Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from aninstitution whose accreditation is recognized by the Council forhigher education Accreditation (CheA), except for applicants tothe Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) programs, which require abachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution.Graduate Transfer Credittransfer credit may be awarded for applicable graduate coursescompleted at other institutions whose accreditation is recognizedby the Council for higher education Accreditation (CheA) withverification of transferability by the registrar’s office and approvalby the program chair. e PsyD and the MA Counseling Psychologyprogram in the College of Graduate and Professional Studies requiregraduate transfer work to have been completed at a regionallyaccredited institution. At least 70 percent of the work required fora graduate degree must be completed in residence at the University;some programs may require a residency greater than 70 percent.Graduate-level courses will be considered for transfer credit ifrelevant to the degree program and completed with a grade of B (orequivalent) or higher. Graduate transfer credit and prerequisitecredit may be denied if the course was taken as pass/fail, credit/nocredit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory, or another grading systemwithout letter grades.Graduate transfer credit is not allowed for undergraduatecoursework or for continuing education units and non-creditworkshops. Graduate coursework applied toward completion ofanother degree will not be considered for transfer except for theDoctor of Psychology program which may consider transfer creditfrom a relevant master’s degree.A maximum of nine quarter units from graduate-level extensioncourses may be allowed toward a master’s degree. Graduate transfercredit is not allowed into linked-degree programs or into certificateprograms.Second Baccalaureate Degreenormally, a student who has a bachelor’s degree is discouragedfrom working toward a second degree at the baccalaureate level.however, changes in academic objectives and other circumstancesmay make a second bachelor’s degree desirable. Students are neverpermitted to enroll in any degree program that is the same as orclosely related to a previously earned degree at the same level.to obtain a second undergraduate degree, an applicant mustcomplete at least 45 units of new work beyond the first degree,fulfill all University requirements for a bachelor’s degree (includingthe 36-unit residency requirement), and any requirements in themajor for the second degree that were not previously completed.John F.

General InformationAcademic Policies and ProceduresRegistrationStudents may register to take courses for credit after complying withadmission requirements. Students receive credit only for courses inwhich they are officially registered and are not allowed to attendcourses for which they are not registered. official registrationconsists of enrolling in classes over the Internet (athttps://express.JFKU.edu), calling the registrar’s office duringspecified dates and times, or completing the appropriateregistration forms in person. Payment arrangements are due at thetime of registration. Students with unpaid balances may beprevented from attending classes or have holds placed that willprevent future registration.Prior to each registration cycle, the registrar’s office sends an emailnotice to all students advising them of the upcoming importantregistration information. is information will also be on theUniversity’s website along with general registration information andclass schedule information.Schedule of Classese University maintains scheduling information containing courseofferings, registration periods, and instructions, forms, and otheruseful information for registration on its website. Printed classschedule information is also available in various offices throughoutthe University.Changes in RegistrationStudents are expected to register for classes—including fieldplacements, independent studies, and internships—during theregistration period before the first day of the term. e web portalremains open for adds and drops during the beginning two weeksof the term (see the refund Policy in this section). Beginning thefirst day of the term, registration and changes in registration donedirectly with the registrar’s office are subject to a processing fee. Alate registration fee for initial registrations on or after the first dayof the term will be imposed. e late registration fee will be chargedin approximately week three of the term.If no written approval from the college is required, students maymake a change in registration by using the web portal(https://express.JFKU.edu) during the beginning two week of theterm. ere is no processing fee for changes made using the webportal. Students may also call the registrar’s office at (925) 969-3353or (408) 236-1120; however, changes in registration made byregistration are subject to a processing fee. e registrar’s officedoes not accept voice mail or email messages to register orchange registration.Students are required to pay any additional tuition charges, andschedule changes are subject to a processing fee. Schedule changesresulting in a reduction of units will be credited according to therefund schedule described in the following sections.If the student is on academic probation, registration and schedulechanges cannot be done on the web. An approved Probation Formmust accompany the initial registration as well as for each changeof registration. Phone permission is not acceptable for studentson Academic Probation.Dropping CoursesStudents may drop courses using the web portal through thebeginning two weeks of the terms or by using the web portal, or bynotifying the registrar’s office. Notifying an instructor or otheroffice of intent to drop does not constitute an official drop.Dropping a course during the add/drop period does not relieve thedeferred payment obligation; fees are non-refundable at any time,and any partial tuition remains if the course is dropped beginningthe eighth (8 th ) day. refund checks and credits to credit cardaccounts are processed by the accounting office after the fourthweek of the academic session. Beginning the first day of the term,fees become non-refundable.Beginning the third week or fifteenth (15 th ) day of the term and upto the last business day of the session, students may officiallywithdraw by notifying the registrar’s office. notifying an instructoror other office of intent to withdraw does not constitute an officialwithdrawal. Withdrawing from a course does not relieve thedeferred payment obligation. Students who withdraw are stillresponsible for the full amount of tuition for the course, and all fees.A Withdrawal (W) is posted on the transcript for withdrawncourses.Students who fail to complete a course or to officially drop orwithdraw will receive a failing grade or UW (UnauthorizedWithdrawal). e UW has the academic weight of F in aletter-graded course or nC in a Credit/no Credit course.Law students who do not complete a course and fail to drop orwithdraw will receive a failing grade or a grade of FW (Failure toWithdraw) which has the academic weight of 50 in a numericallygraded course and nC in a Credit/no Credit course.Students on financial aid who withdraw from all courses shouldcontact the financial aid office. refunds are calculated followingfederal regulations and supersede University policy.Refund PolicyStudents enroll in classes with the understanding they will attendthe entire course. Faculty contracts, commitment of space, andother University resources are allocated on that assumption,creating financial obligations that students who drop or withdrawmust share. e University’s refund policy reflects this position. Astudent may drop a course prior to midnight (PSt) of the fourteenth(14 th ) day of the session by contacting the registration office at (925)969-3353, (408) 236-1120 (San Jose Campus) or through the studentweb portal, Express. A processing fee may be assessed when dropsare performed by the registration office; there is no processing feefor schedule changes made through the web portal. e Expresssystem will remain open for registration and registration changesthrough midnight of the 14 th day of the term. After that, anyregistration changes (withdrawal) must be done by speaking directlywith a registration assistant.to accurately count session days, note that the first day of asession—and not the actual day a student attends class—counts asday one. is refund policy applies to all courses, including thosethat begin beyond the fourteenth (14 th ) day of the session and8 General Information John F.

