COVER Barry University PACE Student Bulletin 2017-18 School of Professional And Career Education 2017–2018 The Frank J. Rooney School of Professional And Career Education Student Responsibility Statement Please note that it is always the student’s responsibility to read and understand the policies and proce- dures of Barry University and the School of Professional And Career Education (hereinafter referred to as PACE). Students should become familiar with the contents of: n Barry University’s Student Handbook located at www.barry.edu/student-handbook/; n the University catalogs located at www.barry.edu/catalog; n PACE Course Schedule located at: web.barry.edu/acescheduling/; and n PACE Bulletin also located online at: www.barry.edu/pace. It is the obligation of students to ensure that they have met and fulfilled all of the requirements for the transfer of credits, degree completion, and graduation. Students should acquaint themselves with the dates and deadlines of Barry University and PACE, which include but are not limited to: regis- tration, add/drop, withdrawal, portfolio submission, and graduation application. Advisors support, advise, and encourage students along their academic paths, but the final respon- sibility for enrolling in all required courses, transferring in correct credits, fulfilling prerequisites, and submitting all paperwork and documentation for graduation lies with the student. Students must carefully read the PACE Student Bulletin and should ask their advisor for clarification on anything in the Bulletin that they do not understand. A student’s catalog year (Student Bulletin) is important because it determines the degree require- ments a student must fulfill in order to graduate. The student catalog year is determined by the year a student began attending classes as a degree seeking student and not by the year of application to the program. A student who does not enroll for more than two years (undergraduate) or one year (graduate) will be considered inactive and will be required to apply for readmission by submitting a new application. In such cases, the Student Bulletin and University Policies in effect at the time of readmission will apply. The information contained herein is valid at the time of publication and may change at any time and without notice. iii Contents Student Responsibility Statement iii Continuous Enrollment/Readmission 14 Contents v Transfer Applicants 14 Accreditation 1 Waiver of Transcripts 14 Transfer Credit Policies 14 Notices 3 Servicemembers Opportunity The Mission of Barry University 4 College (SOC) 16 Core Commitments 4 Credit for Previous Training Learning Environment 5 for Veterans 16 History 5 Articulation Agreement Between University Life 6 Barry University and the Florida Student Right to Know Act 6 Community College System 17 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Advanced Placement (AP) 17 Act of 1974 7 College Level Examination Program (CLEP) 17 8 Locations & Contact Information General Information 17 Sites by County 8 International Students 18 Main Office 8 Official Transcripts 18 Mailing Address 8 English Proficiency 19 Brevard County 8 Financial Support 20 Broward County 8 Financial Information 20 Collier County 8 Transfer Eligibility Form 20 Duval & Clay Counties 8 Health & Insurance Requirements 21 Lee County 8 Certification of Eligibility (Form I-20 A) 21 Leon County 9 International Students Accepted to Fully Miami Dade County 9 Online Programs 21 Orange County 9 Palm Beach County 9 Financial Information 22 Pinellas County 9 Tuition Payment 22 Online Programs 9 Terms and Conditions of Registration 22 PACE Institute for Training & Professional Dropped Courses 23 Development (Non-Credit Programs) 9 Tuition Refund Policy 23 PACE EMS/Fire (Non-Credit Programs) 9 Withdrawals 23 2017–2018 PACE Academic Calendar 10 Total Withdrawal and Return of Title IV PACE Undergraduate Admissions 12 Funds 23 Admission Requirements 12 Order of Return of Title IV Funds 24 Criteria for Full Acceptance 12 Refund Policy for State of Florida Funds 24 Criteria for Provisional Acceptance 12 Delinquent Accounts 24 Second Bachelor’s Degrees 13 Transcripts and Diplomas 24 Non-Degree Students/Guest Students 13 Graduating Students 25 General Information 13 Student Dismissal 25 v vi Contents Forms of Payment 25 Definition of a Permanent Record 47 Acceptable Payment Methods 25 Change of Name/Address/Phone Refund Requests and Credit Balances 26 Number 47 Financial Aid 28 Transcript Requests 47 Determining Eligibility for Financial Classification and Status Aid 28 of Undergraduate Students 48 Satisfactory Academic Progress 29 Repeat Courses 48 Qualitative Component: (Cumulative Grade Reports 49 Grade Point Average) 29 “#” Before the Prefix 50 PACE Component: (Maximum Time Incomplete Grades 50 Frame and Completion Ratio) 29 Learning Environment Policy 50 Understanding Satisfactory Progress 29 Change of Major 30 Dean’s List 51 Satisfactory Academic Progress Review 30 President’s List 51 Applying for Financial Aid 31 Honor Societies 51 Types of Financial Aid 32 Good Standing/Probation/Suspension 51 The Federal Pell Grant 32 Academic Grievance and Appeals 52 William D.
