Because of this approach, Park Distance Learning has set a standard in serving studentsseeking personal development or new pathways to degree completion through innovative processes.Park University began meeting the educational needs of service members in 1889, and ourcommitment continued through the establishment in 1972 of the Military Resident Center System(MRCS). In 1989, the name was changed to Park Extended Learning, and in 2003, because of theadvent of Internet courses, became the Park Distance Learning with two schools: Park ExtendedLearning and Park Online. In 2010 it took on the name of Park Distance Learning.Park Distance Learning programs are now located on military installations, communitycolleges, commercial facilities convenient to students, and on the Internet. Park Distance Learning isone of the nation’s largest programs serving over 22,000 students per year.Because the program at each location is tailored to the needs of the local student population,only selected degrees and certain majors are offered at each extended campus center.

The University has deemed thisto be unacceptable behavior which will not betolerated. A person who believes that he or shehas been subjected to harassment, or any personwho has knowledge of harassment of a personassociated with Park University, is encouragedto confer promptly with the Dean of StudentLife. Please call Student Life at (816) 584-6377,or during non-business hours - call CampusSafety at (816) 584-6444, who will contact theDean of Student Life.

This policy is designed to ensure that noStudent is subjected to behavior prohibited byTitle IX.The Harassment Policy defines Harassment,prohibits certain conduct and establishesprocedures for addressing and resolvingHarassment Complaints. The University willprovide education about Harassment through54

orientation training and followup programs forStudents, Staff, Faculty, and Administrators. AllEmployees in a supervisory capacity will be trainedto implement the Harassment Policy by informingEmployees, Students and other people under theirdirection of this Harassment Policy and will assumeleadership in implementing the procedures.“Harassment” means unwelcome,unsolicited, uninvited, offensive or undesirableconduct directed at or affecting another person,based on race, color, religion, national origin,age, disability, gender/sex, sexual orientationor preference, or veteran’s status. “SexualHarassment” means unwelcome, unsolicited,uninvited, offensive, or undesirable conduct ofa sexual nature directed at or affecting a personof the same sex or opposite sex. Harassmentencompasses a wide range of physical, verbal(oral and written) and visual/nonverbalbehaviors and includes, without limitation,conduct which is offensive or shows signs ofhostility toward another person because of his/her race, color, religion, national origin, age,disability, gender, sex, sexual orientation, sexualpreference or veteran’s status or those of theperson’s relatives, friends or associates.Harassment Policy: Two Forms of Harassment1. A hostile work, learning, cocurricular,social, or living environment based upon aperson’s race, color, religion, national origin,age, disability, gender/sex, sexual orientation orpreference or veteran’s status2. Quid pro quo sexual harassment.Hostile EnvironmentHostile Work, Learning, Cocurricular, Social orLiving Environment exists when an Employee,Student or other member of the Park Universitycommunity or a guest is subjected to unwelcomestatements, jokes, gestures, pictures, touching,or other conduct that offend, demean, harass, orintimidate based upon the person’s race, color,religion, national origin, age, disability, gender/sex, sexual orientation or preference or veteran’sstatus. Harassment includes, but is not limited to,offensive verbal or physical conduct that has thepurpose or effect of interfering with an Employee’swork performance, or has the purpose or effectof creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensiveenvironment. The Harassment may involve a veryserious and offensive act (“Serious Act”), or mayinvolve persistent harassing behavior (“PersistentHarassing Behavior”). A Hostile Environmentcan be created by supervisors, coworkers, otherEmployees, Faculty, coaches, Students, alumni, orvisitors to the University campus centers such asvendors and contractors.Examples of a Serious Act: As a general rule,55an isolated comment or incident usually willnot constitute a Hostile Environment or ahostile educational environment. If, however,the behavior is a Serious Act, such as 1) anintentional, nonconsensual touching of anintimate body area of another person 2) aninstructor humiliating a Student in class bymaking a joke about the Student’s disability orinquiring about the Student’s sexual activities or3) a Student marking Nazi swastikas on a fellowStudent’s car.Examples of Persistent Hostile Behavior:Persistent Hostile Behavior is a behavior that areasonable person would find hostile or abusive.Examples: 1) Students ask a Faculty Memberto quit telling offensive jokes, but the FacultyMember continues to do so 2) a Student asks aResident Advisor not to touch him or her, butthe Resident Advisor continues to do so 3) aStudent asks a fellow Student to refrain fromforwarding explicit emails, but the Studentcontinues to send them.Examples of Stereotyping: Statements thatdemean a person on the basis of that person’s age,color, disability, gender, gender identity, nationalor ethnic origin, race, religion, sexual orientation,or veteran status, sometimes referred to as“Stereotyping” can also contribute to a HostileWork Environment. For example, it would begender Stereotyping to ask a fellow Student whyhe or she majored in a discipline such as English,Engineering, or Finance because people of theStudent’s gender cannot succeed in the area.Other examples of Stereotyping would be to askan older Student why she or he is taking classesor to ask a pregnant Student whether she willcontinue to go to school after she has her baby.While each of these isolated questions may notconstitute Harassment by itself, in a universitysetting such questions collectively couldconstitute a Hostile Environment.Quid Pro Quo Sexual HarassmentThis occurs when an Employee or a fellowStudent explicitly, or implicitly, promises orwithholds educational benefits based upon aStudent’s acquiescence to sexual advancesor behavior. “Quid Pro Quo SexualHarassment” includes unwelcome sexualadvances and/or requests for sexual favors from,an Employee, Student or other person, wheresubmission to the conduct is made a termor condition of educational opportunity orsubmission to or rejection of such conductis used as a basis for decisions related toeducation. Such Harassment may involve