Field placement, research, online, and hybridcourses also follow the same registration and refund policy asregular academic courses.Non-Registered StudentsPersons whose names do not appear on the class list or roster arenot registered for the course. Fundamentally, a person who is notregistered has no relationship with the University and is not entitledto any services including instruction, testing, evaluation, disabilityservices, or submission of a grade.Persons registered in a course who have not arranged for paymentof tuition and fees or are deviating from the curriculum withoutapproval will be administratively withdrawn and may not continueattending the course. Such persons will still owe tuition for thecourse. e college dean and the instructor(s) will be notified of thewithdrawal. After payment is received, students may be reinstatedin the course.Persons who are sitting in class and are not on the class list or rosterwill be asked to leave the course until they are registered. return tothe class is only allowed when a copy of the Student Data Sheetshowing enrollment in the course with stamped proof of paymentis provided to the instructor.Graduate Work by UndergraduatesUndergraduates who are adequately prepared to undertakeadvanced work may enroll in master-level courses. Writtenpermission must be obtained from the student’s undergraduateadvisor and the dean or program chair of the graduate college priorto registration. In some circumstances, written approval must alsobe obtained from a graduate advisor. If approval is granted, thegraduate units apply only to the bachelor’s degree unless the studenthas been admitted to a linked-degree program. Graduate-leveltuition is charged for graduate-level courses regardless of thestudent’s academic level.Maximum Unit LoadBoth undergraduate and graduate students who wish to register formore than 12 units per quarter must obtain written approval fromtheir program advisor.Independent StudyIndependent study offers students opportunity for individual ortutorial instruction in areas not covered by regularly offeredcourses. Such study is initiated and planned by the student but itmust be directed by a JFK University faculty member.A student who wishes to undertake independent study must obtainthe permission of the college dean or program chair. e student isexpected to demonstrate to the dean’s satisfaction that: (1) theplanned course of study cannot be completed through a regularlyoffered course; (2) the proposed study is demonstrablyupper-division or graduate-level academic work; (3) the studentworkload standard of 30 hours per unit of credit will be met; and(4) the content, objectives, and timetable of the study have beencarefully planned.When independent study is approved, the dean or program chairassists the student in selecting a faculty member to supervise theproject. e student and faculty supervisor prepare a Contract forIndependent Study detailing the objectives of the course, thematerials and projects to be completed, arrangements for meetingsbetween student and supervisor, units of credit to be given, numberof student-applied hours required, number and dates ofexaminations and written assignments, and criteria for evaluation.e contract also establishes a date by which the student mustcomplete all specified work.e completed Contract for Independent Study is submitted to theregistrar’s office after it has been signed by the student, facultysupervisor and dean. e registrar’s office enters the course andregisters the student, who is then responsible for paying tuition andany non-refundable fees. e Contract for Independent Study mustbe received by registrar’s office no later than Friday of the secondweek of the session.no work should begin on an independent study project until allapproval and registration procedures have been completed. Formsand instructions may be obtained from the registrar’s office.e dean has immediate responsibility and the Academic vicePresident ultimate responsibility for the quality of independentstudy.

General InformationCredit by AssessmentMaster’s-degree students may use Credit by Assessment (CBA) tofulfill only undergraduate prerequisite requirements.Undergraduate students may petition for credit for prior learningthrough CBA. Students interested in CBA should contact theirdepartment or program chair.CBA cannot be used to obtain credit for coursework alreadycompleted. Some degree requirements may not be eligible forsatisfaction through CBA. Students should check with thedepartment or program.A maximum of 30 quarter units may be earned through Credit byAssessment. e assessor determines the units awarded and theacademic level of those units (lower or upper division). eprogram advisor determines how those earned units are applied tothe student’s program.Payment of the assessment fee does not guarantee the outcome ofthe assessment or ensure that academic credit will be awarded.Units awarded through CBA will be graded on a Credit/no Creditbasis. All units earned through CBA will be designated as such onthe transcript. Units earned through CBA do not fulfill residencyrequirements.Master’s ThesisWhen a thesis, research report, or comparable project is requiredto fulfill degree requirements, the student must arrange an initialconference with the thesis coordinator of the degree program atleast one year before expected graduation.In consultation with the thesis coordinator, the student prepares aformal application and receives thesis instructions specific to thecollege or degree program. Approval for permission to enroll inthesis research must be obtained from the thesis coordinator priorto registration.Before beginning a project, the student’s writing abilities andpreparation for writing a research paper are assessed. A basiccomposition course may be required prior to the research courseand theses work if, in the judgment of the thesis coordinator, thestudent needs to strengthen basic writing skills. Specific programswith theses or final project components may require enrollment ina course that instructs the student in writing and research methods.e thesis coordinator, in consultation with the student, appointsat least one other member of the University faculty to serve withthe coordinator as the thesis committee. one member of thecommittee serves as faculty advisor. e student prepares a thesisproposal that must be approved by the thesis coordinator and thefaculty advisor at least two quarters before expected graduation.Approval must also be obtained from the faculty committeeestablished to protect individual and University rights against legaland ethical infringements.e student meets regularly with the faculty advisor for oral andwritten critiques of work in progress. e student will be asked towork with a writing instructor if the thesis draft is seriouslydeficient. Students needing writing assistance may want to contactthe JFK University Academic Support Center at (925) 969-3530.When the rough draft has been approved by all members of thethesis committee, the student prepares the final draft. Instructionson format should be obtained from the thesis coordinator. ethesis coordinator retains copies of all drafts of the proposal as wellas copies of critiques written by members of the thesis committee.e thesis coordinator has immediate responsibility and theAcademic vice President ultimate responsibility for guaranteeingthat the instruction and student work meet the university’sacademic quality standards.Students who plan to do thesis work in any of the colleges mustenroll in all required units of thesis or project research and maintaincontinuous enrollment. Students who need further help aftercompleting these courses must enroll for additional units asrequired by the individual program. Additional units, however, donot count toward fulfillment of unit requirements for the degree.Concurrent Enrollment at Other InstitutionsStudents may receive transfer credit for coursework being taken atanother institution concurrent with enrollment at JFK University.Prior to registration at the other institution, students should contactthe registrar’s office to verify transferability of the course, to ensurethat coursework will be applicable to degree requirements and thatUniversity residency requirements will be met. Students receivingfinancial aid should also contact the financial aid office.International students must have the written approval of theinternational student advisor.Cross-RegistrationSome courses not offered at JFK University may be taken throughcross-registration at the University of California, Berkeley;California State University, east Bay; Laney Community College;and Contra Costa College. Instructions and forms are available inthe registrar’s office. Students enrolled in a course throughcross-registration pay JFK University tuition and fees. Approval isgranted only to students needing these courses for their JFKUniversity residency.Grading Systeme grading system that appears in the following charts governsgrading symbols and computations for all undergraduate andgraduate students of the University. All letter grades carry qualitypoints and are computed in student GPAs. Students enrolled in theCollege of Law follow the grading system as it appears in the Collegeof Law catalog.effective fall 2013, grades of C+ and C are not acceptable in amaster’s degree or graduate certificate program. e minimumacceptable grade is B- in a master’s degree or graduate certificateprogram.e following marks may be assigned to undergraduate, master’s,and doctoral courses and have the same meaning regardless of thelevel. By definition, marks differ from grades in that they do notcarry quality points or count in the GPA (except for the UW—seenote below).Grading Criteria SymbolsLT: letter-grading in undergraduate courses, no auditors allowedwithout written permission from the program.LA: letter-grading in undergraduate courses, auditors are allowed.10 General Information John F.

