COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM


The prefix of a course designated in the program outline for each program of study stands for the type of course. Courses may be
designated with a three digit or four digit numerical code. The first digit indicates the course level. Courses designated with a first digit
of one or two are lower division courses. Courses designated with a first digit of three or four are upper division courses. Some courses
designated with a first digit of three may be required during the latter quarters of an associate degree program. Refer to the Program
Outline for a listing of any required associate degree courses designated with a first digit of three.

CREDIT HOUR
A credit hour is an artificial measurement of the amount of learning that can occur in a program course based on a specified amount of
time spent on class activities and student preparation each week during the program course. The learning that actually occurs may
vary depending on the instructor’s delivery method and style, the student’s background, demonstrated effort and capability, and the size
and composition of the class, notwithstanding the amount of time spent on class activities and student preparation each week during
the program course.

Residence Courses: In all courses, other than those taken through directed independent study, a quarter credit hour represents: (a) at
least 10 clock hours of classroom activities and at least 10 clock hours of outside preparation; (b) at least 20 clock hours of laboratory
activities; or (c) at least 30 clock hours of externship or practicum or clinical component. A clock hour is 50 minutes.

Online Courses: A quarter credit hour represents at least 10 clock hours of distance education instruction taught online over the
Internet and at least 10 clock hours of outside preparation. A clock hour is 50 minutes.

49
CURRICULUM
The school may, at any time in its discretion, (a) vary the offering and/or sequence of courses in any program of study, (b) revise the
curriculum content of any program of study or any course in any program of study, and (c) change the number of credit hours in any
program of study or any course in any program of study. Information on any plans that the school has for improving the curricula can be
obtained from the Dean.

PROGRAMS AND COURSES OFFERED


The school offers only those specific programs of study and courses within those specific programs of study that are expressly
discussed in the Curricula section of this catalog. Other ITT Technical Institutes offer only those specific programs of study and courses
within those specific programs of study that are specified in their respective current catalogs. The school does not make any
representation or promise whatsoever regarding any program of study or course within any program of study that the school or any
other ITT Technical Institute may offer in the future.

All of the courses in every program of study are not offered every academic quarter. New classes in every program of study do not
begin every academic quarter. Course offerings and new classes in programs of study are dependent on a variety of factors, including
student interest and faculty availability, among others. The school will, in its discretion, determine which courses will be offered each
academic quarter and which programs of study will begin new classes each academic quarter. The school does not make any
representation or promise whatsoever that any course will be offered by the school in any academic quarter or that a new class in any
program of study will begin in any academic quarter. As a result, a student may not be able to take all of the courses that he or she
desires to take in any academic quarter or begin a program of study in any academic quarter, which may affect the amount of time it
takes the student to graduate from a particular program of study.

Textbook information for each of the offered courses is available on the ITT Technical Institute website at www.itt-tech.edu/textbooks/.

DIRECTED INDEPENDENT STUDY


A situation may arise that prevents a student from taking a program course in its regular format during a particular quarter. If this
situation occurs, the school may, in its discretion, permit the student to take the program course through directed independent study
(“DIS”). In order to take a program course through DIS, the student must request permission in writing from the Dean to take the
program course through DIS. If the school grants the student permission to take the program course through DIS, the student must
agree in writing to a syllabus that outlines the learning objectives, texts, course requirements, evaluation criteria, meeting dates and
examination dates for that course. A student who takes any program course through DIS will be required to meet with the assigned
faculty member for that course at least once per week during the quarter for at least 50 minutes each meeting to review the student’s
progress in the course and for the student to submit required assignments, make any scheduled presentations and take scheduled
exams. The student should expect to be assigned a significant amount of laboratory activity with respect to any program course taken
through DIS that includes a laboratory component.

A student may not seek permission to take a program course through DIS:
(a) until the student has successfully completed program courses worth at least 36 quarter credit hours at the school or at any other
ITT Technical Institute;
(b) unless the student has an overall cumulative grade point average of at least 2.50 for all of the program courses that the student
has taken at the school;
(c) unless the student is making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study as of the end of the most recent quarter
during which the student was enrolled in that program;
(d) if the student would be on financial aid probation status during the quarter that the student would take the program course through
DIS; or
(e) if the student previously attempted and failed the program course at the school or at any other ITT Technical Institute.

The school may, in its discretion, vary from time to time the program courses available to be taught through DIS. Not all program
courses will be made available by the school to be taught through DIS, including, without limitation, courses with a one hundred level
course number. A student will not be permitted to attempt more than: (a) one program course through DIS during any quarter; (b) four
program courses through DIS in any associate’s degree program of study in which the student is enrolled at the school; or (c) seven
program courses through DIS in any bachelor’s degree program of study in which the student is enrolled at the school.

Textbook information for each of the offered courses is available on the ITT Technical Institute website at www.itt-tech.edu/textbooks/.

HOMEWORK
Each course included in a program of study will entail varying amounts of homework and outside class preparation depending on the
course, faculty member and the student’s progress in the course.

MAXIMUM COURSE LOAD


A student cannot register to take program courses in any quarter that, in total, represent more than 24 credit hours. Any student who
wishes to register to take program courses in any quarter that represent more than 19 credit hours must first consult with and obtain the
permission of the Dean prior to the beginning of that quarter.

PRACTICUM OR CLINICAL COMPONENT


Certain courses within specific programs of study include a practicum or clinical component that must be successfully completed by the
student at one or more facilities that are assigned to the student by the school. The course(s) that include a practicum or clinical
component are identified in the program outline for the particular program of study contained in the Curricula section of this catalog.
Students who are enrolled in a program of study that contains one or more courses that include a practicum or clinical component are
50
required to enter into an agreement with the school that sets forth the terms of the student's practicum or clinical component, identifies
risks associated with that component and releases the school from any liability to the student with respect to that component. Students
may obtain an advance copy of the practicum or clinical agreement from the school's administration.

EXTERNSHIP
The course requirements of certain courses within specific programs of study may be satisfied through externship opportunities that
may be available to a student. Externships are conducted at locations off campus at facilities that are unaffiliated with the school. An
externship must be successfully completed by the student in order for the student to receive credit for the course requirement in the
program of study. The course requirements that may be substituted with an externship opportunity are identified in the program outline
for the particular program of study contained in the Curricula section of this catalog. Students who are enrolled in a program of study in
which one or more courses may be satisfied with externship opportunities are required to enter into an agreement with the school that
sets forth the terms of the student's externship, identifies risks associated with that externship and releases the school from any liability
to the student with respect to that externship. Students may obtain an advance copy of the externship agreement from the school's
administration.

study is canceled by the school, the student may seek readmission to the program of study at the next available date that the program
of study is offered by the school.

Credit for Previous Education or Experience


A student may request credit for courses in the student’s program of study at the school based on the student’s previous postsecondary
education or experience, by submitting a written request to the Registrar.
(1) Previous Postsecondary Education - Following the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s written request, the school may grant the
student credit for course(s) in the student’s program of study based on the student’s previous postsecondary education at a
different institution, if the student satisfies all of the following requirements:
(a) The student provides the school with an official transcript from each educational institution awarding any credits that the
student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific course requirements of the student’s program of study at the
school. If the educational institution is located (I) in the U.S., it must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the
U.S. Department of Education, or (II) outside the U.S., it must be accredited or similarly acknowledged by an agency deemed
acceptable to the school in its discretion.
(b) The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy
specific core course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school is determined, in the school’s discretion, to
be substantially the same as the subject matter of such core course(s). The subject matter of the course(s) represented by
the credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific general education course requirements of the
student’s program of study at the school is determined, in the school’s discretion, to be in the same area of study (i.e., the
humanities, composition, mathematics, the sciences and the social sciences) as the area of study of such general education
course(s). The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to
satisfy any elective course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school is determined, in the school’s
discretion, to represent a level of rigor that is equal to or greater than the rigor of the school’s lower division courses.
(c) The number of credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy the requirements of a specific course in the
student’s program of study at the school must equate, as determined by the school, to at least the same number of quarter
credit hours of that course as specified in the Program Outline for the student’s program of study at the school.
(d) The student completed each course represented by credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific
course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school with at least: (i) a grade of “C” (i.e., 2.0 on a 4.0 scale), if
the credits were earned at a postsecondary educational institution other than an ITT Technical Institute; or (ii) a passing
grade, if the credits were earned at an ITT Technical Institute.

Other institutions of higher education with which the school has established an articulation agreement include the other ITT Technical
Institutes across the country. Many of the same and other limitations and conditions specified above with respect to credit granted by
the school for a student’s previous postsecondary education at a different institution will apply to credit granted by a different institution
for a student’s postsecondary education at the school. As a result, any student considering continuing his or her education at, or
transferring to, any institution other than an ITT Technical Institute must not assume that any credits earned in any course taken at the
school will be accepted by the receiving institution. The student must contact the registrar of the receiving institution to determine what
credits earned at the school, if any, that institution will accept.

(2) Previous Experience - Following the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s written request, the school may grant the student credit
for course(s) in the student’s program of study based on the student’s previous experience, if the student demonstrates, to the
school’s satisfaction, that he or she has sufficiently grasped the knowledge and skills offered by the specific course(s) contained in
the student’s program of study at the school that the student desires credit for previous experience. The student must demonstrate
such knowledge and skills by completing a proficiency examination(s) and/or project(s) acceptable to the school for each such
course and receiving a grade or score thereon as required by the school. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a student may not receive
credit based on the student’s previous experience with respect to any course(s) in the student’s program of study at the school that
the student previously attempted at the school or at any other ITT Technical Institute.

Any student eligible to receive veterans educational benefits while attending any course(s) in an eligible program of study at the school
will be denied veterans educational benefits for any such course(s) that the student previously successfully completed (as determined
in the school’s discretion in accordance with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs regulations) elsewhere. As a result, each student
eligible and desiring to receive veterans educational benefits while attending an eligible program of study at the school must provide the
school with an official transcript for all previous postsecondary education and the student’s military discharge document DD214, prior to
the first scheduled class in the first course that the student is registered to take in the student’s eligible program of study at the school.
The school will determine, in its discretion, whether: (a) the subject matter of any course previously taken by the student is substantially
the same as the subject matter of any course contained in the student’s eligible program of study at the school; and (b) the number of
credits of any course previously taken by the student equate to at least the same number of quarter credit hours of any course having
substantially the same subject matter that is contained in the student’s eligible program of study at the school. If the school determines
that (I) the subject matter of any prior course taken by the student is substantially the same as the subject matter of a course in the
student’s eligible program of study at the school and (II) the number of credits of that prior course equates to at least the same number
of quarter credit hours as the course in the student’s eligible program of study that has substantially the same subject matter, the school
will grant the student credit for such prior course.

52
The total number of credits for courses in the student’s program of study which may be granted to the student by the school based on
the student’s previous postsecondary education or experience as provided above cannot exceed 75% of the quarter credit hours
required to graduate from the program. See the Graduation Requirements section of this catalog for further information.
If the school grants the student credit for any course in the student’s program of study based on the student’s previous postsecondary
education or experience as provided above: (a) the student will receive a grade of “TR” for that course, if credit was granted based on
the student’s previous postsecondary education at a different institution; and (b) the student will receive a grade of “CR” for that course,
if credit was granted based on the student’s previous experience.

CLASS SCHEDULE

(a) Prior to the student’s attendance in any program course in a quarter, the school will notify the student in writing of:

 the program course(s) that the student has been registered by the school to take in that quarter;
 whether the program course will be taught either completely in residence at the school, completely online over the
Internet as a distance education course, or partially in residence and partially online; and
 for residence courses, the meeting days of the class periods in each such program course and the times and instruction
site of those class periods (“Class Schedule”).

The school will notify the student of the location, times and dates associated with the practicum or clinical component of any
program course(s) that the student is registered to take in a quarter prior to the start of that component, and this information
will not be contained on his or her Class Schedule.

(b) The student may modify his or her Class Schedule for any quarter at any time prior to his or her first recorded attendance in
any program course in that quarter, by notifying the school in writing. The student's written notification must specify any
program course(s) that the student wants deleted from and/or added to his or her Class Schedule. Upon receipt of the
student’s written notification, the school will:

 cancel the student’s registration for, and delete from his or her Class Schedule, any program course(s) specified in the
notice;
 register the student for, and add to his or her Class Schedule, any program course(s) specified in the notice, but only if
the school determines that the program course(s) are being taught in that quarter, the student has satisfied any
prerequisites and the class size of the program course(s) can accommodate the student; and
 notify the student in writing of his or her modified Class Schedule.

If the student does not modify his or her Class Schedule for any quarter by notifying the school in writing prior to the student's
first recorded attendance in any program course in that quarter, the student will have accepted and agreed to his or her Class
Schedule and will remain registered for the program course(s) specified in his or her Class Schedule. The student cannot
modify the location, times or dates associated with the practicum or clinical component of any program course(s).

(c) At any time prior to the start of any program course that the student is registered to take in any quarter, the school may:

 change the start date of that quarter;


 assign the student a new Class Schedule for that quarter; and/or
 cancel the program.

(1) If the school changes the start date of a quarter and/or assigns the student a new Class Schedule for a quarter, the
student may modify his or her Class Schedule by notifying the school in writing prior to the student's first recorded
attendance in any program course in that quarter. The student’s written notification must specify any program course(s)
that the student wants deleted from and/or added to his or her Class Schedule. Upon receipt of the student’s written
notification, the school will:

 cancel the student’s registration for, and delete from his or her Class Schedule, any program course(s) specified
in the notice;
 register the student for, and add to his or her Class Schedule, any program course(s) specified in the notice, but
only if the school determines that the program course(s) are being taught in that quarter, the student has
satisfied any prerequisites and the class size of the program course(s) can accommodate the student; and
 notify the student in writing of his or her modified Class Schedule.

If the student does not modify his or her Class Schedule for any quarter by notifying the school in writing prior to his or
her first recorded attendance in any program course in that quarter, the student will have accepted and agreed to the
changed start date of that quarter and/or the student’s new Class Schedule.

(2) If the school cancels the program, the student’s enrollment in the program will have been canceled by the school.

(d) At any time following the start of any program course that the student is registered to take in any quarter, the school may:

 merge the student’s class taking that program course into one or more other classes taking the same program course;

53
 divide the student’s class taking that program course into more than one class taking the same program course;
 change the times and/or meeting days of the student’s class periods in a program course that is taught in residence at
the school;
 change the instruction site of the student’s class periods in a program course that is taught in residence at the school;
and/or
 cancel that program course.

(1) If the school merges the student’s class taking a program course into one or more other classes taking the same
program course and/or divides the student’s class taking a program course into more than one class taking the same
program course, the student's Enrollment Agreement with the school will remain in full force and effect, any affected
terms and provisions of that Enrollment Agreement will be automatically revised to reflect such changes and the student
will not be relieved of any of his or her obligations under that Enrollment Agreement, except as may be otherwise
expressly required by applicable state law.

(2) If the school changes the times and/or meeting days of the student’s class periods in a program course taught in
residence at the school, the student may cancel his or her registration for that program course by delivering written
notice of such cancellation to the school within 10 days of the school’s notice of such change. Upon receipt of the
student’s written notification, the school will:

 cancel the student’s registration for, and delete from his or her Class Schedule, that program course; and
 notify the student in writing of his or her modified Class Schedule.

If the student does not notify the school in writing that he or she is canceling his or her registration for that program
course within 10 days of the school's notification of such change, the student will have accepted and agreed to the
changed times and/or meeting days of his or her class periods in that program course.

(3) If, following the start of a program course taught in residence at the school, the school changes the instruction site of
the student’s class periods in that program course from the instruction site specified on the student's Class Schedule,
the school will:

 provide the student with 30 days prior written notice of that change (or such lesser amount as is reasonably
practicable in the event of an act of God, fire or any circumstance not within the school’s control); and
 request that the student acknowledge that change by executing a written amendment to his or her Enrollment
Agreement with the school that specifies the student's new instruction site for the remainder of that program
course.

Any failure by the student to execute a written amendment to that Enrollment Agreement specifying his or her new
instruction site for that program course will constitute the student’s intent to withdraw from that program course.

(4) If the school cancels any program course that the student is registered to take in any quarter, the school will:

 cancel the student’s registration for, and delete from his or her Class Schedule, that program course; and
 notify the student in writing of his or her modified Class Schedule.

(e) The student understands and acknowledges that his or her Class Schedule with respect to the times, meeting days and/or
instruction site of the class periods in the program course(s) that the student is registered to take are likely to change from one
quarter to the next.

(f) Any class period in a program course taught in residence at the school, or any portion of a practicum or clinical component of
a program course, that is canceled by the school in any quarter due to a holiday or any other reason will be rescheduled by the
school for a different day and time in the same quarter. A canceled class period in such a program course may be
rescheduled by the school for a day and/or time that differ from the student’s regular Class Schedule. A canceled portion of a
practicum or clinical component of such a program course may be rescheduled by the school for a day and/or time that differ
from the day and/or time that were previously scheduled.

Academic Achievement

Grading
Grading is administered to assess the student’s educational progress. Grading is based on the student’s performance in class and level
of achievement on assignments, projects and examinations. The following is a list of possible grades that a student may receive for a
course, the points that each grade will contribute per course credit hour to the student’s grade point average and a brief description of
the grade:

Grade Points Description


A 4.0 Indicates a superior level of achievement.
B+ 3.5 Indicates a good level of achievement.
B 3.0 Indicates a good level of achievement.
C+ 2.5 Indicates an average level of achievement.
C 2.0 Indicates an average level of achievement.
D+ 1.5 Indicates a marginal level of achievement.
D 1.0 Indicates a marginal level of achievement.
F 0.0 Indicates an unsatisfactory level of achievement. Any student earning a grade of
“F” in a course specified in the program outline of his/her program of study
must repeat and successfully complete that course prior to graduation.
I N/A Incomplete - Indicates that the student has not completed all work required for the
course. All work required for the course must be successfully completed within six
weeks following the end of the course or the otherwise earned letter grade is
awarded (normally an “F”). Incompletes may only be awarded upon approval of the
instructor and Dean.
CR N/A Credit - Indicates that the student demonstrated knowledge and skill in the course
through previous experience. “CR” is not considered in computing the grade point
average.
TR N/A Transferred Credit - Indicates the school accepted credit earned for previous
postsecondary education at an institution other than an ITT Technical Institute.
“TR” is not considered in computing the grade point average.
W N/A Withdrawal - Indicates that the student withdrew or was terminated from the
course within the first 75% of that course. “W” is not considered in computing the
grade point average. Withdrawals after the first 75% of the course has been
completed will receive the otherwise earned letter grade (normally an “F”).
P N/A Passing - Indicates a passing grade in a course designated as a pass-fail course.
“P” is not considered in computing the grade point average.
* N/A Indicates that the course was repeated.
(R) N/A Indicates that the course was attempted previously.

A grade earned by a student in a course taken at any other ITT Technical Institute will be accepted by the school and appear on the
student’s academic transcript.

Graduation Requirements
In order to graduate from his or her program of study at the school: (a) a student must attain an overall 2.0 cumulative grade point
average for all of the courses included in the program; (b) a student must either successfully complete all of the course requirements for
the program (as such courses may be revised or modified from time to time in the school’s discretion) within the Maximum Time Frame
for Completion as specified below or receive credit for such courses from the school based on the student’s previous postsecondary
education or experience; (c) at least 25% of the quarter credit hours required to graduate from the program must be earned at this
school; and (d) a student’s administrative record, academic record and account with the school must be up to date and current.

Credential
Upon successfully completing all of the requirements for graduation and satisfying all indebtedness to the school, the school will award
the student the appropriate credential for the student’s program of study as specified in the Curricula section of this catalog. The school
only awards graduates of a specific program of study the credential specified for the student’s program in the Curricula section of this
catalog. Other ITT Technical Institutes only award their graduates of a specific program of study the credential specified for that
program in that ITT Technical Institute’s current catalog. The school does not make any representation or promise whatsoever
regarding any future credential that may be awarded to any graduate of any program of study that the school or any other ITT Technical
Institute may offer.

56
Honors
To accent the importance of academic performance and give recognition to students who achieve a better than average scholastic
record, the school has the following academic achievement recognition levels:
(a) Honors List - Any student who, during a quarter, takes program courses that represent at least eight credit hours and who achieves
an overall grade point average of 3.50 to 3.79 for the program courses taken in that quarter will be placed on the Honors List.
(b) Highest Honors List - Any student who, during a quarter, takes program courses that represent at least eight credit hours and who
achieves an overall grade point average of at least 3.80 for the program courses taken in that quarter will be placed on the Highest
Honors List.
(c) Graduation with Honors - Any student who graduates from his or her program of study at the school with an overall cumulative
grade point average of: (i) 3.50 to 3.79 for all of the courses taken in the program will be designated an Honors Graduate; and (ii)
at least 3.80 for all of the courses taken in the program will be designated a Highest Honors Graduate.

