TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Financial Aid
A variety of financial aid loans, grants, and scholarships are available at Eagle Gate College for qualified applicants. Students seeking financial assistance may apply by contacting Financial Services.
Consumer Information
Most of the information dissemination activities required by the Higher Education Amendments of 1986 have been satisfied within this catalog; however, in accordance with federal regulations, the Financial Services personnel are available to discuss consumer information in more detail with current and prospective students.
Application Procedures
The purpose of the financial aid program is to provide educational opportunities for all qualified persons. Those students who may require financial assistance to continue their education are urged to apply for financial aid. The primary responsibility for financing college rests with the student and the student’s family; however, many families find it impossible to meet the costs of education. In those cases, Financial Services is ready to help. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid early in the calendar year since some types of financial aid have limited funding.
Students must follow the procedures listed below to ensure proper completion of the application process:
- 10 - . Enroll and be accepted for admission by Eagle Gate College on at least a half-time basis. . Complete the current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) according to the instructions, with student and spouse’s income information, if applicable, and/or parents’ income information and signatures where applicable. If help is needed in completing the form, ask Financial Services for assistance. . Notify Financial Services of any changes that may affect student’s financial situation.
Once the application for financial aid is complete, the student’s award will be made. The award letter or detailed financial plan will indicate the estimated amount of financial aid that the student will receive from various sources.
Financial aid received from federal financial aid programs must be used for educational purposes only. Before receiving any funds, each student must sign a statement of educational purpose certifying that s/he will use the money for educational purposes only and agrees to repay any money received that was not used for educational purposes.
. All Title IV federal financial aid funds are credited to the student’s account to cover institutional charges. Financial aid payments will be credited at the beginning of each payment period. . First-time borrowers of the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan and/or the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan are required by the Department of Education to wait 30 days after the first day of attendance before receiving loan disbursements. . Students are responsible for payment of their tuition and fees, even if an application for financial aid has been made. Any College refund of tuition and fees due will be refunded to the financial aid program from which it came, according to Eagle Gate College’s refund policy and applicable federal financial aid regulations. . Any financial aid commitment involving the use of federal funds is tentative and conditional upon subsequent congressional appropriation, actual receipt of the funds by the College, and completion of the necessary forms by the student. . Eagle Gate College reserves the right to review, cancel, or revise a student’s award at any time because of changes in the student’s financial or academic status. . Financial aid from federal aid programs is not automatically continued from one year to the next. Students must re-apply for each award year.
Electronic Pell Processing
Eagle Gate College participates in a program known as Electronic Data Exchange, which provides the Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) used by Financial Services to establish Federal Pell Grant eligibility.
Corrections to Information
If, as a result of verification or another documentation process, it becomes necessary to correct any of the information on the ISIR, Financial Services will note the corrections on the current ISIR and submit the corrected information electronically. A new ISIR showing the corrected information is then generated. If a student becomes ineligible for a Federal Pell Grant as the result of corrections in information, the student will be so informed by Financial Services.
Transferring Financial Student Aid Data to Another School
If a student wishes to transfer information from a federal aid application to another school, the student will need to request that another copy of the Federal ISIR be sent directly to the student or to the new institution.
Student Eligibility Requirements
Financial aid eligibility is awarded according to federal guidelines. For information on a specific program’s eligibility, please contact Financial Services.
Students who are not able to meet the cost of their education may apply for financial aid if they have been accepted for admission or are presently enrolled. Funds are awarded according to need, making it possible for the greatest
- 11 - number of students, regardless of financial circumstances, to continue their education. Need is defined as the difference between the student’s cost of education and the amount that the student and student’s family, if applicable, can afford to pay (known as the Expected Family Contribution).
The Expected Family Contribution is determined by evaluating the information the applicant provides on the financial aid application. Factors such as income, assets, family size, and number of family members in college are taken into consideration. Need for financial aid is not based on a strict income cut-off level. The total financial assistance offered a student by the College shall not exceed the amount of the total budget for the award period minus all resources available to the student.
Financial Aid Eligibility
To be eligible for financial aid, a student must:
. Be enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program of study on at least a half-time basis with the exception of Pell and Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) awards; . Have a high school diploma or equivalent; . Be a U.S. citizen or national, or an eligible non-citizen. Verification of eligible non-citizen status may be required; . Have financial need (except for some loan programs) as determined by a need analysis system approved by the Department of Education; . Maintain satisfactory academic progress; . Provide required documentation for the verification process and determination of dependency status; . Have a valid Social Security Number; . Not owe a refund on a Pell Grant, FSEOG, or state grant previously received from any college; . Not be in default on a Federal Perkins Loan (formerly NDSL), PLUS, SLS, Stafford Loan (formerly GSL), or an Income Contingent Loan previously received from any college; . Not have borrowed in excess of the annual aggregate loan limits for the Title IV financial aid programs; . Not have a federal or state drug conviction if the offense occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving Title IV aid; . Be registered for the Selective Service, if a male born after December 31, 1959.
Verification of Applicant Information
Some students will be selected by the U.S. Department of Education for a process called verification. This means that the student must document that all of the data elements required by the U.S. Department of Education and contained on the FAFSA are correct. All selected students must submit documentation, such as tax transcripts reflecting adjusted gross income and tax paid or a non-filer statement (along with a certification that a tax form was not required to be filed), sources and amounts of income, household size, number of family members attending post- secondary schools, and dependency status.
1. The student must provide the necessary documentation for verification within 30 days from notification of being selected for verification. 2. If the student fails to provide the required documentation for verification within the established time frame, then the student will be treated as a cash-paying student. If the student is not capable of honoring his/her tuition obligation, the student will be dismissed from the College. The College reserves the right to make an exception to this policy due to specific circumstances on a case-by-case basis. 3. Students will be advised by Financial Services when they have been selected for verification. During this advising session, the student will be given a clear explanation of the documentation needed to satisfy the verification requirements. During this session, the student will also be informed of responsibilities with respect to the verification of application information, including the College’s deadline for completion of any actions on the student’s part and the consequences of failing to comply with these required actions. 4. Financial Services will notify the student of the results of the verification. Preferably, this will be in the form of an advising session. If a student’s award changes as a result of verification, an amended award letter or detailed financial plan will be completed.
- 12 - 5. If application information needs to be corrected, then the student will be contacted and action will be taken as outlined in the items above. If, after the corrected documentation is submitted, the financial aid awards change the College will adjust the awards and an amended award letter or detailed financial plan will be completed.
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
Eagle Gate College participates in the following financial aid programs:
. Federal Pell Grant Program . Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant Program (FSEOG) . Federal Work Study . Federal Direct Loan Programs: • Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan • Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan • Federal PLUS Loan . Institutional Loans . Career Loans . Scholarships
Federal Pell Grant Program
The Federal Pell Grant program is designed to guarantee low and middle income students, who are eligible for aid, financial access to the college of their choice. For eligible students, Federal Pell Grants are intended to be the “floor” or the base upon which eligibility for all other aid is determined.
To be eligible, an applicant must be a citizen or a permanent resident and be an undergraduate student. All financial aid applicants are required to apply for this program.
Pell Grant awards are adjusted midpoint each term.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant Program (FSEOG)
This grant is available to students with exceptional need and gives priority to Federal Pell Grant recipients. In determining student eligibility, the College will base the selection on procedures designed to make FSEOG awards to those students with the lowest expected family contribution (EFC) who will also receive Federal Pell Grant in that award year.
The amount of the grant and the number of students who may receive this grant depends on the availability of funds from the U.S. Department of Education.
Federal Work Study (FWS)
The Federal Work Study program provides part-time employment to students who need the earnings to defray the cost of their education. Students may work on or off campus for a qualified public, private, or community services organization.
Application for the FWS program may be made through Financial Services, and eligibility is based on financial need and the availability of funds. The College will attempt to place students in jobs related to their program of study, and work schedules will be arranged according to class schedules.
. Attendance at school is a prerequisite for keeping a work-study job. . Students are normally permitted to work up to 20 hours a week when classes are in session and up to 40 hours during vacation and between quarters. . Students must be in good academic standing while employed under the program.
- 13 - . Students may not earn more than the authorized amount indicated on the student award letter. . Students are expected to dress and conduct themselves in a professional manner and to deliver a full measure of work for the time they are employed.
The amount of the grant and the number of students who may receive this grant depends on the availability of funds from the U.S. Department of Education.
