ABOUT THE SCHOOL EMPOWER YOURSELF: THE DIGNITY OF WORK Work itself is fundamental to how human beings realize their destiny in this world. To be deprived of work, to be unable to provide for one’s family and oneself, is to become not only economically vulnerable, but also humanly stunted. Even the threat of job loss is enough to erode a sense of personal dignity and self-worth. Work, whether a paid job or unpaid work in the home, as a caregiver, or in a volunteer capacity is fundamental to human nature and its expression. This connection between work and human dignity lies at the core of progressive values. Progressivism is deeply rooted in the struggles of ordinary people to realize a decent life for themselves and their children. While progressivism is informed by the Enlightenment ideals of freedom and equality, it is most characterized by its focus on economic struggle. Progressive values dictate that people need both a means to practical economic advancement and respect for their human dignity and equal worth. Work is fundamental to the truth of the human condition. Through work, people become who they are intended to be. Human dignity, therefore, should not be regarded as passive, but as active. Human potential is more fulfilled when people have the means to express their creativity, and an important way they do that is through work. When people are denied the ability to work, they are denied the dignity that comes with that work. Society thus has both a practical and a moral obligation to promote economic systems that allow for the widest possible expression of human potential through work. Progressives recognize the fundamental link between sound economic practices and respect for human dignity. Progressives, therefore, have a deep-seated commitment to helping create and sustain economic systems that draw upon and stimulate human creativity. In the last decade, however, our economic system has produced fewer and fewer jobs, and the jobs it has produced are more in the lower-paying, service sector. Tax cuts for the wealthy, wage suppression tactics, undercutting unions, and other deliberate practices created almost a decade of declining or stagnant wages and slow or no real job growth. These tactics increase profits at the expense of workers. Many Americans have had to work two or even three jobs to make ends meet, sacrificing family time and even adequate rest to make even a modest living. These kinds of jobs do not honor human dignity; they erode a sense of self-worth and contribute to a sense of helplessness and despair. They are a direct attack on the fundamental dignity and worth of human beings as expressed through their work. In these next years, we need not only an economic stimulus, but a moral stimulus as well. The moral stimulus is rooted in a return to the core progressive value that human dignity is respected when the majority of citizens are able to participate in a meaningful way in both their economic and their political life as a society. Ibero American College is centered in the ideal that work is fundamentally good for individuals, family and society – it is our intention to engage students in the pursuit of training and education that will lead to meaningful work – work that defines each person as a valued and contributing member of society as a worker, taxpayer and citizen. Thank you for considering Ibero American College for your health care vocational training. 31 -

Ibero American College’s Mission is simple; to offer vocational healthcare programs that will lead to gainful employment in an entry level position, delivered in an environment that is professional, diverse, respectful, and caring. Our only measure of success is the success of our students in obtaining an education that leads to a rewarding career and a satisfying personal life. Respectful communication and dialogue is central to creating a learning environment that meets the specific needs of each individual student. It is our intention to thoughtfully address each student as an individual, and to make certain our programs are provided in the most appropriate environment for learning. The allied healthcare provider is a trusted professional in the health care community; practicing in an atmosphere of independent judgment and integrity. Integrity is a critical quality that must be present in the classroom and in practice. All students are expected to conform to the standards of the Honor Code (found in the Enrollment Agreement), and demand compliance from other students. Ibero American College supports and is committed to:  Providing evidence-based education  Developing, testing, and disseminating appropriate, quality based training and education, personal and

professional development and knowledge  Demonstrating excellence in health care delivery practice  Sharing expertise and leadership through service to professional organizations and communities  Promoting inter-professional teamwork competencies in collaborative educational environments Governing Principles: Philosophy: Ibero American College is responsible for the education of students engaged primarily in the health care system. Operating within professional value systems and ethical frameworks, health care providers work independently and collaboratively, and assume accountability and responsibility for the delivery of evidence- based, cost effective health care. Health care workers incorporate the concept of diversity in practice and in relations with the communities they serve and their fellow workers. Ibero American College faculty and administrative staff facilitate learning environments in which students assimilate and apply scientific and humanistic knowledge and experience, and develop self-awareness, selfdirection, creativity, and critical thinking. The faculty is responsible for providing a respectful environment conducive to learning, and serve as role models of professional clinicians. Core Values: Professionalism is the adoption of core values as part of a clinician’s commitment to competency, consistency, and compassion in practice, and the highest standards of care in the ethical conduct of health care delivery. The following are the core values shared by the faculty and reflected in our programs. Scholarship: Scholarship is the discovery, translation, application, integration, and transmission of knowledge, which contributes to the development of evidence-based health care delivery. Diversity: Diversity is the recognition and inclusion of human variation in the education and care of individuals, families, communities, and nations, shaped by the historical forces of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, language, religion, sexual orientation, abilities, ages, and geographical regions. Social Responsibility: Ibero American College is committed to protecting human health, happiness and the environment and strives to create a social environment for employees, community and students that 32 -

