For this reason, classroom attendance is mandatory. If a studentis 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, asstipulated in the Federal Regulation. In cases where students lose their eligibility for financial aid due toattendance, 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; thismay be for an illness, death in the family, military service, citation to a court of justice or other legitimatereason.In the extreme case where an absence cannot be avoided, an experience or task of a similar characteristicfrom the one missed will be assigned by the professor of the area of study. This way, if a student is unableto attend one or more classroom meetings, s/he is responsible for completing a written assignment or apractice on the stipulated dates. Absences replaced by make-up work are considered as accumulated hoursand will negatively impact the classroom attendance grade. Each professor will submit the classreplacement plan to the Counselor’s Office on a weekly basis for the corresponding data entry ofreplacement 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 than30% of the total course hours as absences, the final course grade may be a deficient (D) or fail (F), inwhich case the student will have to repeat the class at a later time. Each professor will inform students, atthe beginning of the course, how s/he will calculate the attendance and course grade in each of his/hercourses.CONSECUTIVE ABSENCES AND ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALSWhen a student is absent two (2) consecutive times to one or more of his/her courses, his/her professorswill notify the Counselor’s Office. The Counselor and/or Retention Coordinator will contact the studentvia telephone or letter and will proceed to schedule him/her for an appointment in his/her office. If thestudent does not respond or attend the appointment, the applicable partial or total administrativewithdrawal will be processed against the student. The absent student has the right to be readmitted to classafter presenting and explaining his/her reason for absence to one of the following officers:1. Counselor – studies the case, approves and issues the readmission to class document.2. Professor – the last professor to sign the document will return it to the Counselor’s Office.No student will be readmitted to class without having gone through the readmission process after havingbeen reported to counseling. If a student is absent for 14 consecutive days (including Saturdays, Sundaysand holidays), this will be considered as an unauthorized abandonment of the training and the Registrar’sOffice will immediately process the applicable partial or total administrative withdrawal, retroactive tohis/her last day of attendance.- 49 -

DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING A PARTIAL OR TOTAL WITHDRAWALThe deadline for requesting a partial or total withdrawal will be the last day before final exams. The datewill be indicated in the Institution’s academic calendar. Students will request the corresponding form forthe partial or total withdrawal directly from the Registrar’s Office, where the process will begin and end.PROFESSOR TARDINESS OR ABSENCEStudents are obligated to wait for professors in the classroom for 15 minutes for each class hour (1) and ifthe class has a two (2) hour duration, then students must wait for 30 minutes.NUMBER OF EVALUATIONSThe 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, aswell as any other requirements previously established by the professor.EVALUATION SYSTEMThe evaluation of a student’s academic performance is determined based upon a point scale of 0 to 4points (GPA) or percent. This alphabetical system has the following values:GPA PercentageA = Excellent 4.00 - 3.50 100 - 90B = Good 3.49 - 2.50 89 - 80C = Satisfactory 2.49 - 1.60 79 - 70D = Deficient 1.59 - 0.80 69 - 60F = Failed 0.79 - 0 59 - 0Y = Course accepted through credit transferYR = Approved credit by examenR = RepetitionI (N) = Incomplete**W = WithdrawalP = PassNP = Not Pass (Fail)NR = Grade not receivedPC = In processINP = Incomplete and NotApprovedThe GPA is calculated by multiplying the total number of Intended Credits by the respective numericalvalues of the grades (0.00 to 4.00) and the sum of these products is divided by the total number of creditscompleted.A Excellent 4.0 P Pass N/A*B Good 3.0 N/P Not Passed N/A*C Average 2.0 I (N) Incomplete 0.0 **D Deficient 1.0 W Withdrawal 0.0- 50 -

F Failed 0.0 NR Unreported grade 0.0**Y Validated Credit 0.0 YR Approved credit by exam N/AT(N) Transferred Grade PC In progress 0.0INP Incomplete and Not 0.0Approved* 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 becomethe final grade. In the case of an NR, the course will not be considered as intended. The student will berequired to repeat the course without an additional charge.T(N) – “N” will be the transferred grade.PASS (APPROVED)/NOT PASSED (NOT APPROVED)The pass or not-passed policy only applies to courses of internal or external practice for the followingacademic programs leading to a diploma: Regional and International Cuisine, International Pastry andBaking, Bartending, Cosmetology, Barbering and Hairstyling, Nail Technology and Esthetics. Thesecourses 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 therequirements of the practice and progresses in the Intended Credits. This grade acknowledges that thecourse credits have been approved, but it does not affect the calculation of the accumulative grade pointaverage. When a student does not complete the assigned hours of a practice course or is suspended fromsaid course by the practice supervisor, s/he receives an “NP” and an Incomplete, which can be removedby completing the missing hours in the following academic session. If the student does not complete thehours, then the “NP” and Incomplete becomes an “NP” and the student will not be eligible to obtainhis/her diploma until the NP is removed.INCOMPLETE POLICYBy incomplete, it is understood that a student did not complete the requirements of a course in thestipulated timeframe for justified reasons. An incomplete will be accompanied by the grade obtained atthe end of the session, having granted a “0” or “F” to the work not peformed in class. In regular coursesthat do not include an external or internal practice, the removal of the incomplete must be done within theestablished 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 gradethat accompanied the incomplete in the student’s academic record. The transaction to remove theincomplete 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 thestudent’s grade point average until the incomplete has been removed.COURSE ELIMINATION AND OTHER CHANGESThe Institution reserves the right to eliminate courses, consolidate sessions, change schedules andprofessors and make changes to the academic calendar according to the institution’s circumstances orneeds.COURSE REPETITIONASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMSCore and concentration/major courses in which the student obtains a D or F must be repeated in order tomeet graduation requirements. This implies additional costs for students for each credit. Repeated courses- 51 -

