InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 6 1 Page GENERAL INFORMATION n 99 1� InterCoast Colleges, a private institution, was granted institutional approval to operate by the BPPE, Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, pursuant to California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter 8. The Bureau's approval means that the institution and its operations comply with the minimum standards established under the law for occupational instruction by private postsecondary educational institutions and does not imply endorsement or recommendation. Most of the InterCoast locations are approved for training through WIA, VA, TRA, EDD, State and Private Vocational Rehabilitation. The school has no pending petition in bankruptcy and has not filed a petition within the last five years. ACCREDITATION InterCoast Colleges is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training. InterCoast Colleges has been accredited by ACCET since 1988. Accreditation is the process whereby an association or agency, recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education, grants public recognition to a school, institute, college, or university, which meets certain qualifications and educational standards, as determined through initial and periodic evaluations. The essential purpose of the accreditation process is to provide a professional peer reviewed judgment as to the quality of the educational institution or programs offered. Please note: InterCoast Colleges is offering a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Addiction Studies with interim approval from its accreditor, ACCET. This Bachelor's Degree is not currently approved for Title IV or VA, or other State and Federal Funding sources. Final approval of this program is contingent upon the success of our accreditor's application to expand its scope with the U.S. Education Department. In the unlikely event that our accreditor does notgain Education Department approval, InterCoast will work with its students to maximize successful outcomes for their additional studies. RECORDS RETENTION InterCoast maintains student records for each for a period of at least five years from the date of student withdrawal or graduation. Student transcripts are held indefinitely (effective January 1, 2010).

ADMINISTRATION OF BRANCHES The administrative staffing at each branch location shall reflect the purpose, size, and educational operations at that location. All InterCoast branches operate under the same policies and procedures of the main campus.

A student break area is located adjacentto, or nearthe classroom areas forthe convenience of all students. Vending machines are available for student use. ADMISSIONS POLICIES 7 1 Pag` InterCoast Colleges scltoul Catalog CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION To enhance the success of its graduates and to ensure that only qualified applicants are accepted, the following factors are carefully considered prior to acceptance: 1.PRIOR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND Students must be at least 18 years of age or have earned a valid High School Diploma or GED equivalent for admissions. Students must provide written proof of graduation. Documented proof of high school graduation or its equivalent must include a copy of a high school diploma or a GED, a high school transcript, and/or written certification by a cognizant authority for home -schooled students. A student attestation of high school graduation, which identifies the name of the secondary school, location, and date of graduation,may be provided as proof of high school graduation only on a limited, exceptional basis, if permitted by regulatory agencies, such as when the student's high school closed or a foreign high school transcript is unavailable from a foreign country at war, in a declared state of emergency, or other extreme circumstances that prevent access to transcripts. In such an event, the student's file must include: (1) documented evidence that the institution made all reasonable efforts to obtain documented proof of high school graduation and (2) written documentation to substantiate the extraordinary circumstances that warranted the use of a student attestation of high school graduation. Foreign high school diplomas and post -secondary degrees may require an official United States equivalency evaluation. The institution's student affairs department evaluates the validity of a student's high school completion if the institution has reason to believe that the high school diploma is not valid or was not obtained from a legitimate entity that provides secondary school education. Other acceptable equivalency documentation includes a certificate or other official completion documentation demonstrating that the student has passed a state -authorized examination (such as the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET), or, in California, the California High School Proficiency Exam) that the state recognizes as the equivalent of a high school diploma (certificates of attendance and/or completion are not included in this qualifying category); an earned associate's degree from an accredited post -secondary institution, successful completion of at least 60 semester or trimester credit hours or 72 quarter credit hours that does not result in the awarding of an associate's degree, but that is acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor's degree at any institution; or enrollment in a bachelor's degree program where at least 60 semester or trimester credit hours or 72 quarter credit hours have been successfully completed, including credit hours transferred into the bachelor's degree program. Ability to Benefit (ATB) Applicants Abilityto benefit is defined as sufficient aptitude to benefitfrom post -secondary education without a high school diploma or equivalent. No enrollment agreement may be signed prior to the applicant's demonstration of the aptitude to successfully completethe program to which he or she is applying (e.g. obtaining a passing score on the ability -to -benefit test or completing high school/GED equivalency). Ability to Benefit students who previously attended an accredited postsecondary educational institution must meet admissions guidelines as required under the U.S. Department of Education. Institutions that participate in the Federal Title IV programs must adhere to all policies and guidelines of the U.S. Department of Education, including the ineligibility of new ability -to -benefit students to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs after July 1, 2012, except as permitted by regulation. InterCoast will refer students without completion of high school or GED equivalency to independently operated GED training programs or to GED programs conducted by InterCoast provided that: (1) the final GED testing is conducted by independent organizations and (2) any tuition charged for the GED training is consistently applied to all students. Candidates who do not possess a high school diploma or equivalent shall also be considered for admission to programs that do not require proof of graduation for employment, provided that they take and pass a two-part, independently administered, nationally standardized test recognized and approved by the United States Department of Education that measures verbal and quantitative skills. Effective 7/1/2012, only ATB students who were previously enrolled in a Title IV program and were eligible foraid under the old ATB provisions retain their eligibility. Individuals admitted as ability -to benefit students may receive GED testing locations and will be encouraged to obtain this certificate before graduating from InterCoast Colleges. ATB students are not accepted in the following programs: Associate's and Bachelor's Degrees, Cyber Security, Pharmacy Technician, Alcohol & Drug Counseling Studies, and Dental Assistant. Eligible Career Pathways Program InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 8 1 Page All applicants must complete an interview with a school representative to determine desire, ability and commitment, receive a tourof the campus, and review the school catalog. An applicant who is not a high school graduate or has not passed the GED and is seeking admission into an ATB/Eligible Career Pathways program (ECPP) must take and pass a two- part, independently administered, nationally standardized test recognized and approved by the United States Department of Education that measures verbal and quantitative skills. InterCoast Colleges utilizes the Wonderlic Basic Skills (WBST) Test. A student who passes the Wonderlic Basic Skills Test with the minimum required scores as recommended bythe test publisher, may enroll in one of the EligibleCareerPathway Programs (ECPP). InterCoast Colleges has partnered with a private, accredited and registered provider of adult education leading to a high school diploma. The provider is eligible to provide high school course work to students enrolled in ATB programs that offer ECPP, to provide students with the opportunity to earn their high school diploma while concurrently enrolled inan eligible ECPP. InterCoast ownership has no personal ownership or affiliation with the ECPP partner. Consistent with regulations pertaining to ATB and ECPP students, the institution will require that the student participate In the various components of the ECPP program. ECPP has many components that the student must participate in to continue in the ECPP. These include: 1. Enrollment into andparticipation in the High School component of the ECPP; 2. Participation in academic advising throughout the ECPP; 3. Participation in Career Pathway Coaching throughout the ECPP. ATB Program Requirements - Students enrolled into an ECPP are required to be enrolled concurrently in their vocational training program and the adult education provider. The student is required to attend classes in the Adult Education Program and is expected to participate in those classes. The adult education program will be offered on campus, in a computer lab and will have a facilitator available to support the students. The adult education program is offered online and is self -paced enabling a student to obtain theirhigh school diploma while they are attending theirvocational program. The adult education program is offered by the independent provider and not by the institution. The institution does not guarantee that the student will receive a high school diploma or its equivalent. Completing the vocational component of the ECPP program is not a condition of achieving a high school diploma or its equivalent. Upon successful completion of the adult education component of the program the student may request a copy of their transcript directly from the adult education provider. Any ECPP studentwho fails to participate in both the adult education component of the ECPP program and their InterCoast Colleges program may be withdrawn. 2. PLACEMENT POTENTIAL During the admissions interview, each applicant is evaluated to determine his/her potential for employment in his or her chosenfield. 3. INTERESTAND MOTIVATION Of prime importance is the student's desire to succeed. Evidence of a willingness to make sacrifices is necessary to successfully complete their career program. A proper attitude is essential if the student is to gain the maximum from the learning experience in orderto prepare for a new career. 4.

I I I Page [n[zrCnaa_I Cnllcges .School Catalue CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS TRAINING Credit for previous applicable educational training is accomplished by waiving courses, which are prerequisites to the satisfactory completion of the program. If the course(s) for which the waiver is requested was taken at a post -secondary institution other than InterCoast, a postsecondary school or college transcript and course syllabi, course outline, or catalog or equivalent are required. Thestudent must have earned a "C" grade or better, and the course must have been taken at an accredited school. InterCoast will determine the credit assigned for prior coursework completed and reserves the rightto reject all or a portion of any requests if course content is not compatible with the course(s) taken at InterCoast. Proficiency testing may be required. Additionally, InterCoast students that did not complete their program and students with external coursework credits must have earned credits within seven years from the enrollment or re -enrollment date at InterCoast. InterCoast graduates are not subjected to a time frame limit, and all completed credits will be evaluated for transferability. In the case of credits earned from a "closed school," you may apply to transfer the credits you have earned at a closed school toward a comparable program at InterCoast Colleges, provided you have not received a closed school loan discharge. Cyber Security applicants may apply for transfer credit based upon their equivalent earned current industry certification(s). The certification must match the exact exam listed on the InterCoast Transfer Credit Request form. Certifications must be current and not due to expire during the student's enrollment. The applicant is responsible for providing an acceptable certification documentwith an expiration date prior to enrollment. There is a fee of $100 per academic credit charged for transfer credit outside of InterCoast and $50 per academic credit charge for transfer fee credit for courses taken at InterCoast. All transfer fees are due and payable upon enrollment unless other arrangements are made and are non-refundable. There is no charge to the student for college evaluation of previous credit or proficiency testing. Except in a formal teach - out agreement, or transfer from a closed institution, the institution accepts a maximum of 50% of the program's credits for transfer. Requests for transfer must be made in writing by the enrollee and submitted to Admissions or Financial Aid prior to enrollment. The school maintains a written record of all credit for previous training granted to the student. The institution will evaluate previous education and training for all veterans and eligible persons, grant appropriate credit, shorten the training period proportionately, and notify the student accordingly. Notification will be given to all agencies, including the VA, as required. Tuition will be adjusted accordingly to ensure a pro -rated tuition reduction for transfer credit awarded. Transfer Credits are counted as both attempted and completed hours in the measurement of Satisfactory Academic Progress. Financial aid awards may be adjusted if credits are transferred as acceptable. If the student disagrees with the school's administration's decision, the student can appeal the decision tothe "School's Appeal Committee." See the appeals section for more information. TRANSFER OF CREDIT Notice Concerning Transferability of Credits and Credentials Earned at Our Institution The transferability of credits earned at InterCoast is at the complete discretion of an institution to which students may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the diploma or certificate earned in a program is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which the students seek to transfer. If the credits earned atthis institution are not accepted at the institution to which the students seek to transfer, they may be required to repeat some or all of their coursework at that institution. For this reason, students should make certain that attendance at this institution will meet their educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which they may seek to transfer after attending InterCoast to determine if their credits will transfer. Credits students earn at InterCoast in most cases will not be transferable to any other college or university. For example, if students entered InterCoast as freshmen, they will still be freshmen if they enter another college or university at some time in the future even though they earned credits at InterCoast.ln addition, if students earn a degree, diploma, or certificate in our programs, in most cases it will not serve as a basis for obtaining ahigher-level degree at another college or university. Additionally, there may be a fee charged by the receiving institution for the evaluation and transfer of credit, if applicable. This fee is the responsibility of the student. InterCoast will assist students when requesting transfer to other institutions, including, but not limited to, providing guidance or counseling and providing an official transcript (to those students who do not have a hold on their account), syllabi, or course outlines.

