Definition of Credit 

Academic credit is measured in quarter credit hours . Credits are based on 

the amount of time students spend in class, in a laboratory setting, on an 

externship or a combination of the three . Additionally, credits are based on 

the amount of time students spend on out-of-class activities such as readings, 

research, writing papers, and/or working on assignments and projects 

Students are enrolled in classes every four weeks . A clock hour is equal to 50 

minutes of instruction . One-quarter credit hour is equivalent to a minimum 

of 10 clock hours in class, 20 clock hours in a laboratory, and 30 clock hours 

devoted to externship or a combination of the three . Students are expected to 

spend two hours working on out-of-class activities for every one hour in the 

classroom . For example, if a student is scheduled for 10 hours of classroom 

instruction in a week, he or she would be expected to spend 20 hours working 

on out-of-class activities . Therefore, it is very important that students budget 

their time to allow for completion of supplementary learning activities to 

ensure success in their studies . 

Course Numbering System 

For undergraduate programs, Courses numbered 100 to 299 are considered 

basic to the learning process of the student . Courses numbered 300 to 499 are 

generally considered upper-level work . Master’s program courses are numbered 

500 to 699 .

Academic Information 

Distance Education (Idaho Education Network) 

Distance learning students taking programs delivered via the Idaho Education 

Network (IEN) from remote sites across Idaho will do so synchronously by 

way of video conference technologies and will participate and interact with 

students taking the same programs at the Boise branch of Stevens-Henager 

College Ogden/West Haven as well as with students at other remote locations . 

Students attending from the remote sites will be required to participate in an 

IEN orientation from their respective remote site . All remote students will 

perform all assignments and examinations online in a timely manner . Students 

will be required to abide by the same standards as applicable for students taking 

online courses and students of the Boise branch of Stevens-Henager College 

Ogden/West Haven . 

Fully Online Student Standards 

The use of the following standards promotes student success . Students will 

experience a higher level of quality in their course work if these standards are 

followed . 

1 . Students must make available current contact information (including phone 

numbers and email address) so that the course facilitator (instructor), other 

students, and administrators may make contact if needed . 

2 . Online students are expected to be self-directed . Students must organize 

their time, plan their course assignments and projects to meet due dates, 

communicate well, and seek other sources beyond the textbook to meet 

their learning goals . 

3 . Students are required to log into their courses and participate in 

discussions each week (see section on attendance) of the module . Students 

should expect an average of 20 hours of outside-of-class course activities 

each week for each 40-hour online course . Students should allow plenty 

of time to complete course academic requirements . The student should 

create a schedule and maintain that schedule to stay on track with his or 

her coursework . Consult the college catalog for course credits and hours . 

4 . Students are to post all weekly assignments and complete all course 

requirements by the designated due dates in the course outline . Students 

who have circumstances that prevent them from participating or 

completing an assignment on time must communicate with the course 

instructor . 

5 . Participation grade is 25% of the overall course grade . This grade relies 

heavily on the required postings to other students . Postings that are 

inappropriate or are of no academic substance will not be counted . 

Meaningful dialogue is the cornerstone of online learning . 

6 . Students are expected to provide specific feedback in the Course Evaluation 

at the end of each course . The College welcomes candid and appropriate 

feedback from students . 

7 . Students are expected to utilize credible resources when researching 

subjects for course papers, projects, etc . Online library resources are 

available, including help from the College’s librarian . Students are 

expected to use the College’s library whenever possible . 

8 . Plagiarism and cheating are not tolerated . 

9 . Student complaints and grievances are addressed in accordance with the 

complaints and grievances procedures identified in the college catalog . 

Student Online Attendance Requirements and Procedures 

1 . Students must log in the first week of the term in order to avoid termination 

from the course due to lack of attendance . Attendance for online classes is 

defined as logging in plus participating in class while online . 

2 . It is required that students log in and participate each week . Students 

are required to participate in discussions each week of the module by 

posting a response to the questions posted by instructors . It is suggested 

that students check the threaded discussions on a daily basis to continue 

76 

dialogue by responding to those who have posted to previous postings . 

3 . Students who are unable to meet the attendance requirements must 

communicate immediately with the instructor . Instructors may make 

provisions to accommodate students based on the circumstances . Special 

provisions will not be made for students who procrastinate . 

4 . Students not participating or logging in will be terminated from the online 

course . If a learner has technical problems, he or she must communicate 

this problem immediately to his or her instructor and campus Dean to 

avoid being terminated from the course . 

5 . Online instructors may bring student attendance issues to the campus 

Dean for assistance in making contact with the student if the student is 

concurrently enrolled online and on-ground . 

Student Guidelines and Procedures for Online Communication 

1 . Use inclusive language whenever communicating with others . A student 

must always communicate with best intentions and assume the same 

when another student communicates with that same student . The use of 

emoticons can be helpful . 

2 . Students must consistently practice excellent communication skills . Use 

resources to check word usage, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization . 

Strive for high quality written work in the discussion area, assignments, 

projects, exams, etc . Students are required to use complete sentences and 

appropriate capitalization . Using all caps or all lower case is unacceptable . It 

is strongly suggested that students format their discussion postings in Word, 

check for grammar and spelling, then paste them in the discussion area . 

3 . Introduction to a student’s peers in each class . Make a point to get to know 

someone personally and academically . Make a point to include someone 

who appears to be “sitting on the sidelines” . Ask for his or her opinion and 

promote meaningful discussion . 

4 . The faculty will normally respond to the receipt of student work such as 

projects, assignments, evaluations, and exams within 48 hours, excluding 

weekends and holidays . If an instructor does not respond to a student’s 

communication within 24 to 48 hours, assume there is a technical 

problem . Try calling the instructor or the Help Desk . 

The Online Student Handbook has a complete and detailed explanation of all 

facets of the online delivery method and is available at all campuses or online . 

Hybrid Education Delivery 

The hybrid educational delivery process integrates the benefits of the traditional 

face-to-face (FTF) teaching methodology with the flexibility and convenience 

of the online delivery method . Students enrolled in hybrid courses attend 

regularly scheduled FTF sessions with the instructor assigned to teach the 

course and the other students enrolled in the course . The activities conducted 

during the FTF sessions include but are not limited to lecture, hands-on 

laboratory assignments, classroom discussion, and other group activities . 

During the online portion of the course, students engage in synchronous and/ 

or asynchronous interaction with fellow students and the instructor, exposure 

to downloadable multi-media presentations, online research, and more . 

The basic standards that apply to fully online students also apply to hybrid 

students while they are working online . Some specific expectations are listed 

below . 

Hybrid Course Standards 

• Each “hybrid” class will require 40 contact hours of combined face-to-face 

(FTF) and online participation/attendance . 

• Amount of time allocated for FTF and online is determined by the 

requirements of the course (i .e ., contact hours required to meet course 

description and learning objectives) . 