See the section onrepeating Courses in the following pages for information about howrepeated courses alter the grade-point average calculation. Inletter-graded or numerically graded courses, units with grades ofW, I, nr, and IP are not computed in the GPA.In Cr/nC-graded courses, the UW is equivalent to nC; it willappear on the transcript, but will not compute in the GPA. Inletter-graded courses, the UW is equivalent to an F; it will computein the GPA as a failed course (0 points).In numerically graded courses, FW (Failure to Withdraw) has anumerical weight of 50.Credit/No Credit GradingCourses designated for Credit/no Credit (Cr/nC) grading areindicated as CA, Cn, or CP in the Grading Criteria (Gr) column ofpublished course listings.A mark of Credit (Cr) is equivalent to acceptable undergraduate orgraduate performance (the equivalent of a C or higher forundergraduate students, a B or higher for graduate-level students,and a 70.0 or higher for law students). A no-Credit (nC) markindicates that the course was not mastered. Cr and nC marks arenot included in computing the grade-point average. Cr marks are,however, recorded as units completed and included as unitssatisfying degree requirements.Graduate students may request Cr/nC grading as an alternative toletter grading only in courses designated as fulfilling competencyrequirements or in undergraduate courses prerequisite to a graduatedegree or certificate program. Undergraduate students may requestCr/nC grading only in elective courses outside the undergraduatemajor. A student on academic probation may enroll in Cr/nCgraded courses only with the approval of the college dean andprogram advisor.requests for Cr/nC grading must be submitted to the registrar’soffice before one-third of the scheduled course hours have met.Students should be aware that many employers require letter gradesin all courses for tuition reimbursement.

General InformationLetter Grading in CR/NC-Graded CoursesSome courses, including courses in the major, are designated forCr/nC grading by the college dean. In such courses, a letter gradenormally is not an option. A letter grade is granted in a Cr/nCgraded course only if the student has written approval of theinstructor and the dean of the college offering the course and hassubmitted the approval form to the registrar before more thanone-third of the scheduled course hours have met.IncompleteStudents are expected to complete all coursework as outlined in theclass syllabus by the last meeting date of the course. Granting anIncomplete is at the discretion of the instructor who must followuniversity policy. e mark of “I” (Incomplete) may be grantedwhen the student has maintained satisfactory attendance and workthroughout most of the course (including independent study) buthas not completed all of the coursework as planned and when thereis, in the judgment of the instructor, a reasonable probability thatthe student can complete the course successfully.e student must have good reason for requesting an incompleteand must submit a request to the instructor before the date gradesfor the course are due to be recorded. ordinarily, good reason willinvolve matters not wholly within the control of the student suchas illness. e mark may not be used to allow a student to improvea grade by performing additional work or by repetition of workalready submitted to the instructor.e mark of “I” is not appropriate when, in the instructor’sjudgment, it will be necessary for the student to attend subsequentsessions of the class. When further attendance is necessary, thestudent must register for the class for the term in which attendanceis required. In the event of a second registration for the course, themark of “I” for the original election will convert to F or nC (whichwill later be computed as repeated coursework) and the student willbe assessed tuition and applicable fees for the second registration.Students have a maximum of two quarters beyond the quarter inwhich the course was offered to submit the required work. For theCollege of Law, students have a maximum of one term. Ifinstructors approved an Incomplete, they may set an earlier duedate and may extend an early deadline at their discretion. In nocase can the extension be more than two quarters after the term ofthe original course election (one session for law courses). eresponsibility for completing all coursework rests entirely with thestudent. e mark of “I” will be changed to a grade when the studentcompletes the coursework as arranged with the instructor and theinstructor submits the final grade on the Incomplete form. If theinstructor has left the University, the chairperson of the departmentwill receive and grade the work.If the Incomplete is not made up in accordance with the abovepolicy, the instructor will assign the final grade or the Incompletegrade will be converted to a failing grade: F in a letter-graded course,50 in a numerically graded course, or no Credit (nC) in aCredit/no Credit course. Failing grades may affect a student’sgrade-point average.A degree or certificate cannot be awarded with an Incomplete onthe transcript.Grade ReportsFor non-law students, final grades are available through theUniversity’s web portal (https://express.jfku.edu) on the Mondayfollowing the end of the grade posting period. Students can selectthe registration tab and then the ‘Grade reports’ link to obtain theirgrades. no grades will be given by telephone, e-mail, or fax. Lawstudents may access their grades on express after the gradesdeadline for the College of Law (three weeks after the end of the lawterm.)Grade Changes1. PURPOSE1.1 is policy sets forth the conditions under which grades,once submitted to the registrar’s office by the instructor ofrecord, may be changed. It further governs the procedure bywhich students and instructors of record may petition forgrade changes and by which those petitions are evaluated.1.2 e purpose of the Grade Change Policy is to provide thestudent with an opportunity to dispute a final grade perceivedto be unfair or inaccurate, while respecting the academicresponsibility of the instructor. John F. Kennedy University(JFK University) recognizes that:1.2.1 every student has a right to receive a grade based upon a fairand unprejudiced evaluation derived from a method that isneither arbitrary nor capricious; and,1.2.2 Instructors have the right to assign a grade based on anymethod that is professionally acceptable, submitted in writingto all students, and applied equally.2. SCOPE2.1 is is a University policy that governs any college ordepartment policy, procedure, guideline, or process relatingto this topic.2.2 is policy applies to any program or course for whichacademic credit is awarded. It does not apply to continuingeducation programs, extended education programs, or otherprograms and training courses for which academic credit isnot awarded.2.3 is policy does not apply in those instances in which:2.3.1 Students have been assigned grades based on academicdishonesty or academic misconduct, which are addressed inJFK University’s Academic Integrity Policy.2.3.2 e student’s grade appeal alleges discrimination,harassment or retaliation in violation of JFK University’sSexual harassment Policy or complaints relating todiscrimination or civil rights violations, which shall bereferred first to the appropriate office at JFK University asrequired by law and by JFK University policy as specified inthe General Catalog. If, through investigation of a complaintrelating to discrimination or sexual harassment, it isdetermined that the grade awarded was motivated by ill willand is not indicative of the student’s actual demonstratedacademic performance, a Petition for a Grade Change maybe recommended by the body adjudicating the complaintrelated to discrimination or sexual harassment.2.4 is policy does not allow challenges to an instructor’sgrading standard or methods.12 General Information John F.

