Therefore, in order to maintain a satisfactory academic progress that makes them eligible to receive financial aid, students must maintain a specific (cumulative) grade point average and a good standard in the approval of the courses required for the completion of the program throughout the academic program and within a specified timeframe. For programs of less than two years, the academic progress will be assessed at the end of each academic period in which a financial aid payment is made and for the rest of the programs (associate degrees), at least once during each academic year. Applicability This policy applies to all students enrolled in Instituto de Banca y Comercio, whether full-time or parttime, who receive or do not receive federal financial aid or any other type of aid. SAP Assessment Periods: Diploma Programs in diploma programs (6, 8.5 credits and 54 credits), the academic progress is determined at the end of the second term, every two academic 8-week session, (every 16 weeks). ** For the Advanced Hairstyling and Design program, the academic progress is determined after completing three () 8-week academic terms. Associate degree programs academic progress is determined at the end of each of the program s academic years. However, for students with a non-satisfactory progress or probationary period, their status of improvement or no improvement will be evaluated at the end of the next academic term (not at the end of the year). [51]

53 Minimum Required Percent of Completed Credits For each specific Evaluation Point, every student is required to complete a minimum of 66%, 75%, 8% or 100% of the intended credits to date or at the payment period, according to each particular case. * See tables. Repeated courses are counted as intended every time they are taken. Transferred or validated credits are considered as intended and completed for the purposes of the calculation of the satisfactory academic progress. For example: The calculation of the academic progress within an Evaluation Point requiring a 66% approval of the intended credits, for a student who intended 18 credit- hours, must be 12 credit-hours. A student who intended credit-hours must have completed 7 credit-hours (rounded to the closest whole number). Minimum Cumulative Average For each specific Evaluation Point, every student is required to maintain a cumulative minimum average (GPA) between 1.50 and 2.0 points. Courses with the following grades: withdrawal (W), failed (F), incomplete (I), not approved (NP), unreported grades (NR), or course in progress (PC) will not be considered in the calculation of the satisfactory academic progress. In the case of repeated courses, only the highest grade will be considered. Maximum Time to Complete a Program Students who at the end of their academic program have not approved the graduation requirements will have additional time to complete their requirements one point five (1.5) times the normal amount of required credits to complete the program (extended period). Students who have intended the maximum of credits or time allowed will have all their financial aid suspended. Remedial courses will not be considered in this calculation. Repeated courses and validated or transferred credits are included. [52]

58 ACADEMIC COUNSELING AND RETENTION Aware of the fact that our students experience decisive moments in their lives that require adjustments to their personal and family lives, Instituto de Banca y Comercio offers orientation and counseling services. We offer a variety of activities aimed toward helping them achieve a better understanding of themselves and the maximum development of their potential. Among them are individual and group orientations, seminars, workshops, group dynamics and all applicable vocational tests. This office also intervenes in cases of applicable academic probations, repetition of courses, readmissions, section changes, transfers and all situations that may affect students academically. The Retention Office directly works with attendance problems, authorizations of readmission to courses, excuses and any situation related to the daily classroom attendance. CAREER SERVICES / EMPLOYMENT The Office of Career Services / Employment helps active and graduated students in the development of skills to help them seek employment by means of orientations, workshops, simulated interviews, job fairs, etc. Students are referred to employment interviews in their areas of study. It is important for the Institution that students find jobs. However, Instituto de Banca y Comercio does not guarantee that students will find a job during or after they have completed their program of study. It also does not guarantee specific salaries for the job offers that are available in the market. Students who graduate from programs that require Board examinations receive orientation in this service area. [57]

