Northwest Career College School Catalog - 2018

All submitted grievances about academic-related issues will be reviewed and investigated by the Education
Department. All submitted grievances about administrative issues will be reviewed and investigated by the
Chief Operating Officer. If necessary, a meeting will be held with the Dean of Students or Chief Operating
Officer (or their designated representative) and the relevant parties. Every attempt will be made to obtain a
resolution at this time, but if a consensus is not reached, the administrative representative will issue a
determination and recommendations regarding corrective action if any is needed. Once a determination about
the incident is made, action may or may not be taken per the corrective action recommendation(s). All incident
reports and follow up notes are subsequently entered into the students’ file, relevant employee’s file if
applicable, and maintained in a separate incident file.
If the grievance cannot be resolved between NCC and the student directly, the student may contact the Nevada
Commission on Postsecondary Education in writing at 8778 S. Maryland Pkwy., Suite 115, Las Vegas, NV
89120 or by phone at 702-486-7330. The student may also submit a written complaint to the institution’s
accreditors using the ABHES Complaint Form, which is available from ABHES or at www.abhes.org. The
written complaint and supporting documentation must be emailed to Complaints Specialist, info@abhes.org, or
mailed to Complaints Specialist, 7777 Leesburg Pike, Suite 314 North Falls Church, Virginia 22043.
Complaints must be made within 90 days of the last event that is material to the complaint.
Additionally, other than for a grievance related to grades, students are encouraged, but not required, to utilize
the Grievance Procedure described herein prior to proceeding with any demand for arbitration. Any dispute
arising from enrollment at the Institution, other than a dispute related to grades, and no matter how described,
pleaded, or styled, will be resolved by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act conducted in the
city in which the Institution is located.
The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services ("JAMS") under JAMS'
Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or other applicable JAMS rules. Any award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision summarizes and
incorporates the arbitration agreement found elsewhere in the Institution's enrollment materials, including the
Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Jury Trial.
Guests on Campus
Students must request prior written approval from the Education Department to bring a guest to the campus
facilities. Unauthorized guests are not permitted and will be asked to leave if present on campus. Students may
not bring their children to class or leave them alone in the common areas of the NCC campus facilities.

following documentation to the Student Development Department within 90 days of their start date:
1. Hepatitis B Vaccination

Failure to submit records within the first 90 days of enrollment will result in a Conduct Violation. Please see the