General Information3. DEFINITIONS3.1 Arbiter. Program chair, dean, or office of Academic Affairsstaff member assigned to resolve a grade change dispute.Under normal circumstances, the appropriate program chairassumes the role of Arbiter. however, if the instructor ofrecord is a program chair then the college dean serves asArbiter; if the instructor of record is the dean, then the officeof Academic Affairs will appoint a supervising staff memberto serve in the Arbiter role.3.2 Arbitrariness. e grade awarded does not appear to bebased on criteria related to course objectives, studentlearning outcomes, the grading rubric contained on thecourse syllabus, or other expected standards of judgment.3.3 error. e instructor made a mistake in fact (clerical error)or calculation (mathematical error).3.4 Prejudice. e grade awarded is perceived to be motivatedby ill will and is not indicative of the student’s actualdemonstrated academic performance.4. DESCRIPTION4.1 Grounds.4.1.1 only error, arbitrariness, or prejudice will be considered aslegitimate grounds to submit a Petition for Grade Change.erefore, a formal Petition for Grade Change may onlyaddress:(a) Correction of a clerical error;(b) Correction of a mathematical error; or(c) Charges of arbitrary or prejudiced action toward anindividual student.4.1.2 A Petition for Grade Change may not involve a challenge toan instructor’s grading standard or method. While a studenthas a right to expect thoughtful and clearly definedapproaches to course grading, it must be recognized thatvaried standards and individual approaches to grading arevalid. is policy considers whether a grade was determinedin a fair and appropriate manner; it does not attempt toprovide recourse of grading or re-grading individualassignments or projects.4.2 Procedure. e Petition for Grade Change procedure strivesto resolve, in a collegial manner, disagreement betweenstudent and instructor concerning the assignment of a grade.e intent is to provide a mechanism for the informaldiscussion of differences of opinion, and for formaladjudication only when necessary. Students who feel thatthey have received an erroneous grade should discuss thatgrade first with the course instructor of record. In mostcases, this informal discussion between the student and theinstructor should suffice and the matter will not need to becarried further.4.3 Informal resolution.4.3.1 A student who wishes to dispute a grade must discuss thematter first with the instructor of record as soon as possible,preferably one week after the start of the next academic termafter receiving the grade. e student should be aware thatthe only valid basis for grade appeal beyond this first step isto establish that an instructor assigned a grade that wasarbitrary, prejudiced, or based in clerical or mathematicalerror.4.3.2 If the student and the instructor reach resolution and agreethat a grade change is indicated based on instructor error, theinstructor submits a Petition for Grade Change as describedin Section 4.7, Instructor Petition for Grade Change, below.4.3.3 In the event that the instructor of record is incapacitated orotherwise unavailable to participate in the grade changepetition procedure, then the student has the right to beginthe process with the formal resolution procedure.4.4 Formal resolution Procedure. If the matter cannot beresolved with mutual agreement between student andinstructor, the student must present his or her case in a timelyfashion with the procedure outlined below. e Petition fora Grade Change process must be started near the beginningof the next academic term after the disputed grade isreceived, and the petition must be received by the registrar’soffice no later than the end of the academic term followingthe term in which the grade in question was assigned.Petitions submitted after this deadline will not be considered.4.4.1 If, after attempting informal resolution (Section 4.3), thestudent and instructor are unable to resolve thedisagreement, the student submits a written request forFormal resolution to the Arbiter (3.3.1) within one week ofattempting informal resolution with the instructor. estudent should provide with this request completedocumentation, including a clear statement of the basis fortheir dispute, and should also be aware that response to thePetition may be to raise the grade, leave the grade asrecorded, or reduce the grade.4.4.2 once the Arbiter is in receipt of the student’s written requestfor Formal resolution he or she will meet within one weekwith the student, and, if he or she believes that the complaintmay have merit, with the instructor. After consultation withthe Arbiter, the instructor may choose to let the grade remainor submit a Petition for a Grade Change to the registrar. eregistrar will communicate to the student and instructor thatthe grade will not be changed, the grade change has beenprocessed, or will explain the next step in the process thestudent must initiate.4.5 Appeals Procedure.4.5.1 If the student wishes to appeal the outcome of the Formalresolution the student should submit a written requestwithin one week of the decision date to the college dean torequest a review of the Petition for a Grade Change. e deanwill meet with the student, and will ask the appropriatecollege’s Academic Standards Committee (ASC) to reviewthe Petition. Members of the ASC must not have anyapparent conflicts of interest with the instructor of record(which might include but are not limited to frequentco-advising or research collaboration). e committee willexamine available written information on the dispute, mayschedule meetings with the student and with the instructorto ask clarifying questions, and will meet with others as it seesfit.4.5.2 rough its inquiries and deliberations, the college ASC ischarged to determine whether the grade was assigned in afair and appropriate manner, or whether clear and convincingevidence of unfair treatment such as arbitrariness, prejudice,or clerical or mathematical error might justify changing thegrade. e college committee will make its decisions basedon a majority vote. If the committee concludes that the gradewas assigned in a fair and appropriate manner, the committeewill report its conclusion in writing to the student, theinstructor, and the Program Chair, and the matter will beconsidered closed. A copy of the written decision will beJohn F. KenneDy UnIverSIty General Information 13