ehavior by a person of either sex against aperson of the same or opposite sex.Examples of Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassmentmay include but are not limited to:1. Seeking sexual favors or relationships inreturn for the promise of favorable educationalopportunities or2. Basing an educational related action (e.g.,assigning grades, admission to a major degreeof study, assignment to a particular residencehall, admission on an athletic team) on a sexualfavor or relationship.Student Employee RelationshipsStudents are prohibited from developinga romantic or sexual relationship with anemployee. Employees are deemed to beprimarily responsible for adherence to thispolicy, although both employee and studentwill be held accountable.Procedures Regarding HarassmentComplaintsProcedures Regarding HarassmentComplaints are available on the Parkwebsite at: www.Park.edu/StudentPolicies.Student ConductAs a student at Park University, you shouldbe aware of the rights you have as a studentand of the responsibilities associated with beinga Park student.

A complaint ofsexual harassment or sexual violence maybe received by other Park Universitystaff; however, he or she will forward itimmediately to the Dean. In the caseof sexual violence, the Dean will seekthe assistance of Campus Safety staff ifimmediate medical or safety needs exist.B. Once the Dean has been notified of anallegation of sexual harassment and/orsexual violence, the Dean will schedule ameeting, typically within one business day,with the complainant in order to advisethe complainant of Park University’s sexualharassment policy and to identify formsof support or immediate interventionsavailable to the complainant, includingreferral to appropriate law enforcementagencies, medical providers, and/orcounseling and psychological services. Ifthe conduct is criminal in nature, as, forexample, assault, rape, or attempted rape,Park University strongly recommendsthat the complainant report the incidentto law enforcement officials. CampusSafety and Student Life staff will assist thestudent with reporting the incident to lawenforcement officials. The complainant shallbe advised of accommodations that may beappropriate, such as a change in academic,housing, or employment arrangements.C. At this meeting, the Dean will ascertain fromthe complainant how he or she wishes toproceed, whether by formal or informalresolution (discussed in detail in the Policy),

or whether the complainant does not wishto pursue resolution of any kind.

UnderTitle IX, when taking steps to separatethe complainant and the accused, ParkUniversity shall minimize the burden onthe complainant and will not, as a matterof course, remove the complainant from hisor her classes or housing while allowing theaccused to remain. Violations of the Dean’sdirective and/or protective actions willconstitute related offenses that may lead toadditional disciplinary action.G. While Park University shall endeavor toprotect the privacy of the complainant,particularly if the complainant hasrequested confidentiality, Park willnevertheless determine, consistent withState and local law, whether appropriate lawenforcement should be notified.This policy applies to any allegation of sexualharassment or sexual violence against a ParkUniversity student regardless of where thealleged incident occurred, so long as thecomplainant is a Park University student at thetime of the alleged incident and the accusedis a Park University student, employee, orcontractor.Retaliation is strictly prohibited.

