August 31, 2012 Student Catalog Addendum/Supplement Morrison University 10315 Professional Circle Suite 201 Reno, Nevada 89521 Page 1 of 8
Catalog Amendment: The Catalog Effective Date: January 2012 December 2012 on the table of contents page should be replaced with Catalog Effective: June 15, 2012. Replace Ownership Information on page 6 of the catalog with the following: Morrison University, Reno, Nevada is owned and controlled by High Tech Institute, Inc. (HTI), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of High Tech Institute Holdings, Inc. (HTIH), which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Education Training Corporation (ETC). ETC is a wholly owned subsidiary of FCC Holding, Inc. (FCC). To replace the last sentence under Probation on page 30. A student on Probation that does not meet the requirements of the Academic Recovery Plan is dismissed and cannot return to the same program. If mitigating circumstances exist, the student may appeal to re enroll into a different program after 12 months (365 days) following dismissal. To replace the Repeated Courses policy on page 31 Course Repeats A student who receives a letter grade lower than a D in a required concentration course or a general education course must successfully retake the course to meet graduation requirements. A student may repeat the same course a maximum of 2 times. A student who unsuccessfully attempts the same course 3 times is dismissed from the school. Failed grades (F) negatively impact a student s completion rate (ICR) and cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in accordance with the Grading Scale and Effect of Grades on SAP. When courses are retaken, the retaken course will have an asterisk to signify that it has been retaken. An undergraduate student may repeat a successfully completed course taken at Morrison University in order to improve the CGPA. All attempts are counted as credits attempted and as credits earned; however, only the final attempt carries quality points and is included in the calculation of CGPA. All repeats are charged at the current tuition rate. Students will be charged for each course repeat on a prorated basis in accordance with the tuition and fees outlined in the enrollment agreement.

To replace the Institutional Loan Program section on page 37. Institutional Loan Program Students may also be eligible for the Anthem College Institutional Loan Program. This Institutional Loan Program provides funds to assist students with meeting the cost of education when annual federal student loan limits have been met and/or other sources of funding are not available. Eligibility for the loan is based on the credit worthiness of the student. Repayment plans vary in length, including repayment options that extend beyond graduation. This loan program has both interest bearing and non interest bearing options, and all interest rates and total repayment amounts are disclosed on the loan contract. Students are required to make minimum payments while they are in school, including during a Leave of Absence, Leave of Intent or Externship. These loans may be assigned to a Loan Servicer for collections and to administer payments and monthly statements. Students will be notified once their loan has been placed with a Loan Servicing company. The Business Office will also provide the student with loan information and counseling regarding their loan repayment obligations. Students are encouraged to stay current on their monthly payments to avoid possible consequences associated with non payment. For example, books will not be charged to a student s account if students are 60 days or more past due on their monthly payments. Students may be withdrawn from the College for non payment. Diplomas, Transcripts, Degrees and Certifications will NOT be issued unless the student has met all financial obligations. Late payments may be subject to fees, as specified in the Late Charges section of the loan documents. If a scheduled payment is not made within 10 calendar days of the due date, a late charge of $5.00 or 5%, whichever is greater, of the scheduled payment amount may be required with each late payment as an administrative charge. To be added to page 41 of the catalog: TECHNOLOGY FEE REFUND POLICY A technology fee of $225.00 will be charged at the beginning of each program. The technology fee covers the use of the Microsoft software license, Library/Resource Center, internet access, student online resources and the Emergency Notification System. The refund policy for the fee is as follows: 100% refundable if all courses are dropped during the first week 75% is refundable if all courses are dropped after the 1st week up to 6 weeks 25% is refundable if all courses are dropped after starting the 6th week up to completion of 10 weeks No refund after completion of the 10th week Page 3 of 8
