■ ADDENDUM, effective May 28, 2014: The following Refund language has been updated in the catalog.

Institutional Pro Rata Refund Calculation and Policy When a student withdraws, The School must determine how much of the tuition and fees he/she is eligible to retain. The Pro Rata Refund Calculation and Policy is an institutional policy and is different from the Federal Financial Aid Return Policy and Return calculation; therefore, after both calculations are applied, a student may owe a debit balance (i.e. the student incurred more charges than he/she earned Title IV funds) to The School. The School will perform the Pro Rata Refund Calculation for those students who terminate their training before completing the period of enrollment (i.e., students who receive a final grade of “W” or “WZ”). Under the Pro Rata Refund Calculation, The School is entitled to retain only the percentage of charges (tuition, room, board, etc.) proportional to the period of enrollment completed by the student. The period of enrollment for students enrolled in modular programs is the academic year. The period of enrollment for students enrolled in quarter-based programs is the quarter. The refund is calculated using the following steps:

1. Determine the total charges for the period of enrollment.2. Divide this figure by the total number of calendar days in the period of enrollment.3. The answer to the calculation in step 2 is the daily charge for instruction.4. The amount owed by the student for the purposes of calculating a refund is derived by multiplying the total

calendar days in the period as of the student’s last date of attendance by the daily charge for instruction and adding in any book or equipment charges.

5. The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in step 4 that was paid by the student.

DISCRIMINATION GRIEVANCE PROCEDURESA student initiates the Discrimination Grievance Procedure by contacting the Section 504/ADA Coordinator for disability-related complaints, or the Campus President for all other complaints alleging discrimination carried out by employees, other students, or third parties. The Section 504/ADA Coordinator and Campus President can be reached at the campus contact information located in this catalog. A student’s participation in any informal resolution procedures is voluntary and he/she may pursue this formal grievance procedure at any time. The Section 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President or his/her designee will explain the complaint procedures and assist the student in filing a complaint. The complaint need only be a written letter containing allegations that specifically identify the discriminatory conduct, the person(s) who did it, and all witnesses the student believes can support the allegations. A complaint should be made as soon as the student believes he/she has been discriminated against, but no later than within 180 days of the date that the alleged discrimination occurred, or the date on which the student could reasonably have learned of the discrimination.

When a complaint is filed, the Section 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President or his/her designee begins an investigation within 14 days. The student, the accused, and any witnesses they identify are interviewed. Any relevant documents identified by these persons are reviewed. Within 45 days of the complaint, the Section 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President or his/her designee will inform the student and accused in writing of sufficient or insufficient evidence to confirm the student’s allegations, state the key facts, reasons why that conclusion was reached, and outline any proposed resolution or corrective action if applicable, subject to any applicable privacy constraints. The student is also notified of the right to appeal the investigation conclusion. An appeal must be made in writing to the CCi Director of Academic Services, who may be reached at the Student Help Line number or email address below within 15 days of receiving notice about the investigation conclusion. Within 15 days of receiving the appeal, the CCi Director of Academic Services will review the matter and provide a decision in writing.

Complaints are investigated in a manner that protects the privacy and confidentiality of the parties to the extent possible. No employee or agent of the School may intimidate, threaten, coerce or otherwise discriminate or retaliate against any individual because he or she has filed a complaint or participated in the complaint resolution process. If a student believes any such retaliation has occurred, a complaint of retaliation should be filed according to the procedure described above. Everest makes every effort to prevent recurrence of any finding of discrimination and corrects any discriminatory effects on the grievant and others, if appropriate.

If the 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President is the subject of the grievance, the student should contact the Student Services Manager at the Student Help Line at (800) 874-0255 or via email at [email protected]. The Student Helpline in consultation with the appropriate Academic Services team member(s) will provide guidance to the student for initiating and submitting their grievance in writing to [email protected].

ADDED:

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY (MODULAR PROGRAMS ONLY) Everest permits students to request a leave of absence (LOA) as long as the leave does not exceed a total of

180 days during any 12-month period, starting from the first day of the first leave, and as long as there are documented, legitimate extenuating circumstances that require the students to interrupt their education, including pregnancy (including childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, and recovery therefrom) or temporary disability. Students requesting an LOA must submit a completed Leave of Absence Request Form prior to the beginning date of the leave. If unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from submitting the request in advance, the leave may still be granted, but only if:

a) the school documents the unforeseen circumstances, andb) the student submits a completed Leave of Absence Request Form by the tenth (10th) calendar day of the

leave. NOTE: Everest does not permit leaves of absence for students enrolled in quarter-based programs. Students

experiencing circumstances that may make it necessary to interrupt their attendance temporarily should see the Academic Dean/Director of Education.

A student must return from a LOA on the first day of any appropriate module or prior to the expiration of his or her leave. A student who goes on leave prior to the end of a module shall receive a grade of “L” (leave) which shall remain on his or her transcript until the student returns from an LOA, retakes the entire module and earns a grade. The module with a grade of “L” shall not be included in the calculation of Rate of Progress (ROP), Maximum Time Frame (MTF) or attendance.

REFUND POLICIES

Institutional Pro Rata Refund Calculation and Policy When a student withdraws, the school must determine how much of the tuition and fees it is eligible to retain. The Pro Rata Refund Calculation and Policy is an institutional policy and is different from the Federal Financial Aid Return Policy and Return calculation; therefore, after both calculations are applied, a student may owe a debit balance (i.e. the student incurred more charges than he/she earned Title IV funds) to the school. The school will perform the Pro Rata Refund Calculation for students who terminate their training before completing the period of enrollment. Under the Pro Rata Refund Calculation, the school is entitled to retain only the percentage of charges (tuition, fees, room, board, etc.) proportional to the period of enrollment completed by the student. The period of enrollment completed by the student is calculated by dividing the total number of calendar days in the period of enrollment into the calendar days in the period as of the student’s last date of attendance. The period of enrollment for students enrolled in modular programs is the academic year. The period of enrollment for students enrolled in quarter-based programs is the quarter. The refund is calculated using the following steps:

1. Determine the total charges for the period of enrollment.2. Divide this figure by the total number of calendar days in the period of enrollment.3. The answer to the calculation in step (2) is the daily charge for instruction.4. The amount owed by the student for the purposes of calculating a refund is derived by multiplying the total

calendar days in the period as of the student’s last date of attendance by the daily charge for instruction and adding in any book or equipment charges.

5. The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in step (4) that was paid by the student.

If The School fails to furnish the training program agreed upon in the Enrollment Agreement, The School shall refund to the student all the money the student has paid.