Park UniversitySpecial Academic Programs113

SPECIAL ACADEMIC PROGRAMSUndergraduate Certificate ProgramsAn undergraduate certificate program consistsof a logically sequenced and academicallycoherent subset of courses, derived from,and approved by, a given discipline or relateddisciplines, which is intended to preparestudents for professional practice in certainapplied fields. Because of the program’s emphasison application, the choice of courses oftenrepresents more practice-oriented didacticcontents. An undergraduate certificate comprisesfewer credits than an associate’s or bachelor’sdegree. Courses taken toward a certificateprogram may eventually or simultaneouslytransfer to an undergraduate degree dependingupon the requirements of the particular degreeto which a student wishes to apply the credits.Courses selected for an undergraduatecertificate program are courses approved oroffered for credit at the undergraduate levelat Park University, and, when completed,they represent a structured, coherent body ofknowledge. Undergraduate credit hours earnedthrough these courses may not be less than 12hours nor more than 18 hours.4. Certificate students are not automaticallyeligible for admission to the relatedundergraduate program. If they wish topursue an undergraduate degree, they mustsubmit an application, meeting all theentrance requirements for that program.A student graduates from a certificate programwhen all program requirements are completedand the student has maintained a 2.00 gradepoint average (GPA). Individual departmentsmay establish a higher GPA in creating theircertificate programs. A document suitable forframing may be issued by the Department(s) orSchool that offers the certificate program. Coursesand certificates completed will be transcribed bythe Registrar, and they will become a part of thestudent’s permanent academic record.GLOBAL PROFICIENCY PROGRAMWhat is Global Proficiency?Global proficiency is defined at ParkUniversity as demonstrating the knowledge,intercultural engagement skills, cross-culturalcommunication competency and attitudesnecessary to participate effectively andresponsibly in the global environment.General criteria for admission to anyundergraduate certificate program include:1. An earned associate or baccalaureatedegree from a regionally accredited collegeor university, or its foreign equivalent, orcurrent enrollment in a baccalaureatedegree program from a regionallyaccredited college or university, or itsforeign equivalent.2. Each program may establish the minimumgrade point average, English languageexamination score, standardized test scores,and other entry criteria. Such flexibilityis permitted to meet the needs of the targetstudent population.3. Undergraduate students who are currentlyenrolled in an undergraduate programmay simultaneously pursue anundergraduate certificate program, with thepermission of the program or departmentchair offering the certificate program.Certificate-seeking students who are notdegree-seeking students will be classified ascertificate students for the purposeof keeping University-wide enrollmentdata. Certificate students will have accessto the Library and University-wide facilities,subject to the rules governing thosefacilities.114Why is global proficiency important?1.

Not the least of these is to participatein the formal learning situations provided by acollege curriculum. Unfortunately, the intensivelearning opportunities afforded by the standardcollege curriculum do not always correspondto a particular student’s reasons for going tocollege. These intensive learning opportunitiesare usually cataloged as departmental majorprograms and impose a relatively limitednumber of alternatives. It would seemdesirable to increase the number of optionsthat are available to students matriculating ata college. Therefore, Park University designedthe Personal Major, in which a student, withappropriate institutional guidance, is allowedto construct an intensive learning experiencewhich corresponds to his/her own needs wherethese fall outside the traditional major fields.The Personal Major Program at ParkUniversity is an individualized curriculum inwhich objectives and content have been chosenby the student in consultation with his/heradvisor(s). The program is approved by theAssociate Vice President of Academic Affairs.As with other major programs, the student issubject to all general degree requirements atPark University. A 2.0 GPA is required in themajor core of the designed program.Minor ProgramsMinors are required for students seekingthe Bachelor of Arts degree. Students pursuingother bachelor degrees (BSW, BS, BPA, BMor BSE) may select a minor if such minor isapproved and readily available at the student’scampus center. For a list of available minors,consult with the appropriate academicdepartment, advisor, or campus center director.Internships and Cooperative EducationA number of majors and departmentsprovide students with opportunities for handsonexperience related to classroom learning.Generally, work experience which is not paidbut which carries significant academic credit isconsidered an internship.Cooperative education is defined as an onthe-joblearning experience, jointly supervisedby a faculty member and a representative of theemployer, for which the student is paid.Under a cooperative educationarrangement, a student typically, but notnecessarily, alternates semesters of full-timestudy at Park University with semesters offull-time employment in an organization,which will enhance the student’s training,development and career goals. The employmentperiods are a regular, continuing and essential

element in the student’s educational process.Kansas City AreaStudent Exchange (KCASE)(Parkville Daytime Campus Center Only)As a member of the Kansas City AreaStudent Exchange (KCASE), Park Universityoffers full-time undergraduates an opportunity toregister for one course a semester at other memberinstitutions. KCASE students pay regular tuitionand fees at the home institution and laboratory/special course fees at the host institution.Other participating institutions includeAvila University, Baker University, BlueRiver Community College, Central MissouriState University, Kansas City Art Institute,Longview Community College, Maple WoodsCommunity College, Penn Valley CommunityCollege, Rockhurst University and Universityof Missouri-Kansas City.

Park UniversityAppendixState Specific Refund and Tuition Recovery PoliciesCaliforniaStudent Tuition Recovery FundThe Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the legislature to protectany California resident who attends a private postsecondary institution from losing money if youprepaid tuition and suffered a financial loss as a result of the school closing; failing to live up to itsenrollment agreement; or refusing to pay a court judgment.To be eligible, you must be a “California resident” and reside in California at the time of theenrollment is signed or when you received lessons at a California mailing address from an approvedinstitution offering correspondence instruction. Students who are temporarily residing in Californiafor the sole purpose of pursuing an education, specifically those who hold student visas, are notconsidered a “California resident.”To qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application within one year ofreceiving notice from the council that the school is closed. If you do not receive notice from thecouncil, you have four years from the date of closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment isobtained, you must file a STRF application within two years of the final judgment.It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment agreement, financial aid papers, receiptsor any other information that documents the monies paid to the school. Questions regarding theSTRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, 1625 10thStreet, Fourth Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814, (916) 445-3427.GeorgiaGeorgia requires that the amount of monies kept by the University be itemized and that notover $100.00 be retained for non-refundable application fee.