• Hybrid students may be withdrawn during week 1 if they fail to attend the 

FTF or online portion of the course .

• Participation/attendance can equal a minimum of 25% of overall final 

grade . 

A complete explanation of the hybrid learning system and all the student 

requirements can be reviewed in the Student Handbook for the Delivery of 

Hybrid Courses available at all campuses and online . 

Certifications and Licenses 

All arrangements, registration, and fees for certification and licensing 

examinations are the responsibility of the student . Check with the state for 

available licensing examinations . The college will reimburse, within six months 

after graduation, a portion of the examination fees for successful completion 

of certification or licensing examinations, up to a total of $200 . No fees will be 

reimbursed for the ADN program . The college makes no representation that 

a student will be able to pass certification or licensing examinations or as to a 

specific outcome resulting from a student’s successfully obtaining or passing 

a certification or license examination . See the disclosure statements that 

accompany the enrollment agreement . Certification is available for the Medical 

Specialties programs through the National Certification and Competency 

Testing organization and the National Healthcareer Association . Certification 

for Computer programs are available through Prometric in Microsoft, Novell, 

Cisco, A+, Network +, Server +, Linux +, and Mouse, Security + . An available 

certification for business programs is QuickBooks . 

California College San Diego only: Certification or license examinations for 

the College’s programs include but are not limited to the American Heart 

Association’s Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support 

(ACLS) certifications for the Respiratory Therapy program, certifications 

through the National Certification and Competency Testing organization for 

the Medical Specialties program, and for Business, Accounting, and Computer 

Science programs through Sylvan Prometrics . 

Medical Specialties Program 

The College’s Medical Specialties program is a high-value program especially 

developed by the College to provide many different competencies all in one . 

Please check with your individual campus for details . Objectives of the program 

include preparing students for possible certification or licensing in various 

medical specialties; however, students should be aware that in most cases 

additional training and/or clinical experience will be required to sit for certain 

certification or licensure examinations . (Note: the radiology courses are limited 

in their scope and do not make a student eligible for an RRT certification .) The 

Medical Specialties program is designed to provide the College’s graduates with 

versatile career options . It provides students the opportunity to choose from 

among a variety of jobs in many different medical fields . Another benefit of the 

program is that most of the credits will transfer into the College’s Bachelor of 

Science degree in Healthcare Administration or the Bachelor of Science degree 

in Health Science . 

International Students 

The Ogden/West Haven, Salt Lake City/Murray, Logan, and California College 

San Diego campuses are SEVIS-certified to accept international students into 

their undergraduate and graduate programs . International students coming 

into the master’s program are required to take one Cultural Assimilation 

course: WS01—Employment in the United States . 

Curricular Practical Training 

International students enrolled in the College’s master’s degree programs 

are required to participate in Curricular Practical Training (CPT) . Students 

participating in CPT are required as part of their curriculum to work in a 

position related to their field of study . The student will work for a private 

employer and not for the school . The student’s employer pays wages directly 

to the student . Students can apply to SEVIS for OPT 90 days prior to CPT 

completion . 

Housing 

No campus-based housing is available at any campus . Students must find their 

own housing arrangements, and the campus has no responsibility for housing, 

does not make recommendations for housing, nor does it advise students on 

available housing facilities . 



Class Size 

Class size will vary . The maximum scheduled for laboratory classes is 25, and 

the maximum scheduled for lecture classes is 60 students . The maximum 

scheduled for online classes is 34 students . 

Class Schedule 

Classes are offered in a classroom format and certain courses are available by 

hybrid and by online instruction . 

Course delivery methods: 

1 . Face-to-Face—each course meets face to face at a specific time and 

location . 

2 . Asynchronous Distance—Internet-based courses that are not time or 

location specific . A student interacts with the coursework, prepared by an 

instructor, using the Internet and our Learning Management System . 

3 . Synchronous Distance—Internet courses that are time but not location 

specific (i .e ., classes are scheduled for a specific time but can be accessed 

via the Internet) . Students interact in real-time with classmates and the 

instructor using the Internet and a software product called Elluminate . 

Elluminate allows the students to ask questions either verbally or through 

text and get responses immediately . 

4 . Hybrid—a hybrid course involves elements of both face-to-face and 

online (distance) delivery methods . 

Day Program: Classes are regularly scheduled Monday through Thursday . The 

day class schedule is from 8:30 a .m . to 2:30 p .m ., with appropriate scheduled 

breaks . Hours may vary by campus . Please check with your campus for 

scheduled hours . The period(s) students are expected to attend class meetings 

can vary from module to module depending upon the number of courses into 

which an individual student is scheduled and the delivery method used for 

that course . Afternoons Monday through Thursday, Friday, or Saturday class 

meetings may be scheduled as needed for courses and for enrichment, tutoring, 

advising, and externship or lab activities . 

Evening Program: Classes are regularly scheduled Monday through Thursday . 

The evening class schedule is divided into two periods and runs from 6:00 

p .m . to 10:00 p .m ., with scheduled breaks . Classes may also be scheduled on 

Friday and Saturday between 8 a .m . and 8 p .m . Hours may vary by campus . 

Please check with your campus for scheduled hours . The period(s) students are 

expected to attend class meetings can vary from module to module depending 

upon the number of courses for which an individual student is scheduled and 

the delivery method used for that course . Friday or Saturday class meetings 

may be scheduled as needed for courses and for enrichment, tutoring, advising, 

and externship or lab activities . 

Evening Program for Nursing Courses: Classes are scheduled Monday through 

Thursday from 4:30 p .m . until 10 p .m ., with scheduled breaks . Two periods 

are scheduled each four-week period (module) . The first period is scheduled 

from 4:30 p .m . to 7:25 p .m ., and the second period is scheduled from 7:30 

p .m . to 10:00 p .m . 

Extern/Clinical: The times and locations of clinical rotations and externship 

assignments are variable and depend upon hospital and externship site 

demands . In their clinical rotations, students will spend 36 hours per week at 

a clinical setting (hours and schedules vary by site, but students should plan 

on working the day shift), and four hours per week of case study review at the 

campus . Due to the dynamic and limited nature of the clinical environment, 

students do not necessarily receive their choice of clinical sites . Students, at 

their own expense, may have to travel to participate in clinical rotations and 

externship assignments . 

77


Course Load: Students will routinely be scheduled in courses totaling at least 

18 quarter credits every sixteen weeks (except Nurse Education courses) . 

However, course loads may vary from module to module depending upon the 

student’s program, academic performance, and other variables . 

Attendance 

Class attendance is essential . Cultivation of desirable habits is just as important 

as the development of skills . Students should be present and on time for 

all classes . Development of this important habit while in college makes it 

considerably easier to satisfy employers, who demand regular and punctual 

attendance . 