General Informationincluded in the official student file. If the college committeedetermines that compelling reasons exist for changing thegrade, it will request that the instructor submit a Petition fora Grade Change, providing the instructor with a writtenexplanation of its reasons to use as supportingdocumentation. Should the instructor decline, he or she mustprovide a written explanation for refusal.4.5.3 e college ASC, after considering the instructor’s refusaland explanation, and upon again concluding that it would beunjust to allow the original grade to stand, will thendetermine what grade is to be assigned. e new grade maybe higher than, the same as, or lower than the original grade.having made this determination, the members of thecommittee will submit the Petition for a Grade Change withfull supporting documentation to the registrar. einstructor, student, and appropriate program chair andcollege Dean will be advised of the new grade by theregistrar. Under no circumstances may persons other thanthe original faculty member or the college-level committeechange a grade.

JFK University presumes thatthe judgment of the instructor of record is authoritative, andthat the final grades assigned are correct.5.2 It is incumbent upon the student to substantiate the claimthat his or her final grade represents a clerical ormathematical error or unfair treatment as compared to thestandard applied to other students. only the final grade in acourse may be appealed. e grade assigned by theinstructor of record is to be considered final in the absenceof compelling reasons such as prejudice or error.Prerequisite Courses for Master’s Programsto ensure that students have sufficient background for graduatework, master’s degree programs may require undergraduateprerequisite courses. Students who have not completed the coursesprior to admission are required to do so during the first year ofgraduate study. Certain programs in the College of Graduate andProfessional Studies recommend that its students completeprerequisite courses in the quarter prior to beginning the graduateprogram; however, students may integrate any requiredundergraduate courses into the first year of graduate work.Prerequisite courses may be taken for Credit/no Credit grading asan alternative to letter grading. If a prerequisite course is taken fora letter grade, a grade of B or higher must be earned. Letter gradesfor prerequisite courses completed at JFK University are includedin the cumulative grade-point average for the graduate program. Ifa graduate student receives a low letter grade in an undergraduateprerequisite course, it may result in being placed on academicprobation. Students should be aware that many employers requireletter grades in all courses for tuition reimbursement.Undergraduate prerequisite courses may be satisfied throughacceptable coursework at an institution whose accreditation isrecognized by the Council for higher education Accreditation(CheA), through CLeP or DSSt exam, or through Credit byAssessment. Additional information is available from the registrar’soffice.Prerequisite Courses for Doctoral Programsto ensure that students have sufficient background fordoctoral-level work, the program requires undergraduateprerequisite courses. ese courses must be successfully completedprior to enrollment in the doctoral program. Prerequisite coursesmay be taken for Credit/no Credit grading as an alternative to lettergrading. If a letter-graded prerequisite course is completed after thebachelor’s degree has been awarded, a grade of B or higher must beearned.Program Transfer or Change of ProgramSome students decide after matriculation that they are better suitedfor another program at the University. In such cases, students mayapply to transfer to the new program by completing a Change ofProgram form. e advisor of the new program will go over therequirements and, if accepting the student, will sign approval on theChange of Program Form. e Change of Program form is only foruse by students who wish transfer within academic levels.

Students simultaneously enrolled ina combination of degree/certificate programs have only fourapproved/unapproved leaves.non-attendance for one or more terms without an approved leavemay impact the student’s matriculation or residency status at theUniversity. Students who are absent without an approved leave orwho are absent for a term beyond the approved leave will berequired to apply for readmission before enrolling in furthercoursework. Such students are subject to having those admissionsrequirements in place at the time of re-application and are notautomatically awarded credit for prior coursework uponreadmission.Students who receive financial aid are strongly advised to contactthe Financial Aid office before requesting a leave of absence todiscuss the impact of the leave on financial aid eligibility and loanrepayment status. Generally, leaves of absence are treated aswithdrawals for federal financial aid purposes and may cause federalloans to enter repayment status.Other Notes:e registrar’s office will review a student’s record for all absencesto determine eligibility:If courses remain on the student’s schedule for a term in which aleave of absence is requested, those courses are automaticallywithdrawn, and the accounting and financial aid offices will benotified. e student remains responsible for the tuition.ere is no retroactive leave of absence; students must submitpetition in the quarter/semester either prior to or concurrent withthe request.16 General Information John F.