safeguards their human capacity and acknowledges their worth and value. Policies and procedures are developed to provide a healthy, safe and respectful environment. Environmental Stewardship: In support of our mission to provide a quality vocational education in the allied health care field, Ibero American College is committed to performing its various activities in a manner that demonstrates leadership in environmental stewardship and sustainability. Ibero American College recognizes that preserving the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources and protecting the environment are objectives that can be aligned with our long-term goals of providing and supporting a sustainable economic future through gainful and respectful employment. Empowerment: Empowerment emerges as individuals develop the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and other resources they need to assume a primary role in their learning and personal and professional activities, building upon their individual capacities and experiences. Collaboration: Collaboration involves effective teamwork and relationships based on trust, respect, shared resources, a commitment to shared goals, and mutual satisfaction, in which health care providers work with and learn from individuals, communities, and colleagues. Advocacy: Advocacy includes actions for health policies, programs, and practices to secure the highest level of care, education, and research necessary for societal health and well-being, while educating health care providers in the values of advocacy for themselves and their patients. Equity: Equity is the state, action, and principle of treating all persons in a just and unbiased manner. It includes attention to the social determinants of health, and a clinicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to fairness and action to secure the full participation of patients, families and communities in their health care. Clinicians strive for equity in health service access, content, and quality of care to end discrimination and disparities in health outcomes. Integrity: Integrity refers to the quality of being honest and ethical and having the moral strength to do the right thing.

BENEFIT CORPORATION STATUS: On April 1, 2014, Utah Governor Herbert signed into law new legislation that created a new kind of corporation. Benefit Corporations are companies that volunteer to promote a social and environmental purpose beyond just profits. Benefit Corporations are a new class of corporation that are required by law to create a material positive impact on society and the environment and to meet higher standards of accountability and transparency. On May 13, 2014, the law became effective and Anahuac Corp. – the umbrella company that owns Ibero American College became the first Benefit Corporation in Utah. Our commitment to the success of our students extends well beyond just teaching classes. Our engagement includes social, environmental and even political positions and policies that support a healthy community and a healthy world. Ibero American College uses a third-party verification source, B Lab to verify our status and contributions to the community. B Lab is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Lab drives systemic change through three interrelated initiatives: 1) building a community of Certified B Corporations to make it easier for all of us to tell the difference between ‘good companies’ and just good marketing; 2) accelerating the growth of impact investing through use of B Lab’s GIIRS Ratings and Analytics platform and; 3) promoting legislation creating a new corporate form -- the benefit corporation -- that meets higher standards of corporate purpose, accountability, and transparency. Ibero American College is proud to be a member of a community of educators and business leaders that feel business has a role to play in crafting policies within the organization that foster a healthy community and world. It is our goal at Ibero American College to instill in our graduates a sense of purpose in their personal and professional lives. Motivation to excel, to endure and to contribute to a higher ideal resides in each of us; finding ways to fulfill that ideal is part of our mission at Ibero American College.

HISTORY AND OWNERSHIP: Ibero American College is owned by Anahuac Corp. Which began offering CNA classes in September of 2007. In 2009 the institution began offering programs under Cole Holland College. Subsequently the institution applied for and earned accreditation as Cole Holland College. On April 1, 2014, Utah Governor Herbert signed into law new legislation that created a new kind of corporation. Benefit Corporations are companies that volunteer to promote a social and environmental purpose beyond just making a profit. Benefit Corporations are a new class of corporation that are required by law to create a material positive impact on society and the environment and to meet higher standards of accountability and transparency. The original name of the corporation was Wasatch CNA Center, Inc. On July 1st, 2015, Juan Manuel Ruiz purchased Cole Holland College with a partner, Angela Hansen; however, Angela sold Juan 100% of her stock in April 2016. To better serve the market segment selected, Juan Manuel Ruiz opted to move the college to the heart of West Valley City, Utah’s most diverse city. Changed the name of the corporation to Anahuac Corp., and the name of the school to Ibero American College.

EVIDENCING A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR GED: Regulation 34 CFR 668.16 (p) requires that all Title IV schools establish a policy and procedure to ascertain the authenticity of a high school diploma in the event the school or the U.S. Department of Education has reason to question the validity. Ibero American College may at its own discretion require further documentation that a student has graduated from a genuine high school or obtained a GED. This may mean a student has to submit certified copies of a transcript. Ibero American College pays particular attention to suspect diploma’s and maintains a record of known diploma mills. This list may not be exhaustive as new diploma mills start up all the time. The school may investigate to determine if the school is on a list of approved schools in that state and may take reasonable steps to insure the diploma is genuine and valid for the purposes of enrolling in college. The School does not accept Ability to Benefit (ATB) students and does not offer a Comprehensive Transition Postsecondary Program. Note: In order to be eligible for Title IV, HEA funding, you must be enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program and able to benefit with the reasonable accommodations.