59 ACADEMIC RULES

60 DEFINITION OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE The academic year is defined as one of 6 credits in semesters. In a regular, full-time program of study, it will normally take a student terms of 16 weeks to complete one academic year and 5 to 6 terms of 16 weeks to complete a program. The number of terms will depend on the total duration of the program in 72 and 8 credits. It will also depend on the amount of credits the student enrolls in for each term and the credits that are validated or challenged. The maximum time allowed to complete a program is 1.5 times the normal duration of the program. PROGRAMS LEADING TO A DIPLOMA The academic year is defined as one of 6 credits in a 4-month period. In a regular, full-time program of study, it will normally take a student 4 terms of 8 weeks to complete one 6 credit program and 6 terms of 8 weeks to complete a 54 credit program. The maximum time allowed to complete a program is 1.5 times the normal duration of the program. UNITS OF CREDIT PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE Our academic associate degree programs are structured into trimester credits. One unit of credit in a trimester is equivalent to a maximum of one hour of study in the classroom and two hours of tasks or work done by students outside of the classroom, two hours of experience in the laboratory, or three hours of practice (internal or external) during the sixteen weeks of any of our academic terms. PROGRAMS LEADING TO A DIPLOMA Diploma programs are structured into 4-month-period credits. One credit-hour is equivalent to 20 hours of instruction in a classroom or laboratory, plus a minimum of 5 hours of tasks or work done by the student outside of the classroom and 0 hours of practice (internal or external) during an 8-week term. ACADEMIC TERM PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE An academic term is each one of the three 16-week terms into which we divide our academic year known as a term. Our calendar consists of Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. PROGRAMS LEADING TO A DIPLOMA An academic term is understood as one of the six 8-week lective periods into which we divide the yearly calendar. ACADEMIC LOAD A program of study is complete when students approve the courses indicated by their program of study. In other words, 8 to 10 credits per 8-week term in Diploma programs and 12 to 16 credits per term in Associate Degree programs. [5]

61 Students who wish to increase their academic load per term must complete and submit the program changes form which must be approved by the Academic Director. NUMBER OF EVALUATIONS The evaluation procedure for each course subject requires the administration of a minimum of five (5) formal evaluations, including a grade for each assignment and/or task and a grade for daily attendance, as well as any other requirements previously established by the professor. EVALUATION SYSTEM The evaluation of a student s academic performance is determined based upon a point scale of 0 to 4 points (GPA) or percent. This alphabetical system has the following values: GPA Percentage A = Excellent B = Good C = Satisfactory D = Deficient F = Failed Y = Course accepted through credit transfer YR = Approved credit by examen R = Repetition I (N) = Incomplete** W = Withdrawal P = Pass NP = Not Pass (Fail) NR = Grade not received PC = In process INP = Incomplete and Not Approved The GPA is calculated by multiplying the total number of Intended Credits by the respective numerical values of the grades (0.00 to 4.00) and the sum of these products is divided by the total number of credits completed. A Excellent 4.0 P Pass N/A* B Good.0 N/P Not Passed N/A* C Average 2.0 I (N) Incomplete 0.0 ** D Deficient 1.0 W Withdrawal 0.0 F Failed 0.0 NR Unreported grade 0.0** Y Validated Credit 0.0 YR Approved credit by exam N/A T(N) Transferred Grade PC In progress 0.0 INP Incomplete and Not 0.0 Approved * Only used in the practice portion of the Culinary Arts and Beauty diploma program. ** Until the final grade is received. If it is no replaced, in the case of an I (N) the N grade will become the final grade. In the case of an NR, the course will not be considered as intended. The student will be required to repeat the course without an additional charge. T(N) N will be the transferred grade. [60]