In support of the purpose of this legislation JFK Universitywishes to make known its concern for the health and well-being ofall members of the University community—students, staff, andfaculty—as well as the health and well-being of the community as awhole.JFK University policy prohibits the unlawful possession, use, ordistribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employeeson its property or as part of any of its activities. Such prohibitionspecifically includes, without limitation:• Possession or use of any controlled substance, including heroin,barbiturates, cocaine, LS D, hallucinogens, and marijuana;• e sale of any controlled substance which is in violation of local,state, or federal statutes;• Giving alcohol to any person under the age of twenty-one (21)or the use of alcohol on campus, unless at a specificallyauthorized University activity; and• Any other conduct which involves a drug-related violation oflocal, state, or federal statutes is included in this prohibition.violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action or referralfor prosecution according to local, state, and federal statues, or both.Disciplinary actions for violations by students will be determinedby a hearing Committee according to the process outlined in“hearing Procedures” below.Academic IntegrityBecause academic integrity is a cornerstone of the University’scommitment to the principles of free inquiry, students areresponsible for learning and upholding professional standards ofresearch, writing, assessment, and ethics in their areas of study. Inthe academic community the high value placed on truth implies acorresponding intolerance of academic dishonesty. Written orother work which students submit must be the product of their ownefforts and must be consistent with appropriate standards ofprofessional ethics.Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and anyattempt to obtain credit for academic work through fraudulent,deceptive, or dishonest means. Below is a list of some formsacademic dishonesty may take.• Using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information,or study aids in any academic exercise;• Submitting work previously submitted in another course withoutthe consent of the instructor;• Sitting for an examination by surrogate or acting as a surrogate;• representing the words, ideas, or work of another as one’s ownin any academic exercise; and• Conducting any act that defrauds the academic process;Plagiarism is the presentation of another person’s ideas or work asone’s own. As such, plagiarism constitutes fraud or theft. Plagiarismor academic dishonesty in any form is a grave offense and will notbe tolerated.If an instructor determines there is sufficient evidence of academicdishonesty on the part of a student, the instructor may exercise oneor more of the following options:• require a timed writing sample to be written on the assignedtopic to determine the veracity of the suspicion;• require that the work be rewritten;• Issue a lowered or failing grade for the assignment;• Issue a lowered or failing grade for the course; and/or• request formal disciplinary action by the Chief Conduct officerIf a student’s assignment or course grade is lowered on the groundsof academic dishonesty, the instructor must inform the student thatacademic dishonesty figured into the calculation of the grade. estudent may exercise his/her right to appeal the grade by requestinga disciplinary hearing, convened by the Chief Conduct officer. estudent must submit a written appeal to the Chief Conduct officerwithin forty-five (45) days of the allegation.It is the instructor’s responsibility to report any reasonable suspicionof academic dishonesty to the Chief Conduct officer so that suchbehavior may be monitored and repeat offenders identified.notification may be made through one’s program director. Uponrequest for disciplinary action or upon repeated offenses, the ChiefConduct officer will initiate hearing proceedings that may result indisciplinary action such as probation, suspension, or expulsion.Avoiding PlagiarismStudents must give credit for any information that is not either theresult of original research or common knowledge. For example, itwould be necessary to give credit to an author who provided anargument about the strategic importance of the emancipationProclamation in the American Civil War. Conversely, majorhistorical facts, such as the dates of the American Civil War, areconsidered common knowledge and do not require that credit begiven to a particular author.If a student borrows ideas or information from another author,he/she must acknowledge the author in the body of the text and onthe reference page. If a student borrows the words of another author,he/she must be careful to use the author’s exact words, enclose themin quotation marks, and cite the source in the body of the text andalso on the reference page. If students are unsure whether or notthey should cite, they are encouraged to cite. ey are alsoencouraged to ask their instructors for guidance on this issue.Students might also consult writing handbooks and/or refer to theirdepartments for specific citation style within that discipline.John F.

Federal andState Authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and datasecurity promises from the entities that they authorize to receivestudents’ PII, but the Authorities need not maintain direct controlover such entities. In addition, in connection with StatewideLongitudinal Data Systems, State Authorities may collect, compile,permanently retain, and share without student consent PII fromeducation records, and they may track a student’s participation ineducation and other programs by linking such PII to other personalinformation about the student that they obtain from other Federalor State data sources, including workforce development,unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, militaryservice, and migrant student records systems.University Refund PolicyUniversity fees are non-refundable beginning the first day of theterm.

Faculty contracts, commitment of space, andother University resources are allocated on that assumption,creating financial obligations that students who drop or withdrawmust share. e University’s refund policy reflects this position. Astudent may drop a course prior to midnight (PSt) of the fourteenth(14 th ) day of the session by contacting the registration office at (925)969-3353, (408) 236-1120 (San Jose Campus) or through the studentweb portal, Express.

All students who apply for federal, state and most institutionalfinancial aid at John F. Kennedy University must maintainsatisfactory academic progress while receiving financial aid.the Financial Aid office at JFK University monitors academicprogress each term, monitoring all units attempted and completed,including:1. Units that were transferred from another institution andaccepted by JFK University;2. Units from JFK University that were attempted for which thestudent did not receive any aid; and3. Units earned prior to a student’s change in program.the University complies with federal regulations to monitor studentaid recipients’ academic progress toward a degree or certificate inthe following ways:QUALITATIVELY – ensuring students’ academic grades areconsistent with requirements for receipt of a degree or certificate.Students must maintain a minimum, cumulative grade pointaverage (GPA) of:a) 2.0 (C) if an undergraduate student;b) 3.0 (B) if a graduate student;c) 3.0 (B) in all undergraduate and graduate courses during theperiod of linking if student is linking a BA or BS to an MAprogram; andd) a score of 70 if a law student.QUANTITATIVELY – ensuring students complete their programwithin a maximum time frame.Because students at JFK University pursue a variety of educationalobjectives, the number of units required for completion will varyfrom program to program. A standard academic year at JFKUniversity is defined as three terms (either three quarters or threesemesters) or four sessions. In order to be considered makingquantitative satisfactory academic progress, however, all financialaid applicants and recipients must adhere to the followingguidelines:a) Unit Completion rate/Pace requirement – Students mustcomplete (receive credit for or earn units in) at least 80% of allcumulative units attempted. the following grades are notconsidered units successfully completed: I, W, UW, AU, nC, F,nr; andb) Maximum timeframe – Students are limited to taking no morethan 150% of the units, including transfer units, of the publishedlength of their program.Repeating Courses to Achieve a Passing Grade – repeatedcoursework may be included when determining enrollment statusin a term if a student needs to meet an academic standard for aparticular previously passed course, such as minimum grade.Financial Aid Warning – Any student who fails to meet thesatisfactory progress standards for either GPA and/or unitscompleted percentage will be notified and placed on a Financial AidWarning for one term. Students are still eligible to receive federalaid while on a Financial Aid Warning.Juris Doctor Program Financial Aid Warning – Any Law student(only pertains to students enrolled in the Juris Doctor program atJFK University) who fails to meet the satisfactory progress standardsfor either GPA and/or units completed percentage will be notifiedand placed on a Financial Aid Warning for two semesters if a courseis notated with an “In Progress” (IP) grade after the first semesterof a two-semester (one-year) course. Students are still eligible toreceive federal aid while on a Financial Aid Warning.Financial Aid Termination – When grades have been posted atthe end of the Financial Aid Warning period (one term), any studentstill failing to meet either the qualitative or quantitative standardsfor maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress will be disqualifiedfrom receiving further financial aid. In addition, students aregranted only one warning period while enrolled. once a studenthas used his/her FA Warning Period and subsequentlyre-establishes eligibility, (s)he will automatically be disqualified if(s)he ever falls below the required minimums again.Appeal Process/Financial Aid Probation – If the student is notmaking Satisfactory Academic Progress after the Warning Periodtheir FA eligibility is terminated. A student may appeal to have theireligibility reinstated. the Financial Aid Appeals form is availablein the JFK University Financial Aid office in Pleasant hill. theFinancial Aid Director will review each appeal on a case-by-casebasis within 30 days upon receipt of the appeal. If the Directorapproves the appeal, additional term(s) of probation may be offered.the student will continue to receive Financial Aid during theapproved probationary period.

