The College maintains complete education records on each student’s admission, funding, academic progress, conduct, and career employment after graduation. These records are retained after the student graduates, and each department follows its own policies and procedures governing how long and in what form these records are maintained.

Information not considered part of a student’s education records includes, but may not be limited to,

• records which include information about other students.

• medical records unrelated to the student’s enrollment or to subsequent action by the College.

• records created and retained by faculty or staff solely as aids to memory, provided that these are not intentionally filed where accessible to others.

• confidential letters and recommendations.

• law enforcement records.

• records unrelated to the individual’s status as a student, former student, or graduate of the College.

• financial information provided by the student’s parents.

Education records are available for the student’s review in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law which protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools which receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. Students have specific rights regarding the release of such records, and FERPA requires that institutions adhere strictly to these guidelines. In compliance with FERPA, the College guarantees to each student the following rights regarding his or her education records:

1) The right to demand that education records be disclosed only with the student’s written consent. However, institutions are permitted by the law to disclose information in education records, without student consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions:

• To officials of the College who have a legitimate educational interest in the information. Such officials may include administrative, supervisory, academic, and staff personnel, as well as qualified persons contracted or retained by the College to provide appropriate legal or administrative services not performed by its employees in the normal course of their duties.

• To another institution to which a student is transferring, upon the request of that institution

• To specified authorized officials for audit or evaluation purposes

• To appropriate parties in connection with a student’s financial aid or other government benefits

• To legitimate organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the College

• To appropriate accrediting and licensing agencies in response to their requests or requirements

• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena

• To appropriate institutional and public officials in cases of health and safety emergencies

• To state and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law

2) The right to examine, within 45 days of a written request, his or her education records maintained by the College. In order to examine the records, the student or graduate must submit the request to the Registrar and identify which records he or she wishes to examine. The Registrar will arrange a time and place for this examination. The student or graduate must present identification in order to review his or her records.

3) The right to request, in writing, that the College amend education records which the student believes to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of his or her privacy rights under FERPA. The request should be addressed to the Registrar, identify the part of the record the student wishes to have amended, and specify why the record should be amended. The Registrar will notify the person responsible for the record. If the College decides not to amend the record, the student will receive written notification of that decision. The notification will include the procedure for a hearing, should the student request one.

4) The right to file complaints against the College for disclosing records in violation of FERPA. Complaints and questions regarding the student’s rights under FERPA may be addressed to the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202.

Subject to the exceptions under number 1 above, information which will not be released without the student’s written consent includes the student’s

• social security number or College-assigned student identification.

• grades, in whatever form these are reported or recorded.

• grade-point average (current or cumulative).

• course schedule.

• attendance record.

• academic history or transcript.

• degree audit.

• academic standing or progress.

Though the College will normally require the written consent of a student in order to release information from that student’s education records, the College may disclose, without a student’s consent, such “directory information” as the student’s

• name, address, telephone number, and College-assigned email address.

• program and enrollment status (full-time or part-time).

• dates of attendance.

• credentials and awards earned.

• participation in recognized organizations and activities.

• most recently attended institution.

The College will periodically notify students about directory information and allow students up to 30 days after notification to request that some or all of that information not be disclosed. Students may request that the College not disclose directory information in writing on a form available in the Registrar’s office.

Further information about the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or its enforcement by the College, may be obtained from the College’s Office of Compliance at pnettleton@beckfield.edu.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

The College encourages and supports student organizations whose activities promote appropriate educational or social objectives. Students who wish to form an organization must first present their proposal to the Director of Student Services. The proposal must include the name and purpose of the organization, the names, titles, and functions of its officers, and the nature and objectives of its planned activities. If approved by the Director of Student Services, the proposal will be submitted for approval by the Campus Director. If the organization is approved, it must be accepted under the voluntary supervision of a faculty or staff advisor, who will approve and monitor each of its activities. Each student organization must submit a quarterly report of its activities, and the outcome of those activities, to the Director of Student Services by a date and in a format determined by the Director.