Academic Transcript
An unofficial copy of each student’s transcript is available from the Registrar upon request by the student. This service is subject to the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The school reserves the right to withhold an official academic
transcript if: (a) the student’s financial obligation to the school is in arrears; or (b) the student is in arrears on any federal or state
student loan obligation. The school also reserves the right to limit, in its discretion, the number of official academic transcripts provided
without a processing fee.

Satisfactory Academic Progress


A student must make satisfactory academic progress toward completing his or her program of study. To be making satisfactory
academic progress, a student must satisfy the criteria set forth below in this Satisfactory Academic Progress section. Any student who
is failing to make satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at any Evaluation Point specified below will be notified
by the School of such failure and either be placed on financial aid probation or terminated from that program of study as provided
below.

Evaluation Points
A student will not be making satisfactory academic progress, if at any Evaluation Point specified below:

 the student’s overall cumulative grade point average (“OCGPA”) in his or her program of study is less than the OCGPA
required at that Evaluation Point; or
 the student has not successfully completed the percentage of the total cumulative credit hours he or she has attempted in his
or her program of study (“Credit Completion Percentage”) required at such Evaluation Point:

Completion (“MTFC”)
(as defined below) 2.0 66.67% (3)

*If, at any point in time, more than one Evaluation Point is applicable to a student, the student’s satisfactory academic progress
determination will be based on the applicable Evaluation Point that requires the highest OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage and
the most restrictive note(s).

Notes:
(1) If a student is not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at this Evaluation Point, the student will be
terminated from that program of study, unless:

 the student appeals the school’s determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section);
 the Dean grants the student’s appeal; and
 the student satisfies all of the conditions specified below in the Financial Aid Probation section to be placed on financial
aid probation.

If all of the conditions specified in the sentence immediately above are satisfied, the student will be placed on financial aid
probation during the student’s next academic quarter of attendance in the program.
57
(2) The OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage required at the end of the immediately preceeding academic quarter.

(3) If a student is not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at this Evaluation Point, the student will be
terminated from that program of study at the school.

The calculation of the student’s OCGPA in his or her program of study will include the points associated with the grade earned by the
student with respect to each course that the student took at the school and/or at any other ITT Technical Institute when the student: (a)
was enrolled in that program of study; and (b) was enrolled in a different program of study, if (i) the subject matter of that course is
substantially the same as any course in his or her current program of study or (ii) that course counts toward or satisfies any of the
coursework requirements of his or her current program of study (whether core, general education, general studies, technical basic,
elective or otherwise).

Maximum Time Frame for Completion


The student’s Maximum Time Frame for Completion (“MTFC”) for his or her program of study is 150% of the credit hours designated in
the Program Outline for such program of study (as such credit hours may be revised or modified from time to time by the school in its
discretion), rounded down to the nearest whole credit hour. For example, if a program of study consists of 90 credit hours, the student’s
MTFC is 135 credit hours (150% of 90). Each credit hour in a program of study that is “attempted” (as defined below) by a student is
counted toward the student’s MTFC of that program of study each and every time the credit hour is attempted by the student. A credit
hour is “attempted,” if the student receives any of the following grades from the school and/or from any other ITT Technical Institute for
the course represented by the credit hour: “A,” “B+,” “B,” “C+,” “C,” “D+,” “D,” “F,” “I,” “W,” “P,” “CR” or “TR”. For example, if a student
takes Course X, consisting of 4.5 credit hours, and receives a grade of “W” and the student retakes Course X and earns a grade of “B,”
the student will have attempted 9 credit hours with respect to Course X. A student may not exceed his or her MTFC for the student’s
program of study. The student’s MTFC for his or her program of study will include the credit hours attempted with respect to each
course that the student took at the school and/or at any other ITT Technical Institute when the student:
(a) was enrolled in that program of study; and
(b) was enrolled in a different program of study, if
(i) the subject matter of that course is substantially the same as any course in his or her current program of study or
(ii) that course counts toward or satisfies any of the coursework requirements of his or her current program of study (whether
core, general education, general studies, technical basic, elective or otherwise).

A student will not be making satisfactory academic progress and will be terminated from his or her program of study if, at any time, the
school determines that the student is unable to graduate from his or her program of study without exceeding the student’s MTFC for
that program of study.

Academic Year
An academic year is three academic quarters in length. Any academic quarter that the student attended in any program of study at the
school or any other ITT Technical Institute during which the student attempted any course that is included in, counts toward or satisfies
any of the coursework requirements of the student’s current program of study (whether a core, general education, general studies,
technical basic, elective or any other type of course), will be counted for purposes of determining the student’s applicable academic
year and/or academic quarter under the Evaluation Points section.

Credit Completion Percentage


The Credit Completion Percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours that the student has successfully completed
in his or her program of study (including, without limitation, the credit hours associated with any course for which the student receives a
grade of “CR” or “TR”) by the total number of credit hours that the student has attempted in his or her program of study. The calculation
of the student’s Credit Completion Percentage in his or her program of study will include the number of credit hours attempted by the
student with respect to each course that the student took at the school and/or at any other ITT Technical Institute when the student:
(a) was enrolled in that program of study; and
(b) was enrolled in a different program of study, if
(i) the subject matter of that course is substantially the same as any course in his or her current program of study or
(ii) that course counts toward or satisfies any of the coursework requirements of his or her current program of study (whether
core, general education, general studies, technical basic, elective or otherwise).

Student Status
A student who, in any academic quarter, takes courses in his or her program of study that represent:

 12 or more credits is a full-time student;


 9 to 11 credits is a three-quarter-time student;
 6 to 8 credits is a half-time student; or
 less than 6 credits is a less than half-time student.

If the total number of quarter credit hours of the courses which comprise a program of study offered by the school exceeds 72, the
school has determined that the program of study cannot normally be completed in two academic years of full-time study, based on a
full-time student taking a course load representing 12 or 13.5 quarter credit hours at the school each academic quarter. A student’s
grade level is based on the total number of quarter credit hours of the courses in the student’s program of study at the school that the
student has successfully completed, as follows:

58
Total Number of Quarter Credit Hours of
Courses Successfully Completed in the
Grade Level Student’s Program of Study
First 0-36
Second 37-72
Third 73-108
Fourth 109-144
Fifth 145-180
Sixth 181-216

The amount of federal and state student financial aid that a student may qualify to receive may depend on the student’s grade level and
could be adversely affected if the student is anything other than a full-time student. Any student who is not a full-time student should
contact the school’s Finance Department for more information.

Financial Aid Probation


During any academic quarter that a student is on financial aid probation, the Dean may require the student to repeat some or all of the
courses that the student previously received a grade of “D+,” “D,” “F” or “W” before the student can attempt any other courses in the
student’s program of study. At the end of the academic quarter of the student’s financial aid probation, the student’s OCGPA and Credit
Completion Percentage will be recalculated to determine if the student is making satisfactory academic progress in the program of
study based on the OCGPA and Credit Completion Percentage required at the end of the immediately preceeding academic quarter.

A student will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the academic quarter of the student’s financial aid
probation. All of the credit hours represented by the courses that the student repeats during the academic quarter of the student’s
financial aid probation will have been attempted by the student in determining the student’s Credit Completion Percentage, and all of
the grades (and associated points) earned by the student in those courses will replace the previous grades (and associated points)
earned in determining the student’s OCGPA. All grades earned for any courses the student attempts will, however, remain on the
student’s transcript.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Evaluation Points section, a student will not be placed on financial aid probation:

 if the school determines that the student will be unable to make satisfactory academic progress in the student’s program of
study at the end of the academic quarter of the student’s financial aid probation;
 more than three times during any specific program of study in which the student is or was enrolled at the school or at any other
ITT Technical Institute; or
 if the student was on financial aid probation during the immediately preceeding academic quarter that the student was enrolled
in that program of study at the school or at any other ITT Technical Institute.

Incompletes and Repeats


If the student receives a grade of “A,” “B+,” “B,” “C+,” “C,” “D+,” “D,” “P,” “CR” or “TR” with respect to any course, the student will have
successfully completed that particular course. If the student is enrolled and recieves a grade of “A,” “B+,” “B,” “C+,” “C,” “P,” “CR” or
“TR” with respect to any course in that program of study, the student will have successfully completed that particular course. If the
student receives an “I” grade and does not successfully complete the required work to remove the “I” grade from his or her record within
six weeks following the end of the academic quarter in which the “I” grade was received, the student will receive the otherwise earned
letter grade (normally an “F”). Any student earning a grade of “F” in any course included in his or her program of study must repeat and
successfully complete that course prior to: (a) taking any course with respect to which the failed course is a prerequisite; and (b)
graduation. Any student who successfully completes a course may request in writing for permission from the school to repeat that
course. If a course is repeated, the grade earned for repeating the course will replace the previous grade earned in determining the
student’s OCGPA in the student’s program of study and whether the student has successfully completed the course. All grades earned
for all courses the student attempts will, however, remain on the student’s transcript.

Readmission
A student who withdraws or is terminated from a program of study at the school may not seek readmission into any program of study,
whether the same or a different program, before the next academic quarter that the course(s) the student would take upon readmission
into the program of study is(are) offered by the school.
All readmission determinations will be made by the school in its discretion and will be final and binding on the student. The school is not
obligated to readmit any student. As part of the school’s determination to readmit any student, the school will consider whether the
student was making satisfactory academic progress at the last Evaluation Point that the student was enrolled in a program of study at
the school. If the student was not making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study as of that Evaluation Point, the
student will not be readmitted into the same program of study, unless:

 the student appeals the school’s determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section);
 the Dean grants the student’s appeal; and
 the student satisfies all of the conditions specified above in the Financial Aid Probation section to be placed on financial aid
probation.

If all of the conditions specified in the sentence immediately above are satisfied, the student will be placed on financial aid probation
during the student’s next academic quarter of attendance in that program of study at the school. In no event will any student be
readmitted to the same program of study at the school, if the student:

59
 for any reason withdrew or was terminated from that program of study at the school during an academic quarter when the
student was on financial aid probation;
 is unable to make satisfactory academic progress in that program of study, as determined by the school; or
 does not possess the motivation, desire or academic ability to satisfactorily progress academically through and graduate from
that program of study, as determined by the school.

If the school decides to readmit the student, the student must agree in writing to the terms for readmission and execute a new
Enrollment Agreement with the school and pay all then current tuition, fees and any other costs associated with the student’s program
of study.

Prior Attendance at a Different ITT Technical Institute


If the student withdrew or was terminated from a program of study at any other ITT Technical Institute prior to the student’s admission
to the same program of study at the school, the school will consider whether the student was making satisfactory academic progress at
the last Evaluation Point that the student was enrolled in that program of study at the other ITT Technical Institute. If the student was
not making satisfactory academic progress in that program of study as of that Evaluation Point, the student will not be admitted into the
same program of study at the school, unless:

 the student appeals the school’s determination in writing to the Dean (as provided below in the Appeal section);
 the Dean grants the student’s appeal; and
 the student satisfies all of the conditions specified above in the Financial Aid Probation section to be placed on financial aid
probation.

If all of the conditions specified in the sentence immediately above are satisfied, the student will be placed on financial aid probation
during the student’s first academic quarter of attendance in that program of study at the school. In no event will any student who
withdrew or was terminated from a program of study at any other ITT Technical Institute be admitted to the same program of study at
the school, if the student:

 for any reason withdrew or was terminated from that program of study at the other ITT Technical Institute during an academic
quarter when the student was on financial aid probation;
 is unable to make satisfactory academic progress in that program of study, as determined by the school; or
 does not possess the motivation, desire or academic ability to satisfactorily progress academically through and graduate from
that program of study, as determined by the school.

Reestablishing Financial Aid


A student must be making satisfactory academic progress to be eligible to receive any federal, state or other student financial aid to
attend any course(s) in his or her program of study at the school. If a student loses his or her eligibility to receive financial aid for failure
to make satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study, the student cannot reestablish his or her eligibility to receive
financial aid to attend any course(s) at the school, unless the student enrolls in a different program of study at the school and the school
determines that the student is making satisfactory academic progress in that different program of study.

Non-Credit Courses
Non-credit courses, which are taken on a pass-fail basis, do not affect a student's grade point average. Nevertheless, the student must
repeat and successfully complete any failed non-credit courses prior to the student graduating from his or her program of study at the
school.

Appeal
If the school determines that a student is failing to make satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study at the school, the
student may appeal the school’s determination in writing to the Dean. The student’s written appeal must explain in detail the special
circumstances that caused the student not to make satisfactory academic progress (such as the student suffering an illness or injury,
the death of a relative of the student or other special circumstances) and what has changed in the student’s situation that will allow the
student to be making satisfactory academic progress at the end of the student’s next quarter of attendance in that program of study.
The Dean will review the student’s written appeal to determine whether, based on the student’s special circumstances and the
information submitted by the student in his or her written appeal, the student can remain enrolled in (or be readmitted into) that same
program of study at the school despite the student’s failure to conform to the requirements of this Satisfactory Academic Progress
section. The determination of the student’s written appeal will be:

 made by the Dean (in his or her discretion and in conformity with this Satisfactory Academic Progress section);
 communicated in writing to the student; and
 final and binding on the student.

If the Dean grants the student’s appeal and all of the conditions specified above in the Financial Aid Probation section are satisfied, the
student will, at the school’s discretion, be placed on financial aid probation during the student’s next academic quarter of attendance in
that program of study. The school will not develop or consider any academic plan for a student.

Attendance Requirements
Each student is required to regularly attend each course that the student is registered to take in the program in which the student is
enrolled. For residence courses, attendance means (a) physical participation in the class meetings and other activiites of the course;
and (b) other positive academic participation by the student, as approved by the school, such as attending a class meeting in a different
class section of the same course or completing and submitting coursework. For online courses, attendance means participating in
60
class communications and activities of the course electronically over the Internet in the manner and in accodrance with the directions
specified by the school. Students attending online courses are required to follow the protocols speciified by the school to record the
students attendance in the class communications and activities that are part of the course. Any failure by a student attending an online
course to follow the protocols specified by the school to record the student’s attendance in a class communication or actiivity that is part
of the course may, as deteremined by the school, result in the school identifying the student as absent from or a non-participant in the
class communication or other activity of the course.

As required by federal law, each student must annually participate in the programs presented by the school that address the following
subjects: (a) promoting the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape and other forcible and nonforcible sex offenses (20 U.S.C. 1099c);
(b) preventing the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students (20 U.S.C. 1145g); and (c) any other subject that the federal
government may, from time to time, require the school to present to its students. If a student fails to participate in any of the above
programs and execute any documentation confirming his or her participation that the school may require, the school may, in its
discretion, suspend and/or terminate the student from his or her program of study at the school.

Make-Up Work
A student may, at the school’s discretion, make up coursework missed due to the student’s absences from class meetings and other
activities that are part of a course that the student is registered to take or the program in which the student is enrolled. If the school
allows the student to make up any coursework missed due to absences from the scheduled class meetings and other activities that are
part of a course that the student is registered to take or a program in which the student is enrolled, the school will determine, in its
discretion, whether the student’s make-up work is satisfactory, and any decision by the school with respect thereto will be final and
binding on the student.

Leave of Absence
A student may be granted a leave of absence only to accommodate the student’s: (a) two-week military service obligation; and (b) jury
duty in excess of one week, but not to exceed two weeks. Only one leave of absence (not to exceed 10 days) will be granted in a 12
month period. Any student who requests a leave of absence must submit in advance to the school Director a written request, supported
by third party documentation that is acceptable to the school Director. The student’s written request must be dated and signed by the
student and must specify the dates of the requested leave of absence and the reason for the leave. The determination of whether to
grant the student’s requested leave of absence will be made in the school’s discretion and will be final and binding on the student. The
student is responsible for contacting the appropriate faculty member(s) to arrange to make up the coursework missed by the student as
a result of any granted leave of absence.

Program Changes
Any student who desires to change his or her enrollment in a program of study at the school to a different program of study at the
school must request the change in writing to, and obtain the prior permission of, the Dean. All determinations with respect to any
request by a student to change his or her enrollment in a program of study at the school will be made by the school in its discretion and
will be final and binding on the student.

Withdrawals
If a student wishes to withdraw from any program course(s) that the student is registered to take at the school or the student’s entire
program of study at the school, the student must notify the Dean or Chair in writing prior to the date of withdrawal. The writing must
specify the date that the student will withdraw from the course(s) or program of study and the reason for the withdrawal. Prior to the
student’s withdrawal date from his or her program of study, the student must also have an exit interview with the Academic Affairs
Department and the Finance Department. If, during any quarter that a student is enrolled in a program of study at the school, the
student fails to attend for a period of 22 consecutive calendar days any component, whether a classroom, laboratory, practicum, and/or
clinical component, of a program course that the student is registered to take during that quarter, the student will have withdrawn from
that program course at the school. Any student who withdraws from a program course may not re-enter that same course and may not
re-take that course until the next time that the course is offered by the school. A student who withdraws from his or her program of
study may be considered for readmission only in accordance with the Readmission section of this catalog.

Advising
The student must receive academic, attendance and/or financial aid advising from the school, as the school deems necessary in its
discretion.

Transfer of Credit
Credits earned in any course taken at the school will be accepted for transfer by any other ITT Technical Institute located
outside of Maryland toward the credits required in the same course, if that course is offered by the other ITT Technical
Institute. Any ITT Technical Institute located in Maryland will accept for transfer toward the credits required in the same
course any credits earned in any (a) 100- or 200-level course at any other ITT Technical Institute that is only authorized to
award associate degrees, and (b) course at any other ITT Technical Institute that is authorized to award bachelor degrees.

DECISIONS CONCERNING THE ACCEPTANCE OF CREDITS EARNED IN ANY COURSE TAKEN AT THE SCHOOL ARE MADE
AT THE DISCRETION OF THE RECEIVING INSTITUTION. THE SCHOOL MAKES NO REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER
CONCERNING THE TRANSFERABILITY OF ANY CREDITS EARNED AT THE SCHOOL TO ANY INSTITUTION OTHER THAN AN
ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE AS SPECIFIED ABOVE. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY CREDITS EARNED AT AN ITT TECHNICAL
INSTITUTE WILL BE TRANSFERABLE TO OR ACCEPTED BY ANY INSTITUTION OTHER THAN AN ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.

ANY STUDENT CONSIDERING CONTINUING HIS OR HER EDUCATION AT, OR TRANSFERRING TO, ANY INSTITUTION OTHER
THAN AN ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE MUST NOT ASSUME THAT ANY CREDITS EARNED IN ANY COURSE TAKEN AT THE
SCHOOL WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE RECEIVING INSTITUTION. AN INSTITUTION’S ACCREDITATION DOES NOT

61
GUARANTEE THAT CREDITS EARNED AT THAT INSTITUTION WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR TRANSFER BY ANY OTHER
INSTITUTION. THE STUDENT MUST CONTACT THE REGISTRAR OF THE RECEIVING INSTITUTION TO DETERMINE WHAT
CREDITS EARNED AT THE SCHOOL, IF ANY, THAT INSTITUTION WILL ACCEPT.

Conduct
Each student must conduct himself or herself in accordance with the school’s rules, regulations, policies and procedures as stated in
this catalog, in the student’s Enrollment Agreement and Student Handbook.

Any student who engages on or off the school’s premises in any of the following types of misconduct will be subject to discipline by the
school, which may include, without limitation, the suspension and/or termination from one or more courses the student is taking or the
student’s entire program of study at the school and the referral to the proper authorities. Any student who, prior to his or her enrollment
at the school, has engaged in any of the following types of misconduct may be subject to discipline by the school, which may include,

Any student who is terminated from his or her program of study at the school for violating this Conduct section may petition the school
Director, in writing, for readmission into a program of study, but not before the next quarter that the course(s) that the student would
take upon reentry into the program of study is (are) offered by the school. The determination of whether to readmit the student will be
based on the student’s written petition, will be made by the school and will be final and binding on the student.

Anti-Harassment
It continues to be the policy of ITT Technical Institute that sexual harassment of students or applicants for admission in any form is
unacceptable conduct which will not be tolerated. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances or propositions,
62
requests for sexual favors, verbal abuse of a sexual nature, subtle pressure or request for sexual activities, unnecessary touching of an
individual, graphic verbal commentaries about an individual’s body, sexually degrading words used to describe an individual, a display
in the school of sexually suggestive objects or pictures, sexually explicit or offensive jokes, physical assault and other verbal, visual or
physical conduct of a sexual nature. No student, applicant, faculty member or other employee of ITT Technical Institute shall threaten or
insinuate, either explicitly or implicitly, that a student’s or applicant’s refusal to submit to sexual advances will adversely affect that
person’s admission, enrollment, grades, studies or educational experience at ITT Technical Institute. Similarly, no faculty member or
other employee of ITT Technical Institute shall promise, imply or grant any preferential treatment in connection with any student or
applicant with the intent of rewarding for or engaging in sexual conduct.