Prior to admission the prospective student is given an enrollment agreement form, an interview with a school official and is given a pre-enrollment questionnaire packet, which they are required to read, understand and sign. The interview will elaborate on course description, the career opportunities and the physical demands of the job, the school and State Board requirements. An explanation on attendance and academic requirement will be given to the prospective student and how Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 33 2015

those requirements can affect the student’s satisfactory performance requirements. The prospective student will be informed that attendance hours may be withheld for non-payment of tuition. A staff member or instructor will give the prospective student a tour of the school facilities.

The refund policy for withdrawn or dismissed students is the same for all students. See Refund Policy above. If the student is making payments for a program or has financial assistance of any kind, the student must speak with a financial aid representative prior to withdrawing from a program or as soon as possible after withdrawing. Withdrawing or dropping out of a program does not absolve the student of their responsibility for payment of tuition.

PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL: Students who find it necessary to withdraw from a program should have an interview with the Registrar. The date of withdrawal is determined by the date the student notifies the institution of their intention to withdraw. If a student provides notice of withdrawal in writing, the date on which the notice is mailed with appropriate postage is the date of determination. Finally, a student may call and notify the school of withdrawal; this date is the date of determination. In such case, documentation is required, along with the name of the institution’s representative with whom the student spoke, the date of the phone call, and the reason for leaving. Withdrawing from a program will adversely affect a student’s academic progress in the program. This interruption will be considered if the student decides to apply for readmission to the program. Missed or incomplete coursework prior to withdrawal will negatively affect a student’s academic progress toward completion of a program or graduation. Students should carefully consider the financial and psychological disadvantages of withdrawing from a program. We are committed to working with each student to minimize the negative consequences of early withdrawal, dismissal, or incomplete coursework. Students who intend to withdraw are required to participate in an exit interview, to officially withdraw from all classes, and to pay all tuition and fees due. A student withdraws by the second Thursday following the first day of class by notifying the school in writing, email or phone. A STUDENT MAY TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE AND NOT WITHDRAW FROM A PROGRAM IF HE OR SHE has attended beyond the first week of the module, is in good standing (good attendance and passing grades), and is forced to withdraw due to extenuating circumstances which are limited to verified medical problems (either with the student or his or her immediate family), military obligations, jury duty, or death in the family that causes extended hardship. If a student attends beyond the first week of the module and then withdraws for reasons other than those listed above before the second Thursday a grade of W will be issued. If a student withdraws or drops from the program after the second Thursday of any term, the student will receive an F grade. A grade of F will academically lower the student’s grade point average and adversely affects the student’s academic progress. Students considering dropping a class or dropping the program is advised to meet with Student Services/Registrar first, to determine the best course of action considering the student’s concerns or needs. A Leave of Absence or other accommodation may be in the best interest of the student. 35 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

GRADING POLICY: Students must achieve at least a 70% final grade in each course to successfully pass the course. A student with a final score in any course below 70% will receive a failing grade. In order to graduate from the program, all courses must be successfully passed. This means students who fail a course, are required to meet with the school to create a new plan of graduation that incorporates retaking failed courses. Tuitions costs for each failed course will apply. If a student fails an exam or assignment the student may be allowed to participate in on-site remedial activities or allowed to complete take home handouts and retake an exam. These options are negotiated on a caseby-case basis and are decided by the instructor. If a student is terminated for failing grades, all fees are forfeited. See specific course syllabus for more information.

Grading scale: A: 90% to 100%

B: 80% to 89%

C: 70% to 79% (Below 70% is a non-passing grade)

Students must achieve a 70% or above to qualify to sit for any state or national exam. A student who officially withdraws from a course or program before the second Thursday of each term receives a grade of W. A student who does not withdraw before the second Thursday of each term, but who does not satisfactorily pass the course will receive a grade of “F”.

MAKE-UP WORK: Students who have been absent are expected to make up missed work.

INCARCERATED APPLICANTS: A student is considered to be incarcerated if she/he is serving a criminal sentence in a federal, state, or local penitentiary, prison, jail, reformatory, work farm, or similar correctional institution (whether it is operated by the government or a contractor). A student is not considered to be incarcerated if she/he is in a halfway house or home detention or is sentenced to serve only weekends. Our attendance policy specifies that most classes and practical studies are done at the school’s physical location; therefore, incarcerated students are not eligible for admission.

IMMUNIZATION AND VACCINATION POLICY OF IBERO AMERICAN COLLEGE This Policy affects all students admitted to Ibero American College who were born after December 31, 1956. Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine Prior to admission to any program at Ibero American College, a student must have two (2) doses of the MMR vaccine. Demonstrating Immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella Evidence of Immunity may be disclosed by demonstrating: 1. The dates you received 2 MMR vaccinations -- after your first birthday or 2. Results of a blood test (called a titer) proving measles, mumps, and rubella immunity. 3. Written documentation of having had measles or mumps diseases and a titer for rubella. 36 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