CAREER SERVICES

The Office of Career Services maintains current employer contact files and works to ensure that each graduate has the best opportunity to acquire suitable career employment. As a result, Beckfield College has consistently been able to assist in placing a great majority of its graduates in careers appropriate to their education. However, the College neither guarantees that a student will be placed in his or her career field nor guarantees a starting salary. General information pertaining to the employment of graduates may be obtained from the Office of Career Services. Students and graduates are expected to cooperate with the Office of Career Services and to take the initiative in pursuing the employment process.

The Office of Career Services also coordinates or hosts a number of career-related seminars. Participation in the seminars is voluntary, but all students are encouraged to attend as many of these sessions as possible. Topics covered include resume preparation, interviewing skills, and networking. The Office of Career Services also schedules career days, campus employer visits, and job fairs. As alumni of the College, graduates have lifetime access to the Office of Career Services.

Students are cautioned that many employers, especially those in certain professions, conduct inquiries into applicants’ backgrounds as part of their employment process and that any criminal activity discovered may disqualify applicants from externship placement and career employment. Enrolling students should discuss their externship placement and potential employability with the Academic Dean of their program.

Graduates of the College’s diploma and associate degree programs in nursing must pass the appropriate National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) in order to be eligible for licensure and employment as nurses.

Graduates of the certificate program in Legal Nurse Consulting or the Legal Nurse Consulting option of the associate degree program in Paralegal Studies must pass the certification examination of the American Legal Nurse Consultant Certification Board in order to hold certification as a Legal Nurse Consultant Certified (LNCC). To be eligible to take the examination, the candidate must have, when applying for the examination,

• current, full and unrestricted licensure as a registered nurse in the United States or its territories.

• at least five years of experience of practice as a registered nurse.

• evidence of at least 2000 hours of legal nurse consulting experience within the previous three years.

Graduates of the certificate program in Addictions Counseling or the Addictions Counseling option of the associate or baccalaureate degree program in Criminal Justice must pass the appropriate licensure or certification examination in order to hold licensure in Ohio or certification in Kentucky.

Reported Placement Rates: The chart below summarizes information reported in the College’s 2011 Campus Accountability Report to its accrediting agency, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. The Report, filed in September 2011, covers the period from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 and is accompanied by verifiable documentation.

“Placement” here refers to employment in the field for which the graduate’s education has prepared him or her, or in a related field which requires substantial application of the skills and knowledge taught in the curriculum. The campus rate below is followed by the rate for each program offered at the campus. If a program had no graduates during the reporting period, placement is reported below as not applicable (NA). Programs in which there were no students enrolled during the period are not included.

The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools does not require institutions to report placement for graduates who are not available for placement due to continuing education, active military duty, visa restrictions, or pregnancy, death, and health-related circumstances.

The placement rate is determined by dividing the number of available graduates placed by the total number of available graduates. Further information pertaining to the employment of graduates may be obtained from the College’s Office of Career Services.

SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

The College complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and recognizes its obligations under state and federal law to students with disabilities. It is the College’s policy to provide reasonable accommodation to an applicant or student who has an identified disability and is otherwise qualified to fulfill the requirements of his or her program. “Otherwise qualified” means that the applicant or student has the ability to meet program requirements despite his or her disability. An applicant or student who requires an accommodation as a result of a disability will be referred to the Director of Student Services, who will work in cooperation with the appropriate academic department(s) of the College in designing a reasonable accommodation. The College cannot assure that any accommodation will be available for an applicant who fails to disclose an identified disability during the enrollment process or fails to provide reliable documentation of that disability.

Except in the case of a visible or otherwise obvious disability, it is the responsibility of the applicant or student to identify himself or herself as an individual with a disability and to provide current medical, psychological, educational, or other professional documentation that describes the nature of the disability, the resulting functional limitations, and the need for special accommodations. Information pertaining to an applicant’s or student’s disability will be shared only among those officials who have an educational interest in that information.

In addressing the needs of a student with an identified disability, the College will

• encourage the student to offer input into the selection and application of special measures.

• provide special measures with due consideration for the student’s feelings, dignity, and privacy.

• strive to minimize the student’s disadvantage, not to give the student an advantage over other students.

• hold the student accountable for meeting course and program objectives, once measures are in place.