Absence from class involves a loss to both the student and to other members of 

the class; the student must rush to make up the coursework, and other students 

have to sit through material being repeated . While circumstances beyond the 

control of the student may make it impossible for him or her to attend a class, 

excessive absenteeism or tardiness will result in administrative action . This 

will result in a later graduation date . Should a student not attend any classes 

during the first week of the module, the college will take administrative action, 

which may include termination from the course or program . If a student does 

not post any attendance for 14 consecutive days, he/she will be dropped from 

school . 

Make-Up Work 

Students who have been absent are expected to make up all missed work prior 

to returning to classes and to proceed with the new course material in the 

original sequence . Courses are normally delivered by the traditional lecture/ 

lab instructor-led method . In special circumstances, these same courses may be 

delivered in an alternative style . The Dean or Campus Director may approve 

a tutorial method of making up a course . The student who is approved for 

this method will be assigned to a faculty member who will work individually 

with the student to cover the exact course material presented in a lecture/lab 

situation . There will be no variance in the content or assignments . 

Dress Code 

Students are required to dress modestly and in appropriate professional dress 

according to each program . Consult orientation materials for specifics on each 

program’s dress code . Failure to comply with the program dress code could 

result in suspension of employment assistance privileges . 

Professionalism Grade 

Students may receive a separate grade for Professionalism for each course . 

This is an optional policy . Check with your campus for details . The College’s 

surveys indicate that employers demand timeliness, excellent attendance, and 

professional dress and attitude . The Registrar averages all Professionalism 

grades at the time a student registers for employment assistance . Students are 

matched to types and number of job openings based upon their professional 

performance and the standards of the company placing the job order . A grade 

of C or lower in Professionalism or student conduct resulting in suspension or 

probation could result in fewer employment leads or suspension of employment 

assistance privileges .

Respiratory Therapy Students: 

All campuses except CCSD: Students are expected to master all courses in 

the curriculum . To assure proficiency in the subject matter, it is imperative 

that each Respiratory Therapy student demonstrate a satisfactory level of 

performance (≥ 74%) or a minimum of a “C” grade as the final course grade, 

excluding general education courses . Any grade less than a “C” (or ≤ 73 .9%) 

is considered failing the course . If a student fails a course, he/she will not be 

allowed to continue on in the program until the class has been successfully 

passed . Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2 .5 in order to sit for the 

exit exam (WRRT SAE) and graduate from the RT program . 

The only exception to this policy is any course that is graded on a pass/fail basis . 

For students attending California College San Diego (CCSD): Students 

are expected to master all courses in the curriculum . To assure proficiency 

in the subject matter, it is imperative that each Respiratory Therapy student 

demonstrate a satisfactory level of performance (≥ 75%) or a minimum of a 

“C” grade on the comprehensive exam at the end of each course . Students must 

also maintain a minimum of a “C” as the overall course grade . Any grade less 

than a C (or ≤ 74 .9%) in the overall course grade or final exam is considered 

failing the course . 

If a student fails a course, he/she will not be allowed into clinical rotations 

until the class has been successfully passed . The student may move forward in 

the RES block but must complete the failed course before Clinical . If a student 

fails a class, he/she is allowed to sit for an alternative of the final exam, with a 

“C” being the highest attainable grade . If a student fails the re-take exam, he/ 

she must then reschedule the class with the program director and retake it . 

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2 .5 in order to sit for the exit 

exam (WRRT SAE) and graduate from the RT program . 

The only exception to this policy is any course that is graded on a pass/fail basis . 

Students will attempt the NBRC secured SAE CRT . Successful completion 

allows the student to sit for the secured NBRC SAE WRRT exit exam . Successful 

completion of this exam allows the student to graduate as long as all graduation 

requirements are met . 

Successful meeting of graduation requirements include the following: 

a . Passing of the SAE CRT with an 86 or greater 

b . Passing of the SAE WRRT with a 55 

c . 800 clinical hours completed 

d . 56 clinical competencies completed 

e . 50 physician interaction points 

f . BLS/ACLS certifications 

g . Successful completion of Case Study 

Grade Reports 

The students can print a report of their grades electronically through the student 

portal . For purposes of academic progress and graduation, the cumulative GPA 

from the student transcript is used . 

Course Withdrawal 

A student who withdraws from a course receives a grade of W . A student may 

officially withdraw by the first Friday at the end of the first week of the module . 

All courses with a final grade of W are considered attempted credits and will 

be charged tuition accordingly . PELL and SEOG can be awarded for courses 

given a grade of W . 

Since a grade of W is counted as credit hours attempted but not completed, it 

will adversely affect a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (See Standards 

of Satisfactory Progress) . A grade of W does not affect the student’s cumulative 

GPA (CGPA) . 

A grade of W may only be issued in the following circumstances: 

• A student has attended at least one day of the class during the first week 

of the module and then formally withdraws with the Registrar before the 

end of the first week of the module . 

79


• A student has attended beyond the first week of the module, is in good 

standing (good attendance and passing grades), and is forced to withdraw 

due to extenuating circumstances which are limited to verified medical 

problems (either with the student or his or her immediate family), 

military obligations, jury duty, or death in the family that causes extended 

hardship . If a student attends beyond the first week of the module and 

then withdraws for reasons other than those listed above, a grade of F 

will be issued . An F grade academically lowers the student’s grade point 

average and adversely affects the student’s academic progress . 

Program Withdrawal 

Students who find it necessary to withdraw from a program should have an 

interview with one of the following: Dean, Dean of Students, Registrar, Dean 

of Continuing Education, or Associate Dean of their program . The student is 

also required to have an exit interview with a representative of the Financial 

Aid Office . If a student provides notice of withdrawal in writing, the date on 

which the notice is mailed with appropriate postage is the date of withdrawal . 

Dismissal from College 

Student termination may result from unsatisfactory academic progress, 

unsatisfactory course completion, failure to achieve the appropriate proficiency 

level within the prescribed timeframe, use of controlled substances on campus, 

conduct detrimental to the College, failure to comply with financial aid 

regulations, or non-observance of other student regulations . A student who is 

dismissed may appeal to the Campus Director of the College, who will make 

the final determination . 

Students may be terminated from the College, without a right to appeal, after 

14 consecutive days of non-attendance . However, the student will be allowed 

to petition for readmission . 

Readmission 

Readmission to the College following dismissal or withdrawal will be at the 

sole discretion of the College . Students whose enrollment has been terminated 

may appeal the termination to the Campus Director or the Dean in writing 

for reinstatement . The written request should contain a summary of why the 

student feels he or she should be readmitted . The Campus Director or Dean 

shall review all requests on a case-by-case basis . Mitigating circumstances will 

be taken into consideration . However, the College reserves the right to refuse 

to readmit any student who does not meet the College’s academic or behavioral 

standards . 

Maximum Time Frame 

Students must complete their program within one and one half times the credit 

hours required to complete the program . Students must complete 67% of 

their credits attempted in each evaluation period in order to meet satisfactory 

academic progress standards . The student must complete the program within 

the maximum time frame in order to graduate . 