How to Comply with This Requirement 1. Fill out the Student Immunization form that was included in your admission packet. 2. Retrieve past immunization records. Official forms that will verify immunization include: o Photocopy of medical records from home, i.e. LDS mission or Baby Book Records; o Statement or photocopy of records from doctor/health care provider; o State or international immunization records of vaccinations; o Primary or secondary school records of vaccinations; o Immunization records from another college or university attended; o Military records; o Documentation of measles, mumps, or rubella blood test(s)/titer(s) showing immunity. 3. If verification from any of the above sources is unavailable, or you still need another MMR vaccination, then you will need to do ONE of the following: o Receive the vaccine from your health care provider or local health department prior to arrival on campus; o Obtain the necessary blood test(s) from your health care provider to prove immunity; 4. Complete the immunization record, including the month and year of the immunizations. 5. Sign and date the signature line. Please write legibly. If You Don't Comply Students who arrive on campus inadequately immunized will be given until the second Friday of their first semester to comply with this requirement. If you have not complied by this time, a hold will be placed on your registration until the requirement has been met. IF YOU HAVE A REASON NOT TO BE IMMUNIZED EXEMPTIONS INCLUDE: MEDICAL 1. You are sick right now with something more serious than a cold. 2. You had an allergic reaction to eating eggs so serious that it required medical treatment (does not apply to the rubella vaccine). 3. You have cancer, leukemia, or lymphoma. 4. You have a disease that lowers the body's resistance to infection. 5. You take a drug that lowers the body's resistance to infection (such as cortisone, prednisone, or certain anticancer drugs). 6. You have received gamma globulin (immune globulin) within the preceding three months. 7. You had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic called neomycin so serious that it required medical treatment. 8. You are pregnant or plan to become pregnant within the next three months. Only students with these medical contraindications will be considered for exemption. All medical exemptions must be signed by both a M.D. or D.O. and the student.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE AND INTERRUPTIONS, COURSE INCOMPLETES, AND WITHDRAWALS: If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the same progress status as prior to the leave of absence. Clock hours that have elapsed during a leave of absence will extend the student’s contract period by the same number of clock hours and days taken in the leave of absence and will not be included in the student's cumulative attendance percentage calculation. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll within six months (180 days) of the original official withdrawal date will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal. Course incompletes, and non-credit remedial courses do not apply to this institution’s form of instruction. The Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 37 2015

school does not issue incompletes and does not offer non-credit remedial courses. Students do not repeat courses. All hours attended are considered attempted. It is not possible for students to withdraw from individual subjects. Students withdrawing from school will receive credit for all work successfully completed up to the point of withdrawal. Transfer clock hours received will not be included in the calculation of the student's GPA; however, these hours will be counted toward the quantitative requirements.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE: Ibero American College recognizes that for many adults, attending college while working, caring for children or elderly parents, and dealing with the multiple day-to-day challenges of life can exact a toll on a student. Sometimes unforeseen events and situations occur that seem to make it impossible for you to complete your program. Ibero American College encourages you to meet with an administrative representative before you make the decision to withdraw from school to see if there are options available that may protect the investment of time and money you have already spent. Students who wish to take a semester or two off from Ibero American College, with the intention of returning, should go through the leave of absence process. Why should you request a leave of absence? Students on an approved leave are able to return to Ibero American College under their original academic requirements and the enrollment agreement and will not be subject to the requirements in effect at the time of their return. Filing is simple, and students will learn important information about taking a leave and how to register for classes when they return. How many ten-week modules may you take off? Students may take a leave of absence from the college for a maximum of two full consecutive modules. In the case that a student was not enrolled in classes or drops all classes in a module, this term will count as one full module of leave. In the case that a student withdraws from all classes in a term, this will not count as a leave module and the student is eligible to take a leave for the next 12 modules. Students may take a maximum of two nonconsecutive leaves (of two full quarters each). What is the difference between a leave of absence and a college withdrawal? Students who wish to take a module or two off from Ibero American College, with the intention of returning, should go through the leave of absence process. Students who wish to leave and do not intend to finish their studies at Ibero American College must officially notify the college by going through the withdrawal process. What should I know before filing a leave of absence or college withdrawal?  Students considering taking a leave or withdrawing from the college are encouraged to meet with the Enrollment Director for guidance. Some classes are offered on a rotating basis (i.e., fall quarter only, every other year, etc.), so students who plan to take a leave of absence should review their graduation plan and consider how to stay “on sequence” with their program.  Students who request a leave or college withdrawal for a particular term and are enrolled in classes for that term are responsible for either dropping their classes (before midnight of the second Thursday of the beginning of the term) or withdrawing from classes (week 3-10).  Dropping or withdrawing from classes may affect students’ eligibility for various benefits including buss and TRAX passes, financial aid or promissory note agreements, etc.  If applicable, dropping or withdrawing from classes may affect students’ financial aid or financial agreements. In accordance with federal regulations, the Financial Aid Office will recalculate the amount of Title IV assistance the student is eligible for based on the date of withdrawal. The student will be financially responsible for any account balance that results from this recalculation. Some students may need to pay off the entire balance of the tuition and fees outstanding immediately as applicable in the promissory note or other loan documents. Students are encouraged to consult with the Finance Director prior to initiating these processes to inform themselves of their financial responsibilities and possible repercussions. 38 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

