E. Study Skills Seminars: Study skills and "How to Research" seminars are offered during the school year to assist students desiring help in these areas. Some students may be required to attend these seminars if in the judgment of the Deans, this would be helpful to the student. F. Tutor Complain Policy: Complaint resolution: In the event that the student is unhappy with the performance of the assigned tutor, the following procedures will be followed: 1. The student should explain in writing the concerns with the tutor and give the concerns to the Study Skills Coordinator. 2. The Study Skills Coordinator will evaluate the concerns. If correctable, the concerns will be addressed with the tutor and two more sessions will pass before the student can re-submit a written complain requesting a different tutor. 3. Upon receiving the second written complain, or if the first complaint appears to be irresolvable, the Study Skills Coordinator will appoint a new tutor. VI. CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT EDUCATIONAL RECORDS A. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides the following rights for students attending the Word of Life Bible Institute: 1. The right of a student, with minor limitations, to inspect and review his or her educational records. 2. The right, with certain exceptions, to prevent disclosure to third parties of information from his or her educational records. 3. The right to withhold public disclosure of any or all items of "public information" by written notification to the Office of the Vice President of the Bible Institute. Otherwise, the College may, without prior consent, disclose information considered to be part of the public record of a student's attendance. This includes a student's name, confirmation of enrollment, date of enrollment, diploma/certificate earned (if applicable) and similar information. 4. The right to challenge and/or add to the factual basis of any record entry contained in records, files and/or data. B. If a student wishes to exercise any of these rights, he or she should make a personal request in writing to the Vice President of the Bible Institute. Information concerning a student who is a dependent (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954) may be released to the student's parents. VII. STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS The following standards apply to any student receiving aid from any TITLE IV eligible program. (Pell Grant, FSEOG, Federal Work Study & or Federal Loans) Word of Life Bible Institute will evaluate a student’s SAP to consider if the student is on pace to complete the two year program within a proscribed timeframe and with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. To do this the school reviews various academic benchmarks: Cumulative GPA, Successful Completion of coursework, and the Maximum Timeframe allowable to complete. A student that fails to meet the pace requirements is considered permanently ineligible for further disbursements of Federal Financial Aid. Definitions: SAP – Standard of Academic Progress Cumulative GPA- calculation of the grade point average for all coursework attempted Successful Completion- a grade of 1.0 or better for each course taken Maximum Timeframe- in order to improve a grade or replace an incomplete term a student may require additional time. Aid eligibility is dependent on the circumstance. A. Normal time frame to complete: Students that receive Federal Title IV Aid must maintain a cumulative GPA consistent with the Standard of Academic Progress (SAP). A student must also successfully complete the clock hours in a payment period in order to progress to the next period and be eligible for additional Title IV funds. SAP is evaluated after successful completion of 15 weeks of course work for freshmen students. A student progressing as a sophomore will be evaluated at 30 weeks, and again at 45 weeks. To complete within the normal time frame the cumulative GPA required is as follows: 15 Weeks 30 Weeks 45 Weeks 60 Weeks SAP 661 clock hours 1317 clock hours 1978 clock hours 2634 clock hours Cumulative GPA 1.20 1.80 2.0 2.0 Revised on 5/3/2012 - 42 -
Successfully Completed Clock Hours Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework If a student falls behind in meeting any of these benchmarks they become temporarily ineligible for further disbursements of Federal Financial Aid. Additional time is allowed for the student to regain eligibility and have their Aid reinstated. B. Maximum time frame to complete: A student must successfully complete all attempted clock hours with a satisfactory cumulative GPA within a specified duration of time. The normal time to complete academic coursework is in 60 weeks of study. The maximum time frame allowable is 90 weeks. A freshman student has a maximum total of 45 weeks attempted to complete academic coursework in order to progress as a sophomore. A sophomore must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA from 77.5 weeks until completion. 22.5 Weeks 45 Weeks 77.5 Weeks 90 Weeks SAP 661 clock hours 1317 clock hours 1978 clock hours 2634 clock hours Cumulative GPA 1.20 1.80 2.0 2.0 Successfully Completed Clock Hours Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework Minimum of 1.0 or above on all coursework At any time it becomes evident that a student is mathematically incapable of meeting any of these benchmarks they become permanently ineligible for further disbursements of Federal Financial Aid. C. Withdrawal / Incomplete / Repeated Courses. 1. Withdrawal: A student who withdraws in the middle of an academic period and returns after 180 days may be required to retake all course work upon readmission. 2. Timeout: A student that withdraws and then returns within 190 days is said to have “timed out.” Aid that was returned for their prior semester is reinstated when the student returns. At the point the student meets all SAP requirements and has completed ½ of the clock hours scheduled for the academic year they are eligible for a second disbursement. To complete the academic year the student may be required to retake all of the semester in which they initially withdrew (no additional loan funds are allowable for that period). 3. Incomplete: Course work that is NOT completed will be graded as “Incomplete.” 4. Repeated Courses: A repeated course may improve a student’s cumulative grade and replace a previous failing mark. 5. All course work attempted at the school will be included in the quantitative analysis of a student’s academic progression (maximum timeframe). D. Probation Period: A student may successfully complete all attempted coursework but still fail to meet one or both of the cumulative qualitative or quantitative standards when measured at the end of a nominal increment. The student will be placed on a probation period for the following 7.5 weeks. The student will be eligible for financial aid during that period. If the student does not meet the cumulative qualitative and quantitative standards at the end of the probation period, the student will not be eligible for federal financial aid for the remainder of the program. E. Appeal Process: If a student wishes to appeal his/her loss of federal student financial aid eligibility, a student may submit an appeal in writing to the Financial Aid Office. A committee will review the matter and a written response will be filed within 2 weeks of receiving the appeal. Revised on 5/3/2012 - 43 -