For example, if a program requires 90 credit hours to graduate, the student can 

take up to 135 credits in order to complete the program . Taking extra credits 

occurs primarily when a student has to repeat a course . Students who reach 

their maximum time frame and have not graduated must be dismissed from 

the College . 

Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress 

All students, including VA students, must progress satisfactorily toward 

meeting graduation requirements . Academic progress is measured in two ways: 

(a) grade point average, and (b) course completion . The academic progress of 

each student will be reviewed at the end of every term . A student is considered 

to be making academic progress if his or her grade point average is above the 

minimum requirement and the student has successfully completed at least 67% 

of the credits attempted, otherwise known as the completion rate standard . 

The evaluation points, grade point average standard, and the completion rate 

standard are provided in the table listed below .

Associate Degree in Nursing (CollegeAmerica Denver campus only): Nursing 

students must maintain minimal grades of B- in all nursing courses, and 

receive a Pass grade in laboratory, simulation, and clinical experiences . Nursing 

students must satisfactorily perform all nursing skills as measured by skills 

assessment forms, receive favorable evaluations by the faculty, and receive the 

passing score on ATI exams according to individual course requirements . 

To be eligible for graduation and to complete the ADN program, nursing 

students must achieve a proficiency level II on the exit ATI exam . 

Financial Aid Warning 

To ensure a student’s success in a program, the grade point average and 

completion rate are reviewed by the Dean at the end of each evaluation point . 

If a student is in danger of falling below the required standards of academic 

progress, the student is advised . If a student fails to achieve the required 

GPA and/or fails to complete 67% of the credits attempted in an evaluation 

period, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning Status for the 

next evaluation period . A student on Financial Aid Warning Status will have 

until the next evaluation point to meet the minimum standards of academic 

progress . Students on Financial Aid Warning Status remain eligible for financial 

aid funding . 

Dismissal for Unsatisfactory Academic Progress 

If a student on Financial Aid Warning Status fails to achieve the minimum 

standards of academic progress at the end of the next evaluation period, the 

student is dismissed and his or her financial aid is suspended . Upon dismissal, 

the College will provide the student with an Appeals Process Form, and it is up 

to the student to file the appeal and the College Appeals Panel will determine if 

he or she is eligible for reinstatement to the College and for access to financial 

aid funding .

Satisfactory Progress Verification 

When financial aid electronic disbursement rosters are received, the financial 

aid officer at Central Financial Aid (CFA) quickly checks that the student is 

eligible for the disbursement . If the student does not have the required time 

and credits, it is so documented on the student’s academic record . 

The Director of Financial Aid at CFA is fully responsible and accountable for 

verifying and documenting that the student is entitled to the funds by checking 

the required time and credits correlating to satisfactory progress . 

Appeal 

A student dismissed for failing to meet the minimum standards of academic 

progress has the right to appeal the dismissal . The appeal must be done in 

writing and submitted in the form of a letter to the Dean . The letter must 

include the following: 

1 . Explain the reasons why the student was unable to meet the minimum 

standards of academic progress including any mitigating circumstances; 

2 . Provide documentation in support of any mitigating circumstances; 

3 . Describe what has changed that will allow the student to be able to meet 

the minimum standards of academic progress; and 

4 . Detail what the student will do moving forward to ensure that he or she 

will be successful in his or her program of study and will be able to achieve 

the requirements for graduation . 

The appeal will be reviewed by a College Appeals Panel . The student may be 

requested to meet with the Panel to discuss the appeal and provide additional 

information . Once the appeal letter and documentation are reviewed, the 

student will be notified if his or her appeal has been granted or denied . 

If the appeal is granted, the student may be reinstated to his or her program of 

study . The student is placed on academic probation for one evaluation period, 

and during that time, access to financial aid is reestablished . If the appeal is 

denied, the student will not be allowed to reenter College nor will the student 

be allowed to transfer to an affiliated College within the system . 

Financial Aid Probation 

When a student is placed on Financial Aid Probation Status, he or she will be 

required to do the following: 

1 . Agree to a written academic plan that specifies how the student will 

regain satisfactory academic progress . The plan may include but is not 

limited to mandatory tutoring, scheduled advising sessions, extra course 

assignments, repeating a course for which the student received a failing 

grade, repeating a course from which the student withdrew; 

2 . Sign the academic plan (a copy of the plan will be kept in the student’s file); and 

3 . Meet weekly with the Associate Dean to review how well the student is 

advancing on the academic plan, and how well he or she is progressing in 

meeting the minimum standards of academic progress . 

If a student on Financial Aid Probation Status does not achieve the minimum 

standards of academic progress at the end of the evaluation period established 

in the written academic plan, the student is dismissed from the College and 

cannot appeal the dismissal . Access to financial aid is suspended . Additionally, 

if the student at any point in the evaluation period does not perform as required 

based on the academic plan, the student may be dismissed from the College 

sooner than the end of the evaluation period . 

Campuses are required to promptly notify the Veterans Administration when a 

student receiving VA benefits is placed on academic probation . 

Mitigating Circumstances 

Mitigating circumstances are those conditions which the student has little control 

over, and most often have an adverse effect on academic progress . Mitigating 

circumstances must be documented and are limited to the list below: 


1 . Death of an immediate family member; 

2 . Illness of an immediate family member where the student Is the primary 

caretaker or is the primary source of financial support; 

3 . Student illness requiring hospitalization; 

4 . Abusive relationship; 

5 . Prolonged divorce proceeding; 

6 . Previously undocumented disability; 

7 . Work-related transfer during the evaluation period; 

8 . Change in work schedule during the evaluation period; 

9 . Unexpected loss of employment; 

10 . Natural disaster; 

11 . Financial hardship such as foreclosure or eviction; and 

12 . Loss of transportation where there is no alternative transportation . 

Re-establishing Eligibility for Federal Funds 

If a student is allowed to return to the College after being dismissed for 

unsatisfactory progress, he or she may reenter and must meet the above 

requirements before receiving Title IV aid . The student must make financial 

arrangements with the College to pay for courses while reestablishing eligibility 

for federal funds . Once the student has met the requirements listed above, Title 

IV aid will be reinstated . If the student does not meet the satisfactory progress 

requirements during the probationary period of one academic year, he or she 

will be dismissed from the College . The student may appeal the decision for 

dismissal in writing for mitigating circumstances . However, if a student cannot 

finish the program within the maximum time frame of 150%, then he or she 

will not be allowed to reenter . 

Incompletes 

Incomplete grades are counted as credits attempted and affect the maximum 

time frame, but do not affect the grade point average . An incomplete (I) grade 

may be issued to a student who is passing a course but who has not completed 

all required work . The student will be allowed four weeks to complete the 

coursework . When the coursework is completed, a grade will be issued for the 

course . If the work is not completed during the allotted time, the incomplete 

(I) will revert to an “F” . 