Further information about the Americans with Disabilities Act and the College’s practices in addressing the needs of students with disabilities can be obtained from the College’s Office of Compliance at pnettleton@beckfield.edu. Information about the Americans with Disabilities Act may also be obtained at www.ada.gov.

WITHDRAWAL, REFUNDS, AND RETURN OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

A student who wishes to officially withdraw from the College must first contact his or her Academic Dean for advisement as to the process of withdrawal. The student is also required to complete financial aid exit forms provided by the Office of Student Financial Services. Information on tuition refunds for students who withdraw from the College appears below, under REFUND POLICY. Students should complete all necessary withdrawal paperwork in a timely manner.

A student absent from all of his or her classes for a period of 21 consecutive calendar days during which classes or examinations are in session will be regarded as having withdrawn from the College and will receive a grade of W or WF for each course in which he or she is enrolled. The student’s last recorded date of attendance will be used in determining any applicable adjustment to the student’s funding. A student withdrawn for ceasing to attend will not be permitted to re-enroll in any subsequent quarter without discussing academic progress with his or her Academic Dean or designated academic advisor and will be subject to a re-entry fee upon re-enrollment. This policy does not apply to a student during an approved leave of absence.

Students returning to the College after a withdrawal or dismissal will be required to meet the requirements of any program modifications which may have occurred during their absence.

REFUND POLICY

Florence campus: The refund policy applies to all students who withdraw, or are dismissed, from all courses after the beginning of the quarter. All refunds are based on the charges for the particular quarter, not on charges for the program. Refunds will be made within 30 days of the date of determination of a student’s withdrawal or dismissal. The refund policy applies only to tuition. Fees are non-refundable except in the case of written notice of cancellation of enrollment.

Withdrawal Date Tuition Refunded

Week 1 75%

Weeks 2-3 50%

Weeks 4-6 25%

Weeks 7-11 None

Appeals of refund determinations may be addressed in writing to the Corporate Director of Student Financial Services.

Tri-County campus: If the student is not accepted into the program, all monies paid by the student shall be refunded. Refunds of tuition and refundable fees shall be made according to the following provisions:

(1) A student who withdraws before the first class and after the five-day cancellation period shall be obligated for the registration fee.

(2) A student who starts classes and withdraws during the first full calendar week of the quarter shall be obligated for twenty-five percent of the tuition and refundable fees for that quarter plus the registration fee.

(3) A student who withdraws during the second full calendar week of the quarter shall be obligated for fifty percent of the tuition and refundable fees for that quarter plus the registration fee.

(4) A student who withdraws during the third full calendar week of the quarter shall be obligated for seventy-five percent of the tuition and refundable fees for that quarter plus the registration fee.

(5) A student who withdraws during the fourth full calendar week of the quarter and thereafter shall not be entitled to a refund of any portion of the tuition and fees.

The refund policy applies to all students who withdraw, or are dismissed, from all courses after the beginning of the quarter. All refunds are based on the charges for the particular quarter, not on charges for the program. Refunds will be made within 30 days of the date of determination of a student’s withdrawal or dismissal.

Appeals of refund determinations may be addressed in writing to the College’s Corporate Director of Student Financial Services.

RETURN OF FEDERAL TITLE IV STUDENT FUNDS

When a student withdraws from the College, a tuition percentage will be determined based on the return of Title IV funds regulations. The Office of Student Financial Services determines the return of Title IV funds percentage and informs the Registrar. Institutions are required to determine the percentage of Title IV aid “earned” by the student and to return the unearned portion to the appropriate aid program. This percentage is determined by the percentage of the enrollment period completed by the student. In determining the percentage, the College will

• determine the percentage of the enrollment period completed by the student (Days Attended ÷ Days in Enrollment Period = Percentage Completed). If the calculated percentage exceeds 60%, then the student has “earned” all Title IV aid for the enrollment period.

• apply the percentage completed to the Title IV aid awarded to determine the student's eligibility for aid prior to the withdrawal (Total Aid Disbursed x Percentage Completed = Earned Aid).