62 PASS (APPROVED)/NOT PASSED (NOT APPROVED) The pass or not-passed policy only applies to courses of internal or external practice for the following academic programs leading to a diploma: Regional and International Cuisine, International Pastry and Baking, Bartending, Cosmetology, Barbering and Hairstyling, Nail Technology and Esthetics. These courses are taken under circumstances in which it is difficult to use the established evaluation system. When a student receives a P in an external or internal practice course, s/he has complied with the requirements of the practice and progresses in the Intended Credits. This grade acknowledges that the course credits have been approved, but it does not affect the calculation of the accumulative grade point average. When a student does not complete the assigned hours of a practice course or is suspended from said course by the practice supervisor, s/he receives an NP and an Incomplete, which can be removed by completing the missing hours in the following academic session. If the student does not complete the hours, then the NP and Incomplete becomes an NP and the student will not be eligible to obtain his/her diploma until the NP is removed. INCOMPLETE POLICY By incomplete, it is understood that a student did not complete the requirements of a course in the stipulated timeframe for justified reasons. An incomplete will be accompanied by the grade obtained at the end of the session, having granted a 0 or F to the work not peformed in class. In regular courses that do not include an external or internal practice, the removal of the incomplete must be done within the established period of six (6) business days from the next academic session. If it is not done within the established timeframe, the Registrar s Office will proceed to record the grade that accompanied the incomplete in the student s academic record. The transaction to remove the incomplete must be initiated by the course professor and, in his/her absence, the Program Coordinator. The grade that accompanies the incomplete will not be considered in the calculation that determines the student s grade point average until the incomplete has been removed. COURSE ELIMINATION AND OTHER CHANGES The Institution reserves the right to eliminate courses, consolidate sessions, change schedules and professors and make changes to the academic calendar according to the institution s circumstances or needs. COURSE REPETITION ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS Core and concentration/major courses in which the student obtains a D or F must be repeated in order to meet graduation requirements. This implies additional costs for students for each credit. Repeated courses are considered as Intended Credits for the purposes of the satisfactory academic progress policy and are counted in the calculation of a full-time, ¾ or part-time load for purposes of the disbursement of Title IV funds in a given term. A student will be allowed to repeat a course under the same conditions even if the course was approved and his/her objective is to improve his/her grade point average. For purposes of Title IV, only one repetition per course will be allowed. Only the highest grade from those obtained in repeated courses will be considered. DIPLOMA PROGRAMS The distinction of full-time or part-time student does not apply given that, for the purposes of costs, the total costs are for the entire program and not for the load each student carries during a given term. However, in order to enable the student to be able to approve all contemplated courses in his/her academic program and graduate, s/he will have the option to repeat courses with D or F without [61]

63 additional costs if his/her objective is to reach the grade point average of 2.00 that is required for graduation. CO-CURRICULAR AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES We consider it highly important for students who attend an academic institution to have the opportunity to participate in activities related to their field of study or general interests; as well as the opportunity to make new friends. Some of the events that are part of the collegial lifestyle of our students include field trips, conferences, debates, exhibits, wellness clinics, community services, blood donations, job fairs, dances, bands, concerts, and sports and cycling events. UNIFORMS Students are responsible for using the uniforms designated for the program during class, including labs and practices (internal and external). PROFESSOR TARDINESS OR ABSENCE Students are obligated to wait for professors in the classroom for 15 minutes for each class hour (1) and if the class has a two (2) hour duration, then students must wait for 0 minutes. ATTENDANCE POLICY Instituto de Banca y Comercio recognizes that classroom attendance is fundamental to the development of the educational and formative process. For this reason, classroom attendance is mandatory. If a student is absent on two consecutive occasions, his/her case will be referred to the Counseling Office. If a student is excessively absent, this may be cause for suspension from financial aid programs, as stipulated in the Federal Regulation. In cases where students lose their eligibility for financial aid due to attendance, they will assume all responsibility for payments not made against their debt. The counselor or professor is authorized to justify absences when a student presents a written excuse; this may be for an illness, death in the family, military service, citation to a court of justice or other legitimate reason. In the extreme case where an absence cannot be avoided, an experience or task of a similar characteristic from the one missed will be assigned by the professor of the area of study. This way, if a student is unable to attend one or more classroom meetings, s/he is responsible for completing a written assignment or a practice on the stipulated dates. Absences replaced by make-up work are considered as accumulated hours and will negatively impact the classroom attendance grade. Each professor will submit the class replacement plan to the Counselor s Office on a weekly basis for the corresponding data entry of replacement instruction hours in each one of their courses. In the case where a student does not make up the assigned experience or task and accumulates more than 0% of the total course hours as absences, the final course grade may be a deficient (D) or fail (F), in which case the student will have to repeat the class at a later time. Each professor will inform students, at the beginning of the course, how s/he will calculate the attendance and course grade in each of his/her courses. [62]