When calculating the GPA for purposes of determining satisfactory progress, 

an incomplete (I) is equivalent to an “F” . The student accumulates no quality 

points for the course, but the number of credits assigned to the course is 

included in the total number of credit hours attempted . If the incomplete 

prevents a student from meeting graduation requirements, the student will not 

be eligible for employment assistance services . 

Non-credit Remedial Courses 

Non-credit remedial courses do not affect satisfactory academic progress . The 

student does not earn an academic grade, nor is the non-credit remedial course 

counted toward the maximum time frame . 

Occupational Standards 

The college must terminate any student who is unable to satisfactorily achieve 

the knowledge and skills required by the occupation for which the training is 

intended . 

Prerequisite Courses 

If a student fails a course that is a prerequisite for another course, the student 

must successfully complete the course before continuing in the program . If a 

student fails a course that is not a prerequisite for another course, the student 

may continue in the program and repeat the course at a later date, provided 

that the maximum time frame standards are not exceeded . 

81


Course Repetitions 

Programs are not designed to facilitate course repetitions due to the short, fastpaced, 

and intense nature of the coursework . If a student fails a course or earns 

a grade in a course below a “D-” (B for Nursing courses, C for Respiratory 

Therapy and Master’s courses), that course could be repeated, provided it is 

offered again within the maximum time frame . The Dean or Program Director 

must approve all course repetitions . The College does not replace grades when 

a course is repeated . Each attempt at the course is recorded on the student’s 

transcript and both grades are reflected in the cumulative GPA . Each attempt 

at the course would be counted as a “course attempted” in the calculations for 

successful course completion and maximum time frame . Repeating a course in 

a program will result in the assessment of tuition charges at the current credit 

hour rate . 

Graduation Requirements and Awards 

To be eligible for graduation, students must meet the following requirements: 

1 . Pass with a D- grade or higher all core and non-core courses (except for 

Master’s courses, Nursing courses, and core Respiratory Therapy courses) . 

2 . Attain a 2 .0 cumulative grade point average (3 .0 for Nursing students and 

Master’s students, 2 .5 for Respiratory Therapy students) . 

3 . Pass the number of credit hours required for the program within the 

maximum time frame . 

4 . Satisfy all financial obligations . 

5 . Pass the National Board of Respiratory Care’s Comprehensive/Secure 

Written Registry Self-Assessment Exam (Respiratory Therapy students 

only) . 

6 . Pass the NCLEX-RN examination (Nursing students only) . 

7 . Attempt National Board of Respiratory Care’s Certified Respiratory 

Therapy (CRT) exam (Respiratory Therapy students only) . 

Degrees/Diplomas Granted 

Upon fulfillment of the graduation requirements, the student will be issued 

the appropriate degree, indicating satisfactory completion and passing of all 

program requirements . The Colleges offer programs leading to an Associate 

of Occupational Studies degree, an Associate of Applied Science degree, an 

Associate of Science degree, a Bachelor of Science degree, and a Master’s 

degree . Students should check with the campus of choice to see what degrees 

are available . 

CollegeAmerica Arizona only: Upon fulfillment of the graduation requirements, 

the student will be issued the appropriate degree, indicating satisfactory 

completion and passing of all program requirements . CollegeAmerica offers 

programs leading to an Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Science, 

Associate of Occupational Studies degree, or a Bachelor of Science degree . 

Graduation Honors 

A student may graduate with honors as follows: 

• Summa Cum Laude for graduating with a 3.91 cumulative GPA. 

• Magna Cum Laude for graduating with a cumulative GPA between 3.76 

and 3 .90 

• Cum Laude for graduating with a cumulative GPA between 3.50 

and 3 .75 . 

Scheduling 

Courses are scheduled so that students should be able to complete all program 

requirements on time unless the student fails courses, fails to achieve core 

requirements, or withdraws and re-enters . Students with transfer credits may 

experience disruptions in their schedule . If any of these circumstances occur, 

the College will make every effort to schedule the student with a full schedule 

82 

each module; however, courses will not be scheduled simply to facilitate the 

student who has interrupted his or her schedule . Students are urged to do 

everything possible not to interrupt their schedule . 

Credit Transfer from Another College 

Credits from other institutions which are accredited by an agency recognized 

by the U .S . Department of Education may transfer when the course submitted 

for consideration is of comparable scope and content to the campus’s own 

courses . International credits will be reviewed on an individual basis . Transfer 

of credit is at the judgment and discretion of the Dean and/or the Campus 

Director . The maximum transfer credits allowable from other institutions are: 

To associate’s degree programs: No more than 25% of the credits may be 

transferred . Tuition will be adjusted accordingly . Transferred credits must be 

C- or better except in the Nursing prerequisite courses, which must be B- or 

better . Nursing courses are generally not transferable . A grade of C is required 

for Respiratory Therapy credits . Core technical courses must be earned within 

the past 8 years, and general education courses have no time limit . 

To a bachelor’s degree program (not bachelor’s completion degree 

programs): No more than 50% of the credits may be transferred . Tuition 

will be adjusted accordingly . Transferred credits must be C- or better (B- for 

nursing and C for Respiratory Therapy) . Core courses must be earned within 

the past 8 years, and general education courses have no time limit . 

To master’s degree programs (from other accredited master’s degree 

programs): No more than 25% of the credits may be transferred . Tuition 

will be adjusted accordingly . Transferred credits must be B- or better and will 

be accepted as long as the degree was earned from an accredited institution . 

Applicants enrolling into the master’s degree program must have earned a 

baccalaureate degree in an associated field which will be recognized as long 

as it was earned from an accredited institution whose accrediting agency is 

recognized by the U .S . Department of Education . Bachelor’s degrees received 

from other countries must be submitted with a translation attesting that they 

are equivalent to bachelor’s degrees received in the U .S . There is no time limit 

for bachelor’s degrees which are applied to the master’s program . All transferred 

core courses must be earned within the past 8 years . 

Transfer Credit Process 

The applicant must supply a college syllabus, catalog, or course description and 

an official transcript(s) for transfer of credit to occur . 

Transfer credits approved by the registrar that are evidenced by an official 

transcript will be given a value of the number of credits multiplied by the 

charge per credit upon entry for the program the student it enrolled . The value 

of the transfer credits will be shown on the Student Account Card as a Negative 

Charge that is applied against tuition in the last period of enrollment 

For example: 

48 credits x $400 credit per charge = $19,200 (for a 101 credit program that 

costs $40,385) 

TUITION TRANSFER TOTAL EST . CREDITS

1st term charge = $8,077 $8,077 18 

2nd term charge = $8,077 $8,077 18 

*3rd term charge = $8,077 ($3,046) $5,031 17 

*4th term charge = $8,077 ($8,077) 0 0 

*5th term charge = $8,077 ($8,077) 0 0 

*All charges and transfer credits will be posted in the beginning of the last 

period of enrollment, which in the above example is the 3rd term . Transfer 

credits are applied to tuition only and do no result in cash payments . 