Previous Credits: To ensure unnecessary repeats of previously passed courses the VA requires schools to review all prior credits earned by the VA student for transferability. Transcripts related to all previous postsecondary education must be evaluated, regardless of whether or not the student previously used VA education benefits for the course. Any prior credit approved will be applied toward the student's current program reducing the overall completion credits and tuition as appropriate. Note: Previous Credit does not have to be granted if not applicable, but all previous credit must be evaluated. The approval of previous credit follows the school's published policy located in the school catalog. InterCoast does not charge transfer credit fees for its Veterans students. Transfer of Credits: The transferability of credits earned at InterCoast is at the complete discretion of an institution to which students may seek to transfer. Veterans and eligible persons are eligible to applyfor federal financial aid before packaging or arranging student loans or alternative financing.

Financial aid students must follow up withthe financial aid office to ensure there are no missing or inconsistent documents that will impact eligibility for aid and timely disbursements. VERIFICATION: Students who are selected for verification are notified via email, letter, phone call, or in -person regarding the required documents to submit in order to satisfy verification. Once the student submits the required documents, if the data does not match what was reported on the FAFSA, the student will correct the ISIR data. The institution may correct ISIR data if the student is unavailable after the student provides the documents. If the Title IV amount changes (increase or decrease in the EFC) due to the documents provided by the student, the student will be emailed or mailed a revised award letter. Students who submit falsified information while completing verification will be referred to the Office of Inspector General for additional evaluation. Examples of falsified information include but are not limited to false claims of independent student status, false citizenship status, false identities, forgery, submission of false tax documents or non -tax filing data, false marital status, falsehousehold size, and other falsification with a direct impact on eligibility.

Any refunds due will be made within 45 days following the date of determination. The institution has the right to dismiss the student during the cancellation period if the student is determined to have not met admissions eligibility, or who has not been truthful in his or her application for admission. A cancellation of this type will result in the student receiving no credit for any courses taken. IS I Page [nterCousl Colleges School Catalog RELOCATION POLICY Students who relocate while enrolled at InterCoast may not be able to complete their studies if they move to a country or state where the institution is not currently authorized to offer an online option for a particular program. Prospective students should contact their admissions advisor to discuss how relocation could alter their eligibility, while current students should contact theircampus president if they are considering relocating during their course of study. WITHDRAWAL REFUND POLICY A withdrawal may be initiated by the student's written notice or by the student's conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student's lack of attendance. If a student withdraws or is dismissed from the course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation of the agreement, the school will remit a refund, less the allowable registration fee, within 45 days following the student's withdrawal. The student is obligated to pay only for the educational services rendered. If the student obtains a loan to pay for the program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund. If the student withdraws after the cancellation period and prior to completion of the period of enrollment, and prior to the completion of 60% of the payment period, a pro-rata refund will be made of the unused portion of the tuition. The amount charged to the student shall not exceed the pro -rats portion of the total charges for academic year tuition. The calculation is based on the length of the completed portion of the course relative to period of attendance. CALIFORNIA REFUND INFORMATION The state of California requires a pro rata refund that shall be no less than the total amount owed by the student for the portion of the educational program provided subtracted from the amount paid by the student, calculated as follows: CA Education Code Title 3 Article 13 94919. Institutions Participating In Federal Student Financial Aid Programs • An institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs complies with this article by complying with applicable regulations of the federal student financial aid programs under Title IV of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965 • The institution shall advise each student that a notice of cancellation shall be in writing, and that a withdrawal may be effectuated by the student's written notice or by the student's conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student's lack of attendance. • The institution shall also provide a pro rata refund of nonfederal student financial aid program moneys paid for institutional charges to students who have completed 60 percent or less of the period of attendance. • Institutions shall refund 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250), if notice of cancellation is made through attendance at the initial class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. Once the refund has been calculated according to the State of California, ACCET, and Department of Education, (If Federal Financial Aid was used) the calculation most beneficial to the student will be used. If the student withdraws after 60% of the period of attendance, 100% of the tuition is earned up to the end of that payment period. Withdrawal will be considered to have occurred not more than 14 days from the last date of actual attendance, or when a student does not return from an approved leave of absence, or when a student requests the withdrawal from institution. Dismissal will be deemed to have occurred on the date that the school takes action. Refund calculations are based upon the payment period as of the last date of attendance. This refund policy will be modified to conform to applicable state or federal statutes. If a student is eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government and the student defaults on the loan, both of thefollowing may occur: 1. The federal or state government or a loan guarantee agency may take action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the person is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan. 2. The student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance until the loan is repaid. TRIAL PERIOD Any new student enrolling at InterCoast Colleges for the first time (has never enrolled at InterCoast previously) has the option to opt -in to a trial period of 30 calendar days beginning from the first day of the contracted start date. Any new student may cancel during the 30 day trial period without any financial obligations outside of the registration fee. In addition, during the 30 day trial period, the student will not be considered a regular enrolled student and will not be InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 16I Page eligible for any financial aid. If the trial date expires and the new student does not cancel his/her enrollment, the student will be considered a regular student on the 36th day and may continue his/her contracted program. Once considered a regular student, the student is responsible for all program charges commencing the first day of the contracted date and, if otherwise eligible, will become eligible for financial aid. The student has the right to opt -out of the trial period. If the student chooses to opt -out of the trial period, the student will immediately become a regular student and, if otherwise eligible, will be eligible for financial aid. The student will be responsible for all charges beginning the first day of the scheduled class unless the student cancels within the seven-day cancellation period. Charges will commence from the first day of the contracted date. RETURN OF TITLE IV POLICY Return of Title IV Policy applies to financial aid recipients who officially or unofficially withdraw before completing their program. Official Withdrawal Process: An official withdrawal process is initiated when a student in writing or verbally contacts the Registrar's office and provides notification of their intent to cease their enrollment at InterCoast Colleges. Unofficial Withdrawal Process: An unofficial withdrawal process is initiated when a student does not provide notification of their intent to cease enrollment, and one of the actions occurs. 1) Non-attendance for 14 consecutive days is reported 2) the student fails to return from an approved leave of absence 3) the student is dismissed due to conduct or failing SAP requirements. Withdrawal Date and Date of Determination: InterCoast is an attendance -taking institution. A student's withdrawal date is always the last date of academic attendance as determined by the school's attendance records. The date of determination is the date when the withdrawal process was initiated, as noted above. R2T4: When a student officially or unofficially withdraws before the end of a payment period, InterCoast Colleges complies with federal regulations (34 CFR 668.22) and completes a Return to Title IV funds (R2T4) calculation. The R2T4 is calculated utilizing the payment period of the student's last day of attendance with a full academic year of the program. When a student withdraws from a prorated academic year or within the portion of the program that is not a full academic year, the R2T4 is calculated using the period of enrollment of the prorated academic year. A student's withdrawal date is used to determine the percentage of the payment period completed and, therefore, the percentage amount of financial aid a student has earned. The date of determination is used to determine the time frame for the return of Title IV funds (if applicable) and the notification and disbursement of Post -Withdrawal funds (if applicable). Percentage of earned Title IV funds that were disbursed and could have been disbursed: The R2T4 is calculated within 30 calendar days of the date of determination. In determining the percentage of the payment period completed fora withdrawn student, the school includes in the denominator (the total number of calendar days in the payment period) all days within the period that the student was scheduled to complete (including those completed by the student) before ceasing attendance, excluding days in which the student was on an approved leave of absence and excluding any scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days when the student was not scheduled to attend a module or other course offered during the payment period. Days Attended/Scheduled up to the withdrawal date _ Days in Payment Period = Percentage Completed If the percentage totals 60% or less of the payment period, the percentage earned is equal to the percentage of the payment period completed, and the institution will refund (if applicable) the unearned portion received to the appropriate aid program. If the percentage exceeds 60% of the payment period, the percentage of aid earned is 100%, 171 Page InterCoast Colleges school catalog and there will be no unearned funds. The student is obligated to pay only for the educational services rendered. If the student obtains a loan to pay for their enrolled program, the student will be responsible for paying the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund. Return of Unearned Title IV Funds School's Responsibility: If the school received more funds than the student earned, the school must return the excess funds. The time frame for returning unearned Title IV funds is refunded as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the date of determination of the student's withdrawal. Any Title IV credit balance will be allocated first to repay any grant overpayment owed by the student due to the current withdrawal. The institution will return such funds to the Title IV grant account within 14 days of the date that the institution performs the R2T4. If an overpayment does not exist, any Title IV credit balance will be paid per the student (or parent if a Plus loan credit balance) instructions indicated on the Title IV Credit Balance Form. The Title IV credit balance is paid as soon as possible but no later than 14 days from the date the R2T4 was completed. Effective 71112021, Title IV unearned aid funds are returned in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans Federal Direct PLUS Loans Federal Pell Grant FSEOG Return of Unearned Aid Student Responsibility: After the institution has allocated the unearned funds for which it is responsible for refunding, the student must return any Title IV aid amount that exceeds the school's portion. The amount of Title IV funds that the student is responsible for returning is calculated by subtracting the amount of unearned aid that the institution is required to return from the total amount of unearned Title IV aid to be returned. The student (or parent in the case of funds due to a Parent PLUS Loan) must return or repay, as appropriate, the amount determined. Post -Withdrawal Disbursement (PWD): Title IV Aid earned but have not yet been disbursed to the student, and the student is eligible for the funds; the student may be eligible for a post -withdrawal disbursement. A student is eligible for a post -withdrawal Title IV aid disbursement If the student has met the required conditions necessary for a late disbursement. These conditions include a student having a valid SAR/ISIR with an official EFC. In the case of Title IV loans, an originated loan prior to the withdrawal date and not be a subsequent loan disbursement. InterCoast will send a notification to the student (or parent in case of a Plus PWD) within 30 days of the date of determination requesting a response of the student's or parent's desired action to either accept or decline a portion, or all, of the PWD loan. The student or parent has 30 days to respond. If the student or parent does not respond within the 30-day timeframe, InterCoast will accept requests at a later date. The student/parent will be notified in writing of the outcome of the late request. All post -withdrawal disbursements are applied to the student's account first. If a credit balance is created, the credit balance is handled accordingly and paid to the student/parent as soon as possible but no later than 14 days from when the credit balance was created. Post -withdrawal disbursements cannot be made after 180 days from the date of determination that a student withdrew and no later than 45 days for PWD grant funds disbursed directly to the student. A post -withdrawal disbursement would be made from available grant funds before available loan funds. Sample Summary of the Requirements of 34 CFR 668.22 Treatment of Title IV Aid When a Student Withdraws (Sample taken from page 5-121 in the 20-21 FSA Handbook) The law specifies how your school must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that you earn if you withdraw from school. I ntercoastColleges School Catalog 18 1 Page The Title IV programs that are covered by this law are Federal Pell Grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, TEACH Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs), Direct Loans, and Direct PLUS Loans. Though your aid is posted to your account at the start of each period, you earn the funds as you complete the period. If you withdraw during your payment period or period of enrollment (your school can define these terms for you and tell you which one applies to you), the amount of Title IV program assistance that you have earned up to that point is determined by a specific formula. If you received (or your school or parent received on your behalf) less assistance than the amount that you earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds in the form of a post -withdrawal disbursement. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned by the school and/or you. The amount of assistance that you have earned is determined on a pro rata basis. For example, If you completed 30% of your payment period or period of enrollment, you earn 30% of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have completed more than 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, you earn all the assistance that you were scheduled to receive for that period. If you did not receive all of the funds that you earned, you may be due a post -withdrawal disbursement. If your post - withdrawal disbursement includes loan funds, your school must get your permission before it can disburse them. You may choose to decline some or all of the loan funds so that you don't incur additional debt. Your school may automatically use all or a portion of your post -withdrawal disbursement of grant funds for tuition, fees, and room and board charges (as contracted with the school). The school needs your permission to use the post -withdrawal grant disbursement for all other Institutional charges. If you do not give your permission (some schools ask for this when you enroll), you will be offered the funds. However, it may be in your best interest to allow the school to keep the funds to reduce your debt at the school. There are some Title IV funds that you were scheduled to receive that cannot be disbursed to you once you withdraw because of other eligibility requirements. For example, if you are a first-time, first -year undergraduate student and you have not completed the first 30 days of your program before you withdraw, you will not receive any Direct Loan funds that you would have received had you remained enrolled past the 30th day. If you receive (or your school or parent receive on your behalf) excess Title IV program funds that must be returned, your school must return a portion of the excess funds equal to the lesser of: 1, your institutional charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of your funds, or 2. the entire amount of excess funds. The school must return this amount even if it didn't keep this amount of your Title IV program funds. If your school is not required to return all of the excess funds, you may be required to return the remaining amount For any loan funds that you must return, you (or your parent for a Direct PLUS Loan) will repay the loan funds in accordance with the terms of the promissory note. That is, you will not be required to repay any loan funds immediately, but instead, you will make scheduled payments to the holder of the loan over a period of time. Any amount of unearned grant funds that you must return is called an overpayment. The maximum amount of a grant overpayment that you must repay is half of the grant funds you received or were scheduled to receive. You do not have to repay a grant overpayment if the original amount of the overpayment is $50 or less. You must make arrangements with your school or the Department of Education to return the unearned grant funds. The requirements for Title IV program funds when you withdraw are separate from any refund policy that your school may have. Therefore, you may still owe funds to the school to cover unpaid institutional charges. Your school may also charge you for any Title IV program funds that the school was required to return. If you don't already know your school's refund policy, you should ask your school for a copy. Your school can also provide you with the requirements and procedures for officially withdrawing from school. 19 1 Page _. _ ......__ _._...__ f,rtcrCnnl Colleges School Catalog If you have questions about your Title IV program funds, you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1- 800-4-FEDAID (1-800-433-3243).