Other types of harassment that will not be tolerated include any unwanted or unwelcome words, gestures or actions of a persistent or
offensive nature involving any person’s race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other
protected status. Harassment of this nature also includes any conduct, whether verbal, visual or physical, relating to or involving a
person’s race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status that is
sufficiently pervasive or severe to: (I) unreasonably interfere with a student’s education at the school or a student’s admission to a
program offered by the school; or (II) create an intimidating, hostile or offensive learning environment for students.

Any student or applicant who feels that he or she is a victim of prohibited harassment (including, but not limited to, any of the conduct
listed above) by any student, applicant, faculty member or other ITT Technical Institute employee, or visitor or invitee of the school in
connection with the educational experience offered by ITT Technical Institute should, as described in the Student Complaint/Grievance
Procedure section, bring the matter to the immediate attention of the school Director, at the telephone number specified in this catalog.
A student or applicant who is uncomfortable for any reason in bringing such a matter to the attention of the school Director, or who is
not satisfied after bringing the matter to the attention of the school Director, should report the matter to the Senior Vice President, Chief
Compliance Officer, ITT/ESI, telephone (800) 388-3368. Any questions about this policy or potential prohibited harassment should also
be brought to the attention of the same persons.

ITT Technical Institute will promptly investigate all allegations of prohibited harassment in as confidential a manner as the school deems
reasonably possible and take appropriate corrective action, if warranted.

Disabled Applicants and Students


The school is committed to compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its regulations. The school does not
discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. The school
Director is designated the school’s Student Disability Coordinator and coordinates Section 504 compliance. Applicants or students with
a disability may request an accommodation by contacting the school Director.

Health, Security and Safety


The school strives to provide its students with a secure and safe environment. Classrooms and laboratories comply with the
requirements of the various federal, state and local building codes, and the Board of Health and Fire Marshal regulations. Students are
responsible for their own security and safety both on-campus and off-campus, and each student must be considerate of the security
and safety of others. THE SCHOOL HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER FOR ANY STUDENT’S
PERSONAL BELONGINGS THAT ARE LOST, STOLEN OR DAMAGED, WHETHER ON OR OFF SCHOOL PREMISES OR
DURING ANY SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. THE SCHOOL HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER WITH
RESPECT TO ANY ALTERCATIONS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN STUDENTS, WHETHER ON OR OFF THE SCHOOL’S PREMISES
OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURIES ARISING THEREFROM. Students should immediately report any medical, criminal or other
emergency occurring on the school premises to the school Director or Dean (or any other school employee if such officials are not
available). Upon receipt of any report of a medical or criminal emergency, the school will, on behalf of the student, obtain the services of
medical or security professionals, as required. Following a criminal emergency, the school may require the reporting student to confirm
in writing the details of the criminal emergency reported. Students are encouraged to promptly and accurately report all crimes that
occur on school premises or during any school activities to school officials and the appropriate police agencies. The school compiles
and issues on an annual basis an ITT Technical Institute Security Policies and Crime Statistics Report. This report discloses information
about this school’s campus security policies and procedures, and statistics concerning the number of certain crimes that may have
taken place on campus. Students may obtain a copy of the report from the school Director.

Disclaimer of Warranties
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE STUDENT’S ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT OR THIS CATALOG, THERE ARE NO
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING OR RELATING TO ANY
SERVICE OR PRODUCT FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL TO THE STUDENT PURSUANT TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
STUDENT’S ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT OR THIS CATALOG. THE SCHOOL SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL THE STUDENT OR THE SCHOOL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM
OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) OR EVEN IF THE LIABLE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL THE SCHOOL’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO THE STUDENT FOR ALL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE STUDENT’S ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY
AMENDMENTS OR ADDENDA THERETO) OR THIS CATALOG OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF EXCEED THE LESSER
OF: (A) THE ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE STUDENT THAT WERE CAUSED BY THE SPECIFIC SERVICE OR
PRODUCT PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL UNDER THE STUDENT’S ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF
THE STUDENT’S COMPLAINT; OR (B) THE AMOUNT OF TUITION, FEES AND/OR COST OF ANY TOOLS RECEIVED BY THE
SCHOOL FROM OR ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENT FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE OR PRODUCT PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL
63
UNDER THE STUDENT’S ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT THAT DIRECTLY CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE. Notwithstanding anything
above to the contrary in this Limitation of Liability section, if any limitation of liability conflicts with the substantive law
governing the student’s Enrollment Agreement or this catalog, the substantive law with respect to such limitation will control.

The provisions of the student’s Enrollment Agreement and this catalog allocate risks between the student and the school. The
amount of tuition and fees and the cost of any tools purchased by the student from the school that the student was required
to obtain for the program of study reflect this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability.

Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure


Statement of Intent: To afford full consideration to student complaints concerning any aspect of the programs, facilities or other services
offered by or associated with ITT Technical Institute. This complaint procedure is intended to provide a formal framework within which
such complaints may be resolved. This procedure is not, however, a substitute for other available informal means of resolving
complaints or other problems. Students are encouraged to communicate their concerns fully and frankly to members of the school
faculty and administration. Reasonable measures will be undertaken to preserve the confidentiality of information that is reported during
the investigation and to protect persons who report information from retaliation.

Procedure
All student complaints will be handled in the following manner:

Step One - Contact School Director


1. A student must present to the school Director (ITT Technical Institute, 3100 Cottage Hill Road, Building 3, Mobile, Alabama 36606
telephone (251) 472-4760) any complaint relating to any: (a) aspect of the programs, facilities or other services provided by the school;
(b) action or alleged misrepresentation by an employee or representative of the school; (c) discrimination or harassment based on race,
religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status by any student, applicant,
faculty member or other school employee, or visitor or invitee of the school; and (d) school activity. The complaint may be oral or
written. The school Director will promptly acknowledge receipt of the complaint.
2. The school Director will meet with the student to discuss and respond to the complaint. The school Director’s response may be oral
or written and will address the specific complaint and indicate what, if any, corrective action has been proposed or accomplished.
3. Within three (3) school days of any such discussion, the school Director will prepare a written summary of the discussion, including
any agreed upon or proposed solution of the student’s complaint. The school Director will take the necessary steps to ensure that any
agreed upon solution or other appropriate action is taken.

Step Two - Appeal to ITT Educational Services, Inc. (“ITT/ESI”)


1. If a complaint is not resolved to the student’s satisfaction, the student will, as soon as possible after the student’s discussion with the
school Director, submit the complaint on a Student Complaint Summary form to the Student Relations Specialist, ITT/ESI, 13000 N.
Meridian Street, Carmel, Indiana 46032-1404, telephone (800) 388-3368.
2. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the student’s written letter of complaint, the Student Relations Specialist, ITT/ESI, or designee
will reply to the student in writing, specifying what action, if any, ITT/ESI will undertake.

Step Three - Contact the State


If the complaint has not been resolved by ITT/ESI to the satisfaction of the student, the complaint may be referred to the Alabama
Department of Postsecondary Education, P.O. Box 302130, Montgomery, AL 36130-2130, phone (334) 293-4500. The student may
also file a complaint with the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, Consumer Affairs Section, located at 501 Washington Avenue,
Montgomery, AL 36130-0152, phone (334) 242-7335 or (800) 392-5658, fax (334) 242-2433.

Step Four - Contact the Accrediting Council


If the complaint has not been resolved by ITT/ESI to the satisfaction of the student, the complaint may also be referred to the
Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, 750 First Street, NE, Suite 980, Washington, DC 20002-4241, telephone
(202) 336-6780.

Resolution of Disputes
The following procedure shall apply to the resolution of any dispute arising out of or in any way related to a student’s
Enrollment Agreement with the school, any amendments or addenda thereto, or the subject matter thereof, including, without
limitation, any statutory, tort, contract or equity claim (individually and collectively, the “Dispute”):
(a) The parties are encouraged to make an initial attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Dispute pursuant to the school’s
Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure or through other informal means.
(b) If the Dispute is not resolved pursuant to the school’s Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure or through other informal
means, then the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration between the parties. Arbitration is the referral of a dispute
to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. Both the student and the school agree that the
Enrollment Agreement involves interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Resolution of Disputes section will
be governed, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-9 (the “FAA”).

The arbitration between the student and the school will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
or, in the event the AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, by an arbitration forum or arbitrator that the
student and the school mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, the student and the school are unable to
agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or
arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial
Rules”) and, when deemed appropriate by the arbitration forum or arbitrator, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer-Related Disputes (“Consumer Procedures”), or the appropriate rules of any alternative arbitration forum
selected by the student and the school or appointed by a court, subject to the following modifications:

64
(1) The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator (without a jury) who will be a former federal or state
court judge and will have at least 10 years of experience in the resolution of civil disputes.
(2) The site of the arbitration will be the city in which the school is located.
(3) The substantive law which will govern the interpretation of a student’s Enrollment Agreement and the resolution
of the Dispute will be the law of the state where the school is located, except that the enforceability of this
Resolution of Disputes section will be governed, both procedurally and substantively, by the FAA.
(4) The scope of the arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between the student and the school. In the arbitration
between the student and the school:
 no claims of any other person will be consolidated into the arbitration or otherwise arbitrated together with
any claims of Student;
 no claims will be made on behalf of any class of persons;
 no representative actions of any kind are permitted, including, without limitation, class actions and class
arbitrations; and
 the arbitrator may not preside over any representative action.
(5) The parties may take discovery through interrogatories, depositions and requests for production that the
arbitrator determines to be appropriate to allow for a fair hearing, taking into consideration the claims involved
and the expedited nature of arbitration.
(6) The school will pay the amount of any arbitration costs and fees charged to the student under the Commercial
Rules or Consumer Procedures that exceed the costs and fees that the student would incur if the student filed a
similar action in a court having proper jurisdiction.
(7) In any of the following arbitration-related proceedings, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys’ fees:
 any motion which any party is required to make in the courts to compel arbitration of a Dispute; or
 any challenge to the arbitration award, whether to the arbitrator or the courts, for the purpose of vacating,
modifying or correcting the award.
(8) All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly
confidential. The parties will have the right to seek relief in the appropriate court to prevent any actual or
threatened breach of this provision.
(9) If any provision of this Resolution of Disputes section or its application is invalid or unenforceable, that
provision will be severed from the remainder of this section and the remainder of this section will be binding and
enforceable.

The Commercial Rules, Consumer Procedures and other information regarding the AAA’s arbitration procedures are available
from the AAA, which can be contacted by mail at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10019, by telephone at (800)
778-7879 or through its Web site at www.adr.org.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended

Statement of Compliance
1. General Policy
Under the authority of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), a student has the right to examine
certain records concerning the student which are maintained by the school. The school must permit the student to examine such
records within 45 days after the school receives a written request from the student. The school will also permit the student to obtain a
copy of such records upon payment of a reproduction fee. A student may request that the school amend his or her education records
on the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the student’s right of privacy. In the event the school refuses to so
amend the records, the student may, after complying with the Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure, request a hearing. If the
outcome of a hearing is unsatisfactory to the student, the student may submit an explanatory statement for inclusion in his or her
education record. A student has the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education,
400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605, concerning the school’s alleged failure to comply with the Act.
2. Education Records
Education records are records maintained by the school which contain information directly related to the student. Examples of
education records are the student’s education, career services and financial aid files. The only persons allowed access to such records
are those who have a legitimate administrative or educational interest.
3. Exemptions
The following records are exempt from the Act:
(a) Financial records of the student’s parents.
(b) Confidential letters and recommendations relating to admission, employment or honors to which the student has waived his or her
right to inspect.
(c) Records about students made by faculty or administrators which are maintained by, and accessible only to, the faculty and
administration.

65
4. Review of Records
It is the policy of the school to monitor educational records to insure that they do not contain information which is inaccurate, misleading
or otherwise inappropriate. The school may destroy records which it determines, in its discretion, are no longer useful or pertinent to the
student’s circumstances.
5. Directory Information
Directory Information (as defined below) is that information which may be unconditionally released without the student’s consent, unless
the student specifically requests in writing that such information not be released. The school requires that such request must (I) specify
what categories of Directory Information are to be withheld by the student and (II) be delivered to the school Director within 15 days
after the student starts class. Any such request must be renewed annually by the student. “Directory Information” means information
contained in a student’s education record which would generally not be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
Directory Information includes, but is not limited to, the student’s name; address(es); telephone number(s); electronic mail address(es);
photograph; grade level; enrollment status (e.g., full-time or part-time); date and place of birth; program of study; extracurricular
activities; credentials, awards and recognition (i.e., honors) received; last school attended; dates of attendance (i.e., enrollment
period(s), not daily attendance record); and student or user ID number (other than a social security number), but only if the identifier
cannot be used to gain access to education records except when used in conjunction with one or more factors that authenticate the
user’s identity which are known or possessed only by the authorized user.
6. Access Without Student Consent
The school may release a student’s education records without written consent of the student to:
(a) Other school officials who have a legitimate educational interest.
(b) Other schools where the student has applied for admission, so long as the information is for purposes related to the student’s
attendance at those other schools.
(c) Authorized representatives of the U.S. Department of Education, state and local education authorities, the Comptroller General of
the United States or the Attorney General of the United States.
(d) Providers of financial aid (and services in connection therewith) for which the student has applied or received, including, without
limitation, lenders, guaranty agencies, Veterans Administration, state vocational rehabilitation agencies and collection agencies.
(e) State and local authorities where required.
(f) Accrediting agencies.
(g) A parent (whether a natural parent, guardian or an individual acting as a parent in the absence of a parent or guardian) of a student
who is a dependent of the parent for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. The school is not required, however, to release such
records.
(h) Any court in which the student or a parent of the student initiates a legal action against the school, but only with respect to the
student’s education records that are relevant for the school to defend itself.
(i) Any court in which the school initiates a legal action against the student or a parent of the student, but only with respect to the
student’s education records that are relevant for the school to prosecute the legal action.

(k) Appropriate persons or agencies in the event of a health or safety emergency, where such release without consent is deemed
necessary by the school under the circumstances.
(l) Organizations conducting studies to develop, validate and administer predictive tests, to administer student aid programs or to

only the following information from the student’s education records: the student’s name, the violation committed; and any sanction
imposed by the school on the student. A Crime of Violence means an act that would, if proven, constitute any of the following
offenses or offenses to commit the following offenses: arson; assault offenses; burglary; criminal homicide, whether manslaughter
by negligence, murder or non-negligent manslaughter; the destruction, damage or vandalism of property; kidnapping or abduction;
robbery; or forcible sex offense. A Non-forcible Sex Offense means an act that would, if proven, constitute statutory rape or incest.
(n) The purported victim, regardless of whether the school determines that the student, as an alleged perpetrator, committed a Crime
of Violence or a Non-forcible Sex Offense in violation of the Conduct section of this catalog, but only the following information from
the student’s education records: the student’s name; the violation committed; and any sanction imposed by the school on the
student.
(o) Any person, if the education records disclosed are Directory Information on the student.
(p) The student, or the student’s parents if the student is less than 18 years old.
(q) A parent of the student regarding the student’s violation of any federal, state or local law or any rule or policy of the school

determined that the student has violated the Conduct section of this catalog with respect to that use or possession.
(r) The United States Attorney General (or designee not lower than an Assistant Attorney General) pursuant to an ex parte court order

terrorism as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2331.

federal guidelines.

The school will obtain the written consent of the student prior to releasing the student’s education records to any other person or
organization, except with respect to Directory Information.

ITT Educational Services, Inc. has adopted a detailed Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act policy (AA 9.0) which is available to
the student upon request.

66
Foreign Student Information

Financial Assistance
Some foreign students may be eligible for federal student financial aid. To be eligible, a foreign student must be one of the following:
(a) A U.S. national; or
(b) A U.S. permanent resident and possess an I-551 (Alien Registration Receipt Card).

Any foreign student who is not one of the above must have one of the following documents from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (“USCIS”):
(i) I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) with an appropriate endorsement;
(ii) a passport confirming permanent residency in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands;
(iii) official documentation that the student has been granted asylum in the U.S.; or
(iv) other proof from the USCIS that the student is in the U.S. for other than a temporary purpose.

Any foreign student who possesses any of these documents should check with the Finance Department for more information regarding
his or her eligibility for federal student financial aid.

All classes will be conducted in English. English language services and visa services are not available at the school.

Career Services
Foreign students may not be permitted by the USCIS to be employed in the United States during school. Therefore, a foreign student
should have sufficient funds available to cover tuition, fees, the cost of any tools that the student is required to obtain for his or her
program of study or other supplies and living costs.

Most, if not all reference sources provided by the school to assist the foreign student in securing graduate employment related to his or
her education will involve firms and employment opportunities located in the United States. The foreign student is responsible for
obtaining all of the necessary governmental authorizations to remain in the United States and obtain employment in the United States
following graduation from his or her program of study at the school.

Student Handbook
The school maintains a Student Handbook for students that includes information relating to various areas of student interest and
responsibility. Copies of the Student Handbook are available from the school administration. Each student is provided a copy of the
Student Handbook and must abide by the student requirements and responsibilities specified therein.

Revisions to Policies and Procedures


The school reserves the right from time to time in its discretion to revise all terms, provisions, policies, requirements and procedures
contained in this catalog and the Student Handbook. Each student will be bound by and must comply with all terms, provisions, policies,
requirements and procedures contained in this catalog and/or the Student Handbook that the school revises.

least 60 days before the effective date of the increase. A student will be obligated to pay the school the higher tuition per credit
hour with respect to any program course that (a) the student is registered to take from the school and (b) begins after the
effective date of the increase. Students can expect the school to increase, at least once during any calendar year, the tuition per
credit hour charged for program courses offered by the school.

The tuition for each program course that a student is registered to take from the school is determined by multiplying the tuition
per credit hour by the number of credit hours in the program course. The tuition for each quarter in which a student is enrolled in
a program of study offered by the school is determined by multiplying the tuition per credit hour by the total number of credit
hours in all of the program courses that the student is registered to take during the quarter. The tuition for all of the credit hours
in all of the program courses that a student is registered to take from the school during a quarter is due and payable by the
student to the school on the first day of that quarter.

68
Fees

Academic Fee
Each student will pay the school an Academic Fee of $200. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding
sentence, if the school or any other ITT Technical Institute previously received and retained any monies from or on behalf of the student
for an Academic Fee charged to the student (“Prior Academic Fee Retained”), the student will only be obligated to pay the school an
Academic Fee in the amount of $200, less the amount of the Prior Academic Fee Retained. The Academic Fee is due and payable by
the student to the school on the student’s first day of recorded attendance in any program course following the student’s enrollment in a
program of study offered by the school.

Administrative Fee
Each student will pay the school an Administrative Fee of $100 each time the student’s enrollment in a program of study offered by the
school is terminated, regardless of the reason for the termination (including, without limitation, any termination of enrollment resulting
from a student’s graduation, withdrawal, failure to make satisfactory academic progress or violation of
the Conduct section of the school catalog). The Administrative Fee is due and payable by the student to the school immediately upon
the termination of the student’s enrollment in the program of study.

*Depending on the courses that the student chooses to take to satisfy the Unspecified Core course requirements in the Program
Outline, the student may be required to purchase tools for use in these courses.

The actual use of, and instruction regarding, the tools in any program course may vary depending on the program course and any
changes thereto, the faculty member teaching the program course and the student’s progress in the program course. The
ESTIMATED cost specified above for the tools required for certain program courses in the corresponding program of study is an
ESTIMATED cost of those tools if purchased from the school. The ACTUAL cost of the tools required for the particular program of
study could be higher or lower than the ESTIMATED cost. The ESTIMATED cost of those tools is subject to change by the school
at any time. No student is obligated to purchase any tools from the school. Any tools that a student purchases from the school
are unreturnable and the cost is nonrefundable, except as expressly specified in the Return of Tools section. The cost of any tools
that a student purchases from the school is due and payable by the student to the school upon the student’s receipt of those tools.

Alternative Payment Arrangement


If the student is unable to pay the school, on or before the applicable due dates, all of the tuition, applicable fees and/or cost of any
required tools purchased from the school that are or may become owed by the student to the school with respect to the student’s
enrollment in a program of study at the school, the school may, in its discretion, agree in writing to a different payment arrangement as
expressly provided in a Cost Summary and Payment Addendum to the student’s Enrollment Agreement with the school.

69
Delinquent Payment
Any student who is delinquent in the payment of any sum owed to the school may be suspended or terminated from the student’s
program of study at the school’s discretion. If a student is terminated from his or her program of study for failing to pay the school when
due any sum owed to the school, the student will not be considered for readmission to the program of study until the school receives full
payment of all such delinquent sum or the student makes written arrangements with the school to pay such delinquent sum that are
acceptable to the school in its discretion. If the student fails to fulfill the terms of any such arrangement that is accepted in writing by the
school, the school may, in its discretion, terminate the student from his or her program of study at the school.