Course Numbering 

Generally, 100- and 200-level courses are for associate’s-level work, 300- and 

400-level courses are for bachelor’s-level work, and 500- and 600-level courses 

are for master’s-level work . In transferring in credits, no 100- and 200-level 

courses may be used to satisfy our 300- and 400- or 500- and 600-level courses . 

However, 300- and 400- or 500- and 600-level courses for another accredited 

institution may be used to satisfy 100- and 200-level courses at our institution

if the course descriptions are similar . 

Course Credits 

A sufficient number of credits earned from the transferring institution must 

equal the credits we grant for a course . Example: a sociology course transferred 

to us must be 4 quarter credits or 3 semester credits to satisfy our sociology 

course requirements . (Semester credits x 1 .5 = quarter credits) . 

Transcript 

Grades of transferred courses from other institutions (must be C- and higher) 

are recorded as a “T” grade and do not contribute to quality points in 

calculating the student’s cumulative GPA at our colleges . 

Continuing Education Units/Seminars 

Credits for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or seminars may not be 

transferred to satisfy courses at our colleges . A student who has continuing 

education units and/or seminars in courses scheduled in the student’s program, 

may challenge the course by passing the examination with a score of 90% or 

greater . If the student passes the examination, the student will receive a grade 

of PE on his or her transcript . 

CLEP, DANTES, AP, and Certification Credit 

The college may award credit to students who score at or above established levels 

on College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), Defense Activities for Nontraditional 

Education Support (DANTES) examinations, Advanced Placement 

(AP), and college recognized certifications (i .e ., Cisco, Microsoft, A+, etc .) . 

Some core courses may not be transferable (i .e ., medical clinical core courses) . 

Information regarding specific CLEP, DANTES, and AP equivalents/scores may 

be obtained from the Dean or Campus Director . Tuition is adjusted accordingly . 

Credit Transfer to Other Colleges 

Graduates or students who are considering transferring from the college to 

other institutions should recognize that programs at the college are specifically 

tailored to career preparation . Courses that make up such programs are 

not generally transferable to other colleges, particularly in programs that 

emphasize general or liberal education . It should also be noted that in any 

transfer situation, regardless of the colleges involved, the acceptance of credits 

is at the sole discretion of the accepting college and this college makes no 

representations whatsoever concerning the transferability of any college 

credits to any other institution. The college credits generally are not 

transferable to other colleges unless a written articulation agreement between 

the college and another institution has been negotiated . See the director of 

admissions or the Campus Director for details of any articulation agreements . 

California College San Diego only: NOTICE CONCERNING 

TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED AT 

OUR INSTITUTION 

The transferability of credits you earn at CCSD is at the complete discretion 

of an institution to which you may seek to transfer . Acceptance of the degree, 

diploma, or certificate you earn in any of our programs is also at the complete 

discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer . If the credits or 

degree, diploma, or certificate that you earn at this institution are not accepted 

at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat 

some or all of your coursework at that institution . For this reason you should 

make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational 

goals . This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to 

transfer after attending CCSD to determine if your credits or degree, diploma 

or certificate will transfer . 

Credit Transfer from Affiliated Colleges 

Graduates or students who are transferring within the affiliated college 

system will have their credits automatically accepted . Graduates of associate’s 

degree programs within the affiliated college system may transfer credits to 

an applicable full bachelor’s degree, not a bachelor’s completion degree . The 

same grade requirements as for students transferring credits from outside the 

system apply . 


When a student transfers from one affiliated campus to another, grades, grade point 

averages (GPA), and satisfactory academic progress (SAP) status transfer with the 

student . In other words, if a student is on academic probation and transfers from 

one campus to another, the student will remain on academic probation . Likewise, a 

student who transfers from one campus to another with a GPA that warrants honor 

status will retain that status at his or her new campus . 

Credit Transfer for Veterans, Active-Duty, Reserve/Guard, and 

Dependents 

The College maintains a written record of the previous education and training 

of veterans or eligible persons . No more than 25% of a transfer student’s prior 

academic work will be accepted towards a degree, with the training period 

shortened proportionately . The veteran or eligible person will be notified of 

prior credit granted . 

Special Conditions for Students Eligible for Military Benefits 

The Colleges require, for academic residency, a minimum of 25 percent of the 

degree requirements for all degrees to be completed in residency at any time 

for active-duty servicemembers, reservists, and National Guardsmen, and their 

dependents . 

With respect to transfer of credit, the Colleges recognize and use the ACE 

Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services in 

determining the value of learning acquired in military service, and awards credit 

for appropriate learning acquired in military service at levels consistent with 

ACE Guide recommendations and/or those transcripted by the community 

college of the Air Force, when applicable to a servicemember’s program . 

Program Transfers 

Efforts are made to direct students to the program of study best suited to 

achieving skills and competency; however, at times a student may request 

a program transfer . A student may transfer programs one time while in 

attendance at Stevens-Henager Colleges, CollegeAmerica or California College 

San Diego . 

All credits earned in the original program that apply to the new program will 

be automatically accepted . All grades associated with credits earned in the 

original program will be calculated towards satisfactory academic progress in 

the new program (note: failing grades received in the original program will be 

applied and may adversely affect academic progress) . 

Students are required to apply in writing to the Dean of Education for a program 

transfer, and must be approved by a Financial Planning Officer and the Dean of 

Education . Any exception to this policy is at the discretion of the Dean . 

Credit by Examination 

Students may wish to challenge a course by taking a competency examination . 

To successfully pass a challenge exam the student must score 90% or better on 

the final test . The college may award credit to students who pass the college 

challenge exam in a specific course . The student must challenge the course 

and the test must be completed and scored before or during the first day of 

the module . Credit received will be treated similar to transfer credit (with a 

grade of PE being assigned to the course) . Tuition adjustment will not be made 

for Pass by Examination . Federal Aid will not be issued for courses Passed by 

Examination . 

California College San Diego only: A grade may be earned as a result of 

taking a challenge examination (PE grade) and passing with 90% or better . 

GPA is not affected by PE grades . Financial aid cannot be issued for a grade 

of PE . 

The notation of IP (In Progress, Passing) will be posted for students who have 

obtained passing grades at the end of the first month of an extended course . 

An IP grade is a placeholder for partial courses and is not part of the GPA 

calculation since a grade is not earned until the end of the course .

grade or the IP grade . 

Due to licensure requirements for the respiratory therapy profession, respiratory 

therapy students must achieve 75% or better in their core RES courses, and a 

cumulative score of 75% or better for the entirety of the program .

arrangements for an unpaid balance must be made with the Financial Aid 

Office at the end of the student’s program . The student must be credit-worthy 

to qualify for electronic withdrawal plans or for private-market loans . For 

those students who qualify for federal financial aid, electronic payments are 

ordered by Central Financial Aid on the dates students qualify for their funds .