STATE OF CALIFORNIA STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state -imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of yourtuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program. It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any other information thatdocuments the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833. (916) 431-6959 or (888) 370-7589. To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed tohave paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following: 1. The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach -out plan approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach -out plan approved by the Bureau. 2. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120 day period before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, or were enrolled in an educational program within the 120 day period before the program was discontinued. 3. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or value of the program more than 120 days before closure. 4. The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so. 5. The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan program as required by law or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs. 6. You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but have been unable to collect the award from the institution 7. You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student loan or loans. To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from the date of the action or event thatmade the student eligible for recovery from STRF. A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a period of non -collection may, at any time, file a written applicationfor recovery from STRF for the debt thatwould have otherwise been eligible for recovery. If it has been more than four years since the action or event that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written application for recoverywithin the original four (4) year period, unless the period has been extended by another act of law. However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number. ACADEMIC INFORMATION METHOD OF INSTRUCTION Classes are structured so that the student is assigned homework, practice problems, reviews, and regular assessments as a part of each course. InterCoast utilizes equipment and industry related software programs. This equipment is located on the premises. Training on the equipment provides students with the skills required to further enhance their understanding and application ofindustry skills and techniques. InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 20 1 Page Some programs are available both online, on campus, and in a Hybrid format. Hybrid courses include both classroom and digitaIactivities such as video activities, assessments, simulations, and discussion forums. Courses include out -of -class work in a digital learning environment such as reading and writing assignments, practice and practical application assignments, assessments, projects, and discussion forums. Students must be qualified and prepared to take advantage of the training program by dedication to a specific task, perseverance, self-discipline and hard work. Students must be prepared to make a full commitment to the training program. Each student is expected to spend whatever time is necessary after the class session studying, preparing for the next day's class activity, and working on homework or other assigned work. HOMEWORK The purpose of homework is to reinforce the classroom learning. Homework is important as it helps the student build on what they have already learned in the classroom and prepares them for the next stage in their learning. Homework is also valuable forteachers, as it helps them assess the progress of theirstudents. Research shows a clear link between the time spent by students on out -of -class study and student achievement. Homework activities may vary according to the needs of the various subject areas beingstudied. While some homework will consist of completing work begun in class and preparing for future lessons, students will also be given work to consolidate what they have learned and to help them progress to the next stage of their learning. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from their instructors in planning and completing assigned homework and any othercoursework. COURSE CRITIQUES Periodically, students are asked to evaluate various aspects of their education including the instructor's methods in the classroom.The instructor being evaluated may receive a summary of any comments but will not have access to the individual student evaluations so that the student will feel comfortable sharing any comments. SEMESTER CREDIT HOUR MEASUREMENT Financial Aid Semester Credit Hour: 1 credit equals 1 (one) or any combination of 30 (thirty) hours in Theory, Lecture, Demonstration, Supervised Practice, Laboratory, Internship, and/or Externship. A clock hour equals 60 minutes of training, of which10 minutes are allowed for a student break. Academic Semester Credit. 1 credit equals the equivalent of either 15 hours of Lecture, 30 hours of Laboratory or Supervised Practice, or45 hours of Internship/Externship, or a combination thereof. ACADEMIC MONITORING Grades are reviewed at the end of each module. Students who have F grades will be monitored for at -risk. The intentof the academic monitoring is designed to assist students with a strategy to bring their grades up, and ultimately complete their program of study successfully. el:L��71�[e%Y.nIm GRADE PERCENTAGE GRADE POINT INTERPRETATION A 90.0to100% 4.0 Excellent B 80.0 to 89.99% 3.0 Very Good C 70.0 to 79.99% 2.0 Average D 60.0 to 69.99% 1.0 Poor F 00.0 to 59.99% 0.0 Failure CR 60.0% or better n/a Credit NC Less than 60.6% n/a No Credit 211 Page IntelCnasl Colleges School Catalog CREDIT/NO CREDIT The credit/no credit grade is issued for Externship and Clinical Internship coursework and for courses for which credit for previous training was granted. Students may not petition for a Credit/No Credit grade in any other courses/modules. Students earning 70% or better will receive credit in a Credit/No Credit courses. INCOMPLETE At the end of the module or course, if a student is unable to complete the requiredwork, assignments, and/or assessments due to extenuating circumstances, the student may request a grade of an Incomplete from the instructor to be allowed to complete their academicwork. Once issued to the student, the grade of Incomplete is given for a maximum of 30 days. At the end of the 30-day period, the student may request an extension from the instructor based on extenuating circumstances. If the extension is not requested and approved, the grade will be calculated according to work submitted. FAILURE A grade of F (Failure) is counted as hours attempted but not achieved and has a 0.00 value toward the grade point average (GPA). Astudent earning an F grade must repeat a non -prerequisite module and/or work satisfactorily prior to graduation. A fee may be charged for repeating a failed course. VA students will not have a repeat course fee. WITHDRAWAL When a student withdraws from a program, a "W" or withdrawal will be recorded on the student's transcript for the course in which the student was enrolled but did not complete at the time of school termination. All withdrawn hours count as attempts in evaluating pace and maximum time, but not GPA. REINSTATEMENT AFTER TERMINATION OR WITHDRAWAL A student terminated or withdrawn from the program must submit a request for readmission or reinstatement to the Campus President. The student will be informed of the President's decision within 30 days following the receipt of the request. A studentwho is denied reinstatement may appeal the decision as described under "Student Appeal Procedures." RE-ENTRY/RESTART POLICY Any prior student who wishes to re-enter or restart at InterCoast must obtain written approval from the Campus President. Credit may be given for classes successfully completed, provided that they were taken within five years from the date the student is requesting to return from drop students. Students who re-enter within 180 days will resume their coursework under their previous enrollment agreement. A student who has been authorized to restart may be required to sign a new EnrollmentAgreement at the current tuition rate and meet with the financial aid intake coordinator to complete the required forms. Any prior tuition balances must be paid in full before the re -enrollment or re -start will be processed unless other financial arrangements have been made by the Campus President. Students will incur additional charges for repeating modules. All re-entries/restarts are processed in accordance with all regulations, including financial aid, if applicable. Student attendance and grade point average are cumulative overall enrollments in a single program. Students who return to school with attendance below 80% and/or GPA below 2.0 from their previous enrollment(s) may be placed on attendance and/or academicwarning upon their return. At the time of graduation, the student must achieve at least 80% cumulative attendance and a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA. InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 22 1 Page SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP) at InterCoast is cumulative, applies to all periods of attendance, and is consistently applied to all students attending similar programs. The policy identifies the consequences of failing to meet the SAP minimum standards. SAP is defined as successful progression throughout the student's academic program. Every student attending InterCoast must maintain SAP to continue their enrollment and continue eligibility for financial aid. Satisfactory Academic Progress is measured atthe end of a period equal to a payment period for all programs. SAP is measured as follows: Students are required to maintain a 2.0 GPA (Qualitative measurement) and complete at a pace of atleast 67% of all credits attempted (Quantitative measurement). Academic performance is based on three standards: grade point average (GPA), pace, and maximum time. Required Completion Rate Sample Chart: CREDITS ATTEMPTED CREDITS EARNED 3 2 9 6 12 8 15 10 18 12 24 16 MAXIMUM TIME FRAME FOR COURSE COMPLETION All enrolled students must satisfactorily completetheir programs ofstudywithin a maximum time frame, defined as 150% of the students' scheduled program length, as noted on the enrollment agreement, readmission forms, and/or transfer forms. Any repeated modules will be applied toward the maximum time frame. Additionally, all attempted credits and scheduled attendance up to the student's last date of attendance are computed in the maximum time frame. If at anytime it is determined that a student cannot complete the course of study within the 150%time frame, the student may be terminated from the program. If a student is a transfer student, the accepted transfer course work will be counted in the MaximumTime Frame. All transfer credits are included as both attempted and completed credits to calculate Satisfactory Academic Progress.A student's maximum time frame to receive financial aid will also be reduced by the equivalent transfer of credit hours towards thestudent's degree or certificate. ACADEMIC PROBATION POLICY An academic progress evaluation is performed at the end of scheduled each payment period during the students' program. If the student falls below a grade point average of 2.0 (70% or C) at the end of the payment period, the student is placed on academic warning for the payment period. Students are expected to achieve satisfactory academic progress by the end of the warning payment period. If the student's grade point average is below a 2.0 (70% or C) by the end of the warning period, the student is placed on academic probation for the payment period. Students may not receive financial aid funds while on academic probation. A student can appeal as outlined above under Financial Aid Appeal/Probation. If the student does not earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (70% or C) by the end of the probation period, the student is terminated from the program. If a student is considered unable to complete the program mathematically at any time, the student can be terminated from the program. Depending on the circumstance, a student could be terminated without entering a warning or probation period. Probation status can be removed early if the student achieves the 2.0-grade point average prior to the probationary period's expiration. Students who wish to challenge a decision relative to academic probation may appeal to the School's Appeal Committee. Please see the section under the "Student Appeal Procedures Policy" for further information. 23 1 Page fntercnasi colic -es School catalue FINANCIAL AID PARTICIPANTS ONLY: Financial aid loans are disbursed for regular 1st -time students after 30 days of enrollment, at the midpoint of the academic year, andafter earning academic year credits. Financial Aid Warning: Failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress will result in the implementation of the Financial Aid Warning. A student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the next Payment Period. The student can still receive Title IV aid (loans and Pell) during the Warning period. The student's progress will be assessed at the end of the Warning Period's scheduled payment period. If the studentdoes not meet the SAP standards at the end of the payment period, the student is ineligible to receive any additional financial aid. Financial Aid Appeal/Probation: If a student is denied financial aid due to failure to meet SAP in a subsequent payment period after notification of financial aid warning, a student can appeal by submitting a written request, describing the extenuating circumstances that prevented him/herfrom meeting SAP standards. An appeal can only be approved if the student can complete all standard requirements by the end of an additional payment period. A student will be notified via email or letter on the approval/denial within three school days after submitting a completed appeal form. If a student's appeal is approved, the studentwill be given an academic plan and is placed onfinancial aid probation. The student's financial aid is reestablished by complying with the institution's SAP policy standards during the probation period. A review of the student's progress is completed at the end of the payment period to determine if the student is meeting the academic plan's requirements. If the student meets the academic plan requirements, the student is eligible to receiveTitle IV aid as long as the student continues to meet those requirements according to the academic plan's requirements. Limit on Reinstatement Appeals: Financial Aid Students who have become disqualified due to lack of satisfactory progress may only have one appeal consideration. Any second and subsequent requests for extended probation of aid eligibility will be denied except in the possible case where there are documented, extenuating circumstances presented. STUDENT APPEAL PROCEDURES A student who wishes to appeal decisions pertaining to satisfactory academic progress, credit for previous training, probation, suspension, termination, graduation requirements, attendance requirements, or any decision relating to matters pertaining to disciplinary action (other than disciplinary actions arising from matters covered under the Campus Sexual Misconduct Policies & Procedures) must write a letter to the School Appeals Committee, which must be received within 14 calendar days following receiptof the school's decision. The School Appeals Committee consists of the Campus President and any four of the following departments: Student Services, Financial Aid, Career Services, Education, and/or Administration. A student must provide written documentation to support his/her position and any mitigating circumstances. The student will be informed of the decision in writingwithin three school days following the receipt of the appeal. Students who wish to appeal financial aid decisions should refer to the Financial Aid appeal process in the Catalog. Allegations of sexual misconduct shall be investigated and adjudicated in accordance with the Campus Sexual Misconduct Policies & Procedures. ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to participate in classes regularly. It is through consistent, uninterrupted participation a student can gain the knowledge and expertise necessary to be successful. Students should keep in mind that this is an occupational course andactive participation is just as important at the institution as it will be in the employment for which this course is preparing them. All students must make up absences that occur during the externship or clinical internship component of the training program to ensure that all required extern hours are completed priorto graduation. If a module(s) is repeated, the attendance from the originalmodule(s) will be replaced with the attendance from the repeated module for purposes of meeting attendance percentage requirements for graduation. If a student has been officially dropped by the school, and is permitted to re-enter the program, the time elapsed between the last date of attendance and re-entry date is not included in the calculation of the student's maximum program completion time or attendance percentage. Students must actively participate in a minimum of 80% of the total program in order to graduate. Students may contact InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 241 Page the student success partner to review their progress in meeting the standards for attendance. Under no circumstances is a student permitted to continue training if it is determined that the documented attendance probation stipulations have been violated. Veteran students will have their benefits discontinued if attendance requirements are not met. ONLINE STUDENTS Regular and substantive active participation online is required to achieve the minimum 80% attendance standard for graduation. A student attends online courses by participating actively in classes or otherwise engaging in "academically related activities". Examples of "academic engagement" include such activities that demonstrate "regular and substantive interaction" include but are not limited to: • Attending a synchronous class, lecture, recitation, or field or laboratory activity, physically or online, where there is an opportunity for interaction between the instructor and students. • Submitting an academic assignment. • Taking an assessment or an exam. • Participating in an interactive tutorial, webinar, or other interactive computer -assisted Instruction • Participating in a study group, group project, or an online discussion that is assigned by the institution. • Interacting with an Instructor about academic matters. Students should be sure to meet online deadlines for submitting their work as late work will not receive full credit. Note: Logging into class without active participation as defined above does not constitute participation, and therefore there is no attendance credit. HYBRID STUDENTS Students enrolled in a Hybrid Learning Schedule must adhere to the Online Student Attendance Policy when completing the online sessions of their coursework. A student attends online courses by participating actively in classes or otherwise engaging in academically related activities. The student must also adhere to the On -Campus attendance policy when attending lab sessions at the campus, Student attendance is recorded face-to-face during the on -ground portion of the program. Any tardy or leave early of more than 15 minutes on campus lab day(s) may result in a loss of professionalism points. Attendance is monitored for campus lab each day that lab is scheduled in the program forthat student. Students who missed a scheduled lab session may make-up the session within the same week. Students with an excused absence who miss an on -campus session are permitted to make-up the lab session within the same module. If a holiday falls on a scheduled campus lab day within the program of study, students will be required to attend additional hours in the week in which there is a holiday in order to fulfill the total scheduled hours forthatweek. ATTENDANCE PROBATION Students that fail to maintain a minimum of 80% attendance will be placed on attendance probation for one module or term, to provide an opportunity to achieve satisfactory attendance progress. Student progress toward achieving 80% is monitored closely during the probationary period. Students who achieve the cumulative 80% attendance in less than the probationary period may be removed early from attendance probation and returned to good attendance standing. If satisfactory attendance progress is not achieved at the conclusion of the probationary period, the student may be terminated. A decision can be made by the Campus President at the end of the attendance probationary period to extend the probationary period if it is determined that the student, with improved attendance, has the ability to achieve the 80% attendance requirement. If at any time during the probation extension it is determined the student will not achieve the 80% attendance requirement (ie: student's absences are so excessive), or, if the institution believes that the student's attendance and academic progress does not indicate that successful completion can occur, the student may be terminated from the program. Page InterCoatl C olleges tichonl Catalug TARDINESS / EARLY DEPARTURE POLICY Students are expected to be on time for each on campus session of instruction and are expected to attend for the entire session of class. A student is considered tardy for class if he/she arrives later than 15 minutes after the scheduled start of class or if they leave early from class. 'Tardy' definition: Student arrives more than 15 minutes late to class on campus. "Leave Early" definition: Student leaves class or lab more than 15 minutes before the end of the class or lab on campus. consequences of Tardy or Leave Early: • Students will lose professionalism points in accordance with the published rubric. • Students will be responsible for any course content missed by showing up tardy or leaving early. ABSENTEEISM POLICY If, for any reason, a student must be absent from class, the student must contact the instructor immediately. Repeated absences may result in disciplinary action, just as it may on a job. Excessive absences may also lead to program interruption and/or dismissal. To meet graduation requirements, a student must achieve, at minimum, 80%cumulative attendancereliability, standards, and failure to achieve the attendance standard will result in the student being placed on attendance probation, as outlined under the section titled "Attendance Policy" in this catalog. Students absent or not actively participating online for more than 14 calendar days will be dropped. Termination can occur earlier if the school determines the student has exceeded the allowable number of absences, does not show that he/she is benefiting from the program, as initiated by the student, or as required by regulation. EXCUSED ABSENCES Assignments and assessments may be made up under an excused absence. Late work/testing must be taken/turned in as determined by the instructor. For an absence to be considered excusable, students must provide reason for the absence to the Student Success Partner, Academic Mentor, or Instructor for approval. Written documentation may be requested. Excused absenceswill count as absences in the calculation of attendance rates and will not increase the maximum number of allowable absences. Only the following reasons will be considered as excused: 1. Personal illness/injury (verified by a physician's statement or hospital report when possible). 2. Illness of immediate family member (verified by a physician's statement or hospital report when possible). 3. Death in the family (verified by obituary or other official documents when possible). 4. Court appearance (verified by a legal court document when possible). S. Medical/Business appointment (verified by document and unable to be scheduled at any other time of the day). 6. Military obligation (verified by official notification when possible). MAKE-UP WORK Make-up work is permitted for excused absences only. All make-up work must be comparable in content, time and delivery to the classes missed and must be completed within the duration of each module. If you know that you will be absent or need to miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to communicate this to your instructor and devise a plan for you to complete the assignments and exams. Some assignments and exams may be able to be done early per instructor discretion (and Campus President's approval) to accommodate your needs. In the case of an emergency a phone call can be made to the student success partner and a message can be communicated to your instructor. Instructors and/or the Campus President may also be emailed directly. To receive FULL CREDIT, you must turn in assignment on the day and time that it is due. No make -ups will be allowed for discussion questions that were missed. Homework is time and date stamped to verify promptness. Homework submitted late will be subject to the following deductions • One day late: 10% off of grade earned • Two days late: 20% off of grade earned • Three days late: 30% off of grade earned • Anything submitted 4 days or later will not be accepted. InterCoast Col leg as School Catalog 26 1 Page Excused absences with documentation will be considered for assignments and quizzes/exams but late work must be turned in on the student's first day back in class. No late work will be accepted that does not fall within the constraints outlined above. LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY If a student needs a brief interruption in his/her training program but intends to return, the student may request a leave of absence (LOA) from the institution. The request must be in writing. Leave of absences must not exceed 180 calendar days in a 12-month period, or one half the program length, whatever period is a shorter duration. The 12-month period begins with the first day of the student's initial leave of absence. The student must submit a written, signed, and dated request and provide an explanation as to thereason for the request, including, if possible, documentation. If unforeseen circumstances prevent students from providing a prior written request, the institution may grant the student's request for an LOA, if the institution documents its decision and collects the written request at a later date. The institution, when issuing the leave, will not grant a leave if there is no reasonable expectation that the student will return to school at the end of the leave of absence period. All Title IV loan recipients who request a leave must be notified by the financial aiddepartment priorto the leave that if he or she fails to return from the leave, it will impact the student's loan repayment terms, including the exhaustion of some or all of the student's grace period. During a leave of absence, a student is ineligible for disbursement of direct student loans. The institution's leave of absence policy allows the student to take multiple leaves, provided that the total number of days for the leave does not exceed the maximum allowed. Leave of absences can be consecutive. If the student's leave of absence is not approved, the student will be counted as absent, and if absences are excessive, the student may bewithdrawn from the program. If the leave of absence is approved, the student may return prior to, or at the end of, the leave of absence, and resume training where the student left off, and without paying any additional tuition for the time taken during the leave of absence. Except for non -term credit hour program, upon the student's return from the LOA, the student is permitted to complete the coursework that was started prior to the LOA. Where possible, students are encouraged to begin their leave of absence after module completion, so that, when they return from an approved leave of absence, they may resume training in the next module or course. If a student does not resume attendance at the institution at or before the end of the leave of absence that meets the requirements, the institution will treat the student as a withdrawal. CLINICAL INTERNSHIP AND EXTERNSHIP TRAINING Students are expected to begin the clinical internship or program externship component of their program as scheduled and must follow the schedule outlined on the Enrollment Agreement. Hours must be completed before the student's maximum program completion time. Clinical and Externship Sites are assigned, on the behalf of the student, by the Clinical Coordinator or the Career Services Coordinator. All clinical sites must be approved by the Career Services Coordinator and the site must meet all school requirements prior to the student's first day on site. Should the student be terminated or leave voluntarily from a site, the school may assign one additional site at which the student must complete the remaining hours, or the student may be required to repeat some or all clinical internship or externship hours as deemed appropriate by institution, based on the clinical internship or externship evaluation. If the student fails to complete externship or clinical internship experience or is terminated at the second site,the student may be terminated. Students are responsible for parking and transportation to and from the sites. Students may only attend an approved site and must complete all necessary documents prior to the start of any externship and/or clinical training. Externships and clinical internships may have a different schedule than the students' normal school schedule. Any change in the schedule noted in the enrollment agreement requires approval. Any student who interrupts externship or clinical internship training for more than 14 calendar days will be terminated. Students who do not complete the stated clinical internship or externship hours or objectives may be required to repeat those hours/training. Students must submit to the school various required clinical internship and externship documents within 14 days following this component of the training, in order to be eligible for graduation. Failure to do so will result in termination from the program. 271 Paga fnterCoast Colleges Schaul Ca011ug GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS In order to graduate, students must: 1.