Federal Direct Loan Program
Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans
The student secures a Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan directly from the Federal Government. The loan carries a fixed interest rate, which is determined by the timing of disbursement. The federal government pays the interest on the loan while the student is in school. The borrower may be required to pay to the lender a guaranteed premium not to exceed one percent of the loan amount. The borrower may also pay an origination fee to help defray the federal government’s costs of the program’s administration. Repayment begins six months from the date the student leaves college or falls below half-time status. The loan may be repaid in payments of not less than $50 per month through the repayment period. For information on the current interest rate, visit www.studentloans.gov.
To apply, students should complete a loan application, which can be obtained from the lender or Financial Services.
Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (Formerly PLUS)
There is no aggregate limit for Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students. These loans can be used to cover expected family contribution required in determining need in other financial aid programs. Payments are to be made while the student is in college. As of the printing of this catalog, the Federal PLUS Loan carries a fixed interest rate of 7.9%. The interest rate is evaluated annually on July 1, and may not exceed 9%. For the most current rate information go to: www.studentloans.gov. There is no annual limit on a PLUS Loan, but it may not exceed the student’s cost of attendance.
There is no grace period for Federal PLUS Loans. Generally, borrowers have from 10 to 25 years to repay the loan, depending on the repayment plan that is selected.
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans will accrue interest while the student is in school. However, the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan will carry the same deferments as the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan. The interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, or may accrue and capitalize. The insurance and origination fees for the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan are the same as a Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan. For information on the current interest rate, visit www.studentloans.gov.
Federal Direct Consolidation Loan Program
Effective January 1, 1993, students who have several student loans may consolidate their loans into one repayment package with a weighted average of the interest rates rounded up to the nearest whole percent on the loans consolidated. Repayment is extended up to 25 years, depending on the aggregate amount borrowed. Lenders may offer a graduated or income-sensitive repayment option.
There is no grace period on consolidated loans, but certain deferments may be authorized. Students attending at least half time may receive a deferment if they have a Federal Stafford Loan for that period of enrollment.
Borrowers’ Rights and Responsibilities
Borrowers’ rights and responsibilities are detailed at length in the loan application. Students should read these rights and responsibilities and ask questions of Financial Services if there is anything that is not understood.
- 14 - Deferment of Federal Stafford Loan
Deferment periods are periods during which payment of the principle on a Federal Stafford Loan is postponed and, in general, interest subsidy payments are made by the federal government. Once repayment begins, borrowers are entitled to a deferment if they meet the requirements below. However, the borrower must request a deferment in writing, using a form provided by the lender, and must provide documentation to the lender in support of the request. The student should contact Financial Services or the lender for additional information. If a borrower’s loan is in default, s/he is not eligible for any deferment for that loan. The Financial Services department will assist with in-school deferment requests.
Military Service Deferment
An active duty military deferment is available to borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), Direct Loan and Perkins Loan programs who are called to active duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency. This deferment is available while the borrower is serving on active duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency or performing qualifying National Guard duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency and, if the borrower was serving on or after October 1, 2007, for an additional 180- day period following the demobilization date for the qualifying service.
Post-Active Duty Student Deferment
A FFEL, Direct Loan, or Perkins Loan borrower who is a member of the National Guard or other reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces (current or retired) and is called or ordered to active duty while enrolled at least half-time at an eligible school, or within six months of having been enrolled at least half-time, is eligible for a deferment during the 13 months following the conclusion of the active duty service, or until the borrower returns to enrolled student status on at least a half-time basis, whichever is earlier.
Economic Hardship Deferment
A FFEL, Direct Loan, or Federal Perkins Loan borrower may qualify for an economic hardship deferment for a maximum of three years if the borrower is experiencing economic hardship according to federal regulations. Direct Stafford and PLUS Loan borrowers should contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center at 1-800-848-0979. TTY users should call 1-800-848-0983. Or, go online at www.dl.ed.gov. FFEL, Stafford, and PLUS Loan borrowers should contact their lender. For more information on deferments, students should contact their lender or the Financial Services office.
Repayment/Overpayment Policy
Regulations stipulate that Eagle Gate College determine if any cash disbursed to a student may have exceeded the living costs for that student during the period of enrollment. It is a rare situation where funds are available to disburse to a student for living costs. However, if that has been the case, the monthly budget estimate for the student will be multiplied by the months of enrollment and compared with the aid funds disbursed. For this purpose, Eagle Gate College is not required to consider the Direct Loan program funds the student has borrowed for other institutional costs, since the lending institution requires repayment of these funds. If it is found that excess financial aid funds have been disbursed, the student will be billed for this amount and required to restore the funds to the aid program. Until such overpayments are restored, the student will be unable to receive federal financial aid at any school.
Repayment of Non-Institutional Costs
Students who leave school, officially or unofficially, may be required to repay all or part of the financial aid disbursed for non-institutional costs such as books, supplies, transportation, child care expenses, and room and board. A pro-rated portion of the funds must be repaid if the aid recipient leaves school during the regular refund period. If the last date of attendance cannot be determined, the student is responsible to repay the entire amount of the money disbursed for indirect expenses.
- 15 - Forbearance
Forbearance is a temporary postponement or reduction of payments for a period of time because a student is experiencing financial difficulty. Forbearance may be available for those who do not qualify for deferment. Unlike deferment, whether loans are subsidized or unsubsidized, interest accrues, and the borrower is responsible for repaying it. The loan holder can grant forbearance in intervals of up to 12 months at a time for up to 3 years. Borrowers have to apply to their loan servicer for forbearance, and must continue to make payments until receiving notification that forbearance has been granted.
Note to PLUS Loan borrowers: Generally, the same eligibility requirements and procedures for requesting a deferment or forbearance that apply to Stafford Loan borrowers also apply to PLUS Loan borrowers. However, since all PLUS Loans are unsubsidized, borrowers will be charged interest during periods of deferment or forbearance. If interest is not paid as it accrues, it will be capitalized (added to the principal balance of the loan), thereby increasing the repayment amount.
Cancellation
If a borrower dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled, the guarantee agency will pay the borrower’s obligations for principle and interest, and the holder of the loan may not collect the loan from an endorser or from the borrower’s estate. Certification of permanent disability from a physician is required for loan cancellation. The U.S. Department of Education will then reimburse the guarantee agency for the amount of the loan.
The guarantee agency or the U.S. Department of Education will also pay for a loan discharged in bankruptcy. A loan discharged in bankruptcy is not considered a defaulted loan; however, granting of a new loan will require documentation that the loan has been discharged or is dischargeable. This documentation is the responsibility of the student.
Progress Toward Completion of Degree or Diploma
For purposes of calculation of standard program length, all college preparation courses required of the student will be in addition to the credit courses that apply toward a degree or diploma.
A student who repeats courses or withdraws frequently and is not making satisfactory progress toward graduation is subject to loss of eligibility for financial aid. Additional charges will be added for those courses that are repeated by the student.
Students on financial aid warning (FAW) are eligible to continue receiving federal financial assistance. Students who have been suspended or dismissed are no longer active students of the College and are ineligible for any aid. Reinstatement of financial aid eligibility will occur only in the event that a student’s appeal results in readmittance. Refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of this catalog for all policies related to academic progress and financial aid eligibility.
Fraud
Eagle Gate College may exercise the right to refer any applicant who is determined to have engaged in fraud or other criminal misconduct in connection with his/her application for Title IV funds for investigation by the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Education or by a local law enforcement agency.

The Career Services department will assist students in finding part-time employment while in college.
- 18 - Provisions for Books and Supplies
The cost of books and supplies is included in most programs. Students who are required to purchase books and supplies for their program may be afforded an extension of credit in the College bookstore in order to obtain materials by the seventh day of the payment period. The College is only required to provide this service if: . The student is eligible for a Federal Pell Grant; . The College could have disbursed eligible funds 10 days prior to the beginning of the payment period; and . The Title IV funds disbursed would have created a credit balance.
A student may opt out of purchasing books through the College by notifying the Bookstore Manager and/or Business Manager. A credit balance may be requested to provide students with a real and reasonable opportunity to obtain books and supplies from outside sources.
If a student receives books and/or supplies, and then does not attend for any reason, the student is responsible for returning any books/supplies received through the bookstore. If the books/supplies are not returned the College may charge the student’s account for the cost of the books/supplies.
When a student has already received a book for a course through a previous course, another copy of the book will not be issued. If the student has lost the book or it is otherwise unavailable, the College may charge the student for any additional copies of a text already received.
Institutional Cancellation and Refund Policy
Termination
A student may terminate enrollment at any time by giving notice to the Director of Academic Affairs or the Registrar’s office.
Rejection
A student whose application for enrollment is rejected by the College is entitled to a refund of all monies paid minus the registration fee.