How do you file for a leave of absence? Students seeking a leave of absence must initiate the process by contacting the Registrar to set up a brief exit interview. The official leave of absence process is finalized when a student has had an exit interview, obtained all required signatures on the form, dropped or withdrawn from all classes for the quarter (if the term has begun), and submitted the Request for Leave of Absence/Withdrawal form to the Student Services Office. However, if a student has not met all obligations, financial and otherwise, to the college and returned all property, they will not be able to register for classes until they have reconciled business with all appropriate offices. Mandatory leave of absence The college reserves the right to place a student on a leave of absence for non- disciplinary reasons when it concludes that a leave is in the best interest of the student due to personal or health- related conditions that apparently have not or cannot be resolved in a timely fashion, or if it deems such a leave necessary due to a threat to the student's or others students' health or safety. The student may register again upon satisfaction of such terms as the college determines are appropriate to the situation. Official Voluntary Withdrawal A student is considered to be “Officially” withdrawn on the date the student notifies the Financial Aid Director or School Director in writing of his/her intent to withdraw. The date of the determination for return and refund purposes will be the earliest of the following for official withdrawals: 1. Date student provided official notification of intent to withdraw, in writing. 2. The date the student began the withdrawal from the School’s records. A student will be permitted to rescind his notification in writing and continue the program, if so chosen. However, if the student subsequently drops, the student’s withdrawal date is the original date of notification of intent to withdraw. Upon receipt of the withdrawal information the School will complete the following: 1. Determine the student’s last date of attendance as of the last recorded date of academic attendance on the school’s attendance record, and Perform two calculations a. The students ledger card and attendance record are reviewed to determine the calculation of Return of Title IV (R2T4), HEA funds the student has earned, and if any, the amount of Title IV, HEA funds for which the school is responsible to return. Returns made to the Federal Funds Account are calculated using the Department’s Return of Title IV, HEA Funds Worksheets, scheduled attendance and are based upon the payment period. b. Calculate the school’s refund requirement (see school refund calculation). 2. The student’s grade record will be updated to reflect his/her final grade. 3. The School will return the amount for any unearned portion of the Title IV, HEA funds for which the school is responsible within 45 days of the date of determination that the student withdrew. 4. If applicable, the School will provide the student with a letter explaining the Title IV, HEA requirements. To include, a. The amount of Title IV, HEA assistance the student has earned. This amount is based upon the length of time the student was enrolled in the program based on scheduled attendance and the amount of funds the student received. b. Any returns that will be made to the Federal program on the student’s behalf as a result of exiting the program. If a student’s scheduled attendance is more than 60% of the payment period, he/she is considered to have earned 100% of the Federal funds received for the payment period. In this case, no funds need to be returned to the Federal funds. c. Advise the student of the amount of unearned Federal funds and tuition and fees that the student must return, if applicable. In the event a student decides to rescind his or her official notification to withdraw, the student must provide a signed and dated written statement indicating he/she is continuing his or her program of study, and intends to complete the payment period. Title IV, HEA assistance will continue as originally planned. If the student Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 39 2015