To enhance the academic program, the following advising services are available by appointment: Academic: Instructor, Academic Mentor, or Campus President Career Guidance: Career Services Coordinator Financial Aid: StudentAffairs Department Substance Use: ADCS Instructor Campus Crime/Clery Act Campus Security Authority: Campus President STUDENT CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOR POLICIES Students are always expected to observe the standards of professional conduct, courtesy, and appearance. An important part of thetraining at InterCoast includes the development of professional attitudes and behaviors to assist students to meet the highest expectations of employment. InterCoast attempts to maintain a "work -like' environment in which students can grow and develop according to the professional expectations of employers. Learning how to communicate and deal with a variety of people, coping with frustration, solving problems, disciplining oneself and dressing professionally are just a few of the ingredients that go into the makeup of a professional employee. InterCoast students are encouraged to pursue the development of these positive attitudes and behaviors. Improper conduct and/orunprofessional behaviors are grounds for immediate dismissal. Students are asked to work in harmony with the institution, its administration and faculty and other students, to aid them to be as fully prepared as possible to succeed in the competitivejob market. Students are expected to treat others with respect. Students are to keep facilities neat and clean for the benefit of other students. A student may be dismissed for possession or use of drugs or alcohol, possession of weapons on school premises, and for behavior that creates a safety hazard to other persons at school, or for disrespectful behaviorto others, or for use of profanity and/or derogatory language. In addition, the following behaviors may also result in dismissal from InterCoast: Defacing, stealing, or mutilation of school property (computers, furniture, restroom facilities, etc.), the inappropriate downloading of material from the internet, use of chat rooms or instant messengers on any school computer, inappropriate use of emails, falsification or misrepresentation of material information in any records, financial aid documents, or attendance sheets, whether inadvertent or deliberate, and activities that create a safety hazard to other persons at InterCoast. Observance of rules and regulations and maintenance of a professional manner are required at all times. Unruly conduct or any conduct that interferes with the progress of others and operation of the school is cause for dismissal, whether that behavior is explicitly outlined in the school catalog or not. As of January 1, 2009, all 1CAHO accredited facilities (which include many of InterCoast's clinical and externship sites) were requiredto take action to create a code of conduct and establish a process for educating staff as well as identifying and managing unacceptable behaviors with a "zero tolerance" policy. InterCoast students are expected to respect and adhere to these policies. Accredited organizations need to establish an education process to help health care professionals understand that, although historically there has been a culture of tolerance of intimidating and disruptive behavior. This can no longer occur. According to 1CAHO, these "intimidating and disruptive behaviors can foster medical errors, contribute to poor patient satisfaction and to preventable adverse outcomes, increase the cost of care, and cause qualified clinicians, administrators and managers to seek new positions in more professional environments." In order to promote a professional practice and work environment, all InterCoast students must follow and maintain professional behaviors in compliance with the Student Conduct Code. Neither exclusively nor inclusively binding. The intent of this policy is to provide students with a framework that can assist them in making their own decisions regarding their own behaviors and those of their peers. 291 Page InterCoast Colleges School Catal oe DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR Definition: Disruptive behavior is a style of interaction with students, faculty, staff or others that interferes with student learning and causes distress among otherstudents and faculty and affects overall morale within the learning environment.