• determine the amount of unearned aid to be returned to the appropriate Title IV aid program (Total Disbursed Aid – Earned Aid = Unearned Aid to be Returned). If the aid already disbursed equals the earned aid, no further action is required. If the aid already disbursed is less than the earned aid, a late disbursement will be made to the student. If the aid already disbursed is greater than the earned aid, the difference must be returned to the appropriate Title IV aid program.

• distribute the responsibility to return funds between the institution and the student. If the type of aid that the student is responsible for returning is a loan, the student is not required to immediately repay the amount as the grace period for the loan, generally six months, is invoked. The Office of Student Financial Services will determine if any grants must be repaid by the student. Any refund or repayment obligation will be clearly outlined for the student in writing.

• return the Title IV aid, based on the type of aid disbursed, in the following order:

1. FFEL/Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
2. FFEL/Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan
3. FFEL/Direct PLUS (Parent) Loan
4. Federal Pell Grant

Examples regarding the application of the Return of Title IV Funds policy are available in the Office of Student Financial Services.

The return of funds required under this policy is made to the Title IV aid programs within 30 calendar days after the date of determination of withdrawal or dismissal. Students will receive a written notice of any federal funds returned by the College and an invoice for any balance owed to the College.

Applicants and students may obtain information about institutional and Title IV financial assistance programs by contacting the College’s Corporate Director of Student Financial Services at panettleton@beckfield.edu.

FACULTY

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS AND FACULTY

All Beckfield College faculty have been determined to be qualified by their academic and professional credentials to teach the courses assigned to them. Most of the College’s faculty are adjunct (part-time) faculty. Many of these, in addition to their academic qualifications, are currently working, or have worked, in a profession or academic discipline directly related to the courses assigned to them. However, because many adjunct faculty are also employed elsewhere, their employment may limit their availability to the College, and not all may be available to teach in a specific quarter. All faculty are assigned to courses according to their availability and the availability of courses which they are qualified to teach. Questions pertaining to the qualifications of any faculty member should be addressed to the College’s Office of Compliance.

TRANSFER POLICIES AND ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS

Transfer of Credits from Other Institutions

Beckfield College applies two principles in its evaluation of credits earned at other institutions:

1) A student should not be placed under an unnecessary academic or financial burden by having to repeat courses which he or she has substantially and successfully completed at another reputable institution.

2) A student should not be placed in academic or financial risk by placement into courses for which he or she is not academically prepared.

The College evaluates credits for transfer from postsecondary institutions accredited by agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. In evaluating credits for transfer, the College must consider

1) the age of the credits earned.

2) the compatibility of the course with a comparable course in the student’s program.

3) the grade earned in the course, which must be at least a C (at least 70%, or 2.00 on a 4.00 scale).

4) the number of credit hours awarded by each eligible course, a semester credit hour converting as 1.5 quarter credit hours.

5) the number of credit hours eligible for transfer as a proportion of the number of credit hours required by the student’s program (see Residency Requirement, below).

The transfer of technical or program-specific (concentration) courses may be restricted, and applicants or students may be required to qualify by testing in order to transfer certain other courses, as determined by the appropriate academic department.

Evaluation of a collegiate transcript is conducted only after an official transcript has been received directly from the institution at which the courses under consideration were originally earned. Unofficial or hand-delivered transcripts are not evaluated. Only graded courses taken for collegiate credit are evaluated for transfer. Courses ineligible for transfer include audited courses, continuing education courses, pass/fail courses, remedial courses, and courses for which non-evaluative grades were assigned. Transferred credits are applied to the student’s program with a grade of TC (transfer credit), which is not computed in determining the student’s grade-point average. It is the responsibility of the applicant or student to ensure that the College receives all necessary transcripts and course information.

If transfer of a course is denied and the applicant wishes to appeal the denial, he or she will be asked to provide further information about the course. In most cases, this will consist of at least the published course description and/or the course syllabus. All course information submitted must have been in effect when the student completed the course. Appeals must be submitted to the Academic Dean or Director of the department offering the course in question. The Academic Dean or Director will make the final determination and advise the Registrar of that determination.

A student who has attempted a Beckfield College course for credit will no longer be eligible to have that course credited by transfer from another institution.