Methods Used to Collect Delinquent Payments


The student must pay all amounts owed to the school prior to leaving the school. If the student is unable to pay all such amounts before
leaving the school, the student must make arrangements to pay such amounts that are acceptable to the school in its discretion. If the
student fails to (a) make arrangements that are acceptable to the school prior to leaving the school or (b) fulfill the terms of any
arrangements accepted by the school, the school will be forced to exercise all of its rights and remedies against the student to collect all
such amounts, including, without limitation, referring the student’s account to a collection agency.

Repeat
If a student repeats any course(s) in his or her program of study at the school, the student must pay all then current tuition and fees
applicable to such program course(s).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Cancellation
The student's enrollment in the program will be canceled and all monies received by the school from or with respect to the student
under the student’s Enrollment Agreement with the school will be returned to the appropriate party(ies) within 30 days, if:

(a) the student notifies the school that the student has canceled the student’s Enrollment Agreement with the school

 within 3 business days following the date the student signs the student’s Enrollment Agreement with the school, or

withdrawal or termination. “Pro Rata Portion” with respect to any fee(s) charged to the student in a quarter means the percentage
derived by dividing the total number of hours of instruction in all of the program course(s) that the student was registered to take in
that quarter at the time of the student’s withdrawal or termination into the number of those hours of instruction that had expired
through the date of the student’s withdrawal or termination. The student's withdrawal or termination date for purposes of calculating

student at the school; and

 all other amounts owed to the school under the student’s Enrollment Agreement with the school (including any addenda to
the student’s Enrollment Agreement with the school) and/or any other agreement between the student and the school.

(d) If, at the time the student withdraws or is terminated from any program course or the program, the school has received any monies

Return of Federal Financial Aid


If the student withdraws or is terminated from the program, depending on when his or her withdrawal or termination occurs during the
quarter, the student and/or his or her parent(s) may be ineligible to use a portion of any federal student financial aid awarded to the
student and/or his or her parent(s) for use in that quarter.

(a) If the student’s withdrawal or termination from the program occurs:

 within the first 60% of the quarter, the amount of federal student financial aid awarded for use in that quarter that the student
and/or his or her parents may use is a proportional calculation based on the percentage of the quarter that has elapsed as of
the student’s withdrawal or termination date; or

 after the first 60% of the quarter, the student and/or his or her parents may use 100% of the federal student financial aid
awarded for use in that quarter.

(b) If the student and/or his or her parent(s) are ineligible to use a portion of any federal student financial aid remitted to the school to
satisfy the student's obligation for tuition, fees or other costs of student’s education:

 federal law requires the school to return to the appropriate party(ies) such unusable aid;

 the school will advise the student of the amount of such unusable aid returned by the school; and

 the student will be liable for an amount equal to the portion of such unusable aid for which the student is obligated to the
school under the Refund section above, and will immediately pay that amount to the school in full.

(c) If the student and/or his or her parent(s) are ineligible to use a portion of any federal student financial aid received by the student
and/or the parent(s) and not remitted to the school:

 federal law requires the student and/or the parent(s) to repay to the appropriate party(ies) such unusable aid; and

 the school will advise the student and/or the parent(s) of the amount of such unusable aid.

Cancellation and Refund Requests


Any cancellation or refund request by a student should be made in writing and mailed to: Director, ITT Technical Institute, 3100 Cottage
Hill Road, Building 3, Mobile, Alabama 36606. If the student is a minor, however, the request must be made by the student’s parent or
guardian.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The school may, from time to time, provide the student with (a) information on federal, state and private education loans and grants,
and other student financial aid (collectively, “Financial Assistance”) for which he or she may apply to receive and/or (b) estimates of the
amount of Financial Assistance for which he or she may qualify, but:

 the federal, state and private party providers determine the student’s eligibility for any Financial Assistance;
 the federal, state and private party providers determine the amount of any Financial Assistance the student may receive, not
the school;
 any Financial Assistance, including, without limitation, scholarships, may terminate at any time without notice;
 the student is responsible for applying for any Financial Assistance, not the school;
 the student is responsible for determining when and where to apply for any Financial Assistance; and

and less any amount of the loan that may be refunded.

Federal Financial Aid Administered by the U.S. Department of Education

The school is designated as an eligible institution by the U.S. Department of Education (“DOE”) for participation in the following federal
programs. To apply for financial aid under the following federal programs, a student needs to complete and submit a Free Application
For Federal Student Aid online, by PDF or by paper.

Federal Pell Grant Program


The Federal Pell Grant Program is intended to allow eligible students financial access to the school or college of their choice. For
eligible students, Federal Pell Grants are the “floor” or base upon which all other federal student financial aid is built. Current year
awards range from $0 to $5,550. The amount a student may receive depends on the student’s family’s financial situation, the student’s
full- or part-time enrollment status and how much of the student’s remaining education at the school falls within the current federal
award year (July 1 through June 30). In order to be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, a student may not have previously received a
bachelor’s degree from any institution.

Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant Program


A student who is not eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, but whose parent or guardian was a member of the U.S. Armed Forces and died
as a result of service performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001, may be eligible to receive a grant under the Iraq and
Afghanistan Service Grant Program. The grant award is equal to the amount of a maximum Federal Pell Grant for the current federal
award year, but not to exceed the student’s cost of attendance for that federal award year. An additional eligibility requirement is that
the student must be either:

 under 24 years old; or


 enrolled at least part-time at the time of the parent’s or guardian’s death.

Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant Program


An eligible student may receive a federal Academic Competitiveness Grant of up to $750 for the student’s first academic year of study
and up to $1,300 for the student’s second academic year of study. To be eligible for each academic year, a student must:

 be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen;


 be a Federal Pell Grant recipient;
 be enrolled at least half-time in a degree program;
 be enrolled in the first or second academic year of his or her program of study at an eligible two-year or four-year degree-
granting institution;
 have successfully completed a rigorous secondary school program of study (after January 1, 2006, if a first-academic-year
student, and after January 1, 2005, if a second-academic-year student);
 if a first-academic-year student, not have been previously enrolled in an Academic Competitiveness Grant-eligible
undergraduate program while the student was still in high school or, if the student was in such a program, the courses must
have been part of the student’s high school program; and
 if a second-academic-year student, have successfully completed the student’s first academic year and have a cumulative
grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
72
The goal of this federal grant program is to encourage more students to pursue fields of study involving physical, life or computer
science, engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign language.

Federal National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (“SMART”) Grant Program
An eligible student may receive a federal SMART Grant of up to $4,000 for each of the student’s third and fourth academic years of
study. To be eligible for each academic year, a student must:

 be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen;


 be a Federal Pell Grant recipient;
 be enrolled at least half-time in a bachelor degree program in a field of study involving physical, life or computer science,
engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign language;
 be enrolled in a four-year degree-granting institution; and
 have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for all courses in the student’s program through the most
recently completed payment period.

The goal of this federal grant program is to assist students who have demonstrated academic ability and require financial aid to help
pay their cost of education.

Federal Work Study Program


The Federal Work Study Program (“FWS”) provides jobs for eligible students who must earn funds to pay a portion of their educational
expenses. A student enrolled at least half-time in an approved postsecondary educational institution may work in a governmental or
nonprofit agency. The salary is generally the current minimum wage, unless the employer is willing to pay a higher wage rate for
particular skills. The number of hours a student may work is based on the financial need demonstrated by the student, the number of
hours it is possible for the student to work and the availability of FWS funds at the institution. Only a limited number of FWS jobs are
available on campus; information with respect to these campus positions is available from the Career Services Office.

Direct Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program


These loans are available to eligible students enrolled at least half-time in an eligible institution and are based on the financial need
demonstrated by each student. An undergraduate student may borrow up to $3,500 for the first academic year, $4,500 for the second
academic year and $5,500 for each of the third and subsequent academic years under this program. A graduate student may borrow up
to $8,500 for each academic year under this program. The loan amounts will be pro rated for academic years of less than nine months.
A student must repay his or her Direct Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans based on the amount borrowed, but no less than $50 per
month, beginning six months after graduation or termination of studies. As of July 1, 2010, the maximum interest rate on a Direct
Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan is 4.5% for undergraduate students and 6.8% for graduate students. Repayment of a Direct
Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan may be deferred for up to three years for any student who: (1) is seeking and is unable to find full-
time employment; (2) suffers economic hardship; or (3) returns to school and is enrolled at least half-time. As of July 1, 2010, a student
is obligated for a 1.0% origination fee on each Direct Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan that the student receives. At the time of loan
origination, the DOE will provide an interest rebate to Direct Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan borrowers. This rebate will be credited to
the student’s loan account. In order to keep this benefit, a student must make his or her first 12 required monthly payments on time.
As of July 1, 2010, the interest rebate awarded by the DOE is 0.5%.

Direct Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program


These loans are available to eligible students enrolled at least half-time in an eligible institution and who do not demonstrate financial
need. An undergraduate student who is classified as (a) independent or (b) dependent and whose parents fail to qualify for a Direct
Federal PLUS Loan, may borrow up to $6,000 for each of the first two academic years and $7,000 for each of the third and subsequent
academic years under this program. An undergraduate student who is classified as dependent and whose parents are not rejected for a
Direct Federal PLUS Loan may borrow up to $2,000 for each academic year under this program. A graduate student may borrow up to
$12,000 each academic year under this program. This loan was created so that any student, regardless of income, would be able to
obtain a Federal Stafford Loan. The terms and conditions of the unsubsidized loan, including deferments, interest rate and loan
charges, with few exceptions, are the same as the Direct Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan described above. However, a student must
pay the interest on any Direct Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan during the time that the student is in school and during any
deferment period. The maximum interest rate on a Direct Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan was 6.8%, as of the date this catalog was
published. As of July 1, 2010, a student is obligated for a 1.0% origination fee on each Direct Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan that
the student receives. At the time of loan origination, the DOE will provide an interest rebate to Direct Unsubsidized Federal Stafford
Loan borrowers. This rebate will be credited to the student’s loan account. In order to keep this benefit, a student must make his or her
first 12 required monthly payments on time. As of July 1, 2010, the interest rebate awarded by the DOE is 0.5%.

Direct Federal PLUS Loan Program


Direct Federal PLUS Loans are for parent and graduate student borrowers. The maximum interest rate for Direct Federal PLUS Loans
was 7.9%, as of the date this catalog was published. The interest rates charged on these loans may change, so the student must check
with the school for the current rate. As of the date this catalog was published, parents and graduate student borrowers are obligated for
a 4% origination fee on each Direct Federal PLUS Loan they receive. At the time of loan origination, the DOE will provide an interest
rebate to Direct Federal PLUS Loan borrowers. This rebate will be credited to the parent’s or graduate student’s loan account. In order
to keep this benefit, a borrower must make his or her first 12 required monthly payments on time. As of July 1, 2010, the interest rebate
awarded by the DOE is 1.5%. Direct Federal PLUS Loans enable parents and graduate students to borrow the cost of the student’s
education, less other aid received by the student. Direct Federal PLUS Loan borrowing is limited to parents and graduate students with
a favorable credit history.

As of the date this catalog was published:

 an origination fee ranging from 0% to 10% of the loan amount was charged on a PEAKS Program loan, based on the
creditworthiness of the borrower;
 the interest rate charged on a PEAKS Program loan was a variable rate that ranged from the prime rate plus 12.5% for the
least creditworthy eligible borrowers to the prime rate plus 2.5% for the most creditworthy eligible borrowers, not to exceed
25% per annum; and
 the interest rate charged on a PEAKS Program loan adjusts monthly based on the prime rate that is in effect on the 17th day of
the immediately preceeding month (or if not published on that day, the next day on which the prime rate is published).

Student CU Connect Private Student Loan Program
Loans under the Student CU Connect Private Student Loan Program (the “CUCLP”) are made available to eligible students by Eli Lilly
Federal Credit Union. The CUCLP was designed to help eligible students fill the funding gap when federal and state student financial
aid sources do not fully cover the students’ cost of education. CUCLP loans are not guaranteed by the federal government and may
cost an eligible student more than federal loans. Under the CUCLP, an eligible student may borrow from $1,000 up to the cost of the

 three months after the student’s enrollment at an ITT Technical Institute ends for any reason other than graduation, unless he
or she reenrolls in any program at an ITT Technical Institute; and
 in any event, seven years following the first disbursement of his or her CUCLP loans.

The maximum repayment period for CUCLP loans is 10 years. To qualify for a CUCLP loan:

 the borrower and any cosigner must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or permanent resident alien;
 the borrower or cosigner(s) must meet the lender’s creditworthiness requirements;
 the borrower and cosigner(s) must be of majority age in his or her state of residence;
 the student must have graduated from or be attending an ITT Technical Institute on a full-time, half- time or less than half-time
basis; and
 the student must possess a minimum of 20 quarter credit hours of credit for college-level courses.

As of the date this catalog was published:

 an origination fee ranging from 0% to 10% of the loan amount was charged on a CUCLP loan, based on the creditworthiness
of the borrower or whether there was a cosigner;
 the interest rate charged on a CUCLP loan was a variable rate that ranged from the prime rate plus 13.0% for the least
creditworthy eligible borrowers without a cosigner to the prime rate plus 1.5% for the most creditworthy eligible borrowers, not
to exceed 18%; and
 the interest rate charged on a CUCLP loan adjusts monthly based on the prime rate that is in effect on the third to last
business day of the immediately preceeding month.

President’s Scholarship
The primary purpose of the President’s Scholarship is to encourage graduates of an ITT Technical Institute associate degree program
who have demonstrated above-average academic achievement to obtain a higher level of education. The President’s Scholarship is
available to eligible new students who begin a bachelor degree program of study at an ITT Technical Institute. At the end of each
quarter that an eligible student is enrolled in a bachelor degree program, the school will determine if the student qualifies for a
President’s Scholarship award for that quarter. If the eligible student qualifies for a particular quarter, the student will receive a
President’s Scholarship award in the form of a retroactive 20% reduction in the cost per credit hour for each course taken by the
student in that quarter that has a “” printed next to its course number in the Program Outline for that bachelor degree program, as
shown in the Curricula section of this catalog.

Eligibility Requirements – To be eligible for the President’s Scholarship, a student must:


 first begin attending classes in a bachelor degree program of study at an ITT Technical Institute on or after September
8, 2008; and
 have graduated from an ITT Technical Institute associate degree program of study with an overall cumulative grade
point average of at least 3.0 for all of the courses included in that program prior to attending classes in a bachelor
degree program of study.

Qualification Requirements – To qualify for a President’s Scholarship award for a particular quarter, the student must:
 be enrolled at all times during that quarter in courses in his or her bachelor degree program that represent at least 12
quarter credit hours; and
 at the end of that quarter, be making satisfactory academic progress and have an overall cumulative grade point
average of at least 3.0 for all courses taken in his or her bachelor degree program of study.

Upon admission to a bachelor’s degree program of study at the school, the student must contact the school’s Finance Department to
determine if he or she is eligible for the President’s Scholarship. If the school determines that the student satisfies the eligibility
requirements of the President’s Scholarship upon admission to a bachelor's degree program at the school, the student will have the
opportunity to qualify for a President’s Scholarship award for each quarter of attendance in his or her bachelor degree program. An
eligible student may not receive a President’s Scholarship award for more than eight quarters of the student's enrollment in his or her
bachelor degree program.

FEDERAL AND PRIVATE EDUCATION LOAN CODE OF CONDUCT AND DISCLOSURE

Federal education loans and private education loans (collectively, "Loans") are two types of financial aid that are available to qualifying
ITT Technical Institute students and their parents. It is important for ITT Technical Institute student and parent borrowers to understand
ITT Technical Institute's position with respect to Lenders, which are defined to include:

 private lenders who make Loans that ITT Technical Institute student and parent borrowers can use to help pay the cost of
an ITT Technical Institute education;
 the entities that service, guaranty and/or securitize those Loans; and
 the entities, such as trade or professional associations, that receive money related to Loan activities from those private
lenders, servicers, guarantors and securitizers.
81
Code of Conduct: ITT Technical Institute has adopted the following code of conduct with respect to Lenders:

(1) ITT Technical Institute officers and employees (collectively, “Agents”) will avoid real and perceived conflicts of interest between
their duties and responsibilities at ITT Technical Institute and the Loans or other student financial aid made available to qualifying
ITT Technical Institute students and their parents.

(2) No Agent will solicit, accept or receive any Gift (as defined below) from a Lender.

(3) No Agent who is employed in the institute’s Finance Department or has any responsibilities with respect to student financial aid will:

 accept from a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender any fee, payment or other financial benefit (including the opportunity to
purchase stock) as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or other contract to provide services to, or on
behalf of, a Lender relating to federal or private Loans.

(4) An Agent, who is not employed in the institute’s Finance Department or does not have any responsibilities with respect to student
financial aid, may serve on any board of any publicly traded or privately held company and solicit, accept and receive remuneration
or expense reimbursement related thereto, regardless of whether that company is a Lender.

(5) ITT Technical Institute will not:

 accept or request any Gift from a Lender in exchange for any advantage or consideration provided to that Lender related to
the Lender’s Loan activities;
 solicit, accept or receive any payments, referral fees, revenue sharing or similar financial arrangements from any Lender in
exchange for referring or recommending that Lender to ITT Technical Institute’s student and parent borrowers;
 permit any employee or other agent of a Lender to:
 identify himself or herself to ITT Technical Institute’s student or parent borrowers as an employee, representative or
agent of ITT Technical Institute; or
 work in the Finance Department or any call center operation of ITT Technical Institute;
 direct any of its student or parent borrowers to any electronic promissory notes or other loan agreements with respect to any
Lender’s Loans that do not provide the student or parent borrowers with a reasonable and convenient alternative to select
their Lender for a particular type of Loan and complete that Lender’s Loan documentation;
 refuse to certify, or delay certification of, any Lender’s Loan based on the Lender selected by its student or parent
borrowers; or

 in the form of a specified number of federal or private Loans, a specified volume of those Loans or a preferred lender
arrangement with respect to those Loans.

(6) ITT Technical Institute will allow all of its student and parent borrowers to select the Lender of their choice, and will not otherwise
assign any of its student or parent borrowers’ Loans to a particular Lender.

(7) If ITT Technical Institute refers or recommends any Lender(s) to its student or parent borrowers, ITT Technical Institute will:

 disclose the process by which it selected the Lender(s), including the method and criteria that it used in determining to refer
or recommend the Lender(s) and the relative importance of those criteria;
 disclose to students and their parents that they are free to use any Lender;
 only refer or recommend a Lender that, as a whole, it has determined offers Loans that have competitive rates, terms,
borrower benefits, services and loan administration (collectively, "Terms");
 review annually the competitiveness of the Terms of the Loans offered by the Lender(s) that it refers or recommends to its
student and parent borrowers;
 update annually the Lender(s) that it refers or recommends to its student and parent borrowers;
 obtain each Lender's assurance that any repayment benefits that the Lender advertised with respect to the Lender’s Loans
made to its student and parent borrowers will continue to apply to those Loans, regardless of whether the Lender sells those
Loans;
 inquire whether the Lender has any agreement to sell the Loans made to its student and parent borrowers to an unaffiliated
Lender and, if the Lender informs ITT Technical Institute that the Lender has such an agreement, ITT Technical Institute will
disclose that information to its student and parent borrowers; and
 not refer or recommend any Lender more favorably for a particular type of Loan, in exchange for the Lender providing more

limitation, any entertainment, hospitality, service, honoraria, transportation, lodging, meal, registration fee, forbearance, promise,
computer hardware, printing or assistance with call center or Finance Department staffing, whether provided in kind, by purchase
82
of a ticket, payment in advance or by reimbursement. A Gift to a family member of an Agent, or to any other individual based on
that individual’s relationship with an Agent, is considered to be a Gift to the Agent, if:

__________________________
(1) The maximum amount listed is the amount that is in effect as of July 1, 2010. The actual amount available to a
student or parent borrower is subject to the borrower’s qualification pursuant to DOE regulations and the moneys
available under each program from time to time.

(4) Specific disclosures for private Loans:

 ITT Technical Institute typically refers student and parent borrowers to the following list of Lenders of private Loans ("Private
Lenders") to assist its students in obtaining financial aid to help pay their cost of education that federal student financial aid
does not cover:

 Liberty Bank, N.A. (“LB”), or


 Eli Lilly Federal Credit Union (“ELFCU”)

 LB is not affiliated with any of the other Private Lenders. ELFCU is not affiliated with any of the other Private Lenders.

 ITT Technical Institute believes that many of its students would be unable to pursue and pay the cost of their education without
access to private Loans, because, in many cases, the amount of other available financial resources is insufficient or those
resources are inaccessible for student and parent borrowers to use to cover the students’ cost of education.