General Information1.)extraordinary circumstances may include a student’s illness orinjury, death in the family, or other serious factors that areoutside the student’s control.2.)In addition to documenting the extraordinary circumstances, theappeal must include what has changed in the student’s situationthat would allow the student to demonstrate that they are or willbe making Satisfactory Academic Progress in the future.b) Academic Plan – A probationary period may require anapproved Financial Aid Academic Plan that will ensure that thestudent is able to meet the institution’s Satisfactory AcademicProgress standards by a point in time. e FA Academic Plancan come from and be approved by a Departmental Chair orAcademic Advisor. If the student does not follow therequirements of the FA Academic Plan or fails to meet theSatisfactory Academic Progress standards by the date specifiedon the Plan, then the student will lose financial aid eligibility andwill not be eligible to appeal.Reinstatement – If, after a student has been disqualified fromreceiving federal aid, the student feels that (s)he has improvedhis/her academic standing to comply within the minimum financialaid academic standards, (s)he may petition the Director of FinancialAid to have his/her financial aid eligibility re-established from thatpoint forward. Students may re-establish eligibility only one time.these policies are subject to federal, state and institutional changeswithout prior notice. the Financial Aid office will make everyattempt to advise students of impending change but cannotguarantee such notice. All students are subject to currentstandards, not the standards which were in effect at the time ofenrollment. this is necessary to comply with any change in federaland/or state statute, regulation or policy regarding student aideligibility.Return of Title IV Fundsreturn of title Iv Funds is a federally mandated policy that appliesonly to students who receive federal financial aid and who fullywithdraw, drop out or are dismissed prior to completing 60% of aterm or cohort. return to title Iv Funds will be used to determinehow much aid, if any, must be returned to title Iv programs(Federal Direct Loans - subsidized and unsubsidized, Perkins Loans,Federal Direct PLUS Loans (graduate and dependent parents), PellGrant, FSeoG and Cal Grants.the return to title Iv Funds calculation identifies two types offederal aid, earned and unearned. the “earned” aid is based on apercentage calculated by dividing the number of days the studentcompleted by the number of days in the payment period.% earned = # of days completed up to the withdrawal date____________________________________________________total # of calendar days in termA student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns alldisbursed (received) and disbursable aid. Disbursable aid includesaid received and the aid that could have been (but was not)disbursed as of the withdrawal date. If earned aid exceeds disbursedaid, a post-withdrawal disbursement may be made. JFK Universitywill first credit post-withdrawal disbursements toward unpaidtuition and fees. JFK University will offer the student part of thepost-withdrawal not credited to school charges. Within 30 days ofdetermination that the student withdrew, the Financial Aid officewill provide the student with notification of any post-withdrawalfunds that are available to the student. no post-withdrawaldisbursements will be made if the student does not respond within14 days of the notification.Unearned aid is any disbursed aid that exceeds the amount of titleIv aid the student earned. the “unearned” aid amount is to bereturned to the lender, a responsibility shared by JFK University andthe student. JFK University is responsible for returning the lesserof the total amount of unearned aid or the JFK Universityinstitutional charges multiplied by the percentage of unearned aid.(100% - % earned) x Amount of aid disbursed toward institutionalchargesJFK University’s charges used in the return to title Iv calculationcan include the amount that had been assessed to the student’saccount before the student’s withdrawal. the student is responsiblefor the difference between the total unearned amount and the JFKUniversity share.JFK University must return its share of unearned funds no later than45 days after it determines that the student withdrew. Fundsreturned will be distributed in the following order: Federal DirectLoans - Subsidized and Unsubsidized, Perkins Loans, Federal DirectPLUS (graduate and dependent parent) Loans, Pell Grant, FSeoGand Cal Grants.After the return to title Iv Funds policy is applied, all student aidis subject to the JFK University institutional refund policy.Withdrawal/Leave of AbsenceAll undergraduate and graduate students who wish to withdrawfrom JFK University during a quarter/semester must do soaccording to the schedule and instructions published by theregistrar’s office.reauthorization of the higher education Amendments, signed intolaw on october 7, 1998, resulted in a process in the federalregulations governing the refund or return of federal (title Iv)funds. When a student withdraws from the university, thewithdrawal date used in determining the federal refund policy is thedate:* e student files the Add/Drop Form with the registrationoffice;* e student officially notifies in writing or by phone toregistration his/her intent to withdraw; or* e date JFK University determines most accurately reflects thelast day of attendance at an academically-related activity of thestudent.If the student leaves without beginning the official withdrawalprocess or otherwise providing official notification of intent towithdraw, the withdrawal date will be the 50 percent point in theterm. In this instance, JFK University could determine an earlierwithdrawal date if documented circumstances beyond the student’scontrol (e.g., illness) have prevented the student from beginning theofficial withdrawal process. e university could also determine thelast date of an academically related activity of the student.e date used to determine the return of federal funds may bedifferent than the date used by the university to determineinstitutional refunds.e financial aid office at JFK University does not recognize leavesof absence for financial aid purposes.38 General Information John F.

