GRADING SYSTEM

The Institute utilizes a pass/fail grading system:

students are also graded on the acquisition of practical demonstrable skills. Any assignment not submitted as due or any test missed will be graded a zero

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

These standards of satisfactory academic progress have been established following guidelines adopted by the U.S. Department of Education.  This institution expects its students to maintain satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain satisfactory academic progress as established by this institution, a student must:

1. Maintain a cumulative academic grade point average of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale;

2. Complete his or her program of study within a maximum time frame of one and

one half times the length of the program as defined in the enrollment agreement;

3. Successfully complete at least 67% of the attempted hours at the end of each

    month in order to complete the educational objective with the maximum time

   frame;

4. Comply with satisfactory academic progress, which is divided into evaluation

     periods   and is assessed at the end of each of each month of training;

5. Show satisfactory academic progress standards, which are consistently applied to

    all students within categories of students, e.g., full-time, part-time, and varying 

    programs established by the institution.

Students who withdraw from school will be evaluated on course work completed at the time of withdrawal. Students with incomplete course work will be issued an incomplete grade for the course work and will be deemed not making satisfactory progress. A grade of incomplete will revert to a failure if not completed/corrected within 135 days from the start date. The institution does not offer non-credit remedial course work. A student may repeat a module only once, with the higher grade earned being the grade of record.

Students who fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress during an evaluation period will be placed on probation for one month, If the student does not meet the satisfactory progress standards (A GPA or 2.0 or lower for 3 consecutive weeks) by the end of this period, they will be given a second notice of probation for an additional two week period. The student will remain eligible to receive student aid during these probationary periods. 

Probationary students who fail to meet the satisfactory academic progress standards by the conclusion of the second probationary period, will be deemed to be not making satisfactory progress and will lose any remaining eligibility for student financial aid and may be terminated at the discretion of the institution. In the event students are allowed to continue instruction, aid eligibility will be reinstated only after the student has reestablished satisfactory academic progress in accordance with the standards stated above. Probationary students who meet the satisfactory academic progress standards by the end of the probationary period, will be removed from probation and will retain eligibility for Title IV aid.

Students who wish to appeal a determination that they are not making satisfactory academic progress must submit a written appeal to the financial aid committee. The Committee consists of the school director and the instructor. The letter should describe any circumstances that the student believes deserve special consideration. The committee will evaluate the appeal and inform the student of their decision in writing.  Students may reestablish their eligibility for aid payments by correcting any deficiencies to the acceptable minimum levels of these standards.

STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

A copy of the Complaint Form is available at the school and may be obtained by contacting J. Corey Friedman, President. Persons seeking to resolve problems or complaints should first contact the instructor in charge.

CANCELLATION POLICY - (WITHIN FIRST FIVE DAYS)

Students may cancel their enrollment agreement contract with school without any penalty or obligation by midnight of the date that is the first business day following the day of the first class.  To cancel the contract for school, mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of the Cancellation Notice, or any other written notice, or send a telegram to:  The California Institute of Locksmithing, 5900 Sepulveda Bldg #301, Van Nuys, CA 91411, attention J. Corey Friedman.

If the student cancels, any payment the student has made and any negotiable instrument signed by the student shall be returned to the student within 10 days following the school's receipt of the student's Cancellation Notice.

If the school issued any equipment to the student, the student must return the equipment within 10 days of the date the student signed a Cancellation Notice. If the student does not return the equipment within this 10-day period, the school may keep an account out of what the student paid that equals the cost of equipment.

CANCELLATION POLICY -    (AFTER FIRST FIVE DAYS)

Each student has the right to withdraw from a course of instruction at any time.  Students who withdraw after the end of the cancellation period, have the right to receive a refund for the part of the course not taken, less the cost of un-returned equipment and less a registration fee not exceeding seventy-five dollars. The student shall have their refund calculated on a "pro-rata" basis depending on how many scheduled hours remain in the course at the time of the withdrawal.

REFUND POLICY

Refunds are calculated as follows:  The refund shall be the amount the student paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours of instruction that the student has not yet received but for which the student has paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of hours of instruction for which the student has paid. Student who have not visited the school prior to starting class or have been rejected will receive a full refund without any deductions.

Example: A student is enrolled in a course that is 360 clock hours long and withdraws from class after fifteen days of instruction, which is scheduled to six hours per day. Therefore, 90 hours of the student's course have elapsed and 270 hours remain. If the total price is $4,775.00, and the student has paid all fees, the refund would be calculated as follows:

I. Step One

Amount paid for instruction by student to date                           $4,775.00

Minus registration fee                                                                      $75.00

Subtotal:  $4,700.00

$4,700.00 - 270 hours of instruction not yet received               $3,525.00

         360 hours in course for which student paid

2. Step Two

Initial refund amount                                                                   $3,525.00

Minus cost of unreturned equipment                                                  0.00

Actual refund amount                                                                  $3,525.00

The school will refund any money due within 10 business days after receiving a notice of cancellation.

A student who wishes to cancel or voluntarily terminate after starting training may submit a written notice to the School Director. In any event, the termination date for refund computation purposes is the last date of actual attendance by the student. In the case of prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the program, the school shall make a settlement that is reasonable and fair to both penalties.

If any portion of the tuition was paid from the proceeds of a loan, the refund shall be sent to the lender or, if appropriate, to the state or federal agency that guaranteed or reinsured the loan. Any amount of refund in excess of the unpaid balance of the loan shall first be used to repay any student financial aid programs from which the student received benefits, in proportion to the amount of the benefits received, and any remaining amount shall be paid to the student.
