The Stafford Loan carries a low interest rate, according to the market fluctuations. The applications are available in the participating banks and our Institution.

The checks require the endorsement of both parts.

Institutional Uses of the Social Security Number Social Security numbers are confidential and protected by state and federal law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (26 USC 122g), the Privacy Act of 174 (5 USC 552a). The Social Security number will be collected by IBC only when required by law. Except when required by law, individuals will not be asked to provide their social security number, verbally or in writing, at any point of service, nor will they be denied access to those services should they refuse to provide a social security number. However, individuals may volunteer their social security number if they wish as an alternate means of locating a record. The social security number will not be disclosed to individuals or agencies outside IBC except as allowed or required by state or federal law, rules or regulations, or with permission from the individual. The Social Security number will be requested from all students, in order to comply with the requirement of the Internal Revenue Service to supply them with the name, address, and social security number of every tuition-paying student. (The IRS relies on these lists to certify education related tax credits.) In addition, IBC is required to have a valid social security number before an individual can be entered into any business system involving financial transactions. Thus, without a social security number, IBC cannot - 40 -
grant an assistantship, waiver, or provide employment. Providing a social security number is the safest way to ensure that these services are available with the least delay. The Social Security number will not be used as the student ID, employee ID or process or record key in any institutional systems.

Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying. Instituto de Banca y Comercio is committed to a safe and civil educational environment for all students, employees, volunteers, and employers, free from harassment, intimidation or bullying.

Physically harms a student or damages the student s property; or 2. Has the effect of substantially interfering with a student s education; or.

Harassment, intimidation or bullying can take many forms including: slurs, rumors, jokes, innuendoes, demeaning comments, drawing cartoons, pranks, gestures, physical attacks, threats, or other written, oral, or physical actions. - 41 -
Intentional act refers to the individual s choice to engage in the act rather than the final impact of the action(s). This policy does not intend to prohibit the expression of religious, philosophical, or political views; provided that the expression does not substantially disrupt the educational environment. Many behaviors that do not rise to the level of harassment, intimidation, or bullying may still be prohibited by other district policies or building, classroom, or program rules. Counseling, corrective discipline, and/or referral to law enforcement agencies will be used to change the behavior of the perpetrator and remediate the repercussions on the victim. This includes appropriate intervention(s), restoration of a positive climate, and support for victims and others affected by the violation. False reports, retaliation, harassment, intimidation, or bullying also constitute violations of this policy. The Campus Director is authorized to direct the development and implementation of procedures addressing the elements of this policy, consistent with the complaint and investigation components of the procedure.

EVALUATION SYSTEM Instituto de Banca y Comercio uses the alphabetical grading system with a numerical equivalence based on a 0 to a 4.00 scale: GPA or PERCENT A = Excellent...50-4.00 100-0 R = Repetition B = Good. 2.50 -.4 8-80 I (N) = Incomplete ** C = Satisfactory.. 1.60-2.4 7-70 W = Withdrawal D = Deficient.. 0.80-1.5 6-60 P = Pass (Approval) * F = Failure.. 0.00-0.7 5-0 NP = Not-pass * Y = Course accepted in program transfer NR = Grades not received YR = Credit by Exam PC= In progress Cummulative GPA - The cumulative CGPA (average) is calculated by multiplying the total number of credits attempted times by the following numerical value of the grades; totals are divided by the total number of credits completed. - 60 -
VALUE GRADE NUMERICAL VALUE PERCENT GRADE NUMERICAL A Excellent 4.0 100-0 P Pass N/A * B Good.0 8-80 NP Not Pass N/A * C Average 2.0 7-70 I (N) Incomplete 0.0 ** D Deficient 1.0 6-60 W Withdrawal 0.0 F Failure 0.0 5-0 NR Notes not Reported 0.0** * Only applies to the externship in the Cosmetology, Barbering, Nail Technician, International Baking and Pastry, Bartending and Local/International Cuisine and Massage programs. * * Until the final grade is posted. If a final garde is not posted, N will become to be final grade. In the case of NR the course will not be considered as intended and the student must repeat it without any additional charges. PASS/FAIL The Pass/Fail Policy is applied to externship or internship of the culinary arts, beauty and massage programs. To all other internships/exterships (health programs), the regular evaluation system is used. When "P" is assigned to a student in an internship/externship class, it means that the requirements are met, and he/she advances in the attempted credits. This grade affects the student s academic progress in credits approved, but does not affect the GPA calculation. If the student does not complete the hours assigned, he/she will receive an incomplete NP. The student will have the opportunity to remove the incomplete by making up or complete the missing hours during the following academic session. If the student fails to comply in the incomplete term, then he/she is assigned a final "NP. A failed course is counted as a course attempted and not approved in calculating a student course completion percentage. If a student obtained a "NP" grade, he/she is required to repeat the course in order to graduate from the program in compliance with graduation requirements. INCOMPLETES POLICY By incomplete, it should be understood that the student fails to complete the course requirements. The incomplete will be accompanied by the grade the student had at the end of the session, counting as "0" or "F" the work not performed in the class. The removal of an incomplete must take place within the first six days of the following academic session. The removal process is initiated by the student after reaching an agreement with the professor or, if the professor is not available, with the Program Director/Coordinator. If the student fails to remove the incomplete during the period assigned, the Registrar's Office issues the grade - 61 -
that accompanies the incomplete. The grade that accompanies the incomplete will not be considered to determine the academic average until the incomplete is removed. This policy does not apply to internship courses. For these courses the policy of Pass/Fail applies. COURSE DELETION AND OTHER CHANGES The institution reserves the right to eliminate courses, merge sections, change schedules and professors, and make any changes to the academic calendar, if institutional needs require them. RETAKEN OF COURSES Associate Degree: General or professional subjects in which the student obtain F or in core subjects in which he obtain D or F should be repeated for complying with the requirements of graduation. This repetition will be charged to the the student in addition to the first time. The repeated subjects are considered credits attempted in regards to the satisfactory academic policy and they will count in the determination in the calculation of a full-time, ¾ or half load in regards to disbursement of Title IV funds. A student may repeat a subject he already passed in order to improve his GPA. For purposes of Title IV only, a repetition will be admitted. In the cases of repeated courses, the highest grade of both attempts is counted in the students GPA. Diploma: In the case of the diploma programs, the full-time or part-time status of student does not apply to the tuition costs because the total charge of studies applies to the whole program and not the load that the student has in each term. However, to facilitate that the student successfully passes all the subjects contained in his academic program and to be a graduate, the student can repeat subjects with "D" or "F" without additional charge if the objective is to reach the 2.00 needed for graduation. HONORS Diplomas have a notation of the honor conferred to students as follows: high honor to a student with an average between.0 and 4.00, honor to students with an average between.75 and.8, and honorable mention to students with an average between.50 and.74. Associate Degrees - An Associate Degree student, whose average is from.0 to 4.0, will be conferred Suma Cum Laude; from.75 to.8 of average will be conferred Magna Cum Laude and those who obtain from.50 to.74 will be conferred Cum Laude.