are considered as Intended Credits for the purposes of the satisfactory academic progress policy and arecounted in the calculation of a full-time, ¾ or part-time load for purposes of the disbursement of Title IVfunds in a given term. A student will be allowed to repeat a course under the same conditions even if thecourse was approved and his/her objective is to improve his/her grade point average. For purposes of TitleIV, only one repetition per course will be allowed. Only the highest grade from those obtained in repeatedcourses will be considered.DIPLOMA PROGRAMSThe distinction of full-time or part-time student does not apply given that, for the purposes of costs, thetotal 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/heracademic program and graduate, s/he will have the option to repeat courses with “D” or “F” withoutadditional costs if his/her objective is to reach the grade point average of 2.00 that is required forgraduation.DIPLOMAS AND HONORSPROGRAMS LEADING TO A DIPLOMAThe Institution grants a diploma that certifies a student has completed the requirements of atechnical/professional, post-secondary, non-university program associated with an occupation as definedby the Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the Department of Labor of the United States ofAmerica.PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ASSOCIATE DEGREEThe Institution grants an associate degree that certifies a student has completed the requirements of anundergraduate level academic program, as defined by the regulatory entities of the institution.AWARDING OF HONORSPROGRAMS LEADING TO A DIPLOMAHigh honors are awarded to students with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.90 to 4.00; honors, tostudents with an average of 3.75 to 3.89; and honorable mention to students with an average of 3.50 to3.74.PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ASSOCIATE DEGREESuma Cum Laude will be awareded to students with a grade point average 3.90 to 4.00; Magna CumLaude to students with a grade point average of 3.75 to 3.89 and Cum Laude to students with an averageof 3.50 to 3.74 .Graduated students must claim their diplomas in the Registrar’s Office no later than oneyear after the graduation.

Respect for the intellectual and creative workand property of others has always been essential to the mission of institution. As members of theacademic community, we value the free exchange of ideas. Just as we do not tolerate plagiarism, we donot condone the unauthorized use and distribution of intellectual and creative work.Unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted works can harm the entire academic community. Ifunauthorized 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 productsmore 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, andcourse 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 supplementingand/or complementing the material described here.This policy provides practical advice and procedures on copyright-related matters; however, it isnot 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 certainoriginal material that has been written or otherwise recorded. However, the bundle of rights that acopyright owner has (i.e., reproduce, distribute, make derivative works, publicly display, publiclyperform, and the like) may be limited by certain exemptions and exceptions such as, for example, the- 57 -

ight 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 theCopyright Act. The "authored work" must be "fixed" in a physical medium in which the content is eitherreadily perceived or may be perceived with the aid of a machine or other device. Because the copyrightsubsists regardless of the nature of the physical medium, it is an intangible right and hence a type ofintellectual property right.Generally, the reproduction, preparation of a derivative work, distribution, public display, and/or publicperformance of an authored work is the exclusive province of the copyright owner. However, thecopyright 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 entirecontent of an authored work is not generally protected word-for-word, but to the extent that itcontains original expression, it is this original content which is protected. One notable exceptionto this, however, is that works of the United States (i.e., the federal government or otherinstrumentality of the United States) are generally not protected by copyright.TEACH ActThe "TEACH" Act is also referred to the Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act of2002. It provides a copyright exemption whereby an instructor or a student may display or performlegally acquired (or legally made) copyrighted material in face-to-face teaching or distance learning solong as it is directly relevant to the course without needing permission from the copyright owner so longas the copyrighted material has been made by, at the direction of, or under the actual supervision of aninstructor. A notice should be provided which states that the material may be subject to copyrightprotection.For face-to-face teaching, virtually any kind of copyrighted work may be displayed or performed so longas it is relevant to the course topic.FACULTYIf a faculty member or instructor wants to show or play during a class certain relevant copyrighted worksuch as a movie, music clips, or show images of artworks, no copyright permission is necessary nor is anylicensing 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 fordistance learning and/or for textbooks, workbooks, academic course packs, and other materials thatstudents 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) orfair use applies or unless the work is not covered by copyright (e.g., expired copyright, work dedicated tothe 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).- 58 -