 ITT Technical Institute typically refers the Private Lenders to student and parent borrowers, because of the Terms and
availability of their private Loans. ITT Technical Institute compares the Terms of private Loans that Lender’s may offer to ITT
Technical Institute student or parent borrowers on an annual basis through an informal process. The most important Terms
include the interest rates and fees charged on the private Loans, the borrower benefits associated with the private Loans (such
as repayment benefits and loan consolidation), the credit criteria that borrowers must satisfy to qualify for the private Loans
and various aspects of the administration of the private Loans (such as the manner and ease by which the private Loans are
processed, funded and serviced).

 ITT Technical Institute believes that the Terms of the Private Lenders’ private Loans are highly competitive with the Terms of
private Loans offered by other Lenders that may be available to ITT Technical Institute student and parent borrowers. ITT
Technical Institutes goal is to refer Lenders that offer to ITT Technical Institute student and parent borrowers, as a whole,
private Loans with highly competitive Terms, and that administer those private Loans efficiently. The general Terms of the
84
private Loans offered by the Private Lenders to ITT Technical Institute student and parent borrowers were determined through
negotiations conducted on behalf of all of the ITT Technical Institutes across the country. ITT Technical Institute believes that
this approach can generally help reduce the rates and improve the other Terms of the private Loans, because the number of
potential borrowers attending all of those institutions combined is much greater than the number attending a single ITT
Technical Institute campus and, therefore, more attractive to the Private Lenders. ITT Technical Institute cannot assure any
student or parent borrower, however, that the Terms of the Private Lenders’ private Loans contain lower rates or
other Terms that are more beneficial, or are administered more efficiently, than private Loans offered by other
Lenders that a student or parent borrower may be able to obtain.

 The Private Lenders have made assurances that any repayment benefits advertised with respect to any private Loans that
student and parent borrowers obtain from any of the Private Lenders will continue to apply to their private Loans, regardless of
whether that Private Lender sells their private Loans.

 The Private Lenders may now or in the future have an agreement to sell the private Loans made to ITT Technical Institute’s
parent and student borrowers to unaffiliated Lenders.

 ITT Technical Institute encourages student and parent borrowers to:


 shop around to obtain private Loans from Lenders who offer the best combination of Terms for the borrower’s particular
circumstances;
 choose Lenders that can process and fund the borrower’s private Loans electronically, in order to avoid a slower paper
process which may result in delays in funding the borrower’s private Loans; and
 make certain that all repayment benefits advertised by the Lender with respect to the borrower’s private Loans (such as
discounts for a certain number of consecutive timely private Loan payments) are specified in the borrower’s private
Loan documents and will remain part of the Terms if the private Loans are subsequently sold by the Lender.

ITT Technical Institute’s financial aid professionals are available to assist student and parent borrowers and answer any questions that
they may have regarding the federal and private Loans available for those who qualify.

STUDENT SERVICES
Career Services
The school’s career services as specified below, are available to students and interested graduates, but the school does not make any
promise or representation whatsoever to any student or graduate: (1) that the student or graduate will obtain any employment, whether
full-time, part-time, upon graduation, during school, related to his or her education or otherwise; or (2) regarding any career opportunity,
position, salary level and/or job title in any employment that the student or graduate may obtain, whether during school or upon
graduation. No employment information or career service provided by the school to any student or graduate will be considered by the
student or graduate, either expressly or impliedly, as any: (a) guarantee or promise of employment; (b) likelihood of employment; (c)
indication of the level of employment or compensation any student or graduate may expect; or (d) indication of the types or job titles of
positions for which students or graduates may qualify. Students and graduates are encouraged to not place restrictions on their job
search endeavors regarding location, starting salary or specific benefits, as doing so may similarly restrict employment options and
opportunities. Any employment that a student or graduate may obtain with the help of the school’s career services will, in all probability
and likelihood, be at an entry-level position.

Part-time Career Services


The school will assist any interested student in finding part-time work during his or her enrollment in a program of study at the school.
The student must schedule his or her part-time employment so it does not interfere with the student’s Class Schedule.

Graduate Career Services


The student will be advised of job postings and interview opportunities. Students will also be advised of where to access information on
how to prepare for and appear at job interviews and how to conduct himself or herself during job interviews. The school offers helpful
reference sources to assist the student in locating firms and geographic areas within the United States that offer employment
opportunities related to his or her education. Job search activities generally intensify as the student nears graduation, so the student is
encouraged to maintain contact with the Career Services Department and utilize its assistance. The Career Services Department is
available to consult with any interested student regarding career opportunities that may be available to him or her upon graduation.
Alumni are also welcome to contact the Career Services Department for information on career opportunities. The graduate may have to
relocate to take advantage of employment opportunities he or she may receive from potential employers.

Preparatory Offering
All students are strongly encouraged to utilize the services and tools offered by the school to help them improve their preparation for the
math and verbal coursework in their programs.

Housing Assistance
The student may obtain from the school a list of potential housing accommodations within the vicinity of the school. The school does not
operate any on- or off-campus housing. Any student requiring housing assistance is encouraged to contact the school prior to beginning
classes for information on local apartment availability and general rental matters such as lease requirements, security deposits,
furniture rentals and utilities. The student and his or her parents are, however, solely responsible for the student’s housing
arrangements, as well as the student’s security and safety.
85
Student Activities
The school encourages student activities to help develop individual initiative, group leadership and cooperation. It is a goal of the school
to help provide students with the opportunity to participate in activities which relate to educational objectives, satisfy social needs,
provide recreational opportunities and encourage cultural enrichment. School-related student activities must be sanctioned, approved
and supervised by the school.

MISSION STATEMENT

The ITT Technical Institute is an institution of higher learning that is committed to offering quality undergraduate,
graduate and continuing education locally, nationally and worldwide to students of diverse backgrounds, interests
and abilities. The institution offers educational programs that integrate life-long learning with knowledge and
skills to help students:
· Pursue their personal interests and objectives;
· Develop intellectual, analytical and critical thinking abilities; and
· Provide service to their communities.
The programs employ traditional, applied and adult-learning pedagogies and are delivered through traditional,
accelerated and distance methodologies in a learner-centered environment of mutual respect.

FROM THE CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER

Congratulations on your decision to pursue your education at ITT Technical Institute. Your decision to increase
your knowledge can help you positively affect your future.

During your enrollment, you will be challenged by your instructors to accomplish predetermined goals that can
help you develop knowledge and skills to prepare for a career in a variety of fields involving your program of
study. During my experience in education, I have observed that a person’s attitude is the single most important
determinant of success. A positive can-do attitude, both during your educational experience and your employment,
can help lead you to further growth. You are now a member of the lifelong learning community.

Scientific research has shown that there are five keys to achieving your maximum potential. These five keys can
help you unlock opportunities for future growth and happiness.

The first of these keys is to clarify your vision, to determine what is important to you and what it is you want.
When you know what you want, you will be able to make better decisions. It can help you better determine
whether a choice will lead you closer to or take you farther from your ideal.

The second of these keys is to be positive; to develop a positive self-image by knowing that you have what it takes
to be a success. You have the ability to be creative and find solutions if only you allow yourself to do so.

The third of these keys is to become goal oriented. Having and living toward specific, measurable, attainable and
realistic goals can help you become resilient and overcome the obstacles that otherwise could make realizing your
vision more difficult.

The fourth of these keys is to take action. Goals without action are only wishes. You have already taken action
toward your career goals by seeking knowledge at ITT Technical Institute. Don’t let fear of success keep you from
taking the actions you need to take.

The fifth of these keys is to build relationships. Individuals are most effective when they build relationships with
other people who share similar visions and goals. The staff at ITT Technical Institute will be there to assist you as
you work toward realizing your vision.

Good Luck as you learn, grow and pursue your goals!

Dr. P. Michael Linzmaier


Chief Academic Officer

GENERAL POLICIES

The following rules and policies apply to all members of ITT Technical Institute’s student body.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

ITT Technical Institute defines academic dishonesty as the “submission of work completed by another person
as your own.” All ideas, words or work from others that are included in a student’s submitted work must be
identified and cited. Failure to appropriately identify the ideas, words or work of others included in a
student’s work is considered academic dishonesty and violates the conduct section of the School’s Catalog.
Academic dishonesty may result in a zero on the graded activity, suspension and/or termination from one or
more of the courses the student is taking or the student’s entire program of study at the school.

Ideas, words or work that require citation include, but are not limited to, hard copies or electronic
publications, whether copyrighted or not, and visual and verbal communication that clearly originates from an
identifiable source. This policy applies to all courses whether taught in residence or online and all sources
whether electronic or hardcopy.

It is academically unethical and unacceptable to:

 submit work completed in whole or in part by another person as if it were your own;

 restate or paraphrase another writer’s work without acknowledging the source;

 copy another student’s homework and submit the work as if it were the product of your own labor;

 attempt to gain an advantage through the use of crib sheets, hidden notes, viewing another student’s
paper, revealing the questions or answers on exams or quizzes to other students or viewing quiz or
exam questions obtained by another student; and

 store or communicate information not distributed to students through the use of electronic devices,
recording devices, cellular telephones, headsets or portable computers.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS-IMPROVEMENT AND CHANGES

Improvement to ITT Technical Institute’s curriculum is an ongoing process. The Institution’s Curriculum
Department receives input from faculty members, staff, students, graduates, and employers of graduates
through the use of surveys, local Advisory Committee meetings, national curriculum committees and outside
consultants. It then updates existing programs and adds new programs, including updating textbooks and
equipment to support new techniques that meet the ever-changing work environment in which our graduates
are employed.

ADVISING

The student must receive academic, attendance, and/or financial aid advising from the school, as the school
deems necessary in its discretion. Students should contact the School and Program Chair(s), Associate
Dean(s) or Dean for academic and attendance advising. The Director of Finance and Financial Aid
Administrator(s) conduct financial aid advising.

10
Instructors in online courses are available for class communications, tutoring and/or student advising at least
six days per week by e-mail. They will respond to messages within 72 hours. Academic Service
Representatives and Program Managers are also available for assistance with issues related to online courses.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY

The school makes available information on drug awareness to all students through the Substance Abuse
Prevention Coordinator. In compliance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, as amended, a
copy of the school’s Alcohol and Drug Policy is printed below to assure that all students at ITT Technical
Institute are aware of the standards of conduct with respect to alcohol and drugs that affect them.

The possession, use, and/or sale of alcohol and/or drugs on any part of the school’s premises or at any school-
sponsored event are prohibited. Students using illegal drugs or alcohol on any part of the school’s premises
or at any school-sponsored event will be terminated from the school and/or referred to appropriate
rehabilitation agencies. Students selling drugs on any part of the school’s premises or any school-sponsored
event will be terminated from school and referred to the appropriate legal authorities for prosecution. See
“Suspension and Reinstatement of Eligibility for Federal Student Financial Aid as a result of Drug-Related
Offenses” contained herein for additional information concerning how drug related convictions may impact
your ability to obtain Student Financial Aid. The school will also make available information on the health
risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol. This information is available from the
Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator.

 35% believe the offender was drinking or on drugs during assault in the workplace.
 Alcohol and drugs weaken the brain mechanisms that normally restrain impulsive behaviors,
including inappropriate aggression.

Medical Realities
 There is a strong correlation between alcohol use and cancers of the mouth, larynx, pharynx, and
esophagus.
 The correlation between alcohol and oral cancer is even more pronounced for those
o who use alcohol and tobacco.
 There is a significant negative impact on the health of children who are exposed to illegal drugs or
nicotine who grow up in a household where drugs and tobacco are abused.

11
Drug Usage Realities

unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances or propositions, requests for sexual favors, verbal abuse of a sexual
nature, subtle pressure or request for sexual activities, unnecessary touching of an individual, graphic verbal
commentaries about an individual's body, sexually degrading words used to describe an individual, a display
in the school of sexually suggestive objects or pictures, sexually explicit or offensive jokes, physical assault

12
and other verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature. No student, applicant, faculty member or
other employee of ITT Technical Institute shall threaten or insinuate, either explicitly or implicitly, that a
student's or applicant's refusal to submit to sexual advances will adversely affect that person's application,
enrollment, grades, studies or educational experience at ITT Technical Institute. Similarly, no faculty
member or other employee of ITT Technical Institute shall promise, imply, or grant any preferential treatment
in connection with any student or applicant with the intent of rewarding for or engaging in sexual conduct.

Other types of harassment that will not be tolerated include any unwanted or unwelcome words, gestures or
actions of a persistent or offensive nature involving any person's race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual
orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status. Harassment of this nature also
includes any conduct, whether verbal, visual or physical, relating to or involving a person's race, religion,
color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status that is
sufficiently pervasive or severe to: (i) unreasonably interfere with a student's education at the school or a
student's admission to a program offered by the school; or (ii) create an intimidating, hostile or offensive
learning environment for students.

Any student or applicant who feels that he or she is a victim of prohibited harassment (including, but not
limited to, any of the conduct listed above) by any student, applicant, faculty member or other ITT Technical
Institute employee, or visitor or invitee of the school in connection with the educational experience offered by
ITT Technical Institute should, as described in the Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure section, bring the
matter to the immediate attention of the school Director, at the telephone number specified in the school
catalog. A student or applicant who is uncomfortable for any reason in bringing such a matter to the attention
of the school Director, or who is not satisfied after bringing the matter to the attention of the school Director,
should report the matter to the Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer, ITT Educational
Services, Inc. (“ITT/ESI”) at (800) 388-3368. Any questions about this policy or potential prohibited
harassment should also be brought to the attention of the same persons.

ITT Technical Institute will promptly investigate all allegations of prohibited harassment in as confidential a
manner as the school deems reasonably possible and take appropriate corrective action, if warranted.

ATTENDANCE

Students are required to regularly attend scheduled class meetings and other activities that are part of a course
in which the student is registered. Students who fail to academically participate in a campus course for 22
consecutive calendar days will be administratively dropped from that course. For six (6) week online courses,
students who fail to academically participate in a course for 11 consecutive days will be administratively
dropped from that course. Student holidays that are scheduled during a quarter, except for the two-week
winter break, are included in the 22 and 11 calendar days referenced above.

In order to be considered “present” in an online course, a student must log in and complete a required activity
at least once during the week. A week runs from 12:00 a.m. Monday morning through 11:59 p.m. Sunday
evening.

13
AVAILABILITY OF COURSE MATERIALS

Students enrolled on a resident campus will receive books for both online and on campus courses at the
campus. Course materials for online courses offered through the Indianapolis online program will be mailed
to the student prior to the start of the course. Materials for all courses the student is registered to take in the
quarter will be mailed together prior to the start of that quarter. Online materials for online courses will not
be made available more than ten (10) days prior to the start of the course.

BIAS-RELATED CRIME PREVENTION INFORMATION (NEW YORK)

In compliance with Article 129-A of the New York State Education Law, information about bias-related
crime prevention is printed below in order to assure that all students at ITT Technical Institute are aware of
the laws, penalties and standards of conduct with respect to these crimes.

What is a Hate Crime?

In enacting the Hate Crimes Act of 2000, the New York Legislature found that:

Criminal acts involving violence, intimidation and destruction of property based upon bias and
prejudice have become more prevalent in New York state in recent years. The intolerable truth is that
in these crimes, commonly and justly referred to as “hate crimes”, victims are intentionally selected,
in whole or in part, because of their race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious
practice, age, disability or sexual orientation.

A hate crime is committed when a person commits a specified offense and intentionally selects the person
against whom the crime is committed in whole or in substantial part because of a belief or perception
regarding the race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or
sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct. A hate crime is also
committed when a person commits a specified offense and intentionally commits the act or acts constituting
the offense in whole or in substantial part because of such belief or perception.

For purposes of this definition, specified offenses include the following offenses, or any attempt or conspiracy
to commit the following offenses:

- assault in the first, second or third degree;


- aggravated assault upon a person less than 11 years old;
- menacing in the first, second or third degree;
- reckless endangerment in the first or second degree;
- manslaughter in the first or second degree;
- murder in the second degree;
- stalking in the first, second, third or fourth degree;
- rape in the first degree;
- criminal sexual act in the first degree;
- sexual abuse in the first degree;
- aggravated sexual abuse in the first or second degree;
- unlawful imprisonment in the first or second degree;
- kidnapping in the first or second degree;
- coercion in the first or second degree;
- criminal trespass in the first, second or third degree;
- burglary in the first or second degree;
- criminal mischief in the first, second, third or fourth degree;

14
- arson in the first, second, third or fourth degree;
- petit larceny;
- grand larceny in the first, second, third or fourth degree;
- robbery in the first, second or third degree;
- harassment in the first degree; or
- aggravated harassment in the first or second degree.

Penalties for Hate Crimes

The Hate Crimes Act generally provides that when a person commits a hate crime, the penalty to which he or
she will be sentenced will generally be longer than if the person had committed the same specified offense
without the hate crime.

Procedures

Victims of hate crimes are encouraged to report the offense as soon as possible after the incident. The school
Director can provide information regarding assistance, resources and options of action available to the victim.
The information provided by the Director will include the availability of counseling and other support
services in the community. Counseling services are not available at the school. In addition, victims of hate
crimes are reminded of their right to report the matter directly to local law enforcement officials.

Reports received by the school of alleged hate crimes perpetuated by enrolled students or school employees
will be forwarded to the school Director, who will refer the matter to local law enforcement officials. In
addition to the criminal penalties described above under “Penalties for Hate Crimes”, the school may also
impose sanctions against students or employees found guilty of hate crimes. For students, these sanctions
may include, without limitation, suspension or termination from the school. For employees, these sanctions
may include, without limitation, suspension or termination of employment.

ITT Technical Institute issues, on an annual basis, a Safety and Security Policies and Crime Statistics
Report, which discloses, among other things, information about the school’s safety and security policies and
procedures.

BULLETIN BOARDS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Official notices from the faculty and administration are posted on bulletin boards. Students are expected to
periodically review the official school notices posted on the bulletin boards, read the notices and comply with
the notices. Notices of available jobs and housing are posted on the Career Services bulletin board. If you
wish to post a notice of saleable items, please talk to an Associate Dean or Dean.

Official notices to online students from the administration are posted in the Announcements page of the ITT
Technical Institute Online Programs Website http://www.distance-education.itt-tech.edu/itt/clikslogin. Students
are required to periodically review the posted official notices, read the notice, and comply with the notices.

Introduction

ITT Technical Institute, in furtherance of its educational objectives, provides computing and network
services, usually without charge as part of the tuition and fees, to its educational community. These services
and the hardware associated with providing them are all considered part of the campus infrastructure and are
the property of ITT Technical Institute. The following guidelines reflect ITT Technical Institute’s policy for
responsible use of these services and resources. This policy should be used in connection with ITT Technical
Institute’s other existing policies, including those regarding discrimination, harassment, and equal
opportunity. Those policies can be found in the School Catalog and in this Student Handbook. The following
policy statements do not constitute a contract and ITT Technical Institute reserves the right to change them at
any time. Failure to abide by this policy may result in revocation of computing and network privileges and/or
disciplinary action.

Authorized Use of ITT Technical Institute Resources

a) Use of ITT Technical Institute’s computing and network systems is limited to authorized users (i.e.,
students admitted and attending classes, faculty and staff only).

b) User network IDs, computer sign-ons and passwords are the property of ITT Technical Institute and
should never be shared. A user must use only his or her own network ID, computer sign-on or
password and should never provide his or her network ID, computer sign-on or password to any other
user.

c) ITT Technical Institute’s resources or private computer hardware connected to ITT Technical
Institute’s computer systems must not be used to provide access to any ITT Technical Institute’s
network to anyone who is not an authorized user. No ITT Technical Institute resources may be used
to route non-ITT Technical Institute network traffic through any ITT Technical Institute computer
system without the prior written consent of ITT Technical Institute.

d) All usage of ITT Technical Institute’s computing resources, networks, and software is to be made for
legitimate educational, research, or employment purposes related to ITT Technical Institute. Any
commercial or other use of ITT Technical Institute’s computing resources, networks, or software is
strictly prohibited.

e) If ITT Technical Institute receives any evidence of any violation of this policy, security breach or use
of ITT/ESI resources for an illegal purpose (including the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials
or licensed software), ITT Technical Institute may terminate the user's network access without
consent or notice and impose other disciplinary action.