subsequently fails to attend or ceases attendance without completing the payment period, the student’s withdrawal date is the original date of notification of intent to withdraw. In the event that circumstances beyond the student’s control make it necessary for withdrawal the student must consult with the School’s Director and/or Admissions Director and complete a Withdrawal Form with using the last date of attendance as the drop date. (See Leave of Absence Policy). Unofficial Withdrawal Any student that does not provide official notification of his or her intent to withdraw and is absent for more than 14 consecutive calendar days, fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress, fails to comply with the school’s attendance and /or conduct policy, does not meet financial obligations to the school, or violates conditions mentioned in the School contractual agreement, will be subject to termination and considered to have unofficially withdrawn. Within two weeks of the student’s last date of academic attendance, the following procedures will take place. 1. The office will make three attempts to notify the student regarding his/her enrollment status and intent to return. 2. Determine and record the student’s last date of attendance as the last recorded date of academic attendance on the attendance record. 3. The student’s withdrawal date is determined as the date the day after 14 consecutive calendar days of absence. 4. Notify the student in writing of their failure to contact the school and attendance status resulting in the current termination of enrollment. 5. The School calculates the amount of Federal funds the student has earned, and, if any, the amount of Federal funds for which the school is responsible to return. 6. Calculate the school’s refund requirement (see school refund calculation). 7. The School’s Controller will return to the Federal fund programs any unearned portion of Title IV funds for which the school is responsible within 45 days of the date the withdrawal determination was made, and record on student’s ledger card. 8. If applicable, the School will provide the student with a refund letter explaining Title IV requirements: a. The amount of Title IV aid the student has earned based upon the length of time the student was enrolled and scheduled to attend in the program and the amount of aid the student received. b. Advise the student in writing of the amount of unearned Title IV, HEA aid and tuition and fees that he/she must return, if applicable. 9. Supply the student with final student ledger card showing outstanding balance due the school and available methods of repayment. 10. A copy of the completed worksheet, check, letter, and final ledger card will be kept in the student’s file. Student Responsibilities in regards to withdrawing from Ibero American College  Returning to the Title IV, HEA programs any funds that were disbursed to the student in which the student was determined to be ineligible for via the R2T4 calculation.  Any notification of withdraw should be in writing and addressed to the appropriate institutional official.  A student may rescind his or her notification of intent to withdraw. Submissions of intent to rescind a withdraw notice must be filed in writing.  Either these notifications, to withdraw or rescind to withdraw must be made to the official records/registration personal at your school.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS: Standards of Academic Progress (SAP): Process Overview & Responsibilities Federal regulations require all schools participating in state and federal financial aid, Title IV, and HEA programs to monitor Standards of Academic Progress (SAP). These standards are applicable to all students attending this institution. Students enrolled in programs approved by ABHES must meet formal standards that measure their satisfactory progress toward graduation. The policy is provided to all students prior to the first class session. The policy is consistently applied to all applicable students. Evaluations are maintained in the student file. The school has developed policies to determine the academic standards that students are expected to meet and built a means and schedule of measuring the achievement of those Pace and Qualitative standards. SAP standards are established by the Registrar. The relevant SAP policies are summarized below. All students must maintain Satisfactory Progress according to the following standards in order to continue enrollment. Satisfactory Progress is measured at the end of each payment period or term, and will be checked prior to disbursement of aid. The school’s SAP policy for Title IV, HEA students is the same as the school’s standards for students enrolled in the same educational programs who are not receiving Title IV aid. The Director in the financial aid office reviews the Title IV SAP policy to ensure it meets all federal requirements. The Registrar notifies financial aid office if the school changes its academic policies.

EVALUATION PERIODS: Formal evaluations for Satisfactory Academic Progress are conducted at the following intervals: *Medical Assistant Program: 450 clock hours (half the total program hours)/and 30 weeks (half the total program weeks). Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have ample opportunity to meet both the attendance and academic progress requirements by the end of each of the payment periods in the course.

Qualitative Measure of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned theory study. Theory is evaluated after each unit to study. Students must maintain a cumulative 42 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

theory grade average of at least 70% (C) at the end of each progress report period (payment period). Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Practical skills performances are counted toward course completion only when considered satisfactory or better and are therefore, not a component of satisfactory progress. If performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated until a satisfactory level of performance is achieved. The school uses the following grading scale: 90-100 80-89 70-79 69

A B C F

Excellent Very Good Exceeds Minimum Standards Unsatisfactory

Quantitative (Pace) Measure of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) The school’s satisfactory academic progress policies must contain a Pace measure. The policy defines the pace that our students must progress to ensure educational program completion within the maximum timeframe of 150% of the length of the program, measured in number of weeks. The school evaluates Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of each payment period and checks for the following: 1. Grade point average (GPA) and the student must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 GPA. 2. Attendance 3. Clock hours, the student must meet half the weeks of instruction for that programs payment period to be eligible for the next payment. 4. Weeks of Instruction, the student must meet half the weeks of instruction for that programs payment period to be eligible for the next payment.

MAXIMUM TIME FRAME The maximum time (which does not exceed 150% of the course length) allowed for students to complete each course at satisfactory progress is stated below:

Program Medical Assistant

Clock Hours 860

Normal Time Frame

Maximum Time Frame

56 Weeks

84 Weeks

TRANSFER STUDENTS AS IT APPLIES TO SAP: The School will count all transfer hours/credits that apply toward the student’s current program in determining SAP. All transfer hours will be counted as both hours attempted and hours completed. Ex: A student starts with 200 hours attempted and 200 hours completed. The student takes 100 hours the first payment period and completes only 50; the attendance would be 250/300.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT FROM ANOTHER COLLEGE OR VOCATIONAL INSTITUTION Ibero American College has a policy for transfer of credit that requires consideration of credit from other institutions accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). In keeping with this policy Ibero American College may accept credits from other institutions which are accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education the Council of Higher Education Accreditation if the courses are sufficiently comparable in scope, curriculum content and rigor as courses at Ibero American College. Transfer of credit from one institution to another involves at least three considerations: Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 43 2015

(1) the educational quality of the learning experience which the student transfers; (2) the comparability of the nature, content, and level of the learning experience to that offered by the receiving institution; and (3) the appropriateness and applicability of the learning experience to the programs offered by the receiving institution, in light of the student's educational goals. The applicant must supply a course syllabus, catalog, course description and an official transcript(s) for transfer of credit to be considered. Please allow five weeks for consideration of credit.

TRANSFER OF CREDITS FROM IBERO AMERICAN COLLEGE TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS: Students who are considering transferring to other institutions should recognize that programs at Ibero American College are terminal in nature and are not generally transferable to other colleges. It should be noted that in any transfer situation, regardless of the institutions involved, the acceptance of credits is at the sole discretion of the accepting institution and Ibero American College makes no representations whatsoever concerning the transferability of any credits to any other institution. This is an important consideration for students and should be seriously well-thought-out.