The full-time plan of study takes fiveyears to complete. Full-time students complete four years of coursework(four quarters per year) including a weekly practicum duringyear one, three, and four of the program, and then a year-longinternship. Students may choose to enroll in an intensive programwhereby all coursework is completed in three years and then go tointernship in their fourth year. Part-time students work with theiradvisor to develop a modified schedule tailored to each individualstudent’s needs. In addition to the coursework, practica and internship,students are also required to complete a clinical dissertationproject. All students must meet the residency requirement, taking aminimum of 36 units in a year (over four quarters) for at least one ofthe years they are in the program. At present, about two-thirds ofour graduates finish the program in five years or less.AccreditationPsychological Association (APA).

This composite of courses is designed to integratestudents’ practicum experiences with their coursework throughoutthe program. During each practicum year, small groups of studentsmeet together with a faculty member. Depending on the year, IPSemphasizes different elements of work with diverse populations.These include, for example, examining one’s own belief systems,worldview, and biases through group process and clinical casepresentations. The IPS provides a supportive setting in whichstudents may collaboratively integrate their applied and academicexperiences.Practicum IIn contrast to both Practicum II and Practicum III, which areclinical placements, Practicum I is an ethnographic experience. Thefirst year ethnographic practicum lays the foundation for cultureanddiversity-sensitive training as well as practice in self-reflectionand self-awareness. The ethnographic experience involvesimmersion in environments that provide unique and diversecultural experiences for the trainees. This immersion establishes anunderstanding of diversity and the relationships of power, privilege,and oppression in the practice of psychology.The purpose of the ethnographic practicum (Practicum I) is toprovide first-year doctoral trainees with experience in an unfamiliarculture/setting. For a minimum of eight hours per week, first-yeartrainees engage in a cultural immersion experience in a settingspecifically selected to expose trainees to a population with whomthey have had little or no prior contact.Practicum I trainees are not permitted to engage in clinical work.This placement is, however, integrally related to traineedevelopment as clinical psychologists. It is one of the principalmeans by which trainees establish the foundation necessary to workwith the diversity of clients that they will encounter in theirsubsequent clinical placements as well as their future work asprofessionals.Practicum IIPracticum II is a clinical placement at one of over 60 available sites.The focus of Practicum II is on the supervised integration andapplication of knowledge gained from Practicum I and ongoingdoctoral coursework. In Practicum II, trainees work 16–20 hoursper week to develop skills in assessment, case conceptualization,and treatment of clients using a multicultural perspective.Practicum IIIPracticum III is an advanced clinical placement at one of over 60available sites for 20–24 hours per week. The focus of Practicum IIIis on the supervised integration and application of knowledgegained from previous practica, and ongoing doctoral coursework.At a more complex level than Practicum II, trainees develop skills incomprehensive assessment, conceptualization, and formulation ofclient cases from a multicultural/ diversity perspective. However,the focus in Practicum III is extended to include advanced skills inthe development of systematic and evidence-based plans forintervention with individuals, groups, or communities.Pre-Doctoral InternshipTrainees apply for pre-doctoral internship when they are in thefourth year of the full-time curriculum. Trainees need to beregistered for the relevant number of internship units for eachquarter in which they are accruing internship hours. JFK UniversityPsyD trainees may apply for full-time or part-time internshipprograms that are accredited by APA or approved by CAPIC and/orAPPIC. To be considered full time, trainees must work a minimumof 35 hours per week. A full-time internship is completed in fourquarters at nine units per quarter for a total of 36 units.Comprehensive Written Examination (Comps)This examination, typically given in the summer of Year 3 of the fulltimecurriculum, is similar to the Examination for ProfessionalPractice in Psychology (EPPP), which is one of the requirements forCalifornia licensure. The exam consists of 200 multiple-choicequestions and is taken after successful completion of required first-,second-, and third year courses. Passing this exam is a requirementfor advancement in both the academic and clinical portions of theprogram.There is a $100 fee paid at the time of this exam that covers thisexam and the Clinical Proficiency Exam.78 College of Graduate and Professional Studies JOHN F.

JFK Universityhas achieved this by linking the Master of Art (MA) in SportPsychology program with the Clinical Doctoral program (PsyD).Unlike a research-based PhD, the PsyD program is designed toproduce practitioners, not researchers, while providing the samehigh level of scholarly study. A sport psychology student now has achoice of whether to choose a clinical route (the MA plus the PsyD)or a non-clinical path (the MA in Sport Psychology only). Both theMA in Sport Psychology and the PsyD offer the highest level ofavailable training in applied sport and clinical psychologyrespectively. In the past, students could earn a master’s degree intwo years and a Doctorate of Psychology in an additional four years.is innovative linked program allows completion of both degreeswithin five years of full-time, intensive study (part-time options arealso available). Having both degrees (plus a psychology license) willenable graduates to use the title “Sport Psychologist,” allow them toapply for either master’s or doctoral certification through theAssociation for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), and work withboth clinical and athletic clients by applying the skills andknowledge developed from both fields. Eligibility to take thepsychology licensing examination for the state of California will alsobe earned.e unique dual degree program enables completion of two degreesin five years of full-time study (a process that would normally takesix years if taken separately). Completion of the MA/PsyD dualdegree program allows graduates to apply a wide range ofperformance enhancement and clinical skills to both athletic andnon-sporting populations. e full-time student starts in the SportPsychology program for the first year and then moves into the PsyDprogram for the following four years. Once in the PsyD program,the dual degree student fulfills all the same curricular and trainingrequirements asked of all PsyD students. e MA component ofthe dual degree program consists of 42 units in the SportPsychology program and 35 units in the PsyD program (completedduring the first two years of the PsyD program, i.e., years two andthree of full-time study). Upon successful completion of these 77units and the Master’s Comprehensive Written and Oralexaminations, a Master’s degree will be conferred. e student thenneeds to take another 145 units in the PsyD Program to completeall requirements for the PsyD.For information on the practicum, internship examinations, andadvancement to candidacy, refer to the PsyD section of this catalog.114 College of Graduate and Professional Studies JOHN F.