3-day Cancellation
A student may cancel an enrollment agreement at any time before midnight of the third business day after the date of the agreement or the date the student first visits the College, whichever is later. Upon cancellation, the student is entitled to a refund of all monies paid minus the registration fee.
Return of Title IV Funds Policy For students eligible to receive Title IV Federal Student Financial Aid
When a student withdraws or is dismissed from Eagle Gate College, the College and/or the student may be required to return some of the federal funds that were disbursed. When the student receives financial assistance from outside resources, a portion of the refund will be returned to the grant, scholarship, or loan source from which the assistance was received. Students who intend to withdraw should visit the Registrar’s office and complete the appropriate paperwork. The Federal Return of Title IV Funds formula dictates the amount of federal Title IV aid that must be returned to the federal government or the lending institution by the school and/or the student. The federal formula is applicable to an eligible student receiving federal aid when that student withdraws on or before the 60% point in time in the payment period.
The federal formula requires a return of Title IV aid if the student received federal financial assistance in the form of Stafford Loans, Pell Grants, or PLUS Loan and withdraws on or before completing 60% of the payment period. The
- 19 - percentage of Title IV aid earned is equal to the percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment that was completed as of the withdrawal date if this occurs on or before the 60% point in time. The percentage that has not been earned is calculated by determining the complement of the percentage earned (e.g. if 40% was earned, 60% was unearned). The amount to be returned is calculated by subtracting the amount of Title IV assistance earned from the amount of Title IV aid that was or could have been disbursed as of the withdrawal date. The percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment completed is calculated by dividing the total number of calendar days completed in the period as of the withdrawal date. For programs paid based on clock hours, the percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment completed is calculated by dividing the total number of clock hours completed in the period as of the withdrawal date.
Institutional Refund Policy For all students except Nursing program students
When a student withdraws or is dismissed, the College shall refund unearned tuition and fees for each charging period as set forth below (the following is based on a weekly, pro-rata tuition charge):
For Withdrawal During: Refunded Amount Retained First 60% of Charging Period % Weeks Not Attended % Weeks Attended Beyond 60% of Charging Period 0% 100%
Students enrolled in compressed coursework whose course start and end dates fall within the standard quarter start and end dates should be advised that the refund calculation is computed based upon the last date of attendance. The calculation is determined by the full length of the standard quarter charging period.
Official withdrawal occurs when a student notifies the Registrar’s office of intent to discontinue enrollment or is dismissed. All other withdrawals are considered unofficial. In all instances, the refund is based on and computed from the last day of attendance and is not a condition of official or unofficial withdrawal notification. For this purpose, the last week of attendance shall be deemed to be the week in which the last date of attendance occurs, regardless of whether the withdrawal is official or unofficial, and regardless of any notice of withdrawal.
Refund Repayment Distribution Policy
The following refund distribution order is to be used for all Eagle Gate College students due a refund:
. Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan . Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan . Federal PLUS Loan . Federal Pell Grant . Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant . FSEOG . Other federal sources of aid . Institution aid . Student
Application of Policy
Any refunds due will be calculated and credited to the appropriate fund source within forty-five (45) days from the date of determination of a student’s withdrawal from school.
- 20 - Institutional Refund Policy For Nursing program students
When a student withdraws or is dismissed from the Nursing program or Prerequisite General Education Courses for the Nursing program the College shall refund unearned tuition and fees for each charging period as set forth below:
For Withdrawal During: Refunded Amount Retained First week of the Charging Period 100% 0% Second week of the Charging Period 75% 25% Third week of the Charging Period 50% 50% Beyond the third week 0% 100%
Official Withdrawal occurs when a student notifies the Registrar’s office of intent to discontinue enrollment or is dismissed. All other withdrawals are considered unofficial. In all instances, the refund is based on and computed from the last day of attendance and is not a condition of official or unofficial withdrawal notification. For this purpose, the last week of attendance shall be deemed to be the week in which the last date of attendance occurs, regardless of whether the withdrawal is official or unofficial, and regardless of any notice of withdrawal.
Additional Utah State University Policies
Dropping a course will affect the Utah State University (USU) transcript. If a student drops a course within the first 20% of the course, a notation of the course will not appear on the transcript. After 20% of the course is completed, a “W” will be permanently placed on the USU transcript indicating that the student has withdrawn from the course. A “W” does not affect the USU GPA. After 60% of the course is completed, the “W” will appear with a letter grade assigned by the instructor. An advisor’s signature is also required to drop courses after 60% of the class is completed. Students are not allowed to drop courses after 75% of the class is completed.
Other Policies
Eagle Gate College strongly recommends that a student who is considering a complete withdrawal meet with Financial Services to discuss the financial consequences and timing of the withdrawal to help minimize the effects of the refund policy. Worksheets used to determine the amount of refund or return of Title IV aid are available upon request.
Return Policy for Books, Supplies, and Equipment
Students may return unused and unopened textbooks, supplies, and equipment purchased independently through the College Bookstore for full credit if returned within five (5) school days of purchase. Textbooks, supplies, and equipment returned after the five (5) school days will not be accepted for return or credit. Textbooks, supplies, and equipment used or opened by the student may not be returned. Items included with the program fall under the same provisions as refunds of tuition charges.
Refund of Fees
Refunds of fees are computed under the same provisions as refunds of tuition charges. Special Cases
In the case of prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the program, the College shall make a settlement that is responsible and fair to both parties.
Refund Policy Examples
Examples of the refund policies are available upon request through Financial Services.
- 21 - Determination of Withdrawal
A withdrawal occurs when a student notifies the Registrar’s office of intent to discontinue enrollment, or is dismissed.
If a student has excessive absences and fails to notify the Registrar’s office, s/he may be administratively withdrawn from the College.
Financial Obligation
Students who fail to make scheduled payments, issue personal checks which are returned by banks, or fail to make a good faith effort to process their tuition and paperwork in a timely manner may be subject to College disciplinary action.
Students who have not paid their term tuition and fee balances or made satisfactory payment arrangements may not be allowed to attend classes in the following term.
Other comparable schools are located in the area and throughout the United States. Students wishing information concerning other similar schools and their programs are welcome to contact the College’s accrediting body.

Most degree and diploma programs require a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) for graduation. Certain programs may have additional requirements, refer to program pages for additional information.
- 24 - A student who fails a course is permitted to continue as long as the student makes satisfactory progress towards graduation. Any subject failed must be repeated and passed unless it is an optional subject for the degree.
The grade given in a course is the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s performance, achievement, competency, and understanding in the subject as covered in class. The following adjectives indicate the meaning of the letter grades:
A Excellent B Good C Satisfactory D Minimum passing F Unacceptable
Letter Grade Percentage Points Grade Letter Grade Percentage Grade Value Points Value A 94-100 4.00 UW Unofficial Withdrawal 0.00 A- 90-93 3.70 UF Unofficial Failure 0.00 B+ 87-89 3.30 W Withdrawal *** B 84-86 3.00 TC Transfer Credit *** B- 80-83 2.70 NS Grade Not Submitted *** C+ 77-79 2.30 AC Audit Course *** C 74-76 2.00 RW Retake Withdrawal *** C- 70-73 1.70 R Repeat Course *** D+ 67-69 1.30 P Pass *** D 64-66 1.00 NP Non-Pass *** D- 60-63 0.70 F Below 59 0.00
Note: *** Non-punitive grade, not computed in GPA
UW (Unofficial Withdrawal) is given when a student is withdrawn from a course, usually due to lack of attendance. A UW affects the GPA, but may be replaced by successfully repeating the course within one year.
UF (Unofficial Failure) is given when a student is dismissed from school. A UF affects the GPA.
W (Withdrawal) is given when a student withdraws from a course through week four (4) of a five-week course; through week eight (8) of a ten-week course; week six (6) of a 7.5 week course; or week twelve (12) of a 15-week course. A W has no effect on the GPA.
TC (Transfer Credit) refers to transfer credit and is an indication of a transfer credit allowance. A TC grade has no effect on the GPA, but is calculated in the rate of progress (ROP) as both completed and attempted hours.
NS (Not Submitted) is indicated when a grade has not been submitted by the instructor. The indication of NS has no effect on the GPA.
The College does not award incomplete grades. If a student fails to complete a required segment of a course by the end of the term and believes that with additional time s/he could reasonably pass the course, the student should approach his/her instructor and request the grade of NS (Not Submitted). The decision to grant this request is at the discretion of the instructor.