MA PROGRAM Medical Assistant Program PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Medical Assistant Program is a 860 Clock Hour program with a mandatory unpaid 160 hour externship included in the 8 6 0 hours.

Methods of Instruction: The College employs a variety of methods of instruction that include lecture, lecturediscussion, demonstrations, simulations, collaborative learning, case studies, role play, power point presentations, problem based and Inquiry Learning (the instructor gives the student a problem and the student must solve the problem by gathering, organizing and using data to provide an explanation or answer), group projects, experiential learning and individualized tutoring. Study Time and Outside Preparation: The College adheres to the premise that successful students must spend at a minimum, two hours outside class in study or reading per contact hour in the course. This is in addition to time spent in the classroom or a virtual classroom online. Additional time for homework, assignments, quizzes, exams or experiential learning may be required for some courses. The syllabus in each course attempts to inform students about how much time is required to complete all the coursework. This is an estimate because different students proceed through the coursework at different rates. We recommend you attend class every day and spend the time you need to be successful. Engaging in study groups, attending remedial activities or free tutoring labs will also help you keep pace with the work load. Please do not be deceived; this is college and as such, the course work is rigorous. The fast pace may discourage you, so please contact the Program Director(s) or your instructors for help early on. A Leave of Absence policy is in place for students who suffer extraordinary circumstances that warrant a “break.” Nearly all students feel discouraged, overwhelmed and sometimes feel as if it is impossible to keep up. Ask for help. Stay the course and support your investment in yourself by successfully graduating from College. Graduating from College will build your self-esteem and demonstrate to family and friends that you are empowered to create a satisfying professional and personal life. 45 -

PREREQUISITES: There are no prerequisites for the Medical Assistant program except those outlined in the Admission or Enrollment policies which state: Students must be proficient in English both written and oral, must pass a College Pre-Assessment Exam, and must also be able to provide proof of appropriate educational requirement such as: 1) Copy of high school diploma, or 2) Copy of high school transcript showing graduation date. (The high school diploma or transcript requirement can also be from a foreign school if it is equivalent to a US high school diploma; Documentation of proof of completion of secondary education from a foreign country must be officially translated into English and officially certified as the equivalent of high school completion in the United States.)

3) Copy of GED certificate 4) Have a recognized equivalent of High School Diploma such as a home-schooled certificate by the state where the student resided during home school. The student must have completed homeschooling at the secondary level as defined by state law. Due to the passage of Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, students who do not have a high school diploma or equivalent and did not complete secondary school in a home-school setting can no longer gain eligibility for Title IV, HEA funds by passing an “abilityto-benefit” test. 5) Evidence of immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella (See Vaccination and Immunization Policy) 6) Payment of the $50 application fee. These documents are maintained in the student file.

DISTANCE EDUCATION: The internet has made learning more convenient than ever before, and provides students with additional resources to aid in their education and training. The Medical Assistant program is considered a hybrid or blended program which means some courses are offered in the classroom, some in the classroom and online and one completely online. The online components are offered via an online Distance Education Learning Management System (LMS) called Moodle. The only method of online delivery is asynchronous meaning the internet portion is not time or location specific. Moodle 46 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

allows you access to the course syllabus, the academic calendar, course and institution-wide announcements, discussion boards, chat and messaging capabilities, grades, class schedule, study tips, assignments, reading guide, new course resources including links to YouTube videos and other pertinent data available online, flashcard programs, quizzes and exams. Distance Education means you must have access to a computer and the internet; students who live or work in close proximity to the school may use our computer lab. Once you have enrolled in the program course we will provide you with access information, login codes etc. Your login information will be contained in an email sent to you when we set up your account. Please save this email for quick reference. Your log in code and password must be strictly guarded. Students are not permitted to share this with others or to allow anyone, including other students to access a personal LMS profile. All students enrolled in distance education components participate in an orientation which explains how to access and use Moodle. During the orientation students receive login information and all student questions are answered. The orientation includes exposing students to the various components of the system including threaded discussion groups, chat, exams, assignments, syllabi, online help desk, lectures, power point presentations, discussions, test generators, email, streaming videos and other tools to assist students in their studies. Additional fees associated with online courses or blended courses with online content vary and are detailed under Additional Fees. It is recommended that students have a computer that is adequate to operate effectively or students in close proximity to the school may use the computer lab during normal school hours of operation. Our Computer Fundamentals instructor, Zac Mussatt is available to advise students about any necessary upgrades, installations or software needed to navigate the Distance Education system. The Distance Education program is administered by our Distance Education Director, whose role is to insure that the education and communication between students and each other and the student and instructor is substantive, meaningful and regular. Understanding the Purpose of Moodle; the LMS (Learning Management System) Discussion Board Postings All course materials are in Moodle – students can access basic information about a course, such as contact information for instructors, a copy of the Syllabus, messages from the instructor, supplemental training resources, administration or other students, announcements, a guide to assignments and due dates, quizzes and exams. Eleven courses in the Medical Assistant program also contain a distance education component and one course is offered completely online – these components or classes take place in a virtual classroom but attending class in the virtual world is mandatory and necessary in order for a student to pass these courses. Courses with an online distance education component offer Course Material that is not available in class. The online environment in this way becomes a virtual extension of the physical classroom. Much of the activities that go on in a physical classroom take place online. Instead of listening to a lecture and engaging in a classroom discussion on campus, for example, you ‘meet’ online to engage in learning activities and engage in classroom discussions. Your syllabus will identify the Mode of Delivery. If it is distance education (it is completely online), if it is blended than your participation in the course will be online and in the classroom. Ignoring the online component of a course will result in failure. You must attend to all online activities. Some of these activities include: Reading online material, watching videos, practicing concepts through games or the use of flashcards, uploading assignments, taking quizzes and exams etc. One component of ALL courses with ANY distance education component is the discussion board or forum postings.