Behaviors that are considered offensive, while certainly not an all-inclusive list, are as follows: A. Verbal, physical, or written communication relating to gender, race, ethnicity, color, sexual preference, or age InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 321 Page which has the purpose or effect of unreasonable interference with an individual's performance, or which creates a hostile, offensive or intimidating atmosphere form em be rs of theta rgetgroup is considered offensive and is subject to disciplinary action. InterCoast will not tolerate any acts of intimidation, or any behaviors that demean, slur or stereotype an individual or groupon the basis of gender, religion, race, disability, color or descent, or national or ethnic origin, sexual preference or age. B. While some examples of harassment, such as physical and verbal assaults, are easily identified, some other examples— including epithets and "humor" or "tagging" —often go unacknowledged. All of the above instances are equally demeaningand are in violation of this policy. C. The Sexual Harassment Policies & Grievance Procedures prohibit sexual harassment. Sexual harassment comprises a broad range of behaviors focused on sex that may or may not be sexual in nature. Sexual harassment includes a College employeeconditioning the provision of a College aid, benefit, or service on an individual's participation in unwelcome sexual conduct. Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the College's education programs or activities also constitutes sexual harassment. Sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence, and dating violence are all forms of sexual harassment. Retaliation following an incident of alleged sexual harassment or attempted sexual harassment is strictly prohibited. The definitions forspecific acts of sexual misconduct can be found in the Policy's Definitions of Key Terms. III. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE InterCoast strongly encourages any victim of discrimination to report the incident in a timely manner. InterCoast prohibits retaliation against those who file a complaint or third -party report, or otherwise participate in the investigative and/or disciplinary process (e.g., as a witness). A complaint may be withdrawn or resolved before the procedure is completed. InterCoast will seek to respect a victim's request for confidentiality to the extent possible, while remaining ever mindful of the victim's well-being. Complaints of sexual harassment and misconduct, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, are governed underthe InterCoast Sexual Harassment Policies & Grievance Procedures. This Policy is posted on the InterCoast website at www.intercoast.edu and also published as part of InterCoast's Annual Security Report. The Sexual Harassment Policies & Grievance Procedures Guidance Memorandum, published below, summarizes these important policies and procedures. Any other incident of harassment or discrimination should be reported promptly to your supervisor, the Campus President, to any other manager, or to president(@intercoast.edu. Upon receipt of such report, InterCoast will take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate what happened and to resolve the matter promptly and equitable. The procedures for addressing harassment or discrimination (other than sexual harassment complaints governed by the Sexual Harassment Policies & Grievance Procedures) may include but are not limited to: 1.

While there is no time limit for reporting, reports of discrimination should be brought forward as soon as possible. All incidents should be reported even if significant time has elapsed, but prompt reporting will better enable InterCoast to respond, investigate, provide anappropriate remedy, and impose discipline if appropriate.

