chair in writing prior to the date of withdrawal. The writing must specify the date that the student will withdraw from the course(s) or program of study and the reason for the withdrawal. Prior to the student's withdrawal date from his or her program of study, the student must also have an exit interview with the Academic Affairs Department and the Finance Department. If, during any quarter that a student is enrolled in a program of study at the school, the student fails to: (a) become registered to take any program course during that quarter within 17 calendar days following the start of that quarter, the student will have withdrawn from his or her program of study at the school; (b) attend any classes for a period of 17 calendar days in a residence course that the student is registered to take during that quarter, the student will have withdrawn from that residence course; or (c) eight (8) calendar days in an online course that the student is registered to take during that quarter, the student will have withdrawn from that online course. If a student withdraws from all program courses that the student is registered to take in that quarter, the student will have withdrawn from his or her program of study at the school. A student who withdraws from his or her program of study may be considered for readmission only in accordance with the Readmission section of this catalog.

Advising

The student must receive academic, attendance and/or financial aid advising from the school, as the school deems necessary in its discretion.

Transfer of Credit

Credits earned in any course taken at the school will be accepted for transfer by any other ITT Technical Institute toward the credits required in the same course, if that course is offered by the other ITT Technical Institute.

DECISIONS CONCERNING THE ACCEPTANCE OF CREDITS EARNED IN ANY COURSE TAKEN AT THE SCHOOL ARE MADE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE RECEIVING INSTITUTION. THE SCHOOL MAKES NO REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER CONCERNING THE TRANSFERABILITY OF ANY CREDITS EARNED AT THE SCHOOL TO ANY INSTITUTION OTHER THAN AN ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY CREDITS EARNED AT AN ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE WILL BE TRANSFERABLE TO OR ACCEPTED BY ANY INSTITUTION OTHER THAN AN ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.

ANY STUDENT CONSIDERING CONTINUING HIS OR HER EDUCATION AT, OR TRANSFERRING TO, ANY INSTITUTION OTHER THAN AN ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE MUST NOT ASSUME THAT ANY CREDITS EARNED IN ANY COURSE TAKEN AT THE SCHOOL WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE RECEIVING INSTITUTION. AN INSTITUTION'S ACCREDITATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT CREDITS EARNED AT THAT INSTITUTION WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR TRANSFER BY ANY OTHER INSTITUTION. THE STUDENT MUST CONTACT THE REGISTRAR OF THE RECEIVING INSTITUTION TO DETERMINE WHAT CREDITS EARNED AT THE SCHOOL, IF ANY, THAT INSTITUTION WILL ACCEPT.