When the grade NS is granted, both the student and instructor must agree on provisions for the make up work. The grade NS cannot extend beyond three weeks following the end of a quarter course or nine weeks following the end of a semester course, with the exception of externship/internship and Professional Massage & Bodywork clinic courses. When the work is completed in a satisfactory manner, the instructor will fill out the Official Grade Change Authorization form and the NS grade will be changed to the grade earned. Failure to complete the work will result in failure of the class, at which time the NS will be changed to an F. The F grade will be computed in the GPA.
- 25 -
R (Repeat Course) indicates the student has repeated a course for graded credit. An R has no effect on the GPA (refer to Repeat Policy).
RW (Retake Withdrawal) is given when documented extenuating circumstances cause a student to withdraw from a course. Extenuating circumstances include the following: illness or disability of student or immediate family member, death of immediate family member, or active military duty. The student must appeal for this grade. An RW has no effect on the GPA.
P (Pass) is not included in the GPA.
NP (Non-Pass) is not included in the GPA.
AC (Audit Course) indicates the student has taken a course for non-graded credit. AC is not included in the GPA.
Grade Changes
Once recorded by the Registrar’s office, no final grade may be changed except to correct the permanent record when a calculation error has been made. When such corrections need to be made, an Official Grade Change Authorization form must be completed and sent to the Registrar’s office. Any and all Official Grade Change Authorization forms must be submitted prior to the end of the subsequent term.
An instructor may initiate a change of grade within six weeks of the new quarter or nine weeks of the new semester, after final grades have been submitted for the previous term. These grade changes are usually the result of extenuating circumstances that prevented the student from completing the course.
Grade Point Average
A student’s quarterly and cumulative grade point averages (GPA) are computed on residence courses taken at the College. The GPA is computed by dividing the weighted cumulative total residence grade points accumulated by the total number of credit hours attempted in residence (see Grading System—all grades are calculated into the GPA except grades with a grade value of ***).
Honors
Students who achieve a quarterly GPA of 4.0 will be placed on the President’s List. Students who achieve a quarterly GPA of 3.6 to 3.99 will be placed on the Dean’s List.
Students who have achieved a CGPA of 3.96 to 4.0 will receive their degree or diploma with Highest Honors upon graduation. Students who have achieved a CGPA of 3.8 to 3.95 will receive their degree or diploma with High Honors upon graduation. Students who have achieved a CGPA of 3.6 to 3.79 will receive their degree or diploma with Honors upon graduation.
Transcripts
Requests for transcripts should be submitted in writing to the Registrar’s office. Eagle Gate College offers one transcript at no charge upon meeting all graduation requirements. There is a $5.00 transcript fee for all other transcript requests. All transcripts produced are official copies. No copy of the academic record or information will be released for students who have not satisfied financial obligations with the College. A change of address, name, or phone number should also be directed to the Registrar.

Transcripts Record Holds
A hold will be placed on a student’s record for failure to satisfy financial obligations (course fees, tuition, bookstore accounts, library charges, etc.).
Transfer Credit
Academic credit received at a previous post-secondary institution may be considered for transfer credit eligibility.
. The student must submit an official transcript from the post-secondary institution to the Registrar's office. In order to be deemed official, the transcript must be in a sealed envelope bearing the return address of the institution and signed and sealed by appropriate school officials or downloaded electronically from a link provided to the Registrar's office from the institution where study was completed. Transcripts received electronically must bear an indication that it is an "official transcript" and the link provided must have information on how to verify the authenticity of the transcript. A transcript bearing the notation "issued to student" is not an official transcript for transfer credit purposes. . The transcript will be evaluated by the Director of Academic Affairs and/or appropriate Program Director(s) to determine which (if any) courses are eligible for transfer credit. . Transfer credit eligibility requirements are as follows: o No remedial courses (usually 001 - 099 level) will be considered o The earned grade must be "C" or better o Academic credit must have been received from an accredited institution; audit classes, proficiency exams, etc. are not eligible o The course must be equivalent to a course currently offered at Eagle Gate College. The Director of Academic Affairs and/or appropriate Program Director(s) are solely responsible for determining the equivalency of transfer credits. (Students may be required to provide course descriptions, academic catalogs, course syllabus, and/or textbooks and other class material to determine equivalency) o Any courses taken more than ten years prior to the student's start date at Eagle Gate College must be approved by the Director of Academic Affairs for eligibility o Courses taken outside of the United States are not eligible for transfer credit o No more than 50% of a student's program may consist of transfer credits (exception: Bachelor of Science in Nursing program) o Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) may transfer up to 65% of previous academic coursework into the Nursing Associate Degree program. All transfer credit requests are subject to transfer credit criterion . Transfer credits will be posted as "TC" on the student's academic transcript. . Each quarter credit accepted from another institution for transfer into the student's program of study at Eagle Gate College will carry a $15 processing charge. Each semester credit accepted from another institution for transfer into the student's program of study at Eagle Gate College will carry a $22.50 processing charge. Financial aid is not available to pay transfer credit fees. . All transfer credits must be approved prior to the end of the student's first full term at Eagle Gate College. . All nursing program transfer credits must be approved prior to the student's matriculation at the College. . Eagle Gate College graduates wishing to pursue another program of study will be able to transfer all applicable credits for courses with an earned grade of "C" or better. . When transferring from one program to another, all credits applicable to the new program will be transferred with an administrative fee of $25. Financial aid is not available to pay this fee. . Once the transcript has been reviewed by the Director of Academic Affairs, a letter from the Director's office will be sent to the student notifying the student of any and all credits that were accepted as transfer credits. . Eagle Gate College reserves the right to accept or reject any and all credits earned at other post-secondary institutions. Any questions regarding transfer credit should be directed to the Director of Academic Affairs. . Academic credits must be equivalent. Equivalency equals quarter for quarter, not quarter for semester or CEU/clock hour units. Transfer of Credits to Other Institutions
- 27 - Eagle Gate College is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) to offer diplomas, associate degrees and bachelor degrees. ACICS is listed as a nationally recognized accrediting agency by the United States Department of Education and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. The fact that a school is licensed and accredited is not an indication that credits earned at that school will be accepted by another school. In the U.S. higher education system, transferability of credit is determined solely by the receiving institution which may take into account such factors as course content, grades, accreditation, and licensing.
The mission of Eagle Gate College is to help students prepare for employment in a chosen field of study. The value of degree programs like those offered by Eagle Gate College is the deliberate focus on marketable skills. Most credits earned are not intended as a stepping-stone for transfer to another institution. For this reason, it is unlikely that the academic credits earned at Eagle Gate College will transfer to another school.
If a student is considering transferring to another school, it is the student’s responsibility to determine whether that school will accept Eagle Gate College credits. Students are encouraged to make this determination as early as possible. Eagle Gate College does not imply, promise, or guarantee transferability of its credits to any other institution.
Challenge Examination for Graded Credit
With the exception of Oral Communications, students may challenge any general education course and Computer Applications. No program core courses may be challenged without approval from the Program Director and Director of Academic Affairs. In any case, challenge examination credits are limited to not exceed more than 25% of the student’s program. Students are encouraged to sit for challenge examinations within the first two terms of their program. If a student fails the challenge examination, the student is required to take the course. If a student does not successfully complete a course, the student may not subsequently attempt a challenge exam for the course. A student may not attempt to challenge out of a course for which a prerequisite course has not been completed.
There is a $25 fee to sit for a challenge examination and a $20 per credit transcript fee. In addition to these fees, students must score 84% or higher to receive challenge examination credit. Students will receive a letter grade based on the percentage earned. Students must pay all challenge examination fees in order to have the letter grade posted to the academic transcript. Challenge examination fees must be paid before the end of add/drop week. Financial aid is not available to pay challenge examination fees or the per credit transcript fee. To challenge a course, students should first contact their Program Director.
Directed Studies
Some courses listed in the catalog may be offered as Directed Study upon the approval of the Director of Academic Affairs and Program Director. A student must show reasonable need for such a course and be in good academic standing. Generally, a course offered as Directed Study may be limited to those students who are near the end of their program and have a scheduling conflict between two required courses. Under these circumstances, one of the courses may be offered on a Directed Study basis. Occasionally, a course with low enrollment may be offered online or as a Directed Study course.
Students seeking approval for a Directed Study course must first contact their Program Director. Each course offered as Directed Study will be overseen by a qualified instructor who will require direct contact with the student for a minimum of two (2) hours each week. Students who take a course as Directed Study will be expected to complete the course requirements as outlined in the course syllabus.
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the course material by one or more of the following methods: (a) skilled handling of essay questions, (b) final examination, (c) readings, written assignments or projects, or a term paper (if applicable) on some researched aspect of the subject, or (d) in some cases a test on the student’s verbal ability to handle the subject matter.