REMEDIES If the person charged in the complaint is found to have violated this policy, remedies may range from prescribed educational trainings to various levels of disciplinary action up to and including termination. Sanctions imposed for violations of this policy shall be: • Fair and appropriate given the facts of the particular case; • Consistent with the College's handlingof similarcases; • Adequate to protect the safety of the campus community; and • Reflective of the seriousness of sexual misconduct. InterCoast may also determine that additional measures are appropriate to respond to the effects of the incident on the school community. ANTI -HARASSMENT POLICY InterCoast Colleges (InterCoast) is committed to providing a workplace free of sexual harassment (including harassment based on gender, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions), as well as harassment based on such factors as race, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation, family care leave status or veteran status. Employees, Students, and Non -Employees: InterCoast prohibits harassment of employees and students by supervisors, co-workers, students, faculty, and staff. Similarly, all employees and students are prohibited from harassing any non - employees. InterCoast will also attempt to protect employees and students from harassment by non -employees in the workplace. In a school setting, the role between the school employee or contractor, including faculty, are multifaceted, including serving as a guide, mentor, and advisor. The influence and authority of many of the school's personnel extend far beyond the school. Consequently, and as a general proposition, InterCoast believes that a sexual or romantic relationship between a representative of the school and a student, even where consensual and whether or not the student would otherwise be subject to supervision or evaluation, is inconsistent with the proper role of the employee, and must be avoided. InterCoast therefore does not allow such relationships. Required Training: All Supervisors and Faculty are required to participate in a minimum 2-hour sexual harassment training at least everytwo years. All non -supervisory staff and students will be provided Harassment Prevention Training generally within 60 days of hire or starting school. Examples of Harassment: Harassment includes verbal, written, physical, or visual conduct that creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile working or learning environment or that interferes with work or school performance. Harassing conduct may take many forms such as slurs, jokes, statements, letters, notes, gestures, pictures, or cartoons regarding an employee's sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation, family care leave status, or veteran status. Sexual harassment includes all these sorts of conduct and unwanted sexual advances. Examples of sexual harassment include: • Requests for sexual favors; • Conversations containing offensive sexual comments; • Offering employment benefits (employees) or other benefits (students/employees) in exchange for sexualfavors; • Making orthreatening reprisals in response to refusals to give sexual favors; • Leering, sexual gestures, displaying sexually suggestive objects or pictures; • Comments, epithets, slurs, and jokes of a sexual nature or about an individual's body; and • Touching, assaulting, impeding, or blocking another individual. Reporting: An incident of sexual harassment may be reported directly to InterCoast's Title IX Coordinator. If InterCoast's Title IX Coordinator is the alleged perpetrator of the sexual harassment, the report should be submitted to InterCoast's Director of StudentAffairs. Reports of sexual harassment will be investigated and adjudicated in accordance with the InterCoast Sexual Harassment Policies & Grievance Procedures. Whilethere is no time limitfor reporting, reports of sexual harassment should be brought forward as soon as possible. All incidents should be reported even if significant time has elapsed, but prompt reporting will better enable InterCoast to respond, investigate, provide an appropriate remedy, and impose discipline if appropriate. Any other incidents of harassment should be reported promptly to your supervisor, the Campus President, to any other manager, or to president@ intercoast.edu. You are not required to complain to your supervisor or teacher if that person is the one harassing youor if you are uncomfortable doing so. For those allegations of harassment not governed by the InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 34 1 Page Sexual Harassment Misconduct Policies & Grievance Procedures: • Investigation and Retaliation: Every reported complaint of harassment will be investigated thoroughly and promptly. In general, an investigation may last up to 30 days, from the date that written notice of the investigation was sentto the complainant and respondent. InterCoast will seekto respect a victim's request for confidentiality to the extent possible, while remaining ever mindful of the victim's well-being. InterCoast prohibits retaliation against any employee or student forcooperating in an investigation or for making a complaint. • If based upon a preponderance of the evidence, an employee or student is determined to have violated InterCoast policiesby harassing another person, the harassing employee or student will be disciplined. Disciplinary action may range from warnings to immediate termination, depending on the circumstances. If a non- employee harasses an employee or student, corrective action will be taken after the appropriate management personnel are consulted. Sexual Harassment and Retaliation are Illegal: Sexual harassment and retaliation for opposing sexual harassment or for participating in investigations of sexual harassment are illegal. This is also true for the other types of harassment prohibited by this policy. However, intentionally making a false report or providing false information is grounds for discipline. California: In addition tonotifying InterCoast about any harassment or retaliation, California employees may complain to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). All employees may complain to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). In California, the deadline for filing complaints with the DFEH is one year from the date of the unlawful conduct. If the DFEH believes that a complaint is valid and settlement efforts fail, the DFEH may seek an administrative hearing before the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission (FEHC) or file a lawsuit in court. All States: The EEOC will review your complaint and determine whether to file a lawsuit in court. The deadline for filing complaints with the EEOC is usually 180 days after the unlawful conduct. However, in California, the deadline may be extended if you first file a complaint with the DFEH. Both the FEHC and the courts can award monetary and other relief in valid cases. For information about contacting the DFEH, the FEHC, or the EEOC pleasesee the posted notice regarding harassment located in the staff break area and/or student break area or check the state government listings in the local telephone directory.

InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 36 1 Page The school will investigate all formal complaints of sexual harassment. A formal complaint must be in writing, filed by a complainant or signed by the Title IX Coordinator alleging sexual harassment against a respondent, and request that the school investigate the allegation of sexual harassment. A formal complaint form may be obtained from the Title IX Coordinator, although no particular form is required to submit a formal complaint so long as the complaint is in writing, signed by a complainant, alleges sexual harassment against a respondent, and requests an investigation. The School's Title IX Coordinator oversees the school's investigation, response to, and resolution of all reports of prohibited sexual harassment, and of related retaliation, involving students, faculty, and staff. If all parties voluntarily agree to participate in an informal resolution that does not involve a full investigation and adjudication afterreceiving notice of a formal complaint and if the school determines that the particular formal complaint is appropriate for such a process, the School will facilitate an informal resolution to assist the parties in reaching a voluntary resolution. The school retains the discretion to determine which cases are appropriate for voluntary resolution. The investigator will prepare an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence and, at least 10 days prior to a hearing,send to each party and the party's advisor, if any, the investigative report in an electronic format or a hard copy, for their review and written response. Such report will include a statement of the allegations and issues, the positions of the complainant and respondent, a summary of the evidence (including from interviews and documentation gathered), an explanation why any proffered evidence was not investigated, assessment of individual credibility, findings of fact, and an analysis of whether a violation of the Policy has occurred The Investigator will use "preponderance of the evidence" as the standard of proof to determine whether a violation of the Policy occurred. The College will convene a hearing panel following the end of the investigation. The hearing panel determines whether the respondent is responsible or not responsible for a violation of the Policy. Both the complainant and the respondent are entitled tobe accompanied to any meeting or proceeding relating to the allegation of sexual harassment by an advisor or support person of their choice, provided the involvement of such advisor or support person does not result in the postponement or delay of such meeting as scheduled. Both the complainant and respondent will have the opportunity to submit written responses to the investigation report and other relevant information to the hearing panel. Each of the complainant and respondent will have the opportunity to review any written submissions by the other. The Title IX Coordinatorwill give the complainant and respondent at least 10 calendar days' advance notice of the hearing. The TitlelX Coordinator may arrange to hold the hearing at an off -campus location. The hearing is a closed proceeding, meaning that no one other than the panel members, the complainant and respondent, their respective advisors, witnesses (when called), and necessary College personnel may be present during the proceeding. The hearing panel will issue a written determination regarding responsibility. The panel will use "preponderance of the evidence" as the standard of proof to determine whether a violation of the Policy occurred. Preponderance of the evidence means that a panel must be convinced based on the information it considers that the respondent was more likely than not to have engaged in the conduct at issue in orderto find the respondent responsible for violating the Policy. The panel will find a student responsible, or notresponsible, based on a majority vote. The panel will generally render a written determination within 10 calendar days after the conclusion of a hearing. The hearing panel shall be responsible for imposing sanctions that are: • Fair and appropriate given the facts of the particular case; • Consistent with the College's handling of similar cases; • Adequate to protect the safety of the campus community; and • Reflective of the seriousness of sexual misconduct. The College may also determine that additional measures are appropriate to respond to the effects of the incident on the Collegecommunity. Either the respondent or the complainant or both may appeal from a determination regarding responsibility, and from a recipient's dismissal of a formal complaint or any allegations therein, on the following bases: 1. A procedural irregularity that affected the outcome of the matter; " 2. New evidence that was not reasonably available at the time of the determination regarding responsibility or dismissal, that could affect the outcome of the matter; and 3. The Title IX Coordinator, investigator(s), or hearing panel member(s) had a conflict of interest or bias for or against complainants or respondents generally or the individual complainant or respondent that affected the outcome of the matter. 37 Page Ialercoasi Colleges scixxd camlog Disagreement with the finding or sanctions is not, by itself, grounds for appeals. Disciplinary proceedings conducted by the College are subject to the Family Educational Records and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law governing the privacy of student information.

STUDENT RECORDS POLICY The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. 4 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. The Family Rights & Privacy Act prohibits an institution from releasing school records or any other information about astudent to any third party without the student's written consent. InterCoast protects the privacy of all students. Students are guaranteed right to access to their own files. Student files are maintained forfive years from the date of graduation or withdrawal. Effective January 1, 2010, student transcripts are maintained indefinitely. Education records are defined as records which are comprised of materials and documents containing information directly related to a student and their education that are maintained by the College. Records are supervised by the Campus President and access is afforded to the College's staff forthe purposes of recording grades and attendance, documenting careerservices and advising notes, and admissions and financial aid information. Student information is also reviewed by the financial aid departmentfor purposes of determining financial aid eligibility. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include: 1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within forty-five (45) days of the day that the College receives a request for access. Students may request a review of their records, in writing and submitted to the Campus President. Students will be allowedto reviewthe education record under appropriate supervision, during regular business hours. 2.

