If the Academic Affairs department determines the credits area cceptable for transfer, credit will be given for those courses, and the student will be scheduled to take only those courses needed to fulfill the requirements for graduation. For courses within a major taken more than 12 months prior, the student must take a proficiency examination for both academics and practicals. Academic credit will be granted if the student scores 75 percent or better and demonstrates competencies of practical skills. The student will not be charged for the examination(s). Students requesting to transfer credit(s) must submit all required documents and/or pass any proficiency examination prior to starting school. Under no circumstances does Concorde Career College grant academic credit for life experience. Residency Requirements Students are required to earn a minimum of 75%of their credits/hours in residence at Concorde Career College/Institute. Therefore, the total of transfer credits and online classes cannot exceed 25%of a program's credits/hours. An exception may be made for students transferring to the same program of study at another Concorde school. Please contact the Academic Dean at the receiving school to discuss the transfer of course credits and credit for prior learning. Repetitions Effective: 07/20/2020 Students are required to repeat any failed course. With the exception of courses with the designation "CPSO," students will be allowed to repeat a failed course once (see the "Official Letter Grading Scale"). CPSO courses may be attempted a total of three times. Both the grade(s) for the failed course(s) and the repeated course(s) will appear on the transcript, but only the most recent grade will be used in calculating CGPA. However, the original course(s) and all repeated course credit hours are included in the maximum time frame and rate of progress calculations. Students may incur per course fee for repeating a class(es). Please see a Financial Aid Representative to discuss your situation. Students who fail the same CPSO course three times will be dismissed from the program. Students who fail the same non- CPSO academic course twice will be dismissed from the program. Dismissed students are not eligible for readmission. Veterans Administration Students The school will notify the Veterans Administration (VA) when a student receiving VA education benefits is placed on Academic Warning or Academic Probation. Students will be advised of any counseling services available to them at the school in order to resolve academic or other problems and to establish a meaningful plan for successful completion of their education or training. The school will also remind students of the counseling services and tutorial assistance benefits available through the VA. When a student has failed to maintain prescribed standards of progress, the VA will be informed promptly so that benefit payments can be discontinued in accordance with the law. The termination date assigned by the school will be the last day of the term or other evaluation period in which the student's progress became unsatisfactory. Schools that provide a period of academic warning or probation may not continue to certify a veteran or eligible person (who remains in an unsatisfactory academic status) for an indefinite period of time. The school will withdraw any student who remains in an unsatisfactory academic status for more than two successive periods and report the withdrawal to the VA. The credit hours attempted cannot exceed 1.5 times the credit hours required to complete the credit -hour program.

Outside Classroom Work Students will find the work in each program to be challenging, requiring them to maximize their time and problem -solving strategies. Students demonstrate their commitment to learning via work and time spent inside and outside the class. In addition to the time spent in class per week, students are required to spend time outside of class on reading assignments, writing assignments, practice and practical applications, and projects or other equivalent learning experiences to help them achieve the course objectives. Specific details on the outside classroom work are found In the individual course syllabi, which students receive at the beginning of each course. Scholastic Honesty It is assumed that all students are enrolled in class to learn; therefore, cheating is not an acceptable practice. Dishonesty of any type in a course, including cheating on examinations or plagiarizing materials, can result in a grade of "F" and may be cause for suspension and/or withdrawal from school. Plagiarism includes passing off or attempting to pass off the ideas or writing of another person as one's own. Students are prohibited from operating any type of audio or video recording device in a classroom, laboratory, or clinical setting without prior expressed permission from the Campus President or Academic Dean. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: video cameras, telephones with audio or video recording capability, computers, electronic tablets, or watches with audio or video recording capability. This is not an all-inclusive list. Violations of this policy may lead to disciplinary actions up to and including dismissal from school. 2020-2021 Garden Grove Catalog I Publication Date: November 30, 2020 1 Effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 58