Refund Policy - Colleges Located in California Only 

All refunds will be processed within 45 days of the Date of Determination of 

withdrawal . The Date of Determination is the earlier of: 

a . The date the institution receives notice from the student that he/she is 

withdrawing; 

b . The date the student’s enrollment is terminated by the institution; 

c . For a student who withdraws without notifying the institution, 14 

calendar days following the student’s last documented date of attendance/ 

participation . 

Refunds will be based on the Institution’s Refund Policy . California College 

San Diego complies with state and federal refund policies . 

Students have the right to withdraw at any time, by notifying the College, in 

writing, at the address on the enrollment agreement . If a student withdraws 

after midnight of the first day of classes in the first academic year, or seven 

days after enrollment, whichever is the longer, the college will refund any 

monies paid minus an administrative fee of $150 and any charges for books 

and uniforms issued . Thereafter, a student may terminate his/her enrollment 

by giving written notice to the College . Such notice is effective when the 

College receives the notice . The written notice of cancellation need not take 

any particular form, and however expressed, is effective if it shows that the 

student no longer wishes to be bound by the enrollment agreement . 

Refunds shall be determined by pro-rating the amount paid for instruction . If 

the withdrawal date is after the completion of more than 60% of the period of 

enrollment, no refund is due . This initial amount, plus any equipment charges 

paid by the student, will be reduced by the cost of any equipment that is not 

returned in usable condition within thirty (30) days . 

Refunds are calculated using two methods: the state refund policy and the 

Return of Title IV policy (see below) . When the withdrawal record involves 

federal financial aid funds, the Return of Title IV takes priority and must 

be observed before any other refund calculation . Refund calculations are 

complex . For further information and examples, read the catalog and visit the 

College’s Financial Aid Office . 

Return of Title IV Funds 

If a student receives Title IV student financial assistance (Federal Pell Grants, 

Federal Supplemental Grants, Federal Family Education Loans, ACG or 

SMART grants), special rules apply when a student withdraws or is terminated . 

These rules are independent of the institution’s refund policy . Thus, there may 

be cases where the institution is required by the government to return Title 

IV funds even though such funds are needed to pay the student’s institutional 

charges . In all cases, the student remains responsible for paying institutional 

charges as determined by the refund policy . 

Earning and Returning Title IV Funds 

Special rules apply for withdrawals and terminations when the student is 

a recipient of certain Title IV Federal Student Aid recipients . (Title IV aid 

includes Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grants, 

Federal Stafford Loans, and Federal PLUS Loans .) 

Undergraduate programs use a modules-within-terms for Financial Aid . Each 

term consists of four modules that are each 4 weeks in length . The academic 

year is considered to be two terms that are each 16 weeks in length . Each term 

is considered the payment period for Title IV funding . 

For any student who withdraws during a payment period that begins after

June 30, 2011 without completing all the days in the payment period, a 

Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation must be performed according to Title 

IV regulations . If the student then re-enters prior to the end of that same 

payment period, the student is eligible to receive any funds for which the 

student was eligible prior to the withdrawal if the enrollment status supports 

those amounts, including any returned funds . 

If a student officially withdraws or is terminated by the institution, the last 

date of attendance will be used to calculate both refunds and the return of Title 

IV Funds (if the latter is necessary) . If a student stops attending and makes no 

formal withdrawal request the student will be withdrawn after 14 days of nonattendance/non-participation, 

and the last date of attendance will be used in all 

withdrawal calculations as the last date of the student’s obligation . 

The Return of Title IV, as defined by the 1998 Amendments to the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, applies to any student receiving federal financial aid and 

who withdraws on or before 60% of the calendar days to the end of the period 

of enrollment or payment period . The percentage of Title IV that has been 

earned is equal to the percentage of payment period or period of enrollment 

that the student completed by the withdrawal date (documented last day of 

attendance/participation) . If the withdrawal date is after the completion of 

more than 60% of the period of enrollment, the student has earned 100% 

of the Title IV funds . If the amount of Title IV that the student has earned 

(as calculated) is less than the amount of Title IV that was disbursed, the 

difference must be returned within 45 days of the Date of Determination to 

the appropriate program . No additional disbursements will follow .

Example: Assume that a first time enrollment student enrolled in a program 

and was charged $150 in fees . The student’s start date for the payment period 

was 1/13/09 with an end date of 5/2/09 . The college determined that the student 

did not have grades beyond module 1, 2/7/09 . The student’s loans and grants were 

fully disbursed for the payment period . The College terminated the student after 14 

days of non-attendance, PELL was recalculated and unearned funds were returned . 

Refund Calculation Example - Colleges Located in Arizona,

= $1,000 .00 

(8 credits attempted: ¼ time) = $250 .00 

v . Total Unearned (returned) = $750 .00 

vi . Student Tuition charged = $8,500 .00

Sample Refund Policy - Colleges Located in California Only 

Example of the California Pro Rata Refund Policy 

Formula: Divide the total tuition charge, exclusive of the registration fee, by 

the number of hours in the program . The quotient is the hourly charge for 


the program . The amount owed by the student for the purposes of calculating 

a refund is derived by multiplying the total hours scheduled to be attended 

through the last day of attendance by the hourly charge for instruction, plus 

the amount of the registration fee and books and equipment provided to the 

student and not returned . This is the Initial Refund . 

Refund Calculation Example – Colleges Located in California Only: 

Example [Tuition only, no adjustments for registration fee or computers or 

books not returned]: 

Assume that you are enrolled in a semester with 600 hours of instruction and 

you paid $14,325 in tuition . If you withdraw after completing only 200 hours 

and return the equipment and books, the calculation would be: $14,325 x 

(400/600) = $9,550 (Refund) .

against company policy or as a result of a felony investigation or conviction . If 

a student has a felony conviction, it may be more difficult to assist the student 

in securing satisfactory employment . Candidates for career services must be 

proficient in the skills associated with their career . The candidate must also 

present a professional image and employment records with no discharges for 

causes noted above . Graduates who want to update their skills in order to use

Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure 

Alternative Dispute Resolution: While no one expects disputes and conflicts, 

sometimes they do occur, and it is in the best interests of the parties to resolve 

the dispute in the simplest, fastest, and least expensive manner . The student

History – CollegeAmerica CO/WY 

In the mid-1960’s, Control Data Corporation began a school to train 

its employees for the then infant computer field . The school was named 

Control Data Institute . Courses in computer maintenance and repair and in 

computer programming were offered . As the computer industry grew, courses 

in computer applications were added . Before long, the school began offering 

its services to the community by opening its doors to non-employees seeking 

computer training . Soon after, new schools were opened across the United 

States and Canada . 

In 1989, Control Data Institute was sold to Human Capital Corporation and 

was renamed Career Development Institute (CDI) . The new owners, former 

employees of Control Data, worked to upgrade and modernize the curriculum 

of the schools . In early 1993, CollegeAmerica purchased the Denver school 

and made a commitment to continue to offer the superior computer training 

developed over the years . In addition, courses in Computerized Accounting, 

Business Management, and Computer Technology were added to the 

curriculum, providing even greater career opportunities for our students . The 

school was renamed CollegeAmerica Denver . 