HONOR SYSTEM POLICY (Academic Integrity) True learning occurs only with the spirit and practice of integrity and honesty and ethical principles are necessaryto guide professional development. InterCoast has adopted selected Codes of Conduct and Ethics for each Program. These codes form the basis for InterCoast's Academic Integrity Policy. All InterCoast students must adhere to the tenets of their Program Code of Conduct and Ethics while enrolled in their InterCoast program of study. If it is determined, upon investigation, that a student received unauthorized assistance in accomplishing assignments, quizzes and/or examinations, that student will be disciplined, up to and including dismissal. If applicable, any students who provided the unauthorized assistance may also be disciplined. Any incident of academic dishonesty is considered a serious breach of School Policy and will result in immediate action, up to and including suspension or termination from the Program. Consequences may include, but are not limited to, a failinggrade on an assignment, test, course, term, or module, suspension, or expulsion from the college. A consequence can be accelerated at the solediscretion of the institution, based upon the circumstances, as determined by the Program Director and the Campus President in consultation with the instructor. In accordance with the School Catalog, a student who wishes to appeal decisions pertaining to satisfactory academic progress, probation, suspension, termination, graduation requirements, attendance requirements or any decision relating to matters pertaining to disciplinary action (other than disciplinary actions governed under the Campus Sexual Misconduct Policies & Procedures) must write a letter to the School Appeals Committee which must be received within 14 calendar days of receiving the school's decision. A student must provide written documentation to support his/her position and any mitigating circumstances. Thestudent will be informed of the decision within 30 days following the receipt of the appeal. The committee's decision is final. Below is a list of offenses (not all-inclusive) that constitute academic dishonesty: • Looking on another person's test paper for answers • Giving another student answers on tests, homework, or lab projects • Sharing exam content with a student who will take a make-up exam is considered cheating by both parties • Using any kind of "cheat sheets" on a test or project including texting or cell phone pictures • Using a computer, calculator, dictionary, or notes when not allowed • Discussing exam questions with students who are taking the same class at another time • Plagiarism, or using the words or works of others without giving propercredit. • Taking another student's class notes without permission • Using an annotated instructor's edition of a text 391 Psi",, IntolCnasl Culls, tirhnal ('malty • Having others do your homework for you Submitting the same paper for more than one class during your enrollment. • Submitting the same assignment as anotherstudent has submitted is considered cheating by both parties • Copying files from a lab computer or borrowing someone else's disk with the work on it • Bribing a student for answers or academic work such as papers or projects Buying or acquiring papers ortest banks from any source • Assisting others with dishonest acts • Inaccurate recording, falsifying or altering records Breaches in confidentiality rules Top 10 Questions You Should Ask Yourself about Academic Integrity If other people found out about your actions, could you defend what you did? Is the action you are taking worth the risk and the stress? Is it worth failing the course (or worse) if the instructor knew you cheated? How would you feel about being expelled from school for this action? Is your decision fair to all people concerned? • Does your decision make you proud of who you are as a person? • Have you made a carefully thought-out, responsible, mature decision regardless of what everyone else is doing? • Is it the right thing to do? • If this action were to appear in the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow morning, would you feel proud? • If your family knew about your decision, would they be proud of you? FORMS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY There are several other kinds of actions that are considered offenses against the standards of academic honesty, and among theseare plagiarism, cheating, impersonation, aiding and abetting, collusion and falsification and fabrication, defined as follows: CHEATING Cheating is any attempt to give or obtain assistance in a formal academic exercise (like an examination) without due acknowledgment. 1 Some forms of cheating include getting a copy of an exam or finding out an exam question before it is officially available; copying another person's answer to an exam question; consulting an unauthorized source during an exam (i.e. cell phone, calculator, cheat sheet, hand signals, color codes); submitting the work one has done for one class or project in a second class; submitting work prepared in collaboration with other members of a class without authorization from the instructor; submitting work prepared in whole or in part by another person and representing that work as one's own. PLAGIARISM InterCoast practices a ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding Plagiarism but at the same time, we understand that sometimes suchinstances may be inadvertent or unintentional, especially with the ease of access to information via the Internet. Definition of Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the adoption or reproduction of original creations of another author (person, collective, organization, community or othertype of author, including anonymous authors) without due acknowledgment, and is a form of academic dishonesty. Any use of the work of others, whether published, unpublished or posted electronically (e.g., on web sites),attributed or anonymous, must include proper acknowledgement. Students must adhere to this policyto remain in Good Academic Standing. Therefore, it is highly encouraged that students check their work before submitting assignments. This can easily be accomplished through FREE plagiarism sites such as the following: https://www.grammarIV.com/plagiarism-checker - free and requires email signup forfurther detail. https•//edubirdle com/plagiarism-checker-free and no signup required. Additional free resources may be available per your Instructor, Academic Tutor, and/or Student Services. If the instructor recognizesthe submitted work as the work of another student, even if the website checker does not recognize or score the infraction, the instructor may apply this policy to the submission. InterCoast Colleges School Catalog 401 Page A student may not submit a written assignment where the plagiarism check exceeds a score of 25%.To uphold the institution's Academic Integrity, the following details the ICC policy: FIRST OFFENSE - Score exceeds 25% as determined by the instructor's check 1. Faculty will notify student in writing upon discovery. 2. Studentwill not receive grade on the assignment but an opportunityto redo/resubmitforan official grade without penalty. 3. Faculty will provide guidance in proper citation/s and formatting, to include a recommendation fortutoring. 4. Incident will be documented by faculty and submitted to the Student Services department who will enter the incident into the student database and file the incident report in the student file. SECOND OFFENSE - Score on second submission OR on a subsequent assignment in the course exceeds 25% as determined by theinstructor's check 1. Faculty will notify student in writing upon discovery. 2. Student will receive "0" grade on the assignment, with an opportunity to redo/resubmit for a grade no higher than 70%. 3. Incident will be reported to Academics and Student Services with a recommendation and mandatory meeting for tutoring. 4. Student will be warned of possible Academic Probation if Third/Final Offense encountered. THIRD AND FINAL OFFENSE - Score on third submission OR on a subsequent assignment in the course exceeds 25% as determinedbythe instructor's check 1. Faculty will notify student in writing upon discovery. 2. Student will receive "0" grade for both the work. 3. Incident will be reported to Academics and Student Services with a recommendation for tutoring. 4. Student will be placed on Academic Probation for 30 days. 5. Student may be dismissed from the program if the student submits subsequent plagiarized work exceeding the 25% threshold. IMPERSONATION It is a breach of academic honesty to have someone else impersonate one's self in class, in a test or examination, or in connection with any other type of assignment or presentation in a course. Both the impersonator and the individual impersonated may be charged. AIDING AND ABETTING It is academic misconduct to encourage, enable, or cause others to commit a breach of academic honesty. Anyone who helps or enables another in cheating, impersonation, plagiarism, or any other breach of academic honesty will be subject to the penalties outlined in the institution's policy. The giver need not be aware of the fact that the receiver will misuse the academic work. Simplyproviding it enables the receiver to misuse it and thus may be considered aiding and abetting. Examples of aiding and abetting include sharing a care plan/lab report/formula/assignment/old exam/computer program with another student in person or electronically by email, text, camera, or on a social networking site such as Facebook. Both the ownerof the lab care plan/report/formula/assignment/old exam/computer program and the person who copied maybe disciplined. COLLUSION There is a significant difference between collaboration and collusion. Collaboration is working jointly with others and is often encouraged by course instructors. Collusion is working jointly with others when it is not permissible or when the instructor does notauthorize working in a group. 1 Permissible collaboration includes: • Group workthat clearlyfollows the course director's instructions • Sharing research findings or discussing course materials with other students when these contributions are fully acknowledged in one's individual work In contrast, collusion includes: • Working with another student on an assignment when working in groups has not been approved by the instructor. • Dividing sections of an assignment or project among a group and then presenting it as work having been completed 411 Page Inter oast Colleges S61001 Catnlog individually. • Splitting the tasks for group assignments unevenly where some students do most of the work while others do very little. FABRICATION AND FALSIFICATION It is a breach of academic honesty to fabricate (make-up) research or results. 1 This includes: statistics, experimental results ordata, research methodology, facts, quotations, references or bibliographic material and research and the ideas of others. It is also a violation of academic honesty to falsify information. This includes: • "Massaging" or dishonest reporting of research, lab results or data • Starting from expected results and working backwards • Misrepresenting the research and ideas of others • Falsely reporting having met the responsibilities for a course, internship or externship. • Falsifying one's attendance in a course orfieldwork • Falsifying letters of support or letters of reference • Falsifying academic records and/or transcripts • Misrepresenting the amount of work one has contributed to group assignments and activities • Falsifying doctors' notes or other documentation related to petitions or missed work Modifying graded, returned material then submitting it for re -grading 1.

FACTS ON DRUG ABUSE Substance abuse can cause very serious health and behavioral problems, including short -and long-term effects upon both the body (physiological) and mind (psychological), as well as impairment of learning ability, memory, and performance. Chronic health problems may arise from long-term abuse, and acute, traumatic reactions may arise even from one-time or moderate use. In addition to the toxicity of specific drugs, mixing drugs can compound toxic effects. Illegal, "counterfeit" or "designer" drugs maybe toxic, contaminated, or have impurities causing poisoning, and can be lethal. Acute health problems may include heart attack, stroke, and sudden death (even first-time use of cocaine or GHB). Long-term effects include heart and/or lung damage, high bloodpressure, blood vessel leaks in brain, brain cell destruction, permanent memory loss, infertility, impotency, immune system impairment, kidney failure, and cirrhosis of the liver. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV or AIDS), sexually transmitted disease, rape, unwanted pregnancy, injury, accidents, and violence can result from substance abuse. Using alcohol or other drugs while pregnant can cause fetal damage, birth defects, miscarriage and infant death. For additional information on health risks of substance abuse, see the website of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, http://www.drugabuse.gov/consequences/ ADDICTION HELP PHONE NUMBERS If a person would like to talk to someone outside of the school, they can call one of the numbers listed on this page or call a hospitalor treatment center in their area by dialing information (411).

Our goal is to provide students with a safe environment in which to learn and to keep students, parents, employees and the public well informed about campus security. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure ofCampus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, requires institutions of higher education to record and report certain information about campus safety, including the number of incidents of certain crimes on or near campus. Each year InterCoast prepares this report to comply with the Clery Act. The full text of this report can be located on the InterCoastweb site at www.intercoast.edu. This report is prepared in cooperation with the local law enforcement agencies around our campuses. Each year notification is made to all enrolled students and employees that provides the web site to access this report. Copies of the report may also be obtained in person from the Campus President or by calling 818-672-2100. All prospective employees may obtain a copy from the Business Office, website: www.intercoast.edu, or by calling 818-672-2100. 45 � Pago Inl[ICon'I <nll n_,�s School Culnhre EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES Notification of Campus Emergencies: InterCoast will, without delay and upon confirmation of a significant emergency or other dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on or affecting thecampus, use anyone or a combination of several methods to notify as many people as possible in a timely manner. InterCoast students, faculty and staff may use the institution's internal intercom system or opt to receive text and/or e-mail emergency notifications. InterCoast Authorities may delay notification in cases in which, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, immediate notification would compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency. InterCoast will evaluate the circumstances of an event and will assign the appropriate priority based on safety considerations for life, propertyand environment, in that order. In -progress events will generally take priority over events that have just occurred or that have occurred at some earlier point in time. Actual, occurring events will generally take priority over similar events that may potentially occur in the future. The content and scope of the notification will be determined at the earliest possible point in an event, and the notification may be initiated by the Campus President, Staff or Faculty, as determined by the particular circumstances. The scope ofthe notification - who/which segments of the community will be notified -will be determined by the same people, and will reflect the nature and scope of the event. An event contained in a small area or a single room will likely dictate a smaller scope of notification than would an uncontained or dynamic event. Subsequent notifications to the larger community will generally be made by the Campus President. WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY VIOLENT CRIMES If you are being threatened with physical harm, call 9-1-1.