Student Relocation
Students are expected to complete their program of study within the state of Utah. Due to individual state and federal regulations, if a student relocates outside the state of Utah before completing all program requirements they may be unable to continue to receive federal student aid and/or finish their current term and/or program of study at the College. The College does not guarantee that students wishing to complete an internship, externship or clinical course outside of the state of Utah will be able to do so. Students should plan on completing externship, internship or clinical portions of their courses while residing in Utah.
Registration
New students are registered upon acceptance to the College. Registration for currently enrolled students is reviewed on specified days during the current term for the following term. Continuing students will be notified if an adjustment to their schedule has to be made. Students wishing to make changes must contact the Registrar prior to the beginning of the new term. Financial obligations must be met before students are eligible to register, and students with an unpaid balance may not be able to register for the following term. Students expecting an unsatisfactory grade (see Graduation Requirements) in any course should contact the Registrar’s office as soon as possible for rescheduling. No student may attend a college course for which the student has not been registered.
- 29 -
Add/Drop Period
The add period for first-time students is the first two business days of the term. The add period for continuing students is from the day of registration through the first two business days of the term. No class may be added after the first two business days of the term.
The drop period for first-time students is the first five business days of the term. The drop period for continuing students is from the day of registration through the first five business days of the term. No class may be dropped after the first five business days of the term.
Students should contact their Program Director to obtain an add/drop form.
Semesters
The add/drop period for first-time students on a semester schedule is the first five business days of the term. The add/drop period for continuing students is from the day of registration through the first five business days of the term. No class may be added or dropped after the first five business days of the term. Students should contact their Program Director to obtain an add/drop form.
A student seeking an exception for an individual course must be passing the course and have written permission to do so from the Director of Academic Affairs, Program Director, and both instructors.
Withdrawal Policy College
Students are admitted under the premise that they will remain enrolled until the end of the term unless unforeseen circumstances necessitate withdrawal from the College.
Should a student need to withdraw from the College, s/he must contact the Registrar’s office to complete the necessary paperwork. The student will receive a “W” grade for any course in which s/he is currently registered.
Course
If a student chooses not to complete a scheduled course after the add/drop period (see Add/Drop Period), s/he must withdraw from the course through the Registrar’s office. A student cannot withdraw from a five-week course after the fourth week of the course; or from a ten-week course after the eighth week of the course; or from a 7.5 week course after the sixth week of the course; or from a 15-week course after the twelfth week of the course. Any withdrawn course will appear on the student’s transcript with a grade of “W.”
If a student discontinues attending a course at any point following the add/drop period and does not withdraw from the course through the Registrar’s office, the student will receive the grade earned based on the full course. Students should be aware that withdrawal from any course could adversely affect their rate of progress (ROP) and their financial standing.
Changing Programs: If a student changes programs and no longer needs a course in which enrolled, the student must pay for the course if s/he withdraws after the add/drop period. Please be aware of the policy for changing programs as outlined elsewhere in this catalog.
Repeat Policy: Grades for classes retaken will be recorded on the student’s transcript and appropriate credit granted. Previous grade(s) from the same courses will not be dropped but will show on the transcripts as a part of the student’s permanent record marked with an “R.” Failing grades will not be calculated into the GPA once the class has been successfully completed.
- 30 - Repeat Charges: Students will be charged according to the current cost in the tuition section of the catalog. Repeat courses may be eligible for Title IV funding if the student is required to repeat the course for graded credit. Students who wish to repeat a course in order to improve a passing grade may be able to utilize Title IV funds the first time a course is repeated. Students should contact Financial Services to determine the financial aid eligibility of a repeated course.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible to continue as active students of the College. Additionally, satisfactory academic progress must be maintained to remain eligible for and continue to receive federal financial assistance.
Satisfactory academic progress is determined by measuring the student’s CGPA and the student’s ROP toward completion of the academic program. These are outlined below. The Nursing program has additional standards of satisfactory progress. These requirements are outlined in the Program Handbook. The Professional Massage & Bodywork and Pharmacy Technician diploma programs have additional standards of satisfactory progress which are noted throughout the policy.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) Requirements
Students must meet specific CGPA requirements at specific points during their enrollment to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress. These requirements are noted in the tables below, along with ROP requirements. CGPA will be reviewed after grades have been posted at the end of each academic term to determine if the student meets requirements.
Rate of Progress (ROP) Toward Completion Requirements (Percentage Successfully Completed)
In addition to the CGPA requirements, a student must successfully complete a certain percentage of the credits attempted to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress. Credits attempted are defined as those credits for which students are enrolled at the end of the add/drop period of an academic term. These percentage requirements are noted in the tables below along with CGPA requirements. As with the determination of CGPA, the rate of progress will be reviewed at the end of each academic term after grades have been posted to determine if the student is progressing satisfactorily.
Course Incompletes, Withdrawals, Repetitions, Remedial Courses and/or Transfers of Credit
Course incompletes, withdrawals, repetitions and/or transfers of credit from other institutions affect a student’s CGPA and/or ROP as follows:
. The College does not award incomplete grades. . Non-punitive grades have no effect on the GPA, but are calculated in the ROP. . Withdrawals have no effect on the GPA, but are calculated in the ROP. . Repeated courses have no effect on the GPA, but are calculated in the ROP. . Transfer credits have no effect on the GPA, but are counted in the ROP calculation as both completed and attempted hours.
Changing Programs, Earning an Additional Credential If students choose to change programs or return to earn an additional credential, previous credits attempted and grades earned will count toward the student’s new program of study in regard to rate of progress and GPA.
- 31 -
Satisfactory Progress Tables
Students are limited to attempting 1.5 times, or 150%, the number of credits in their program of study. The maximum time frame for a program of study is calculated by multiplying the total number of credits in a program by 1.5, (e.g. 182 x 1.5 = 273).

In addition to the CGPA and ROP requirements, a student in the massage program must attend the scheduled class hours during each term in order to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress. A certain number of excused absences may be allowed per course. Specific attendance requirements are disclosed in the course syllabi. Attendance is evaluated at 360, 720, and 1080 attempted hours.
Maximum Time in Which to Complete
A student is not allowed more than 1.5 times, or 150%, the standard length of the program in which to complete the requirements for graduation. This will be measured by limiting students to attempting 1.5 times, or 150%, the number of credits in their program of study. The requirements for ROP are to assure that students are progressing at a rate that will allow them to complete their programs within the maximum time frame. The formula for determining maximum allowable attempted credits is noted in the Satisfactory Progress Tables.
The student’s maximum time for his/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 Eagle Gate College campus when the student: a) was enrolled in that program of study; and b) was enrolled in a different program of study, if the subject matter of that course is substantially the same as any course in his/her current program of study or that course counts toward or satisfies any of the coursework requirements of his/her current program of study (whether program core, general education, or college core). If a student chooses to change his/her program of study or seek an additional degree from Eagle Gate College, similar courses within the student’s previous program will be included in calculating satisfactory academic progress.
Transfer credits are counted as both hours attempted and completed, and will be considered in determining a student’s maximum time in which to complete.
Pharmacy Technician program exception: In Utah, all students are required to complete all coursework and apply for licensure within 12 months of the first day of the first course. Due to Utah State, Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing requirements, the standards of satisfactory academic progress rule of 150 percent does not apply to the Pharmacy Technician program.
Professional Massage & Bodywork program: A student is not allowed more than 1.5 times, or 150%, the standard length of the program in which to complete the requirements for graduation. This will be measured by limiting students to 1.5 times the normal program length, as measured in calendar time. For example, the Professional Massage & Bodywork program, 45 weeks in length, must be completed within 68 calendar weeks. Students exceeding the maximum time frame will be administratively withdrawn from the College. The maximum time frame is reduced for massage program students who transfer hours from another institution or are readmitted into the program, based on the remaining length of the program in which they enroll. For example, if a student transfers in 300 hours, and therefore must complete 420 hours at the College (420/16 hours per week = 27 weeks), the maximum time frame is 27 weeks x 150%, or 41 weeks.
Financial Aid Warning and Suspension
At the end of the term/semester, after grades have been posted, each student’s CGPA and ROP are reviewed to determine whether the student is meeting the requirements stated in the Satisfactory Progress Table.
Students will be placed on financial aid warning (FAW) when the CGPA and/or the ROP does not meet the requirements detailed in the Satisfactory Progress Table. During the period of FAW students are considered to be making satisfactory progress for both academic and financial aid eligibility. Students will remain on FAW for one term/semester. Students must participate in academic advising with their Program Director for the duration of their FAW period.