Once enrolled, a student who wishes to enroll in a course at another institution for the purpose of transferring the course to his or her program at Beckfield College must first have the course approved by the Academic Dean or Director of the Beckfield College department which offers the course. The following conditions apply:

• The student must submit a written request for the course, which must be approved by the appropriate Academic Dean or Director.

• The request must be accompanied by complete course information provided by the other institution.

• The other institution must be appropriately accredited.

• The student must not have attempted the equivalent course at Beckfield College.

• The student must have satisfied all prerequisites to the course, as prescribed by Beckfield College.

• The transfer of the course must not violate the residency requirement.

• The student must not be under academic action (probation, dismissal, or conditional enrollment) when the request is approved, nor when the course is entered into the student’s transcript.

• All other policies pertaining to transfer apply.

Proficiency Credit

Students may have credits applied to their programs through professional certification or training and from such sources as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Crediting of a course through proof of proficiency is indicated in the student’s transcript by a grade of PC (proficiency credit), which is not computed in determining the student’s grade-point average. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the College receives acceptable documentation of proficiency. Students may receive credit for certain courses through examination administered by the College.

A student who has attempted a Beckfield College course for credit will no longer be eligible to have that course credited by proof of proficiency.

Residency Requirement

The number of credits applied to a student’s program through transfer and proof of proficiency may not exceed 50% of the credit hours required by the student’s program, and a student must complete the final quarter (or at least the final 12 credit hours) of his or her program in residence at Beckfield College. Some programs have more restrictive requirements.

The Academic Dean of the College’s Legal Studies department may determine that more than 50% of legal concentration credits earned in another institution’s program are applicable to a student’s Paralegal Studies program at Beckfield College, provided that the institution’s program has been approved by the American Bar Association.

Because the residency requirement applies to individual courses, it does not apply when a full credential earned at another institution is accepted as a component of a degree program offered by the College.

Transfer of Credits to Other Institutions

Beckfield College is a nationally accredited professional college whose mission and objectives are directed to educating students for careers in the professions they have chosen and providing services which assist students and graduates in obtaining careers appropriate to the objectives of their academic programs. The College has no transfer mission and therefore makes no representations or assurances regarding the transfer of its courses to any other institution. Students should never assume that their credits earned at one institution will transfer to another, and no institution can guarantee that its credits will transfer to another institution. Colleges and universities apply their own policies for evaluating and accepting credits, and many regionally accredited institutions do not accept credits from nationally accredited institutions such as Beckfield College. Therefore, applicants who may wish to transfer Beckfield College credits to another institution must contact that institution to inquire about its transfer policies and should do so before signing any enrollment agreement. Questions pertaining to transfer of the College’s credits may be addressed, in writing, to Beckfield College’s Office of Compliance at pnettleton@beckfield.edu.

Articulation

The Florence campus Department of Nursing maintains an articulation agreement with Northern Kentucky University’s School of Nursing and Health Professions whereby graduates of Beckfield College’s associate degree (pre-RN) program in nursing are eligible for admission to the University’s baccalaureate degree (RN to BSN) program. There are specific academic and licensure requirements for admission. Students and graduates interested in pursuing this agreement may obtain further information from the Beckfield College Nursing Department.

The College is also an Education Partner of Colorado Technical University.

ACCREDITATION, LICENSURES, AND APPROVALS

Beckfield College is a senior college accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate degrees, associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates. The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools is listed as a nationally recognized accrediting agency by the United States Department of Education and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

The Florence campus is licensed by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education. The Tri-County campus is licensed by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools (Reg. # 08-05-1857T).

All programs offered by the College have been approved by the appropriate state licensing agency and by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. All have been approved by the U.S. Department of Education for Title IV financial assistance to students.

The Florence campus’ diploma and associate degree programs in nursing have been approved by the Kentucky Board of Nursing. The Tri-County campus’ diploma program in nursing has received conditional approval by the Ohio Board of Nursing.

The Tri-County campus’ diploma and associate degree programs in medical massage therapy have been approved by the State Medical Board of Ohio.