64 COPYRIGHT POLICY PURPOSE The purpose of the Copyright Compliance Policy is to provide a general understanding of copyright principles as it relates to the use of copyrighted works and also to provide guidelines and procedures for obtaining copyright permission to use copyrighted works. Unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted works can deprive creators and publishers of a fair return on their work and inhibit the creation of new works. Respect for the intellectual and creative work and property of others has always been essential to the mission of institution. As members of the academic community, we value the free exchange of ideas. Just as we do not tolerate plagiarism, we do not condone the unauthorized use and distribution of intellectual and creative work. Unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted works can harm the entire academic community. If unauthorized use and distribution proliferate on a campus, the institution may incur a legal liability. Also, the institution may find it more difficult to negotiate agreements that would make copyrighted products more widely and less expensively available to members of the academic community. This policy covers classroom issues such as photocopying, online and computers and software users, and course packs. It also covers library uses for print and electronic reserves, library and document delivery. Other copyright and intellectual property policies may complement this policy by either supplementing and/or complementing the material described here. This policy provides practical advice and procedures on copyright-related matters; however, it is not a substitute for legal advice, and proper legal advice should be obtained when necessary. COPYRIGHT DEFINITION Copyright law falls within the ambit of intellectual property. Copyright is a limited right to certain original material that has been written or otherwise recorded. However, the bundle of rights that a copyright owner has (i.e., reproduce, distribute, make derivative works, publicly display, publicly perform, and the like) may be limited by certain exemptions and exceptions such as, for example, the right of first sale, the TEACH Act, fair use, the library exception, the right to make archival copies, among others. COPYRIGHT PROTECTED Copyright" protects the original content of an authored work for a limited time as defined by the Copyright Act. The "authored work" must be "fixed" in a physical medium in which the content is either readily perceived or may be perceived with the aid of a machine or other device. Because the copyright subsists regardless of the nature of the physical medium, it is an intangible right and hence a type of intellectual property right. Generally, the reproduction, preparation of a derivative work, distribution, public display, and/or public performance of an authored work is the exclusive province of the copyright owner. However, the copyright owner may license one or more of these rights to another third party. Copyright law does not protect ideas, procedures, principles, methods of operation, or facts, although compilations containing this information may be protected. In other words, the entire content of an authored work is not generally protected word-for-word, but to the extent that it [6]

65 contains original expression, it is this original content which is protected. One notable exception to this, however, is that works of the United States (i.e., the federal government or other instrumentality of the United States) are generally not protected by copyright. TEACH Act The "TEACH" Act is also referred to the Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act of It provides a copyright exemption whereby an instructor or a student may display or perform legally acquired (or legally made) copyrighted material in face-to-face teaching or distance learning so long as it is directly relevant to the course without needing permission from the copyright owner so long as the copyrighted material has been made by, at the direction of, or under the actual supervision of an instructor. A notice should be provided which states that the material may be subject to copyright protection. For face-to-face teaching, virtually any kind of copyrighted work may be displayed or performed so long as it is relevant to the course topic. FACULTY If a faculty member or instructor wants to show or play during a class certain relevant copyrighted work such as a movie, music clips, or show images of artworks, no copyright permission is necessary nor is any licensing fee required in the context of a face-to-face teaching activity in a traditional classroom setting. However, this exception does not cover copyrighted works that are designed or otherwise marketed for distance learning and/or for textbooks, workbooks, academic course packs, and other materials that students generally purchase for class. Further, this exception also does not cover any material which the instructor wants students to study, read, listen, or watch on their own time outside of class. Accordingly, unless such an exception such as the "face-to-face teaching" exception (i.e., TEACH Act) or fair use applies or unless the work is not covered by copyright (e.g., expired copyright, work dedicated to the public domain, etc.), one must obtain copyright permission to use the work (including reproduce, distribute, make a derivative work, publicly perform, and/or publicly display). DIPLOMAS AND HONORS PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE The Institution grants an associate degree that certifies a student has completed the requirements of an undergraduate level academic program, as defined by the regulatory entities of the institution. PROGRAMS LEADING TO A DIPLOMA The Institution grants a diploma that certifies a student has completed the requirements of a technical/professional, post-secondary, non-university program associated with an occupation as defined by the Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the Department of Labor of the United States of America.