- 34 - Students who have not achieved satisfactory academic progress as delineated in the Satisfactory Progress Tables after one term on FAW will be placed on suspension and withdrawn from school. Students placed on suspension are no longer eligible to receive financial aid. Students may appeal suspension (see Appeals Procedure).
Readmittance Following Suspension
Students who have been suspended may apply for readmittance to Eagle Gate College (see Appeals Procedure). Students readmitted at this point are placed on financial aid probation (FAP) and must bring their CGPA or ROP into the acceptable range by the end of the first academic term after being readmitted, or meet the requirements of an approved academic plan, in order to remain eligible for financial aid. If it is mathematically impossible for the student to improve the CGPA or ROP into the acceptable range by the end of the first academic term after readmittance or meet the requirements of an approved academic plan, the student will not be readmitted.
Academic Dismissal
Students who have been readmitted following suspension who fail to improve their CGPA or ROP into the acceptable range by the end of the first academic term after readmittance OR are unable to successfully continue according to an approved academic plan, will be dismissed from the College. Students who have been dismissed are not eligible for readmittance into the program from which they were dismissed unless they successfully complete a period of non-regular status as set forth below.
Non-regular Status
Students who have been dismissed due to failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress may be allowed to continue on non-regular status under the following conditions: . The student is allowed to continue in a non-regular status for a period of time not greater than 30% of the normal program length. . The student is not eligible for student financial aid. . The student is obligated to pay tuition, according to the established tuition schedule, for any courses in which the student is enrolled. . During the time a student is on non-regular status, the student is to be working toward coming into compliance with the standards of satisfactory progress. If, by the end of the maximum period allowed on non-regular status, the student has improved his/her academic standing to the FAW range, s/he will be readmitted on a FAW status. If, by the end of the maximum period allowed on non-regular status, the student has not improved his/her academic standing to the FAW range, s/he will be dismissed. Students in non-regular status who have been dismissed because they have attempted the maximum number of credits allowed under their program, but have not earned all of the credits necessary to complete their program will never be eligible for readmittance to regular status in the program from which they were dismissed but may continue on non-regular status up to the maximum period allowed for the purposes of completing all required credits. These students are not eligible for graduation and cannot receive degrees from their programs but can receive a certificate for the credits they successfully complete.
Satisfactory Progress and Financial Aid
Students must meet the standards of satisfactory academic progress in order to remain eligible to continue receiving financial assistance as well as to remain eligible to continue as a student of the College.
Students should read the SAP standards carefully and refer any questions to Academic Affairs or Financial Services personnel. Satisfactory academic progress for purposes of determining continuing federal financial assistance is determined by applying the CGPA requirements, ROP requirements, maximum completion time restrictions, FAW provisions, suspension and dismissal procedures, and appeals procedures, and FAP provisions.
Students on FAW are considered to be maintaining satisfactory academic progress and are eligible to continue receiving federal financial assistance for one payment period. Students who have been suspended or dismissed are no longer active students of Eagle Gate College and are ineligible for financial aid. Reinstatement of financial aid eligibility will occur only after readmittance following suspension or in the event that a student appeal results in
- 35 - readmittance. A student readmitted on FAP is eligible to receive federal financial assistance for one payment period. While on FAP, the student may be required to fulfill a specific academic plan. The student can qualify for federal financial assistance for additional payment periods if the student meets SAP or meets the requirements of the academic plan
Appeals Procedure
Students who wish to appeal suspension must do so in writing. The reason for the appeal must be the result of mitigating circumstances and documentation supporting the claim of mitigating circumstances must be provided. The student must document in writing why they did not meet SAP and what in the student’s situation has changed that will allow them to meet SAP according to a written academic plan. The appeal should be submitted to the Director of Academic Affairs on a Student Appeal form with all supporting documentation attached. An appeals committee will be called to consider the student’s appeal. The committee will consist of at least three members of the College administration including the Program Director or representative and two impartial members who have not had regular interaction with the student.
If a student’s appeal is granted, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation at the start of the following term/semester and will be required to fulfill the terms of an approved academic plan. If a student’s appeal is denied, the student must remain out of school until one year after the term/semester in which the appeal was denied. The student can then request an additional appeal for reinstatement, but would have to demonstrate accomplishments or changes that show a degree of college readiness that reliably predicts success. Should a student have their appeal denied a second time, the student will be permanently dismissed from the College.
Following is a list of events that indicate there may be a mitigating circumstance which has negatively impacted academic progress: . Death of an immediate family member . Student illness requiring hospitalization (including mental health issues) . Illness of an immediate family member where the student is a primary caretaker . Illness of an immediate family member where the family member is the primary financial support . Abusive relationships . Divorce proceedings . Previously undocumented disability . Work-related transfer during the term . Change in work schedule during the term . Natural disaster . Family emergency . Financial hardship such as foreclosure or eviction . Loss of transportation where there are no alternative means of transportation available . Documentation from a professional counselor
The Director of Academic Affairs is responsible for determining the appropriateness of the mitigating circumstance in regards to severity, timeliness, and the student’s ability to avoid the circumstance. Any consideration of conditions outside this list should be discussed with the Campus President. Student life issues and making the transition to college are not considered mitigating circumstances under this policy
Students may not appeal dismissals for violating the 150% maximum time to complete rule.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is required of each student and is necessary for the successful completion of each program of study. Attendance records are reported daily for each class. Absences are reported regardless of reason. Any student not in attendance for 14 consecutive days may be withdrawn from the College.
Student attendance is recorded separately for each class in which a student is enrolled. All absences are considered in applying the attendance policy. Students may receive an “F” from individual classes for excessive absences and
- 36 - may be dismissed from the College if absences become excessive in all classes in which the student is enrolled. Individual programs may have specific requirements.
Attendance – Professional Massage & Bodywork program
Students in the Professional Massage & Bodywork program must attend the scheduled class hours during each term. To pass each course student attendance must be 80% or better. Students with attendance between 65% and 79% must make up missed class hours. If a student’s attendance is less than 65%, the student will receive a failing grade and must make up the course in its entirety. Students are allowed a maximum of 10% of all absences which may be classified as excused and are not required to be made up. Missing 10 minutes or more of a class (beginning, middle or end) counts as a tardy. Three tardies constitute an absence. Failure to meet attendance requirements may affect financial aid eligibility.
Clinical Work Experience courses are an exception to the 80% attendance requirement. To pass clinical courses student attendance must be 100%. No excused absences are allowed in clinical courses. The Utah Department of Occupational & Professional Licensing requires 100 hours of clinical practice, therefore all absences must be made up. Arrangements to make up missing hours must be made through the instructor or Program Director.
If a student is absent from class because of mitigating circumstances that may classify the absence as excused, the student can obtain an official excused absence. Students wishing to obtain an official excused absence should see Student Services for the proper procedure to follow.
Online Attendance
Attendance records are reported semi-weekly for each online class. Student attendance is recorded separately for each class in which a student is enrolled. Through week eight of the term, students who fail to attend their online courses for two consecutive weeks in the term will be administratively withdrawn from the course unless they have special permission from their instructor(s). After week eight, students will receive the grade earned for the course.
A student will not be given attendance for simply logging in to a course. A student will be given attendance when participating in the class or otherwise engaging in an academically-related activity, such as contributing to an online discussion; submitting an assignment; taking a quiz or exam; participating in interactive tutorials or computer- assisted instruction; attending an online chat session; initiating contact with a faculty member within the learning management system to ask a course-related question.
Tardiness Policy
Students are expected to be in class promptly at the beginning of each class session. Attendance is taken at that time and students who are not present for roll call may be marked absent. Tardiness may result in consequences at the discretion of the instructor. The Professional Massage & Bodywork program may have specific policies for tardiness which are disclosed on the syllabus for each course.
Make Up Work
Students may be allowed to make up work. Details are to be determined by the instructor. Test and homework scores may be substantially discounted if turned in late.
Concurrent Registration and Academic Probation at Another College or University
A student who wishes to enroll in courses at another institution at the same time s/he is enrolled in Eagle Gate College courses must obtain permission for concurrent registration from the Director of Academic Affairs. Information regarding institutions whose credit Eagle Gate College accepts is available in the office of the Director of Academic Affairs. Credit under this arrangement will apply toward a degree at Eagle Gate College, and total credits completed will include courses taken at other institutions (see Transfer of Credit).