The baccalaureate degree program in Business Administration (BBA) has been approved by the Institute of Certified Professional Managers (ICPM) as an Authorized College Partner to deliver the Certified Manager Program in Kentucky.

The certificate program in Addictions Counseling has been approved by the Kentucky Board of Certification of Alcohol & Drug Counselors and endorsed by the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board.

Students and others may obtain further information and copies of documents pertaining to the College’s accreditation, licensures, and approvals by submitting a written request to the College’s Office of Compliance at pnettleton@beckfield.edu.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE

As an institution which values learning through academic inquiry, Beckfield College must ensure that its students clearly understand the value, process, and use of research, as well as the consequences of misconduct in presenting or otherwise employing the results of that research.

It is a responsibility of faculty who assign research to instruct their students how to accurately represent and attribute ideas and expressions belonging to others, and how to completely and accurately document all resources in which those ideas or expressions are found. Whether quoted, paraphrased, summarized, or otherwise represented, every idea or expression beyond the realm of common knowledge or the student’s own invention must be appropriately attributed, and its source appropriately documented.

Faculty must be competent to detect violations and to enforce appropriate penalties. A violation of the principles of attribution and documentation is plagiarism, and, whether deliberate or accidental, plagiarism is a violation of academic integrity. When deliberate, it is clearly dishonest and should incur significant penalty. Even if accidental, however, it is not thereby excusable by the student’s appeal of ignorance. Faculty must not only respect the scholarship of others but must teach their students to respect it, and must be prepared to protect this scholarship when they find that it has been abused.

Faculty are free to set reasonable penalties for any form of academic dishonesty, whether plagiarism, cheating in completing examinations or other assignments, or unauthorized computer file-sharing, illegal downloading, uploading or distribution of copyrighted materials. In most cases, the minimum academic penalty is a grade of zero in any assignment pertaining to the violation. However, a student found to have violated standards of academic integrity will forfeit any scholarship or other academic award to which he or she may otherwise be (or become) entitled and will be ineligible for honors upon graduation. More than one violation by the same student may result in the student’s disciplinary dismissal from the College.

In cases of unauthorized or illegal use of electronic resources, substantial legal penalties may also apply, as such activities are violations of U.S. copyright laws. Copyright includes the right to reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. Copyright infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner. File sharing and downloading or uploading all or substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority is an infringement of copyright and incurs civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay damages of not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. If the infringement is found to be willful, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. These penalties do not include any additional costs, such as attorneys’ fees, which the court may assess. Willful copyright infringement may also incur criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.

An instructor who discovers a violation is to provide a written report of the violation to the Academic Dean or Director whose course is involved. The report should include at least such details as the date of the incident or discovery, the title of the course involved, the name(s) of the student(s) involved, a description of the violation, any action taken by the instructor, and the instructor’s recommendation for any further action, if any. The report should be accompanied by whatever documentary evidence is pertinent to the violation. After consultation between the instructor and the Academic Dean or Director, the report becomes part of the permanent academic record of the student(s) involved.

In instructing their students in proper attribution and documentation, faculty are free to require the documentation style appropriate to their profession or academic discipline (American Psychological Association, Modern Language Association, Uniform System of Citation, or other).

CAMPUS SECURITY

The primary objective of the College’s security policies and procedures is to promote a partnership among students, faculty, and staff in remaining watchful for threats, and the opportunities for threats, to persons and property. To provide both access and safety, college buildings have more entrances and exits than do most smaller enterprises. When unoccupied, the many classrooms, laboratories, and offices may appear very inviting to a person ready to seize an opportunity. When unattended, personal property may be stolen, even if others are present but preoccupied. For these and other reasons, all members of the Beckfield College community are asked to remain vigilant for their own security and the security of others.

In order to ensure their own security and that of their property, students and employees should

• lock their vehicles and conceal those items left in vehicles which could attract theft.

• refrain from leaving personal items unattended in classrooms before class and during breaks in class.

• refrain from propping open locked exterior doors.

• familiarize themselves with emergency exit routes and evacuation procedures.

• be familiar with and aware of their surroundings while walking to and from class, especially at night.

• comply with requests by College personnel which pertain to security measures.