Electronic Mail

a) All electronic mail ("e-mail") accounts and the contents thereof are the property of ITT Technical
Institute.

b) ITT Technical Institute uses its e-mail system to communicate important information to students.
Students should check their e-mail account frequently.

c) E-mail messages should not be regarded as private, and ITT Technical Institute cannot guarantee the
confidentiality of e-mail messages for many reasons, including the following: e-mail messages may

17
be saved indefinitely on the receiving computer, e-mail messages can be intentionally or accidentally
forwarded to non-intended recipients, and e-mail messages may be improperly delivered by an e-mail
system.

d) ITT Technical Institute, although it does not regularly monitor e-mail communications, reserves the
right to inspect, monitor, disclose or discontinue e-mail communications without consent or notice
when consistent with and/or required by law; when there is evidence or reason to believe violations of
law or ITT Technical Institute policy are taking or have taken place; or when computer maintenance
or operational concerns require such action.

e) ITT Technical Institute e-mail services may not be used for: unlawful activities; commercial purposes
(whether or not under the auspices of ITT Technical Institute); personal financial gain; or any other
use that violates any other ITT Technical Institute policy or guideline, including any policy regarding
intellectual property or regarding sexual or other forms of harassment.

f) Each user must properly identify himself or herself as the originator of all e-mail messages he or she
sends and shall not employ any false identity on e-mail messages. Users shall also not give the
impression that they are representing or otherwise making statements on behalf of ITT Technical
Institute unless appropriately authorized to do so.

g) Users shall not be permitted to send unsolicited "junk" e-mail or mass electronic mailings or chain
letters without a legitimate ITT Technical Institute educational purpose.

h) ITT Technical Institute e-mail systems are intended for purposes related to ITT Technical Institute's
educational mission. Incidental personal uses of the e-mail system may be made, however, provided
such use does not: (1) burden ITT Technical Institute with noticeable incremental cost; (2) violate
any provision of this policy; or (3) otherwise interfere with the operation of ITT Technical Institute's
computing and network services. Users should be aware that such personal communications are not
private and are subject to the same conditions as all other e-mail, as described above.

Software Use

ITT Technical Institute makes a variety of software programs and applications available to the authorized
users of its computing systems. This software is generally licensed to ITT Technical Institute. Failure to
adhere to the terms of such licenses can subject violators to legal action and can jeopardize ITT Technical
Institute's ability to procure such software for its users. Users of ITT Technical Institute's computing systems
must adhere to the following guidelines:

a) Users should ensure they are covered by the appropriate site-license for each software program or
application they use. To determine whether you are an authorized user, contact the Dean.

b) Unauthorized copying of software is illegal and strictly prohibited, even when such software is not
protected against copying. There is generally a no "fair use" provision for copying software. ITT
Technical Institute’s software licenses do not permit you to obtain a copy of any of its software
programs for your use or installation on any computer.

c) Software must not be removed or copied from any ITT Technical Institute hardware or system
without prior written authorization from the Dean.

information, including an e-mail address, of the writer or publisher on each page.
c) Creation of any web page must comply with copyright laws for all content, including photographs,
illustrations, and other graphic images that were created by others. Downloading an image from any
web site without permission usually violates copyright law. See also “Copyright Infringement is
Prohibited” contained herein.

d) Any personal, club or organization web page created must be clearly marked with a legend indicating
that such page is personal in nature and does not represent the views or opinions of ITT Technical
Institute.

e) While ITT Technical Institute does not typically provide editorial review of web pages, ITT
Technical Institute reserves the right to edit or terminate such pages at any time to comply with third
party complaints, any applicable law or regulation, or computer and network management concerns.

Proper and Responsible Use of ITT Technical Institute Computing Systems

a) Users of ITT Technical Institute's computing systems must respect the privacy and rules governing all
information accessible through the systems. For example, users must not intentionally seek
information on, obtain copies of or modify files, tapes or passwords belonging to other users or ITT
Technical Institute available on ITT Technical Institute's computing systems.

b) Users of ITT Technical Institute's computing systems must respect the finite capacity of the
computing systems. For example, users shall limit usage of the computing systems so as to not
interfere with the usage of others and must not use the computing systems for profit-making or fund-
raising activities without specific prior written authorization from the Dean to do so.

c) Users of ITT Technical Institute's computing systems must respect the integrity of the computing
systems. For example, users must not download, transmit, or install any virus, Trojan horse, worm,

complies with all applicable local, state and federal laws.

19
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS PROHIBITED

Copyright laws protect original works of authorship. The owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to the
original work, including the right to copy the work, distribute the work, display or perform the work publicly,
and create derivative works. A copyright interest attaches to an original work that is “fixed in any tangible
medium of expression,” including traditional works like books, photographs, architectural drawings, music,
drama and sculpture, as well as works affected by new technologies, like movies, electronic media, web
pages, software, multimedia works and databases. The use of file-sharing networks to download and share
copyrighted works without permission from the copyright owner – like software, music, movies, TV shows,
games and images – violates copyright laws. Both the person who makes an illegal copy of a copyrighted
work available and the person who receives or downloads an illegal copy have violated the copyright laws. In
most instances, a student must obtain permission from the copyright owner in order to copy, distribute,
display or perform a copyrighted work in any medium for any purpose.

Any copyright infringement, including, without limitation, distribution of copyrighted material through
unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing, in connection with a student’s enrollment in a program of study at the
school or conducted by a student through the use of any of the school’s equipment or information systems is
prohibited and violates both the Conduct section of the School Catalog and the law. Any student who
engages in copyright infringement will be subject to discipline by the school, which may include, without
limitation, the suspension or termination from one or more courses the student is taking or the student’s entire
program of study at the school and the referral to the proper authorities. Copyright infringement may also
subject the student to civil and criminal liabilities. A summary of the penalties for violating federal copyright
laws include:

 unlimited actual damages proven for each act of copyright infringement;


 up to $30,000 for each act of copyright infringement that is determined not to be willful;
 up to $150,000 for each act of copyright infringement that is determined to be willful; and
 criminal penalties.

CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS EDUCATION OR EXPERIENCE

A student may request credit for courses in the student’s program of study at the school based on the student’s
previous postsecondary education or experience, by submitting a written request to the Registrar.

1. Previous Postsecondary Education

Following the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s written request, the school may grant the student
credit for course(s) in the student’s program of study based on the student’s previous postsecondary
education at a different institution, if the student satisfies all of the following requirements:

20
a) The student provides the school with an official transcript from each educational institution awarding
any credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific course requirements of
the student’s program of study at the school. If the educational institution is located (i) in the U.S., it
must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or (ii)
outside the U.S., it must be accredited or similarly acknowledged by an agency deemed acceptable to
the school in its discretion.

b) The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the
school to satisfy specific core course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school is
determined, in the school’s discretion, to be substantially the same as the subject matter of such core
course(s).

c) The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the
school to satisfy specific general education course requirements of the student’s program of study at
the school is determined, in the school’s discretion, to be in the same area of study (i.e., the
humanities, composition, mathematics, the sciences and the social sciences) as the area of study of
such general education course(s). In addition, any credit for courses that the student desires to transfer
to the school to satisfy any Science course requirements in the Nursing associate degree program
must have been earned by the student within seven years of the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s
written request.

d) The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the
school to satisfy any elective course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school is
determined, in the school’s discretion, to represent a level of rigor that is equal to or greater than the
rigor of the school’s lower division courses.

e) The number of credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy the requirements of a
specific course in the student’s program of study at the school must equate, as determined by the
school, to at least the same number of quarter credit hours of that course as specified in the Program
Outline for the student’s program of study at the school.

f) The student completed each course represented by credits that the student desires to transfer to the
school to satisfy specific course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school with at
least: (i) a grade of “C” (i.e., 2.0 on a 4.0 scale), if the credits were earned at a postsecondary
educational institution other than an ITT Technical Institute, or the student’s program of study at the
school is the Nursing associate’s degree program; or (ii) a passing grade, if the credits were earned at
an ITT Technical Institute and the student’s program of study at the school is not the Nursing
associate’s degree program.

g) Other institutions of higher education with which the school has established an articulation agreement
include the other ITT Technical Institutes across the country, and any other institution that may be set
forth in the School’s Catalog. Many of the same and other limitations and conditions specified above
with respect to credit granted by the school for a student’s previous postsecondary education at a
different institution will apply to credit granted by a different institution for a student’s postsecondary
education at the school. As a result, any student considering continuing his or her education at, or
transferring to, any institution other than an ITT Technical Institute must not assume that any credits
earned in any course taken at the school will be accepted by the receiving institution. The student
must contact the registrar of the receiving institution to determine what credits earned at the school, if
any, that institution will accept.

21
2. Previous Experience

Following the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s written request, the school may grant the student
credit for course(s) in the student’s program of study based on the student’s previous experience, if
the student demonstrates, to the school’s satisfaction, that he or she has sufficiently grasped the
knowledge and skills offered by the specific course(s) contained in the student’s program of study at
the school that the student desires credit for previous experience. The student must demonstrate such
knowledge and skills by completing a proficiency examination(s) and/or project(s) acceptable to the
school for each such course and receiving a grade or score thereon as required by the school.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a student may not receive credit based on the student’s previous
experience with respect to any course(s) in the student’s program of study at the school that the
student previously attempted at the school or at any other ITT Technical Institute.

DISABLED APPLICANTS AND STUDENTS

The school is committed to compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its regulations.
The school does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or
employment in, its programs and activities. The school Director is designated the school’s Student Disability
Coordinator and coordinates Section 504 compliance. Applicants or students with a disability (whether
physical or intellectual) may request an accommodation by contacting the school Director. The school’s
facilities are in compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those related to safety,
health and disabilities.

General Guidelines Regarding Disabilities and Accommodations

The following are General Guidelines. They provide a general description addressing disabilities and
accommodations for both applicants and students. These General Guidelines are a resource for students and
provide general information about accommodating individuals with disabilities. For purposes of these
Guidelines, the terms “student” or “students” collectively refer to both applicants and students.

Please carefully read these General Guidelines, as well as other specific guidelines that may apply.
Additional information may be found in more specific guidelines available from the Student Disability
Coordinator. Please address any questions or issues to the Student Disability Coordinator who is also the
school Director.

Students with disabilities are encouraged to meet with the school’s Student Disability Coordinator to learn
about accommodation opportunities. The decision to use these services is voluntary and a matter of
individual choice.

A. The Student Disability Coordinator

1. The school Director is also this school’s Student Disability Coordinator.

2. For all questions, concerns, and issues regarding disability-related and accommodation-related
issues please see the Student Disability Coordinator.

22
3. To provide appropriate accommodations to students with disabilities, the Student Disability
Coordinator:

a. Serves as a resource to provide information regarding how to obtain accommodations;

b. Helps determine the accommodations to be provided to a student, taking into consideration


the student’s documentation, preferences, available resources, and course requirements;

c. Keeps confidential information regarding a student’s disability; and

d. With a student’s consent, notifies the student’s instructors in writing that a student has a
disability and describing any agreed upon accommodations.

B. The Accommodation Procedure

1. A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a program, service, or activity


that provides a qualified student with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in the
school’s programs.

2. Reasonable accommodations are individualized and developed on a case-by-case basis.


Identifying an appropriate accommodation requires an exchange of information and flexibility.

3. Eligibility for reasonable accommodations is determined on an individual basis based on


documented need.

4. A student’s decision about whether to self-identify as a person with a disability is a personal one.
Individuals with disabilities are welcome to discuss their concerns with the Student Disability
Coordinator. The decision not to self-identify as disabled is understood and respected.

5. Self-disclosure and documentation are required only if a student requests an accommodation.

6. Self-disclosure and the submission of documentation to obtain a reasonable accommodation can


be initiated at any time. However, reasonable time should be allowed before the student can
expect accommodations to be in place.

7. Students should provide information and documentation at a reasonably early date to allow time
for the development and arrangement of reasonable accommodations.

8. Upon admission, incoming students with disabilities are urged to contact the Student Disability
Coordinator as soon as possible. Early identification of a student’s disability status and
accommodation requests can assist the school in arranging to reasonably accommodate that
student on a timely basis. The more time the Student Disability Coordinator has to make these
arrangements, the easier arranging accommodations can be.

9. Students deemed eligible for and granted an accommodation will be given a Request for
Accommodation letter. That letter is prepared by the Student Disability Coordinator and
describes the appropriate accommodation. That letter is given to each instructor where an
accommodation has been granted. If the student or instructor has additional questions, he/she
must contact the Student Disability Coordinator for clarification and/or assistance.

23
10. It is each student’s responsibility to make use of these accommodations. Each student is
ultimately responsible for his or her academic success. Each student must take the initiative to
use time, facilities, and support services in a productive manner. Each student is responsible for
his or her own work and grade in each course.

11. Accommodations cannot be retroactive. Accommodations begin only after appropriate


documentation is received and a reasonable time for the development of a reasonable
accommodation has been allowed.

12. Accommodations can be made only to known limitations of otherwise qualified students with
disabilities.

C. Temporary Disability

1. Students with temporary disabilities are encouraged to contact the Student Disability Coordinator
to find out what services are available to them. Examples of temporary disabilities include, for
example, a broken arm/leg or a short-term illness or an injury.

D. Additional Sources of Information

1. In addition to these General Guidelines Regarding Disability and Accommodations, additional


information can be obtained by contacting the Student Disability Coordinator.

DRESS CODE

While on school property, students must accept individual responsibility for appropriate dress. Certain items
of dress are not acceptable due to safety reasons, such as shower clogs, flip-flops, etc. Some programs within
the school will require more stringent dress codes for safety and professional reasons.

Students are expected to wear clothing that adequately covers the person and to wear shoes on the school
premises. Clothing must not contain printed matter that may be considered vulgar or offensive. More formal
attire, as announced, may be required for special events or occasions. Students will maintain their own
personal hygiene so as not to be offensive to fellow students and staff.

Each faculty member may set stricter dress and cleanliness requirements related to specific safety and hygiene
factors for the particular class and laboratory setting. (Such requirements will be either posted in each
classroom and laboratory, or included in the course syllabus given to each student at the beginning of the
course.)

Cellular telephones and pagers should be set so they do not interrupt or disrupt regular classroom activities.
Students whose telephones or pagers disrupt class may be asked to leave and may be marked absent.
Repeated violations may lead to disciplinary action. See also “Telephones” contained herein.

Students violating the dress code will be asked to leave school until they are properly dressed and may be
counted absent for the time they are not in class.

24
EMERGENCIES-PERSONAL

The school and administration should be notified immediately of any illness, accident, or hospitalization
affecting any student.

Student messages or telephone calls of an emergency nature received at the school will normally be delivered
to the student during class breaks. In such cases, the caller should give the school the student’s class schedule
so he/she can be more readily located.

The school will not accept student telephone calls, messages and letters of a personal nature. Telephone calls,
messages, etc., of a personal nature must be directed to the student’s home or cell phone. Office phones are
not to be used for personal calls.

Emergency doors are to be used only for emergencies.

FACULTY WORK AREAS

Students are not permitted in the faculty office area or staff lounge unless an instructor escorts them.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT ANNUAL NOTIFICATION

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) affords students certain rights with respect to
their education records. These rights include:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the
school receives a written request for access.

Students should submit to the school Director a written request that identifies the record(s) the student
wishes to inspect. A school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the
time and place where the records may be inspected.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes
are inaccurate or misleading.

A student may request the school to amend an education record the student believes is inaccurate or
misleading. The student must write to the school Director, clearly identify the part of the education
record the student wants changed and specify why the education record is inaccurate or misleading.

If the school decides not to amend the education record as requested by the student, the school will
notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the
student’s request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be
provided to the student when the student is notified by the school of his or her right to a hearing.

3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the


student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without the
student’s consent.

One exception permits the school to disclose personally identifiable information contained in the
student’s education records without the student’s consent to school officials with legitimate
educational interests. A school official is: a person employed by the school in an administrative
supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the

25
school has contracted; a person serving on an advisory board; or a student assisting a school official
in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official
needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her responsibility. Upon request, the
school discloses education records without student consent to officials of other schools at which the
student seeks or intends to enroll or where the student is already enrolled, so long as the disclosure is
for purposes related to the student’s enrollment or transfer.
.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures
by the school to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office
that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W.,
Washington, DC 20202-4605

Directory information (as defined below) in a student’s education records may be unconditionally released by
the school without the student’s consent, unless the student specifically requests in writing that such
information may not be released. The school requires that any such request by the student must (i) specify
what categories of Directory Information are to be withheld and (ii) be delivered to the school Director
within 15 days after the student starts class. Any such request must be renewed annually by the student.
Directory Information means information contained in a student’s education record which would generally
not be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Directory Information includes, but is not
limited to, the student’s: name; address(es); telephone number(s); electronic mail address(es); photograph;
grade level; enrollment status (e.g., full-time or part-time); date and place of birth; program of study;
extracurricular activities; credentials, awards and recognition (i.e., honors) received; last school attended and
dates of attendance; (i.e., enrollment periods(s), not daily attendance record); and student or user ID number
(other than a social security number), but only if the identifier cannot be used to gain access to education
records except when used in conjunction with one or more factors that authenticate the user’s identity which
are known or possessed only by the authorized user.

The school has adopted a detailed Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Policy (AA 9.0), which is
available to the student upon request. See also the School Catalog for additional information about FERPA.

FIRE AND EMERGENCY

Fire and Emergency Drills

Periodically, fire and other emergency drills (earthquake, hurricane, etc.) will be conducted at the school in
order to familiarize on campus students with fire and emergency procedures. Students are expected to
recognize the need for fire and emergency drills and cooperate fully. If you discover a fire or fire hazard,
notify an instructor or staff member immediately. Fire alarm stations are located throughout the building and
will be activated in the event of a fire. All exits are marked and students are expected to leave the building in
a prompt and orderly fashion using these exits. Check the posted exit guide in your classroom or lab. Class
will resume following the all-clear signal.

26
Fire and Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures

As part of ITT Technical Institute’s Fire and Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures, the school
will attempt to immediately contact students and employees via email, phone and other means reasonably
designed to inform students about any immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees
occurring on the campus.

In case of fire and/or other emergency, students must follow the directions of school officials. All rooms have
exit routes designated on the maps posted in each classroom, office, and restroom. Students must follow
directions as given to them by a school-designated official.

NON-DISCRIMINATION AND DIVERSITY

The school is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of
race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender, genetic information or any
other protected status, in employment, educational programs and activities, and admissions. The school also
encourages cultural and ethnic diversity in its faculty, staff, and student body.

In accordance with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and their regulations,
the school does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the educational programs and activities which it
operates, including employment and admissions. The school Director is designated the school’s Title IX
Coordinator to coordinate Title IX compliance.

ONLINE ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION

It is important that all assigned activities be submitted by the due date in all courses. Consequently, activities
submitted after the due date will not receive full credit in the determination of the student’s grade.

For courses scheduled to meet throughout the quarter, activities submitted within one week after the due date
will receive a 10% penalty. This means the score entered for the activity will be reduced by 10% when
entered into the faculty member’s gradebook. A paper submitted up to one week after the scheduled due date
that would have otherwise earned a 100% will receive a score of 90%. For courses scheduled to meet only
the first half or the second half of the quarter, activities submitted up to three days after the due date should
receive a 10% penalty.

For courses scheduled to meet throughout the quarter, activities submitted eight to 14 days late will receive a
20% penalty. A quiz that would have otherwise earned a 75% had it been on time will receive a score of
55%. For courses scheduled to meet only the first half or the second half of the quarter, activities submitted
four to seven days after the due date shall receive a 20% penalty.

Any required activities submitted more than 14 days after the due date for courses scheduled throughout the
quarter or more than seven days after the due date for courses scheduled to meet only part of the quarter may
receive a maximum score of 50%. Faculty members are not required to accept activities submitted more than
14 days after the due date in quarter long courses or more than seven days after the due date for courses
schedule to meet only part of a quarter.

Please note that no late work will be accepted after the last day of the 11th week for full quarter classes and the
last day of the sixth week of classes for courses meeting only part of the quarter.

Each faculty member teaching an online course reserves the right to waive the penalty if the student has
extenuating circumstances, approved in advance by the faculty member, that have led to the submission of

27
required graded activities after the due date.

ORIENTATION AND ONLINE STUDENT PREPARATION

Campus Locations: All students are encouraged to participate in the school’s Orientation Program.

Online Student Preparation: Students entering online courses with ITT Technical Institute for the first time
are automatically enrolled in, and are encouraged to complete, the online “Online Student Preparation”
program prior to or in conjunction with the first online course of their program. Other students may contact
their Program Chair to request access to the “Online Student Preparation” program.

PARKING

There are designated parking spaces for both the school staff and student body. Please use only one space per
vehicle. Parking is not allowed in the driveways.

In order to prevent personal injury and property damage, the speed limit in the parking lot and driveways is 5
MPH. Excessive speed and squealing of tires will result in disciplinary action.

Parking spaces for the disabled are marked and any vehicles parked in these spaces without the appropriate
disabled designation will be towed at the owner’s expense. Visitor parking is permitted in the parking spaces
designated for visitors. Students must not park in the visitors parking area. Unauthorized parking may result
in the vehicle being towed at the owner’s expense and suspension of the individual’s on-campus parking
privileges.

Parking areas must be kept free of trash. Student assistance and cooperation in this regard is both expected
and appreciated.

PERSONAL PROPERTY

The school expressly disclaims all liability and responsibility of every kind and nature whatsoever for any
loss, theft, damage, destruction, or other casualty to any personal property of any kind owned by any student,
visitor, or other. Students are advised and warned they must personally take full and complete responsibility
for safekeeping of all their property on school premises and during any school activities.