Student issue Resolution and Formal Grievance Procedure
Open Communications
At times students may feel the need for extra assistance at the campus. The College aims to address student issues as issues arise and work to partner with a student to arrive at effective, timely resolution to any student issues. The College also strives to help students develop professional skills in issue resolution patterned after problem solving skills valued in the workplace.
The College instructors and campus leaders maintain an open door policy for students to communicate about any school related issues. During the admissions and new student orientation process, the College begins to set student expectations about where at the campus students may go for what type of help.
The College encourages and expects students to bring up issues as they arise in a professional manner and to work with campus instructors and staff to resolve any school-related issues in as timely a manner as possible. The College seeks to create an open and positive educational environment where students may communicate concerns at any time.
Student Health/Safety issues
Students should immediately report to campus instructor, Director of Academic Affairs, Campus President any instance where the student feels he/she has been threatened, harmed, harassed, discriminated against, or otherwise mistreated at the campus. The Campus President will take appropriate measures in accordance with applicable campus procedures to, first, ensure student safety.
Other Types of Student Issues
The College strives to provide a positive, professional learning environment. The College encourages and expects students to follow campus professional level guidelines for resolving issues.
Students generally should address issues with the appropriate person at the campus before escalating the issue to the level of the Director of Academic Affairs or Campus President. For example, students should see his/her instructor for assistance with classroom learning issues. Students may also see campus academic staff (the Program Director, for example) for help with course or program issues, including but not limited to issues with a course, course scheduling or academic progress issues; attendance or grading issues; help with campus student services; any help with any other academic-related issues. Students may see Financial Aid or Business Office staff for assistance with finance issues. Students may see the office of Career Services for assistance with career placement. In general, students should communicate with departments any concerns specific to the department. The Campus President and department leaders also maintain an open door policy for student concerns.
Eagle Gate College Group Academic Affairs will work with the student, the Campus President, and as need be the College Group Chief Operating Officer towards a resolution of the student issue consistent with Eagle Gate College policy.
Formal Grievance Procedure
If a student has communicated concerns to appropriate campus instructors and staff and still does not feel his/her issues have been resolved, the student may choose to file a grievance, or formal complaint, with the campus. The formal grievance process works as follows:
1. Student may file a grievance by writing a letter to the Campus President. The letter should outline the student’s concerns, the steps taken to resolve the issue with the campus, and the specific assistance or resolution that the student is seeking.
- 38 - 2. The Campus President will review the issues and, as need be, convene a campus Grievance Committee. The Grievance Committee shall be made up of campus faculty/staff who are not involved in the student issue to be considered. 3. The Grievance Committee shall investigate the issue, review all applicable records, the issues in light of College policy, and speak with the complaining student to allow the student an opportunity to explain his/her issues. 4. The Grievance Committee shall within a reasonable amount of time reach a decision based on the facts as can be determined, records, and College policy. 5. The Grievance Committee shall make a recommendation for a resolution to the student’s complaint to the Campus President. 6. The Campus President shall communicate the decision to the student in writing within a reasonable time once the decision has been reached. 7. The decision reached after the Grievance Committee process shall be considered final as between the student and the campus.
*Please note: A student may also seek formal complaint resolution through the Arbitration process according to the terms of the student’s enrollment at the campus and the agreement to submit to the arbitration process. The student should see his/her Campus President for details about the arbitration process.

Discipline for Non-academic Reasons
The following provisions contain standards and procedures that will apply in most cases of discipline for non- academic reasons. These standards and procedures are merely guidelines and do not convey legal rights to any student. The College reserves the right to take any disciplinary action under any circumstances and in any reasonable manner it sees fit.
Any student who violates a non-academic College policy or regulation may face disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the College. The College reserves the right to place any student on non-academic probation, suspension, or dismissal for any of the following reasons:
. Unlawful possession, use, or distribution of drugs or alcohol on College property or during any College activity* . Academic dishonesty . Any illegal activity . Any violation of other’s civil rights . Any unauthorized access to, copying, or use of confidential or proprietary information or material of the College or the College’s employees or students . Failure to adhere to the requirements stated in the catalog . Failure to make payments on the date due . Destroying, damaging, or taking any property of the College** . Insubordination, conduct contrary to the best interests of the College, or any conduct that reflects discredit upon the College or its reputation
- 39 - . Unauthorized use of College equipment, facilities, or any other property . Violation of the Honor Code . Violation of the Dress and Grooming Standards . Falsification of educational status on any document . Sexual harassment . Hostile work/learning environment
* The College may contact local authorities as appropriate. ** The student will also be liable for the repair and/or replacement of the damaged property.
When a written complaint is made that a student has committed an act that would warrant disciplinary action, the Campus President or Director of Academic Affairs may suspend the student from the College pending the results of a hearing on the complaint if, in the Campus President’s or Director of Academic Affairs opinion, the student would be dangerous or disruptive to the Eagle Gate College community. Classes missed during the period of suspension are not considered excused absences.
The following procedures will generally be followed in connection with the hearing on the complaint:
. The accused student will be notified in writing of the complaint being brought, the time and place of a pre- hearing interview with a member of the Eagle Gate College staff, and the hearing date. . At the pre-hearing interview, the student shall be given information about the nature and circumstances of the complaint. The student will also be advised of the general manner in which the hearing will be conducted and of his/her right to bring a reasonable number of witnesses to the hearing. . The hearing on the complaint will be held before two or more members of the College administration or staff designated by the Campus President or Director of Academic Affairs.
The hearing may result in the student being placed on non-academic probation, suspension, or dismissal for any given period of time. Any student suspended from school for non-academic reasons will be given a grade of UF (Unofficial Failure) for each uncompleted course, which will be included in the student's GPA. Record of the non- academic probation, suspension, or dismissal may appear on the student’s transcript. Such a record of probation or suspension does not place a hold on a student’s record, but does give notice of action taken against the student.
The student may appeal such disciplinary action by following the provisions set forth in the College catalog.
Appeals Procedures
Students may appeal course grades, attendance records, withdrawals for violations of the attendance policy, Student Conduct policy violations or student conduct dismissals, or other decisions related to college policy by contacting the campus Director of Academic Affairs and providing information why the appeal should be granted. The Director of Academic Affairs will review the student’s appeal in light of College policy. The Campus President may also review student appeals. The student will be notified of a decision on the appeal within a reasonable timeframe; typically within two business days.
STUDENT LIFE
Telephone: No student will be called out of class for a telephone call. In the case of an emergency, a message will be taken. It is suggested that students inform family and friends of this policy.

The Faculty
Eagle Gate College is committed to providing high quality instruction through full-time and part-time faculty. The core faculty at Eagle Gate College is first and foremost a teaching faculty, selected not only for excellence in their subject matter but also for their desire and ability to transmit that knowledge to students. In addition, our students benefit greatly from the fact that most classes are taught by professionals still actively employed in the business and technical workforce of the community.
Academic Advising
When a student matriculates, assignment is made to a faculty academic advisor, usually the Program Director. Students are invited and encouraged to consult with the Director of Academic Affairs, Student Services, and the Campus President to discuss issues affecting student academic welfare and to seek advice and information on any matter of policy.
Eagle Gate College advising is limited to academic matters. Personal or therapeutic counseling is not provided, and such situations will be referred to appropriate agencies. The Eagle Gate College SOAR program is an additional resource that provides students with immediate access to a comprehensive network of experts and information, 24 hours a day. SOAR provides confidential and discreet assistance to students regarding legal, financial, mental health, and body/mind wellness needs. The service is paid for by the College, and provided to students and student families at no personal cost.
Confidentiality of records is maintained under current legal standards as outlined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Students receive information regarding FERPA guidelines during student orientation.
- 41 - Student Orientation
All new students will be notified of the time and date of the next orientation session. Attendance is required.
During orientation, students will become acquainted with the pertinent rules and regulations of Eagle Gate College, familiarized with facilities, introduced to various faculty and staff members, and issued a class schedule. College orientation will also enable students to seek any additional advising from the Admissions department, Financial Services, or Academic Affairs department before classes start.
Tutoring
Students may request tutoring through their respective instructors or Program Director. There is no additional charge for tutoring services.
Alumni Opportunities
An Eagle Gate College graduate can return and audit course offerings from the College. Eligible courses are limited to those courses offered in the program from which the student graduated when space is available. No credit will be given for these courses, nor will they appear on any grade report or transcript. There will be no tuition charge for these courses; however, students will need to purchase the textbooks used in the courses. An additional $20 lab fee will also be charged for any audited lab courses.
CAREER SERVICES
The College’s primary focus is to produce graduates who fulfill the evolving needs of the community the College serves.