CREDENTIALS - DIPLOMA AND/OR DEGREE The institution issues a diploma certifying that the student has completed the course requirements at a postsecondary level, not degree-granting program. The Diploma will state the name of the program, based on the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (USDOL- DOT). Associate Degrees - The Institution grants a two-years degree certifying that the student has completed the requirements of an academic program at the associate degree level. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) The Higher Education Act of 165, as amended, requires institutions of higher education to establish and apply standards of academic progress that all students must meet to qualify and remain eligible for assistance from the Title IV student financial aid programs. Therefore, to maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible to receive financial aid, students must maintain specified grade point averages and proceed through the program at a pace leading to completion within a specified time frame. In less than two years programs, the satisfactory academic progress will be measured at the end of each term that concurs with a financial aid payment period and in the associate degree programs, at least one time at the end of each academic year. Applicability The policy applies to all students, no matter is full-time or part time students or are receiving assistance under the Title IV programs or not. Evaluation Points: In the case of our diploma programs (6, 8 and 54 credits), the SAP is calculated at the end of two consecutive eight-week term (or 16 weeks). In the case of the associate degree programs, it is calculated at the end of each academic year (2 weeks). However, in cases where a student falls in probation, the SAP status is verified at the end of the academic term (16 weeks), not in a whole academic year. Required Completion Rates Depending of the evaluation point, a student is required to complete a minimum of 67%, 75%, 8% or 100% of the credit-hours they attempt by the end of each payment period. *See tables Repeated courses are counted as attempted each time are taken. Transferred credits are included as attempted and as completed. Example: In the case of 67% evaluation point, a student who attempts 18 credit- hours must complete 12 credit-hours. A student who attempts credit-hours must complete 7 credit-hours (rounded to the next - 6 -
integer). Required Grade Point Average Depending of the evaluation point, a student must achieve a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) between 1.4 and 2.0 points. Any course with a grade of withdraw (W), fail (F), incomplete (I), approved (P), not approved (NP), grade not reported (NC) is not considered in the calculation. Only the higher grade obtained in repeated courses are included in the calculation. Maximum Time Frame: Students must complete their program within 150 percent of the credit hours required by the program. If after attending the normal program length the student have not been completed all the graduation requirements, he or she will have an additional time (no more than 0.5 times the normal program length of his/her program) to do it. Students who have reached the maximum allowable time will be suspended from receiving financial aid. Preparatory hours are excluded from this calculation. Repeated courses and transfer credits accepted are included. - 64 -
When a student fails to meet any of the standards outlined for a specified period, he/she will be place on: Financial Aid Warning (Only 6, 8 and 54 credits programs) Recipients are placed on financial aid warning when they fail to meet the qualitative or completion rate components of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Students are allowed to receive federal student aid - 65 -
during the next evaluation (warning) period. If at the end of the warning period the student do not meet the SAP, students must apply and qualify for Financial Aid Probation (below) to maintain their financial aids or they will be suspended from any aid (see Financial Aid Suspension below). Financial Aid Suspension Students are suspended from receiving financial aid if they do not meet the SAP by the end of their probation term and if still not meet the GPA or percent of approved courses required. Students on financial aid suspension will not receive any form of Federal or State Financial Aid (Grants, Student Loans, Student Employment). Financial aid eligibility may be reinstated by qualifying for Financial Aid Probation, or when all Standard of Satisfactory Academic Progress are met. Students suspended from receiving financial aid are not eligible for a financial aid deferment. Financial Aid Probation Students who would otherwise be suspended as a result of not meeting the SAP will be placed on Financial Aid Probation if they appealed the suspension and has had eligibility for aid reinstated. Students are allowed to receive federal student aid during the probation term. Students exceeding Maximum Time Frame are not eligible for Financial Aid Probation. POLICY FOR STUDENT APPEALS If a student is ineligible for Federal Financial Aid based on the satisfactory academic progress requirements, the student may appeal this decision by completing the Satisfactory Progress Appeal Form.