The Academic Affairs Department maintains a lost and found. The school will dispose of any items left in
the lost and found over 30 days.

28
RAPE, ACQUAINTANCE RAPE AND OTHER FORCIBLE AND NON-FORCIBLE SEX OFFENSE
PREVENTION

ITT Technical Institute is committed to maintaining an environment supportive of its primary educational
missions and free of exploitation and intimidation. It will not tolerate sexual assault or other forms of non-
consensual sexual activity. This policy is applicable to students, faculty, and staff. The school enforces this
policy through internal disciplinary and grievance procedures and encouragement of external prosecution
through the appropriate local law enforcement officials.

Sex offenses covered under this policy include any sexual act directed against another person forcibly or
against that person’s will where the victim is incapable of giving consent due to his/her youth or temporary or
permanent mental or physical incapacity.

Victims of sex offenses are encouraged to report the offense as soon as possible after the incident. The school
Director can provide information regarding assistance, resources, and options for action available to the
victim. In addition, victims of sex offenses are reminded of their right to report the matter directly to local
law enforcement officials.

Complaints against enrolled students or school employees will be forwarded to the school Director for
resolution. Sanctions may be imposed against students or employees found guilty of sex offenses defined
under the policy are varied and include, without limitation, suspension, or termination from the school for
students, suspension, or termination of employment for employees and referral of the matter to local law
enforcement officials.

The Realities of Rape

In 2000 the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics report on “The Sexual Victimization of
College Women” indicated that:

· Vast majority of sexual victimizations occur in the evening after 6:00 PM;
· 60% of completed rapes occurred on campus at the victim’s residence;
· 70% of victim’s in a attempted rape use physical force against the assailant; and
· 3 in 10 women reported they were injured emotionally or psychologically.

A 2006 National Crime Victimization survey indicated that:

Estimated 272,350 sexual assaults in 2006 against victims age 12 and older;
· 41.6% of sexual assaults were reported to police over the last five (5) years;
· 73% of sexual assaults were committed by someone known to the victim; and
· Every two (2) minutes another American is sexually assaulted.

What is Date Rape?

Date rape, also known as acquaintance rape, is sexual assault- the unlawful, possibly violent sexual
behavior that includes unwanted touching of another person’s vagina, penis or buttocks, or forced penetration
of a genital or anal opening with an object.

Date rape is forced sex, even if the attacker knows the victim and even if the attacker and the victim have
had sex before. The force can be verbal or physical. Some acquaintance rapists use emotional coercion as
well as physical force. Forcing someone to have sex against his/her will, even if the attacker knows the
person, is still rape and it is still a crime.

29
Victims can be male, female, gay, straight, or bisexual. Regardless of poor communication, mixed signals or
body language that contradicts the spoken word, forced sexual conduct or intercourse with a nonconsenting
acquaintance is date rape, and it is a crime.

Why Does it Happen?

Let’s look at sexual stereotyping and how males and females talk to each other.

· Although things are changing, society still frequently encourages men to be competitive and
aggressive and teaches women to be passive and avoid confrontation.

· Men say they misunderstand a woman’s words and actions—the excuse, “She said no, but meant
yes.”

· Some people—men and women alike—still believe that it’s okay for a man to demand sex if he
takes a woman out or buys her gifts, and that it’s not rape if he forces sex on a woman who
previously had sex with him or other men.

· Women also feel that if they’ve previously had sex with a boyfriend who later forces them to
have sex against their will, it may not be considered rape.

Preventing Date Rape

As a woman, you can

· be clear with men in your life about what, if any, sexual behavior you are comfortable with and
keep talking as you get deeper into a relationship.

· not use alcohol or other drugs—they decrease your ability to take care of yourself and make
sensible decisions.

· trust your gut feelings. If a place or the way your date acts makes you nervous or uneasy, leave.
Always take enough money for a phone call for help.

· check out a first date or blind date with friends. Meet in and go to public places. Take public
transportation or drive your own car.

· leave social events with friends not with someone you just met or don’t know well.

· always watch your drink and never leave it unattended. Don’t accept beverages from someone
you don’t know and trust.

As a man, you can

· realize that forcing a woman to have sex against her will is rape, a violent crime with serious
consequences.

· accept a woman’s decision when she says “no.” Don’t see it as a challenge.

· ask yourself how sexual stereotypes affect your attitudes and actions toward women.

30
· not use alcohol and other drugs—it clouds your judgment and understanding of what another person
wants.

· get help if you see men involved in a gang rape.

· understand that if a woman is drunk and you have sex with her against her will, it’s still rape.

· seek counseling or a support group to help you if you feel violent or aggressive toward women.

If Date Rape Happens To You

· Remember that rape is rape. You are not to blame. Know that action against the rapist can prevent
others from becoming victims.

· Get help immediately. Phone the police, a friend, a rape crisis center, a relative. Don’t isolate
yourself, don’t feel guilty or ashamed, and don’t try to ignore it. It is a crime that should be
reported.

· Get medical attention as soon as possible. Do not shower, wash, douche, or change your clothes.
Valuable evidence could be destroyed.

· Get counseling to help you through the recovery process. Rape is a traumatic experience and
trained counselors can make recovery easier and quicker.

· If you think you’ve been sexually assaulted under the influence of a date rape drug, get medical
help immediately. Try not to urinate before providing any urine samples. If possible, collect any
containers from which you drank.

31
SAFETY TIPS

Students can do several things to protect themselves from crime. Many crimes occur only because there is an
opportunity for them to happen. For example, most crimes of burglary and theft are random, not calculated.
They occur because a window is rolled down, valuables are left in plain sight or a vehicle is left unlocked.
The following are some safety tips:

· Walk in well-lit areas;


· Arrange to walk in groups with at least one companion, especially at night;
· Do not carry large sums of cash;
· Avoid less-frequented places when alone, especially at night;
· Be aware how you carry your valuables and don’t leave them unattended;
· If a driver stops to ask for directions, do not get too close to the car and risk being pulled in;
· Do not ignore your intuition; if you suspect you are being followed, change direction or go to a public
area or group of people; and
· If you are being followed while driving, drive to the nearest police station, fire station or a well-lit,
open business where you can safely call the police. Try to get the car’s license number and
description. If no safe areas are near, honk the horn repeatedly and turn on your emergency flashers.

SCHOOL CLOSING DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

The school will issue announcements to local radio and television stations when classes are canceled and the
school closes due to inclement weather. The call letters of such stations will be posted on the student bulletin
board. It is the student’s responsibility to utilize these sources to ascertain any school closing. If in doubt,
call the school. Should the school reschedule a canceled class meeting, all students are expected to attend the
rescheduled meeting and are responsible for material covered during the rescheduled meeting. Students
unable to attend the rescheduled class meeting must arrange to make up the assigned work with the instructor
prior to the rescheduled class meeting.

32
SEXUAL ASSAULT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND OTHER PROHIBITED HARASSMENT
(CALIFORNIA)

It continues to be the policy of ITT Technical Institute that sexual assault or harassment of students or
applicants for admission in any form is unacceptable conduct which will not be tolerated. Sexual assault is
defined in California Education Code Section 94385 to include without limitation, rape, forced sodomy,
forced oral copulation, rape by a foreign object, sexual battery or threat of sexual assault. Sexual harassment
includes unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances or propositions, requests for sexual favors, verbal abuse of a
sexual nature, subtle pressure or request for sexual activities, unnecessary touching of an individual, graphic
verbal commentaries about an individual’s body, sexually degrading words used to describe an individual, a
display in the school of sexually suggestive objects or pictures, sexually explicit or offensive jokes, physical
assault and other verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature. No student, applicant, faculty member
or other employee of ITT Technical Institute shall: (a) sexually assault or harass any student or applicant; or
(b) threaten or insinuate, either explicitly or implicitly, that a student’s or applicant’s refusal to submit to
sexual advances will adversely affect that person’s admission, enrollment, grades, studies or educational
experience at ITT Technical Institute. Similarly, no faculty member or other employee of ITT Technical
Institute shall promise, imply or grant any preferential treatment in connection with any student or applicant
with the intent of rewarding for or engaging in sexual conduct.

Other types of harassment that will not be tolerated include any unwanted or unwelcome words, gestures or
actions of a persistent or offensive nature involving any person’s race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual
orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status. Harassment of this nature also
includes any conduct, whether verbal, visual or physical, relating to or involving a person’s race, religion,
color, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, gender or any other protected status that is
sufficiently pervasive or severe to: (I) unreasonably interfere with a student’s education at the school or a
student’s admission to a program offered by the school; or (II) create an intimidating, hostile or offensive
learning environment for students.

Any student or applicant who feels that he or she is a victim of sexual assault, sexual harassment or other
prohibited harassment (including, but not limited to, any of the conduct listed above) by any student,
applicant, faculty member or other ITT Technical Institute employee, or visitor or invitee of the school in
connection with the educational experience offered by ITT Technical Institute should, as described in the
Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure section, bring the matter to the immediate attention of the school
Director, at the school in which the student is enrolled at the telephone number specified in this catalog. A
student or applicant who is uncomfortable for any reason in bringing such a matter to the attention of the
school Director, or who is not satisfied after bringing the matter to the attention of the school Director, should
report the matter to the Senior Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer, ITT/ESI, telephone (800) 388-3368.
Any questions about this policy or potential sexual assault, sexual harassment or other prohibited harassment
should also be brought to the attention of the same persons.

The school encourages students and ITT Technical Institute employees to promptly and accurately report all
sexual assaults occurring at any of the school’s facilities to the appropriate police agencies. Upon the request
of a sexual assault complainant, the school will: (a) transport the complainant to the hospital or contact
emergency personnel on behalf of the complainant; (b) refer the complainant to a counseling center or an
agency that can make such referral; and (c) notify the police on behalf of the complainant.

ITT Technical Institute will promptly investigate all allegations of sexual assault, sexual harassment or other
prohibited harassment in as confidential a manner as the school deems reasonably possible and take
appropriate corrective action, if warranted. The school will inform the complainant of the results of the
school’s investigation. Sexual assault complainants may, in their discretion, pursue their own remedies
against the alleged perpetrator, whether civilly and/or criminally. The school will assist any student with

33
academic difficulties arising as a direct result of a sexual assault on the student by any ITT Technical Institute
student or employee occurring at any of the school’s facilities.

2. On-Time Graduation Rate – The on-time graduation rate for students who completed the program of study
during the federal award year that began on July 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2010 (“Award Year”). The rate is
calculated by dividing the number of students who completed the program of study within the Normal Time (as
defined below) during the Award Year by the total number of students who completed the program during the
Award Year. “Normal Time” for:

(i) an associate degree program of study is either 7, 8 or 9 consecutive academic quarters depending on
the program(2);
(ii) a bachelor degree program of study is either 14 or 15 consecutive academic quarters depending on the
program(2); and
(iii) a master’s degree program of study is either 6 or 7 consecutive academic quarters depending on the
program(2).

The Normal Time is not affected by any credits that a student may transfer into, or test out of, his or her
program of study. The Normal Time of a new program of study to which a student transfers at the institution
begins on the date that the student began attending the program of study at the institution from which he or she
transferred.

The placement rate is calculated based on the methodology required by the Accrediting Council for Independent
Colleges and Schools, which is ITT Technical Institute’s accrediting agency. To calculate the placement rate,
the total number of student who completed the program of study within the Placement Year and obtained
employment by September 15th following the end of the Placement Year in a position that requires a direct or
indirect use of skills taught in the program of study is divided by the total number of students who completed
the program of study within the Placement Year, less those students who were unavailable for placement.
Employment includes positions obtained prior to enrolling in the program of study, while enrolled in the
program of study or after completing the program of study. Completers of the program of study who were
unavailable for placement include those students who:

 were pregnant, died or suffered other health-related conditions that prevented them from working;
 continued their education;
 were engaged in active U.S. military service;
 moved out of the United States with a spouse or parent who was engaged in active military service;
and
 possessed visas that did not prevent them to work in the United States following completion.

The employment obtained by the students who completed the program is based on information reported to ITT
Technical Institute by the students or their employers.

5. Median Loan Debt – The median loan debt incurred by students who completed the program of study during
the Award Year includes the median amount of the Title IV Program loans and private education loans that ITT
Technical Institute knows that those students received and the median amount that those students were
obligated to repay under institutional financing plans upon completing the program of study, as follows:

___________
(1) For the purpose of disclosing the program of study information contained herein, the U.S. Department of
Education’s Dear Colleague Letter GEN-11-10 requires all programs of study that have the same six digit
Classification of Institutional Program code and credential level to be combined and reported as one program.
Not all associate’s degree programs of study are offered at all ITT Technical Institute locations. Not
all ITT Technical Institute locations offer bachelor’s degree programs of study and not all bachelor’s degree
programs of study are offered at all ITT Technical Institute locations that offer bachelor’s degree programs.
The master’s degree program in business administration is an online program of study. Please refer to the
Curricula section of the school catalog of the particular ITT Technical Institute location for a complete listing
of the programs of study offered at that ITT Technical Institute location and the method of delivery for each
of those programs (i.e., taught in residence at the ITT Technical Institute location, online over the Internet as
a distance education program or partially in residence and partially online).
All online programs of study are offered through the ITT Technical Institute location at 9511 Angola
Court, Indianapolis, IN 46268 (IN AC-0148 OH Reg. No 01-12-1614T).
The associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs of study in criminal justice may not qualify a graduate
for a career in law enforcement involving employment as a police officer or agent by many federal, state,
county, local or municipal authorities. An applicant must contact the applicable governmental authority prior
to beginning a criminal justice program of study to determine if there are any specific requirements and/or

61
qualifications that a candidate must satisfy to be eligible for employment as a police officer or agent by that
authority. Those requirements and/or qualifications may include, among other things, that a candidate must:
(a) successfully complete an academy or other specialized training; (b) be younger than a certain age; (c) pass
a physical, mental and/or personality examination; (d) pass a background check; (e) not have a criminal
record; (f) be a graduate from an institution that is regionally accredited (as opposed to nationally accredited,
such as ITT Technical Institute); (g) complete a certain number of credit hours or a certain type of degree
program at an accredited postsecondary educational institution; (h) have served a certain number of years in
the military; (i) have a certain number of years of prior law enforcement experience; (j) be a U.S. citizen
and/or a resident of the governmental authority’s jurisdiction; (k) have earned a bachelor or graduate degree
in certain areas of study; and/or (l) have a valid driver’s license.

(3) This is an estimate of the total tuition that will be charged for a student to complete the program of study
within the Normal Time of that program of study. This assumes that the student will:
 begin the program of study in the Fall academic quarter in 2011;
 take a full-time course load each academic quarter until the student graduates from the program of
study, unless the number of credits required to graduate from the program in the student’s last
academic quarter of attendance is less than a full-time course load, in which case the student is
assumed to take all of the courses containing all of the remaining credits required to graduate during
that last academic quarter;
 not transfer in, or test out of, any credits;
 successfully complete each course in the program of study and make satisfactory academic progress
through graduation from the program of study; and
 take only those courses required to graduate from the program of study and not repeat, withdraw
from or fail any of those courses.
The ITT Technical Institute may, at any time in its discretion, revise the curriculum content of the
program of study or any course in the program of study and change the number of credit hours in the program
of study or in any course in the program of study. The tuition for each program course that a student is
registered to take from the ITT Technical Institute is determined by multiplying the tuition per credit hour by
the number of credit hours in the program course. The tuition for each academic quarter in which a student is
enrolled in a program of study offered by ITT Technical Institute is determined by multiplying the tuition per
credit hour by the total number of credit hours in all of the program courses that the student is registered to
take during the academic quarter. The tuition for the entire program of study in which a student is enrolled is
determined by multiplying the tuition per credit hour by the total number of credit hours in all of the courses
in that program of study. The tuition for all of the credit hours in all of the program courses that a student is
registered to take from ITT Technical Institute during an academic quarter is due and payable by the student
to ITT Technical Institute on the first day of that quarter. The ITT Technical Institute at most locations may,
at any time and from time to time in its discretion, increase the tuition per credit hour charged to students for

63
courses in any program of study offered by ITT Technical Institute by publishing the higher tuition per credit
hour in the school catalog at least 60 days before the effective date of the increase. Please refer to the
Tuition, Fees and Tools section of the school catalog of the particular ITT Technical Institute location for
information regarding adjustments to the tuition per credit hour at that ITT Technical Institute location. A
student will be obligated to pay ITT Technical Institute the higher tuition per credit hour with respect to any
program course that (a) the student is registered to take from ITT Technical Institute and (b) begins after the
effective date of the increase. Students should expect the school to increase, at least once during any calendar
year, the tuition per credit hour charged for program courses offered by ITT Technical Institute. The
estimated tuition assumes that a student will begin the program of study in the Fall academic quarter in 2011
and will take three courses in each of the:
 first and second academic quarters at the tuition per credit hour of $493 for in residence programs
and $426 for online programs (4);
 third through sixth academic quarters at the estimated tuition per credit hour of $518 for in residence
programs and $447 for online programs (4);
 seventh through tenth academic quarters at the estimated tuition per credit hour of $544 for in
residence programs and $469 for online programs (4);
 eleventh through fourteenth academic quarters at the estimated tuition per credit hour of $571 for in
residence programs and $492 for online programs (4); and
 fifteenth academic quarter at the estimated tuition per credit hour of $600 for in residence programs
and $517 for online programs (4).

(4) This is an estimate of the total fees that will be charged for a student to complete the program of study within
the Normal Time of the program of study at most ITT Technical Institute locations. This assumes that the
student does not withdraw from his or her program of study. The fees charged in each program as of July 1,
2011, at each ITT Technical Institute location are set forth in the following table:

Type of Fee

Master’s Degree Programs


All Locations $200.00 $100.00 $ 0.00 $300.00

The Academic Fee is due and payable by the student to ITT Technical Institute on the student’s first day of
recorded attendance in any program course following the student’s enrollment in a program of study offered
by ITT Technical Institute. The Administrative Fee is due and payable by the student to ITT Technical
Institute immediately upon the termination of the student’s enrollment in the program of study.

(5) A STRF Fee is assessed against each student attending an ITT Technical Institute location in California each
academic quarter, based on (a) the amount of tuition and any other fees charged to the student in that

64
academic quarter and (b) the cost of any tools that the student purchases from ITT Technical Institute for any
program course that the student is registered to take in that academic quarter. The amount of the STRF Fee is
$2.50 per $1,000 of program costs (rounded to the nearest $1,000) charged to the student in that academic
quarter. The estimated amount of the STRF fee for each program is based on the same assumptions that were
used to determine the cost of tuition, other fees and tools. The student will pay ITT Technical Institute the
STRF Fee assessed against the student each quarter on the first day of scheduled instruction in any program
course that the student is registered to take in that academic quarter.

(6) This is an estimate of the cost, as of July 1, 2011, of the tools required for the program of study, if purchased
from ITT Technical Institute. The actual use of, and instruction regarding, the tools in any program course
may vary depending on the program course and any changes thereto, the faculty member teaching the
program course and the student’s progress in the program course. This amount assumes that the courses that
the student chooses to take to satisfy any unspecified core course requirements in the program of study do not
require the purchase of any tools for use in those courses. The estimated cost of those tools is subject to
change by ITT Technical Institute at any time. No student is obligated to purchase any tools from ITT
Technical Institute. Any tools that a student purchases from ITT Technical Institute are unreturnable and the
cost is nonrefundable, except as expressly specified in the Return of Tools section in the particular school
catalog of the ITT Technical Institute location attended by the student. The cost of any tools that a student
purchases from ITT Technical Institute is due and payable by the student to ITT Technical Institute upon the
student’s receipt of those tools.

N/A means not applicable.

N/G means there were no graduates of the program during the Award Year.

N/R/R means the Normal Time for the program of study had not expired during the Award Year, so there is no
reportable rate.

by CAHIIM by the time you graduate from the HIT program, you will not be allowed to take the
Certification Exam to become an RHIT, unless and until such time as the HIT program becomes
accredited by CAHIIM and you were a student in the HIT program during its candidacy for CAHIIM
accreditation.

The school is seeking accreditation of the HIT program by CAHIIM, but the school has not and cannot
make any promise or representation whatsoever to you:

 That the HIT program will ever become accredited by CAHIIM;

 That you will ever be able to take the Certification Exam or become an RHIT upon your
graduation from the HIT program; or

 That you will pass the Certification Exam, even if you are allowed to take it upon graduation
from the HIT program.

Mission, Philosophy and Framework

Mission: The mission of the ITT Technical Institute's Associate Degree, Nursing program is the
education of individuals from diverse backgrounds to be well-prepared registered nurses who can
provide competent care in a variety of ever-changing health care settings. Within the program, a
learner-centered environment of mutual respect promotes individuals to grow intellectually and
personally through the integration of theoretical concepts, values and nursing knowledge in
classroom learning activities and clinical experiences. Individual accountability as a member of
the nursing profession and commitment to life-long learning and community service are graduate
expectations.