LOCKDOWN A "Lockdown" is a form of "she ltering-in-place' that is a temporary technique utilized to limit human exposure to an apparent life- threatening, hostile or hazardous situation or threat. When a lockdown is declared by local police or a campus official, occupants ofany building within the impacted area are to remain in their respective spaces locking all doors and windows, not allowing entry or exit to a secured area until the "all clear" confirmation has been given. Individuals may be required to move to a safe location if they are immediately adjacent to the life -threatening or hazardous situation (e.g. shooter, bomb threat, etc.). In all cases, individuals must follow directions of local law enforcement officials. Examples of life -threatening or hazardous situations that may require a campus lockdown include, but are not limited to • Someone has a gun or weapon on campus or there is an active shooter or shots are heard on campus • Serious crime that is actively occurring on campus (e.g.: homicide, hostage situation, aggravated assault, robbery with a deadly weapon, sexual assault, etc.) • Serious crime committed in close proximity to the campus or a campus building (e.g.: homicide, hostage situation, aggravated assault, robbery with a deadly weapon, sexual assault, etc.) Initiation of Lockdown Procedure If the risk assessment determines the need to secure a building or buildings to protect the campus community and to prevent an escalation of the emergency, the local law enforcement officials or campus president or designee will give the order to Lockdownspecific areas or the entire campus. Notice that a Lockdown has been issued will be broadcast over the college's telephone intercom or by other appropriate means. Lockdown Procedure • All campus buildings are to be locked to prevent entrance from unauthorized persons. • Follow instructions and try to remain calm; • Close and lock all doors immediately, turn off lights, and take coverto protect yourself.

Criminal Complaints In accordance with the WIOA and the implementing code of Federal section 667.600.... Federal handling of criminal complaints and report fraud, abuse and other criminal activity. "All information and complaints involving fraud, abuse or other criminal activity shall be reported directly and immediately to the City of Santa Ana and the Secretary of Labor." II. General Procedures for Handling Non -Criminal Violations of the Act The following procedure is promulgated to meet the requirements of Title 20, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 186 through 188 of the WIOA regulations, and Section 181 of the Act (Public Law 105.200: 29 U.S. Code Sec. 2931 et seq.) at the State and LWDA level for the receipt, investigation, hearing, and resolution of complaints by WIOA participants, sub EXHIBIT H recipients, applicants for participation, or financial assistance, labor unions, community based organizations, or any other persons. These procedures provide for resolution of non -criminal complaints arising from the operation of the Santa Ana LWDA. A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act, regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals shall be in writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies, procedures or action(s) arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by each LWDA grant recipient and sub recipient under the Act. These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside of the WIOA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIOA complaint. Also, these procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion Procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure. A. The following principles and rules apply to all complaints at all steps of the complaint procedures: All complaints must be made in writing within 180 days of the alleged occurrence, except complaints alleging fraud or criminal activity. 2. All persons filing a complaint shall be free from restraint, coercion, reprisal, or discrimination. Good faith efforts shall be made to informally resolve the complaint prior to the scheduled hearing. Complainants have the right to withdraw their complaints (in writing) at any time prior to the hearing. A complainant may amend his/her complaint to correct technical deficiencies but not to add issues. 3. Complainants shall have the right to be represented at their own expense by person(s) of their choosing at all levels of the complaint process. 4. Upon enrollment into employment or training, participants shall be provided with a written description of these procedures, including notification of their right to file complaints and instructions for filing. An employer of participants, including private -for -profit employers of participants, may use this or other complaint resolution procedures so long as the participant is informed of the complaint resolution procedure they are to follow and the time frames governing review of complaints are met. EXHIBIT H A "participant", within the meaning of these procedures, is an individual who receives employment -training services under a program funded by Santa Ana LWDA. The Complaint Resolution Procedures contained herein (or the alternative procedures which an employer may use) shall be available to participants to resolve disputes regarding items and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. However, such procedures shall not be used to resolve disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant, as defined herein. If a complaint does not receive a decision at the LWDA grant recipient level within 60 days of filing the complaint or receives an unsatisfactory decision, the complainant then has a right to request a review of the complaint by the Governor. 6. Complainants must initially file and exhaust LWDA grant recipient/hearing procedures prior to appealing to the State except where the State determines that the LWDA grant recipient's procedures are not in compliance with the State's procedures. III. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the LWDA Level A. Receipt Complaints Pursuant to the WIOA regulations found at 20 CFR, Section 683.600, the LWDA administrative entities have the responsibility to conduct hearings and resolve complaints made by individuals about the administration of programs in the LWDA. "LWDA level" encompasses LWDA administrative entity and employers to which the administrative entity has delegated the complaint resolution process. The following comprise the guidelines for resolving issues arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by the Santa Ana LWDA including resolutions of complaints arising from actions, such as audit disallowances or the imposition of sanctions taken by the Governor with respect to audit findings, investigations or monitoring reports. 1. Form and Filing of Compliant Official filing date of the compliant is the date the written complaint is received. The filing of the complaint with the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunity Officer shall be considered as a request for hearing and a decision must be issued within 60 days. The complaint must be in writing and must be signed and dated. The complaint should also contain the following information: a. Full name, telephone number, if any, and mailing address of the complainant; b. Full name, telephone number, and mailing address of the agency involved (respondent); c. Clear and concise statement of facts including dates constituting alleged violation; d. What provisions under the Act, regulations, grant or other agreements under the Act, are believed to have been violated; s EXHIBIT H e. Remedy sought by the complainant; and f. If the complainant is a private or public entity or corporation, and not a natural person, the filing of the complaint must be duly authorized by the governing body of such entity or corporation. The absence of any of the requested information shall not be a basis for dismissing the complaint. A copy of the complaint must be sent to the respondent and both parties notified of the opportunity for an informal resolution. At each step of the complaint process, the complainant must be notified in writing of the next procedural step. 2. Informal Conference Informal conferences will be utilized by the Santa Ana LWDA to resolve complaints; however, such informal conferences shall not extend the time within which a decision must be issued after receipt of a complaint. Attempts at informal resolution will commence with two (2) weeks of the date of filing of the complaint. a. The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible. b. Although the complainant should be encouraged to attend this conference, his/her failure to do so should not preclude his/her right to request a hearing on the matter. c. If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWDA concurs, the EEO Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter shall then be considered closed. d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information and assistance to request a hearing if he/she so desires. 3. Request for Hearing a. As in the case of the complaint, the request for a hearing should be put in writing and be filed in person or by mail. A governing board resolution of authorization to appeal should also be submitted when appropriate. The request should be filled with: Jennifer Sommers Sr. Personnel Analyst — EEO Officer 20 Civic Center Drive, M-24 Santa Ana, CA 92701 (714)647-5348 EXHIBIT H b. A hearing will be scheduled by the EEO Officer within thirty (30) days of the date of filing of the complaint. 4. Notice of Hearing Upon receipt of the request for hearing, the complainant and the respondent will be notified in writing of the hearing ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing. The ten-day notice may be shortened with the written consent of the parties. A decision will be issued by the Santa Ana LWDA within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the complaint. The hearing notice shall be in writing and contain the following information: a. The date of notice, name of the complainant, and the name of the party against whom the complaint is filed. b. The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer. c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s) d. Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address, and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) Officer who can answer inquiries. B. Conduct of Hearing The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to enable adjustment to the circumstances presented. 1. The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWDA or its sub recipients. The hearing officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer. 2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and impartial hearing. 3. The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to give some assurance of veracity to the hearing. so EXHIBIT H 4. The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof. Generally, the party making the complaint has the obligation of establishing his or her case and should be examined first. 5. The party involved should have the right to be represented (at their own expense) if he/she so desires. Other he/she is limited to his/her own abilities and those to the hearing officer in obtaining testimony in the case. It is important that the hearing officer obtain the fullest information for the record. If the parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial evidence. 8. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a recommended decision to the LWDA for final determination. The recommended decision shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board. C. Issuance of Decision Within sixty (60) calendar days of filing of the complaint, the Santa Ana LWDA shall issue a written decision to all parties by first class mail. The final decision shall contain the following information: 1. The name of the parties involved. 2. A statement of the alleged violation and issues related to the alleged violation. 3. A statement of the facts. 4. The decision and the reasons for the decision. 5. A statement of corrective action, if any, to be taken. 6. Notice of the right to request, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the decision, a review of the decision by the State Review Panel. 11 EXHIBIT H D. Record of Hearing An administrative file containing support documents on the complaint resolution process hearing conducted will be retained by the Santa Ana LWDA. The purpose of a record is to serve as substantiation of the process followed by the Santa Ana LWDA on the resolution of the issues and the results. This information would then be available for subsequent review in the event the matter is raised with the State. Such records must be retained for a three- year period after the grant has been officially closed out. The Santa Ana LWDA's written decision will be included in the record. Evidence received at the hearing, notes by the hearing officer, stenographer's notes and tape recordings may also be used. E. Establishment of Complaint Procedures In accordance with Section 683.600, each employing agency including private -for -profit employers of participants under the Act is required to establish a complaint procedure for resolving matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Employers may operate their own grievance system or may utilize the Santa Ana LWIDA's established procedures under Section 683.600. At a minimum these procedures must include: Written notice, upon enrollment into employment training services, of the scope and availability of such procedures. Employer's grievance procedures shall be set forth in a written document and must meet the regulation mandate that a complaint will be resolved with sixty (60) days from the date the complaint was filed. A copy of employer's grievance procedure shall be provided to each participant upon enrollment in employment training. 2. Written notice, at the time the grievance is filed, of the procedures under which the grievance will be processed. 3. Written notification of the disposition of the grievance and a written decision shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the filing of the grievance unless a present and long established grievance specifically provides other limits; and 4. Written notification of the participant's right to request a review of the employer's decision by the Santa Ana LWDA and the State Review Panel in accordance with Section 683.600. IV. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the State Level Section 181 (c) of the Act and the W IOA regulations at 20 CFR, Section 683.600 (d) requires the Governor to establish a State Review process of complaints filed at the LWDA grant recipient level and of complaints initially filed at the State level. Appeals of decisions issued at the LWDA level including audit disallowances and sanctions shall be reviewed by the State Review Panel. The State Review Panel shall review the record 12 EXHIBIT H established at the LWDA level and shall issue a decision based on the information contained therein. Complaints which may be initially filed at the State level will be heard by an independent hearing officer designated by the State Workforce Investment Division (WID). The hearing officer shall conduct a hearing and issue a recommended decision to the State Panel. The recommended decision shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the State Review Panel. A. Form and Filing of Complaint. 1.
