REMOVED: Everest does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship status, gender identity or status, veteran or marital status in the administration of its educational and admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, or other school-administered programs. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended and Section 504, Everest provides qualified applicants and students who have disabilities with reasonable accommodations that do not impose undue hardship.

■ ADDENDUM, effective October 1, 2014: The following language has been updated under Administrative Policies section on page 26 of the catalog. ADDED: DISCRIMINATION GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES A student initiates the Discrimination Grievance Procedure by contacting the Section 504/ADA Coordinator for disability-related complaints, or the Campus President for all other complaints alleging discrimination carried out by employees, other students, or third parties. The Section 504/ADA Coordinator and Campus President can be reached at the campus contact information located in this catalog. A student’s participation in any informal resolution procedures is voluntary and he/she may pursue this formal grievance procedure at any time. The Section 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President or his/her designee will explain the complaint procedures and assist the student in filing a complaint. The complaint need only be a written letter containing allegations that specifically identify the discriminatory conduct, the person(s) who did it, and all witnesses the student believes can support the allegations. A complaint should be made as soon as the student believes he/she has been discriminated against, but no later than within 180 days of the date that the alleged discrimination occurred, or the date on which the student could reasonably have learned of the discrimination. When a complaint is filed, the Section 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President or his/her designee begins an investigation within 14 days. The student, the accused, and any witnesses they identify are interviewed. Any relevant documents identified by these persons are reviewed. Within 45 days of the complaint, the Section 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President or his/her designee will inform the student and accused in writing of sufficient or insufficient evidence to confirm the student’s allegations, state the key facts, reasons why that conclusion was reached, and outline any proposed resolution or corrective action if applicable, subject to any applicable privacy constraints. The student is also notified of the right to appeal the investigation conclusion. An appeal must be made in writing to the CCi Director of Academic Services, who may be reached at the Student Help Line number or email address below within 15 days of receiving notice about the investigation conclusion. Within 15 days of receiving the appeal, the CCi Director of Academic Services will review the matter and provide a decision in writing. Complaints are investigated in a manner that protects the privacy and confidentiality of the parties to the extent possible. No employee or agent of the School may intimidate, threaten, coerce or otherwise discriminate or retaliate against any individual because he or she has filed a complaint or participated in the complaint resolution process. If a student believes any such retaliation has occurred, a complaint of retaliation should be filed according to the procedure described above. Everest makes every effort to prevent recurrence of any finding of discrimination and corrects any discriminatory effects on the grievant and others, if appropriate. If the 504/ADA Coordinator or Campus President is the subject of the grievance, the student should contact the Student Services Manager at the Student Help Line at (800) 874-0255 or via email at [email protected]. The Student Helpline in consultation with the appropriate Academic Services team member(s) will provide guidance to the student for initiating and submitting their grievance in writing to [email protected]. REMOVED: DISABILITY GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES A student initiates the Disability Grievance Procedure by contacting the Section 504/ADA Coordinator. The Section 504/ADA Coordinator will explain the complaint procedures and assist the student in filing a complaint. The complaint need only be a written letter containing allegations that specifically identify the discriminatory conduct, the person(s) who did it, and all witnesses the student believes can support the allegations. A complaint should be made as soon as the student believes he/she has been discriminated against, but no later than within 180 days of the date that the alleged discrimination occurred, or the date on which the student could reasonably have learned of the discrimination. 9 Everest College Arlington (Mid-Cities), Dallas, Ft. Worth North and Ft. Worth South Catalog Revision Date 02/11/15 Addenda

When a complaint is filed, the Section 504/ADA Coordinator begins an investigation within 14 days. The student, the accused, and any witnesses they identify are interviewed. Any relevant documents identified by these persons are reviewed. Within 45 days of the complaint, the Section 504/ADA Coordinator informs the student and accused in writing of sufficient or insufficient evidence to confirm the student’s allegations, states the key facts, reasons why that conclusion was reached, and outlines any proposed resolution or corrective action if applicable. The student is also notified of the right to appeal the investigation conclusion. An appeal must be made in writing to the CCi Director of Academic Services, who may be reached at the Student Help Line number or email address below within 15 days of receiving notice about the investigation conclusion. Within 15 days of receiving the appeal, the CCi Director of Academic Services reviews the matter and provides a decision in writing. Complaints are investigated in a manner that protects the privacy and confidentiality of the parties to the extent possible. No employee or agent of the school may intimidate, threaten, coerce or otherwise discriminate or retaliate against any individual because he or she has filed a complaint or participated in the complaint resolution process. If a student believes any such retaliation has occurred, a complaint of retaliation should be filed according to the procedure described above. If the 504/ADA Coordinator is the subject of the grievance, the student should contact the Student Help Line at (800) 874-0255 or via email at [email protected]. The Student Helpline in consultation with the appropriate Academic Services team member(s) will provide guidance to the student for initiating and submitting their grievance in writing to [email protected].

■ ADDENDUM, effective October 2, 2014: The Dream Award Program and Scholarships language has been removed from the catalog.

■ ADDENDUM, Effective October 2, 2014: The following language has been added to the catalog for Mid-Cities and Fort Worth South campus. Effective September 28, 2014, the school is voluntarily withdrawing the ABHES accreditation for its Medical Assistant Program.

■ ADDENDUM, effective April 9, 2014: The following Refund language has been updated in the catalog. Institutional Pro Rata Refund Calculation and Policy When a student withdraws, The School must determine how much of the tuition and fees he/she is eligible to retain. The Pro Rata Refund Calculation and Policy is an institutional policy and is different from the Federal Financial Aid Return Policy and Return calculation; therefore, after both calculations are applied, a student may owe a debit balance (i.e. the student incurred more charges than he/she earned Title IV funds) to The School. The School will perform the Pro Rata Refund Calculation for those students who terminate their training before completing the period of enrollment (i.e., students who receive a final grade of “W” or “WZ”). Under the Pro Rata Refund Calculation, The School is entitled to retain only the percentage of charges (tuition, room, board, etc.) proportional to the period of enrollment completed by the student. The period of enrollment for students enrolled in 11 Everest College Arlington (Mid-Cities), Dallas, Ft. Worth North and Ft. Worth South Catalog Revision Date 02/11/15 Addenda modular programs is the academic year. The period of enrollment for students enrolled in quarter-based programs is the quarter. The refund is calculated using the following steps: 1. Determine the total charges for the period of enrollment. 2. Divide this figure by the total number of calendar days in the period of enrollment. 3. The answer to the calculation in step 2 is the daily charge for instruction. 4. The amount owed by the student for the purposes of calculating a refund is derived by multiplying the total calendar days in the period as of the student’s last date of attendance by the daily charge for instruction and adding in any book or equipment charges. 5. The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in step 4 that was paid by the student.