Philosophy: The philosophy of the Associate Degree, Nursing program represents the faculty’s
beliefs concerning the Nursing Paradigm: Nursing, Person, Environment, Health and Learning.

 Nursing: Nursing is both an art and a science, the interactions of which make nursing unique.
Nursing values guide the provision of compassionate nursing care in all settings. Nursing, as an
evidenced-based practice, is organized and directed by the use of the Nursing Process, a critical
thinking, problem solving, decision tool for directing competent nursing care. The goal of
nursing care is health promotion and maintenance for optimal living. Nursing is dynamic and
requires critical thinking, therapeutic communication skills and competent technical abilities in
the application of evidence-based practice. Nursing knowledge has its foundations in concepts
and principles from the humanities, and the social, behavioral, physical and biological sciences.
Professional nursing care is guided by the American Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for
Nurses, professional standards of practice and state and national regulatory standards.

 Person: Individuals are unique, have innate value and are worthy of respect. All individuals
have physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs through differing levels of growth and life
span development. Each individual has rights, interests and goals which must be considered in
care plan development and the provision of nursing care. Each person is part of a social structure,
which may be a family, a group or a community.

 Environment: The environment includes both external and internal elements. The external
environment in which the individual functions includes family, groups and communities. Family
consists of the individual's immediate support system and may be by either choice or contract.
Physical aspects of shelter and food, along with economic, political, cultural and spiritual
influences, are part of the external environment. By contrast, the internal environment includes
the individual's unique life experiences and perceptions, including their spiritual and cultural
beliefs. Physiologic processes affected by stress and adaptation are also part of the internal
environment. Both the external and internal environments influence individual responses to
nursing care.

 Health: Health is a dynamic state, defined by each person in relation to personal values, beliefs,
feelings and needs. Health is on a continuum from wellness to illness to death, where health
promotion and maintenance for optimal living are the goals of nursing care.

 Learning: Learning is a life-long pursuit of the acquisition of knowledge and includes the
development of critical thinking abilities, competent skill development and behavioral and
attitudinal changes. Learning is influenced by individual experiences and previous knowledge
attainment. Students are diverse individuals with differing learning needs and styles. The nurse
educator provides an environment of mutual respect conducive to learning and serves as a
facilitator and role model. This is accomplished through the establishment of clearly defined
objectives, expectations and practice experiences, and through role socialization. The learning
process includes effective teacher and learner communications and interactions where both have
responsibilities for goal attainment.

Framework: Education in the Associate Degree, Nursing program is achieved through a curriculum
based on the program's Mission and Philosophy. The philosophical concepts of Nursing, Person,
Environment, Health and Learning are organized within an eclectic framework. The framework
includes the curricular components of Nursing Values, Nursing Process, Health Promotion and
Maintenance, Nursing Roles, Therapeutic Communication Skills and Competent Nursing Care. The
framework structures the curricular content, guides the selection of learning experiences and provides
the basis for program as well as course objectives.

The curricular organizational framework includes both pervasive and progressive concepts. Pervasive
concepts are introduced at the beginning of the curriculum and continue in all areas of the program. They
are Nursing Values, Nursing Process, and Health Promotion & Maintenance. Progressive concepts build
throughout the program from simple to complex. They are Nursing Roles, Therapeutic Communication
Skills and Competent Nursing Care.

 Nursing Values: Nursing values guide the provision of compassionate nursing care in all
environments. Values include caring, human dignity, autonomy, integrity, accountability,
advocacy and ethical behavior. Nursing values are inherent in the American Nurses
Association’s Code of Ethics for Nurses and professional standards of practice. Nursing values
include the demonstration of caring behaviors, active participation in the profession, a
commitment to life-long learning and involvement in community service. The nursing faculty
member serves as a role model for the development and internalization of nursing values.

 Nursing Process: Nursing process is a critical thinking, problem solving decision tool for
directing competent nursing care in all settings. As part of the process, critical thinking is the
development, execution and implementation of nursing judgments based on sound clinical
reasoning. Those judgments are demonstrated by analysis of assessment data, formulation of
nursing diagnoses, establishment of goals, and the planning, implementation and evaluation of
competent nursing care.

 Health Promotion & Maintenance: Health promotion and maintenance for optimal living is
accomplished through healthy lifestyles implementation, illness prevention, disease management,
pain alleviation and/or supporting a dignified death. Teaching individuals, families, groups and
communities to promote and maintain health is a nursing responsibility and inherent in the
development of continuity of care strategies.

 Nursing Roles: Nursing roles are Provider of Care, Manager of Care, and Member of the
Profession. These roles are interrelated and include components essential for entry-level
registered nurses. The nurse as a provider of care begins by learning the fundamentals and skills
of direct patient care. The individual then continues knowledge and skill acquisition in the
provider role through the application of the nursing process with diverse patient populations from
across the life span. Always within the provider role is the application of teaching-learning
principles for health promotion and maintenance.

The nurse, as a Manager of Care, coordinates health care interventions with members of an
interdisciplinary team. The team includes not only the nurse but the patient, the patient’s family
and other health care providers. Within the role of Manager of Care, the nurse delegates routine
technical functions to ancillary personnel but continues to assume patient care accountability and
responsibility. Managing care involves collaboration, mutual respect and the efficient use of
human, physical, financial and technological resources to meet patient needs.

The nurse, as a Member of the Profession, demonstrates accountability and responsibility for
competent nursing care and internalizes professional commitment. Life-long learning and
professional development are expectations due to continually changing health care technologies
and settings. Decisions are made and actions taken that are consistent with ethical, professional
and regulatory standards.

 Therapeutic Communication Skills: Communication in nursing is a process where information


is exchanged either verbally, nonverbally, in writing or through information technology.
Therapeutic communication is a process where nurse-patient interactions promote coping and
adaptation strategies, healthy interpersonal relationships and the development of new knowledge
and skills. Communication techniques are used to collaborate with individuals, families, groups,
communities and members of the health care team in assessing, planning, implementing,
evaluating and reporting nursing care.

 Competent Nursing Care: Competent nursing care means the integration of essential
knowledge, skills, techniques and judgments to safely and effectively function within the roles of
the Associate in Science, Nursing graduate: that of Provider of Care, Manager of Care and
Member of the Profession. As an evidence-based practice, competent nursing care requires the
integration of theoretical knowledge and technical skill application. Competent nursing care is
consistent with ethical, professional and regulatory standards.
ACADEMIC POLICIES

CLINICAL ATTENDANCE

Punctual and regular attendance at clinical is mandatory. The following policies apply: An absence must
be reported to the appropriate faculty member no later than one hour prior to the start of the clinical.
Students are to follow specific course syllabi for proper notification of course faculty. A student who
does not properly notify the faculty and does not come to clinical (no call no show) will receive a failure
for the course unless suitable documentation is provided. Any student absent from clinical more than
once, will not be allowed to continue in the course and will be withdrawn. Please see a current ITT
Technical Institute catalog for steps on withdrawing from a course.

Tardiness is defined as being late by five minutes or more. Being tardy two times will constitute a
clinical absence. Clinical days missed due to administrative closure and/or inclement weather will be
made up at time and dates determined by the faculty.

CLINICAL PLACEMENT/ASSIGNMENT

Multiple clinical facilities are used for the education of nursing students in an associate degree program
through the application of the nursing process across the spectrum of health care settings and populations.
Dates and times for clinical assignments are determined by school nursing program faculty based on
clinical site availability. Students will not be placed on a clinical unit where they are currently employed.

AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION’S CODE OF ETHICS FOR NURSES

The student is expected to adhere to the American Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for Nurses and act
in accordance with the Patient’s Bill of Rights. The Code of Ethics for Nurses can be found at:

http://nursingworld.org/ethics/code/protected_nwcoe813.htm

Confidentiality is the protection of a patient’s privacy through careful use of oral and written
communications and by judicious protection of private health care information. The student is expected
to protect patient information consistent with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. Patient health care information is confidential and cannot be
disclosed to other individuals or groups without prior consent.

A patient’s chart is a legal document. All entries must be legible and accurate. Information
communicated by patients to students may not be repeated except to nursing faculty, who has the
prerogative to advise the student to share the information with the appropriate staff. Care should be taken
when in corridors, lounges, classrooms or other public areas, so that conversations are not overheard.

Students must use only the patient’s initials when completing coursework, such as care plans. Under no
circumstances is the student allowed to remove or photocopy any chart documents. Any violation of
patient confidentiality may result in dismissal from the program.

DRESS CODE

Students are to wear the official ITT Technical Institute uniform during clinicals. The uniform should be
clean, neatly ironed and in good repair. If the female student chooses to wear a dress or skirt, the length is
to be no shorter than the bottom of the knee. Shoes are to be all white. Cloth/canvas shoes are
unacceptable. Name badges are to be worn at all times while at the clinical site. There may be additional
uniform requirements at your location. Please see the Program Chair of Nursing for further information.

DRUG TESTING AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

The ITT Technical Institute School of Health Sciences is committed to providing a safe learning
environment and fostering the well being and health of its employees and students. That commitment is
jeopardized when any student uses illegal drugs or other substances, is intoxicated with illegal drugs,
other substances or alcohol during any classroom, laboratory or clinical portion of any program of study
offered by ITT Technical Institute, or possesses, distributes or uses illegal drugs or alcohol on ITT
Technical Institute premises or at any events or activities sponsored or organized by ITT Technical
Institute, including, without limitation, any clinical that is part of the student’s program of study.

Prior to the start of any portion of the clinical at any medical care facility, students may be required to
consent to and pass drug/alcohol testing, physical examination and background check. The student may
also be required to document that he/she is free from any contagious diseases and/or have been
immunized against certain illnesses and diseases. The physical examination needs to demonstrate that the
student is physically fit to perform essential nursing tasks as determined by the medical care facility. The
background check(s) may include, but not be limited to, an investigation regarding whether:

(a) The student is on any federal list of excluded individuals;

(b) The student is registered as a sex offender; and

(c) The criminal history of the student which raises reasonable questions as to the student’s
ability to provide safe and competent patient care.

Questions about the student’s ability to provide safe and competent patient care may arise if the student
has a criminal background that involved:

(i) Abuse, neglect, assault, battery, criminal sexual conduct; and

(ii) Any fraud or theft against a vulnerable adult within ten years of the student’s admission
to the program.

Prior to the clinical, students in the Nursing program that test positive to the drug screen are not permitted
to progress and are immediately dismissed from the program. Readmission after a positive drug test will
require three negative screens in the preceding year. Retesting will be at the student’s expense. Records
of drug screening results will be maintained in the student’s permanent file.

If an acute medical condition arises while a student is enrolled in the Nursing program, a written
statement must also be obtained by the student from their health care provider which states the student’s
ability to perform the following activities without restriction: moving, lifting and transferring patients.
The above requirement also pertains to pregnancy. Students are responsible for their own medical care.

Before any student is assigned to any medical care facility for any portion of the clinical, the student
must:

(a) have completed all prerequisites for taking that portion of the clinical;

(b) be making satisfactory academic progress in the program;


(c) have obtained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association for healthcare providers
within the past 12 months; and

(d) have completed training (and have documentation evidencing that training) on:

(i) universal precautions and infection control;


(ii) fire safety;
(iii) disaster safety;
(iv) protected health information and the Privacy Rule under the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act; and
(v) any HIV/AIDS training required by state law.

DRUG TESTING “FOR CAUSE”:

(a) If, during a student’s clinical or laboratory experience, a faculty or clinical instructor perceives
the odor of alcohol on the student or observes behaviors by the student such as, but not limited to,
slurred speech, unsteady gait, or confusion, and these or other behaviors cause the faculty or
clinical instructor to suspect the student is impaired by alcohol or drugs, the following steps will
be taken:
(i) The instructor will remove the student from the patient care or assigned work area and
notify the clinical agency supervising personnel;
(ii) The student will be required to undergo “For Cause” drug testing;
(iii) The instructor will contact a transportation service and arrange for student transport to
a designated medical service facility contracted for drug and alcohol testing services;
(iv) After testing, the student may call the transportation service for transport home; and
(v) If the student admits to alcohol or drug use, he/she will still require drug testing for
purposes of documentation.

(b) If the results of the test(s) are negative for alcohol or drugs, other illegal substances, or for non-
prescribed legal substances, the student will meet with the Program Chair within 24 hours of
receipt of the test results to discuss the circumstances surrounding the impaired clinical behavior.
Based on the information provided and any warranted further medical evaluations, the Program
Chair will make a decision regarding the student’s return to the clinical setting.

(c) If the results of the test(s) are positive for alcohol or drugs, or other illegal substances or for non-
prescribed legal substances, the student’s enrollment in the program will be immediately
terminated. The student will pay for all costs associated with the “For Cause” drug testing.

(d) If a student refuses “For Cause” drug testing:


(i) The instructor will remove the student from the clinical setting pending a full
investigation;
(ii) The instructor will contact a transportation service to request that the student be
transported home; and
(iii) Enrollment in the program will be immediately terminated.

(e) State regulations may require the school to report the incident to a state regulatory body.
READMISSION TO THE NURSING PROGRAM RELATED TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE

(a) Readmission after a positive drug or alcohol test will require at least three negative tests in a
designated period of time not less than the preceding academic quarter, or as required by state
law. Retesting will be at the student’s expense.

(b) Students seeking readmission to the program must:


(i) Submit a letter requesting readmission to the program of study.
(ii) Provide evidence of a minimum of three negative random drug/alcohol tests in a
designated period of time not less than the preceding academic quarter, or as required by
state law, with retesting to be conducted at the student’s expense;
(iii) Repeat and pass a drug/alcohol test immediately prior to his/her readmission; and
(iv) Include documentation from a therapist specializing in addiction behaviors evidencing
compliance with a treatment program, including a statement that the student will be able
to function effectively and provide safe and ethical care for clients in a clinical setting, if
such documentation is either required by the state or deemed appropriate by the Program
Chair in his/her discretion for the safety of patients and the public.

(c) If a student, after being readmitted to program, has any positive result on an alcohol/drug test, the
student will be permanently terminated from the program.

MIDPROGRAM EXAMINATION

Students are required to take a Mid-Curricular HESI Examination. Upon examination completion, a
customized remediation plan is provided by HESI for each student. The purpose of the examination is to
assess the student’s development of knowledge and skills, provide feedback to the student, and promote
preparation for the Exit HESI Examination and the NCLEX licensure exam. The student’s score on the
Mid-Curricular HESI Examination will not affect the student’s progression in the program.

NURSING CONDUCT/CODE OF CONDUCT

Students are bound by the Conduct section in the ITT Technical Institute school catalog. In addition, the
Nursing program is subject to the following policy related to safe and ethical Nursing practice:

Certain behaviors are essential for safe and ethical nursing practice. A non-exclusive list of violations of
such practice is defined below, so that each nursing student may be aware of the seriousness of his/her
actions. Unsafe or unethical practice may result in a clinical failure, suspension and/or dismissal from the
program. Unsafe or unethical nursing practice may be evidenced by one or more of the following
behaviors:

1. Performing activities/skills for which the student is not prepared or which are beyond the
capacities of the student.

2. Performing activities/skills which do not fall within the legal realm of professional nursing
practice.

3. Recording or reporting inaccurate data regarding patient assessment, care plans, nursing
interventions, and/or patient evaluations.

4. Failing to recognize and/or report and record one’s own errors (incidents) performed in relation to
patient care.

5. Having physical, mental, and/or cognitive limitations which endanger or impair the welfare of the
patient and/or others.

6. Disclosing confidential or private information inappropriately (See Confidentiality section).

7. Behaving in a disrespectful manner toward patients and/or other health care team members.

8. Attending class or clinical experiences under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including
prescriptive medications which impair performance.

9. Engaging in acts or omissions which result in violation of laws related to negligence, malpractice,
libel, slander, etc.

The following measures may be taken by the clinical faculty member if a nursing student demonstrates an
unsafe and unethical nursing practice as defined above:

1. Immediate dismissal from the clinical area.

2. Assignment of additional learning activities to assist the student to meet the clinical objectives.

3. Provide written list of criteria and/or activities that the student must meet or complete in order to
change unsafe or unethical behaviors.

4. Suspension from the clinical area if the student repeats the unsafe or unethical nursing activity.
Suspension will result in failure of the clinical component of the nursing course.

Any nursing student who demonstrates extreme unsafe or unethical behavior in the clinical area will be
subject to immediate dismissal from the program. Examples of extreme unsafe or unethical behavior
includes, but are not limited to, intentionally or recklessly jeopardizing patient safety, intentionally or
recklessly causing physical harm to a patient, and abusing a patient. Abuse of a patient occurs when the
misuse of power or betrayal of trust, respect, or intimacy causes or is likely to cause physical, mental,
emotional, or financial harm to a patient.

NURSING LAB SAFETY GUIDELINES

There are many pieces of equipment that students will be handling while in the nursing skills laboratory.
Students should be sure they have been oriented to the proper use of lab equipment prior to use.
(Example: controls on electronic beds, side rails, wheelchairs, suction machines). If a piece of equipment
is unfamiliar, always wait for instructions from the faculty member before handling. If a student has been
introduced to the equipment and is unsure of how to operate it, always ask the faculty member before
using. If the student needs different or additional equipment, ask the faculty member to obtain the
required supplies. Do not open cupboards/drawers without permission. Students should not be using lab
facilities or equipment without checking in with the faculty member.

During the time that students are practicing with needles and syringes, please remember that for the safety
of all, no equipment is to leave the lab area. Great care should be taken during practice to protect oneself
from needle punctures. Should a needle puncture happen, report it immediately to the faculty member.
The equipment used should be immediately discarded in the appropriate container.
At the end of the practice session in the lab, students are to dispose of waste material appropriately.
Leave the workspace clear of debris, clean and orderly. Children are not allowed in the lab at any time.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION/SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Students are required to sign a statement releasing their social security number to clinical facilities as
requested.

REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSURE

Upon graduation from the Nursing program graduates are eligible to make application to the National
Council of State Boards of Nursing (“NCSBN”) National Council Licensure Examination for Registered
Nurses (“NCLEX-RN”). Passage of the NCLEX-RN is dependent on the graduate’s preparation and ITT
Technical Institute does not promise or represent that any graduates of the program will pass the NCLEX-
RN. To receive a license to practice as a registered nurse, a graduate must pass the NCLEX-RN and meet
the criteria specific to the state.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

In addition to following the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy that is outlined in the School Catalog,
nursing students receiving a grade of less than a “C” in any two nursing courses will be automatically
dismissed from the nursing program. The student may appeal the dismissal decision to the Dean,
following the appeal process outlined in the Catalog.

SKILL RETURN DEMONSTRATION

Students will be provided with opportunities to successfully return demonstrated critical skills. Students
must pass the return demonstrations according to current required criteria.

SKILL RETURN DEMONSTRATION DEADLINE

Skill return demonstration deadlines will be announced during the applicable courses in the program.

STUDENT NURSE ORGANIZATIONS

Students in the Nursing Program may have the opportunity to join the State Student Nurses Association
and/or the National Student Nurses Association www.nsna.org and the Chapter established at ITT
Technical Institute. A nursing faculty member will serve as the Faculty Sponsor for the ITT Technical
Institute local Chapter. Dues are the responsibility of the student.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

The typical physical demands of a student participating in the clinical require a full range of body
motions, including handling and lifting patients, manual and finger dexterity, and eye-hand coordination.
The clinical usually involves standing and walking for extensive periods of time and the occasional lifting
and carrying of items weighing up to 50 pounds. The clinical requires corrected vision and hearing to
normal range. The student must be able to react calmly and effectively in emergency situations and have
the ability to establish and maintain effective relationships with patients, the staff of the medical care
facility, the public and other students.

If the student has a physical, mental or sensory condition which could affect his or her ability to
participate fully in the clinical or any other portion of the program, or to perform the essential duties and
responsibilities typically associated with the clinical, then it is the student’s responsibility to timely notify
the instructor to discuss any reasonable accommodation or modification that may be available.

UNSATISFACTORY CLINICAL PERFORMANCE

Unsatisfactory behavior may consist of, but not be restricted to the following. If the student is:

1. Consistently late;
2. Absent, and time is not made up;
3. Non-compliant with uniform code requirements;
4. Not prepared to meet the laboratory objectives for that day;
5. Not prepared to meet the clinical objectives for that day;
6. Inappropriate in applying safety measures;
7. Consistently inappropriate in decision making;
8. Not compliant in assignment completion; and
9. Inappropriate in communication with patients, their families, and staff.

Any student whose performance is evaluated as being unable to meet the objectives of the course will fail
the course. Any student who is determined to be failing a clinical may not continue in the clinical or
classroom component of the course.