• report any suspicious activity to the receptionist, who will notify appropriate personnel.

• check their Beckfield College email daily for alerts and announcements.

• follow all published emergency instructions and procedures.

In the event of an injury or a potential or actual criminal act, an incident report must be completed as soon as possible. Forms are available at the reception desk and should be returned there when completed.

Visitors

All visitors who are not current students or employees of the College must register at the reception desk and must enter the name of the person or persons with whom they have business. Children (anyone under the age of 16) must be registered at the reception desk and must be continuously supervised while on College property. Children are not permitted in the library, classrooms, or laboratories, and adult guests are permitted in classrooms or laboratories only with the instructor’s approval. Pets (as opposed to licensed service animals) are not permitted in the buildings. The College’s computers, copiers, and other educational and business equipment are restricted for use only by students, faculty, and staff. No student will be summoned at any visitor’s request except in the case of a genuine emergency requiring the immediate notification of the student. All employees of the College are authorized to refuse access to the facility to any person who does not provide identification and sufficient reason for his or her presence, and anyone who interferes with the academic or business activities of the College will be required to leave the premises.

Questions pertaining to these policies should be addressed to the College’s Office of Compliance at pnettleton@beckfield.edu.

Conduct

Students are expected to treat faculty, staff, and other students with respect and consideration, and to comply with legal statutes and College policies. Disciplinary action will be taken in response to such offenses as

• disruption of classes or College-sponsored activities.

• cheating or complicity in cheating.

• violation of copyright laws, including unauthorized downloading or distribution of copyrighted materials.

• profane, obscene, sexual, disrespectful, vulgar, or insulting language, behavior, or display.

• abuse of campus email privileges, including the use of objectionable language.

• disorderly or obstructive behavior.

• harassment, threats, intimidation, or physical violence.

• sexual harassment or stalking.

• insubordination.

• theft or abuse of property.

• possession or distribution of stolen property.

• unauthorized solicitation.

• unauthorized use of College resources.

• unauthorized occupation of facilities provided for the exclusive use of faculty or staff.

• deliberate damage to College facilities or equipment.

• possession or threatened use of weapons.

• purchase, possession, consumption, or distribution of prohibited substances.

• violation of departmental or institutional policies.

• inducing or attempting to induce others to participate in any of the actions above.

In responding to misconduct, the College administration will normally issue an oral or written warning, but for intolerable, persistent, or unlawful misconduct, the only appropriate outcome may be the student’s immediate dismissal from a course, from his or her program, or from the College. A student dismissed from a course for misconduct will receive an F for that course. A student dismissed from his or her program or from the College for misconduct will receive an F for all courses in which he or she is enrolled when the violation occurs or is discovered. Documentation of the misconduct will become part of the student’s academic file, as will any response the student may wish to have filed on his or her behalf.

Beyond enforcing its own policies against misconduct, the College will report violations of civil or criminal statutes to authorities of the appropriate jurisdiction and may file charges against violators in its behalf.

STUDENT RETENTION RATE

The College’s most recently reported retention rate is 50%. This percentage represents those first-time full-time baccalaureate degree seeking students who enrolled for the first time in the fall of 2008 and returned in the fall of 2009. The Tri-County campus did not enroll its first students until winter quarter of 2009 and therefore did not report retention for the period indicated.

The retention rate is that reported most recently to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Data may be accessed also at the IPEDS website at http://collegenavigator.ed.gov.

GRADUATION RATE

The College’s most recently reported graduation rate is 37%. This percentage represents those full-time first-time students who graduated within 150% of the normal length of their programs.

The most recently reported graduation rates by gender and ethnicity were

• 35% for males and 38% for females.

• 34% for Whites, 100% for Black/African-Americans, and 100% for those of unknown race or ethnicity.

The graduation rates are those reported most recently to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Data may be accessed also the IPEDS website at http://collegenavigator.ed.gov.

The mission and objectives of the College are directed to educating students for careers in the professions they have chosen and providing services which assist students and graduates in obtaining careers appropriate to the objectives of their academic programs. The College has no transfer mission and therefore does not report the percentage of students who transfer to other institutions or graduates who pursue post-graduate education at other institutions.