In 1994, CollegeAmerica relocated to a new facility at 1385 South Colorado 

Boulevard to provide for growth and expansion . In 1995, CollegeAmerica 

continued its expansion plans to meet the growing enrollment . In 1997, 

the school acquired the entire 5th floor of our 7-story high-rise, more than 

doubling the original space . 

In 1998, CollegeAmerica became a degree-granting school, offering Associate of 

Occupational Studies degrees in Computer Technology, Computer Programming 

and Operations, Computer Programming and Network Administration, 

Accounting and Management, Business Management and in 2002 added the 

Medical Specialties program . These Associate of Occupational Studies degrees 

allow students to gain a more in-depth mastery of skills in their fields . In 2002, 

CollegeAmerica became a Bachelor Degree granting school, offering the Bachelor 

of Science in Computer Science, Business, and Accounting . 

In June of 2001, a Branch campus was opened in Fort Collins, Colorado . The 

programs offered are identical to the programs at the main campus . In October 

of 2002, a Branch campus was opened and accredited in Colorado Springs, 

Colorado . A Branch campus in Cheyenne, Wyoming opened in February 2005 . 

A Satellite campus opened in south Colorado Springs in August 2011 . 

Today, CollegeAmerica is known for its high educational standards . Academic 

majors are designed specifically to meet the changing trends and requirements 

of the business and medical employment markets . Business, technical, and 

medical leaders have come to recognize CollegeAmerica graduates for their 

superior training and their outstanding professionalism . 

History - California College San Diego 

California College San Diego was formerly known as California College 

for Health Sciences (CCHS) and before that as the California College for 

Respiratory Therapy (CCRT) . 

Prior to moving to California in April 1976, CCRT was located in Phoenix, 

Arizona, and was known as the Scottsdale Education Center, which originated 

in December 1971 . As a vocational-technical school, it offered a variety of 

allied health and technical programs . In January 1974, a Respiratory Therapy 

Technician Program was started and continued in Phoenix until 1976 . 

Upon moving to California, Scottsdale Education Center became California 

College for Respiratory Therapy and operated in San Diego from 1977 to 

1980, offering only a Respiratory Therapy Technician program . In 1978 

CCRT launched a distance education model of its Respiratory Therapy 

program . CCRT changed its name in 1983 to California College for Health 

Sciences (CCHS) .

National Education Company (NEC)/International Correspondence Schools 

(ICS) acquired the College in June 1996 . In June 1997, Harcourt General 

acquired NEC, ICS’s parent corporation, and CCHS . In 2001, the Thomson 

Corporation acquired ICS (now Education Direct) and CCHS . 

In May 2003, the College was purchased by California College, Inc . and 

became the newest member of a family of schools that includes the Stevens- 

Henager Colleges in Utah and Idaho and the CollegeAmerica schools in 

Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona . At that time, the name of the institution was 

changed to California College San Diego (California College San Diego), and 

the academic offerings were expanded to include degree programs in business, 

technology, and medical specialties . A Satellite campus opened in National 

City in June 2011 . A Branch campus opened in San Marcos in October 2011 .

Disability Services 

Administration/Faculty/Staff 

Philosophy 

Students with disabilities have a right to reasonable accommodations . 

What Is a Disability? 

The College uses the definition of disability set forth in Section 504 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which states that a disabled person is anyone who: 

£ has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more 

major life activities; 

£ has a record of such an impairment; 

£ is regarded as having such an impairment . 

Exceptions 

Students with diagnosed alcohol or drug abuse qualify for services only when 

not actively engaged in the use of those substances . Individuals with temporary 

disabilities (e .g ., having a broken arm, recovering from surgery) do not qualify 

under the law as someone with a disability, and as such, are not entitled to 

reasonable accommodations . 

Eligibility for Services 

In order to receive accommodations, students must meet the following criteria: 

1 . Have a documented disability (documentation must be supplied) that 

presents a significant barrier to the educational process, and 

2 . The student must request services from Disability Services through the 

Dean or Director of Student Services . 

Provisional eligibility, which allows students to receive limited services and 

accommodations, may be granted in the following situations: 

3 . The student provides documentation that is outdated or incomplete and 

is in the process of obtaining updated documentation, or 

4 . The student does not have ready access to required documentation, but 

provides some other form of legitimate evidence of disability and the 

subsequent limitations and agrees to provide the required documentation 

in a timely fashion . 

95


Documentation Requirements 

Students are required to provide the Disability Services Office with medical 

or psychological documentation in order to receive accommodations . All 

medical information received by Disability Services remains confidential 

and is only released to other College personnel with the student’s written 

permission . Specific documentation requirements may vary slightly depending 

on the disability . Generally, students should use the following guidelines in 

determining what constitutes adequate documentation: 

£ Statement of disability, including diagnosis, instruments/tests used 

to reach that diagnosis, current medications (if any) used to treat the 

condition and their potential side effects, signed by a qualified medical/ 

psychological professional; 

£ Statement of the current impact of the disability on academic performance; 

£ Recommendations for appropriate academic accommodations . 

If the student’s documentation is not current (within the last three to five 

years), or if the student has a learning disability and the most recent testing 

was prior to age 16, the student will be asked to seek more current testing and/ 

or diagnostic information . This is to ensure that any accommodations made 

by the College are best suited to the student’s current needs and/or level of 

functioning . 

Accommodations 

Students with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations at the 

College . Each student who chooses to seek accommodations will meet with 

the Campus President/Director, and together they will determine what 

accommodations to request based on the needs of the student and the demands 

of the course . 

Title IX and VI of the Civil 

Rights Act 

All educational institutions receiving federal financial assistance are required to 

comply with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Title VI 

of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, whereby institutions do not discriminate on 

the basis of sex, race, color, or national origin in the educational programs or 

activities that they operate . The College is subject to these requirements and 

complies fully . The Campus Director is the coordinator at the College . All 

students, faculty, and administrative employees should refer any complaints of 

discrimination in writing to the coordinator’s attention . 

Vocational Rehabilitation Act 

The College is an equal opportunity employer covered by Section 504 of the 

Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 concerning non-discrimination under 

federal grants: 

Section 504 . No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United 

States, as defined in Section 7(6) shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be 

excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected 

to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial 

assistance . 

The Campus Director is the College Equal Employment Opportunity 

Administrator . The Equal Employment Opportunity Administrator is 

responsible for ensuring that all applicants for admission are afforded equal 

opportunity in accordance with our EEO policy as well as supervising periodic 

reviews of our physical facilities and current policies, practices, and educational 

programs . In addition, the Administrator is responsible for reviewing all 

complaints that allege discrimination of any sort .