The Career Development course is offered on a regular basis to instruct students on current techniques for resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, and contacting employers. Career Services also meets with students and graduates on an individual basis for career advising, providing information about the job market and specific companies. Critiques of resumes and cover letters, and mock interviews are also emphasized. Career Services is in contact with local employers and assists in arranging interviews for graduates.
Graduates qualify for career planning assistance when they complete their academic program in good standing. Graduates of Eagle Gate College are eligible for placement assistance throughout their careers. Eagle Gate College does not guarantee employment.
GRADUATION PROCEDURE
The Registrar’s office conducts an academic audit to determine that all course/credit requirements will be met for each student pending the successful completion of the current term’s courses. The Registrar’s office will then verify that all program requirements have been met and will at that point graduate the student or notify him/her of any outstanding requirements. Provo College conducts a formal graduation ceremony twice yearly. Graduates are encouraged to participate in recognition of their achievement at one of the graduation ceremonies. There is a commencement fee for students who wish to participate in the commencement ceremony. The fee covers expenses including cap and gown.

KNOWLEDGE OF RULES AND REGULATIONS
Students are responsible for knowing all the rules and regulations published in this catalog, posted on bulletin boards, announced by the instructors, or otherwise made known. Failure to know these rules and regulations does not excuse students from requirements and regulations.
OPERATING POLICIES
Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity
The College is committed to nondiscrimination and equal opportunities in its admissions, college policies, academic programs, activities, and employment regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, creed, physical or mental disability, medical condition, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law, ordinance, or regulation.
Students with Disabilities
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 guarantee disabled students access to educational opportunities. This means the College must, within the limits of its resources, provide reasonable accommodation to disabled students. If a student is requesting reasonable accommodation, s/he must provide the Director of Academic Affairs with documentation from an appropriate professional concerning the disability, along with a letter detailing the reasonable accommodation(s) requested. For more information students should contact the Director of Academic Affairs.
Use of Technology
In support of its educational mission the College provides a campus data network. It is the responsibility of students to use electronic services appropriately and in compliance with the college, State and Federal laws and regulations. Actions that are unacceptable on the network and computing services are harassment in any form, failure to respect the property of others, forgery or other misrepresentation of one’s identity. In addition, these policies specific to the College network and electronic services apply:
• College systems and networks may only be used for legal purposes and to access only those systems, software, and data for which the user is authorized. • College systems, networks and electronic services may not be used for private commercial or political purposes or for personal gain. • Information resources licensed by the College for the use of its students, faculty or staff may not be retransmitted outside of the College. • Electronic mail is a College resource and there is no guarantee of privacy for an electronic mail message.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Strong federal statutes protect the privacy and confidentiality rights of all individuals associated with any educational institution. These statutes regulate the gathering, disclosure, and circulation of records of any person
- 43 - associated with the institution. As such, all individuals are guaranteed both freedom from intrusion and protection from unauthorized disclosure of personal data from their personal, health, academic, disciplinary, attendance, and employment records.
Eagle Gate College and all of its officers and faculty comply with their legal and ethical obligation of preserving the right to privacy and confidentiality of all past and present students of the College. The College protects the maintenance and release of student information according to federal and state laws and regulations which (1) outline the ways in which data can be collected from students, (2) restrict information disclosure, and (3) safeguard the quality of information which is circulated. On the basis of the concepts of common law and constitutional provisions, all those who have access and deal with student records do so in the discharge of their administrative or academic duties and work to effectively protect such records from inappropriate and illegal disclosure.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Agreement, protects the confidentiality and privacy of student records. Included in FERPA’s definition of student education records are the following:
. Student’s date and place of birth, address, and emergency contacts. . Grades, test scores, courses taken, academic specialization and activities, and official letters regarding a student’s status in school. . Disciplinary records. . Medical and health records that the College creates or collects and maintains. . Documentation of attendance, schools attended, courses taken, awards conferred, and degrees earned. . Personal identification such as a student’s social security number, picture, identification codes, or any other information that would facilitate identification of the student.
The Registrar’s office at Eagle Gate College maintains student records. Students wishing to review records in their files may request to do so in writing and in accordance with FERPA’s guidelines, which are available at the Registrar’s office. However, students may not inspect the following items: financial information submitted by their parents, employment or job placement, honors to which they have waived their rights of inspection and review, or education records containing information on more than one student.
At Eagle Gate College, the Director of Academic Affairs is the officer in charge of ensuring and overseeing that all administrative offices and academic programs are in compliance with Eagle Gate College’s privacy and confidentiality policies. Students with complaints regarding any academic or administrative violation of these policies should contact the Registrar’s office to make a written complaint. The Registrar’s office will forward the complaint to the Director of Academic Affairs, who, within ten (10) business days, will notify the student in writing about the action taken.
Sexual Harassment and Assault
The College is committed to providing an educational environment that is free of fear, intimidation, or hostility. In keeping with this commitment, the College maintains a strict policy prohibiting unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment and harassment because of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, creed, physical or mental disability, medical condition, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law, ordinance or regulation. This policy prohibits harassment in any form, including verbal, physical, and visual harassment and applies to all College students, employees, and agents. Students are encouraged to report any incident of harassment to campus administration.
Substance Abuse and Awareness Policy
The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-226) requires institutions receiving federal financial assistance to implement and enforce drug prevention programs and policies.
As a matter of policy, Eagle Gate College prohibits the manufacture and unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on its property and at any school activity. Any violation of this
- 44 - policy will result in appropriate disciplinary actions, up to and including expulsion (in the case of students) and termination (in the case of employees), even for a first offense. Where it is apparent that a violation of the law has occurred, the appropriate law enforcement authorities may be notified.
In certain cases, students and employees may be referred to counseling sources and/or substance abuse help centers. If such a referral is made, continued enrollment or employment will be subject to successful completion of any prescribed counseling or treatment program. Students who believe they have a substance abuse problem and are seeking treatment may contact Student Services for referral assistance. Employees who believe they have a substance abuse problem and are seeking treatment may contact the Campus President or Corporate Human Resources department for referral assistance. All such matters will be handled confidentially.
Weapons and Firearms
The College complies with state law with regard to weapons on campus. Utah state law clearly states that a person may not possess a dangerous weapon, firearm, or sawed-off shot gun on school premises (Utah Code 76-10-505.5) except under certain conditions. One of these exceptions indicates that this criminal statute is not applicable if the person is authorized to possess a concealed firearm as provided by the Concealed Weapon Law. The College abides by this law and accordingly allows concealed firearm permit holders to possess their concealed firearm on campus. There is nothing specifically set forth in the Utah statutes that allows a concealed firearm permit holder to carry that firearm openly on a college campus. State statute defines a concealed dangerous weapon as being covered, hidden, or secreted in a manner that the public would not be aware of its presence (Utah Code 76-10-501). As an institution, the College respects the right of its students and others to legally carry a concealed firearm under those parameters, as outlined by state law.
Any individual who fails to abide by this policy may be subject to disciplinary action up to termination and/or prosecution under appropriate city, state, or federal laws. Individuals should immediately report any knowledge he or she may have regarding the use or display of weapons and firearms to the Campus President.
Copyright and Peer-to-Peer File Sharing
The College recognizes and complies with all copyright and fair use guidelines and regulations in regard to ownership, use, and control of copyrightable materials. Students are required to comply with all copyright and fair use guidelines and regulations in regard to peer-to-peer file sharing of copyrighted material, distribution of others’ copyrighted works, and illegal downloading. Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted the copyright owner under Section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). Unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing of copyrighted material, distribution of others’ copyrighted works, and illegal downloading violate federal copyright law. Students found violating the College’s copyright policies are subject to civil and criminal penalties and disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the College. Penalties for copyright infringement can include the following civil and criminal penalties: . Actual or “statutory” damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed . Damages of up to $150,000 per work infringed for “willful” infringement . Court costs and attorney’s fees . Criminal penalties, including up to five years in prison and fines up to $250,000 per offense
More information can be found in Title 17, United State Code, Sections 504, 505 and at www.copyright.gov/help/faq. Legal alternatives to unauthorized downloading can be found at http://www.educause.edu/legalcontent
- 45 - PROGRAMS OF STUDY
In its programs of study Eagle Gate College attempts to foster an attitude of professionalism, encouraging graduates to continue their pursuit of knowledge through self-study of manuals and publications, memberships in professional organizations, and advanced courses of training as they become available. The College also attempts to provide the student with knowledge and skills of general educational value to more broadly prepare them for understanding and participating in modern society, vocations, and further academic study. Not all courses will be taught each term, nor will they always be in the order listed in the catalog.