47 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

Discussion Boards: Every week in every class that is offered online or blended has a requirement for WEEKLY participation in a discussion board question. Responding to the question and to two other postings by classmates is mandatory every single week. You will be graded on the relevancy and quality of each post, but failure to post at all means you will likely fail the course. Discussion board or forum post assignments must be answered with at least 150-200 words, which is about two paragraphs. The initial post should be done within the first day or two so that you have time to respond to fellow students. You need to respond to at least 2 other students, and simply posting I agree or disagree does not make up a meaningful contribution. You must also reply to those who commented on your posting. Along with other virtual classroom activities, a discussion board posting is required every week! The purpose of these online discussion forums is to enable you to engage with fellow students and the instructor just like you would if you were all in a physical location together. If you have any questions you may email the instructor. If you do not have easy access to a computer and the Internet, contact the school immediately. We can provide you with a list of places near your home or work that will allow you to use a computer and to get online. Another option is to come to the school at least one day a week, early – and spend it in the lab. Coming two hours before classes begin each day allows you time to use the computer lab and to complete the online components of your courses including answering and engaging in discussion boards online. All distance-learning students enrolled in fully online courses will perform all assignments and exams online to complete each course. The instructor will monitor the time a student logs in to the system, the curriculum, study studies, exams, and assignments. The Internet method of delivery requires students to complete the distance course materials in a timely manner. TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS Software Specifics Apple Mac OS 10.5.X or Microsoft Windows XP - Or higher Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student Edition - Or higher Adobe Flash 10.X – Or higher Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.X – Or higher Hardware Specifics Apple Macintosh with Intel x86-based CPU, or Windows compatible hardware with Intel Core 2 duo CPU – Or higher, Internet access, and online registration required. 1024 x 768 screen resolution or larger and 2 GB of RAM or greater. Android and iOS (Apple) tablets and other mobile devices are not supported at this time. See: Adobe Flash software requirement. All students enrolled in the Medical Assistant program take COM 101. At the beginning of this course, the instructor will verify that each student has access to a computer and the internet that meet at a minimum the Technology Requirements above. Textbooks, workbooks, assignments and other instructional materials are consistent without regard to online or classroom delivery. Coursework is asynchronous allowing a student to complete online work on their schedule, though online material and assignments must be completed timely according to the syllabus. Student services are available to students via phone, online or via email. EXTERNSHIP: A 160-hour unpaid externship is REQUIRED for successful completion of the program. Typically, the externship begins and is completed in module 6. For most students, this placement will be during the day. For students enrolled in a night program this might pose a problem and is something the student must consider prior to enrollment. Often arrangements can be made with facilities, work and child care issues can be addressed too, 48 -

Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 2015

to allow easy completion of the externship but pre-planning is essential. Early notice of any issue that would preclude a student from completing 160 hours of an externship during the day must be reported to the Externship Coordinator no later than the end of Module 3. We will make every effort to secure an externship that works with the demands of work or child care, but we can’t make any promises. Please plan now, well before the beginning of the externship so you are prepared to get it done in the last ten-week module. Externship Vaccinations and Immunizations: Prior to admission all new and transfer students born after December 31, 1956 are required to submit proof of immunity for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Additional immunizations suggested may be required to attend an externship. For this reason, by the end of module five students may need to obtain: Hepatitis B shots or signed declination, TB test, Background Check and Urine Drug Screen (5 panel) as required by placement. Some sites may also require a flu shot or evidence of other immunizations. These will be clearly explained to you once you are placed in an externship. Since nearly ALL placement sites require these at a minimum, students are required to begin the process of documenting these requirements no later than the beginning of Module five. If students do not meet these requirements by the end of module five, the student will may not be able to attend an externship in a timely manner in Module 5. This delay may mean you incur additional tuition expense and if you are outside the timeframe for completion of the program as described in the SAP policy (150%) you may not be able to complete your program at all! Ibero American College’s Vaccine Policy is found later in this catalog. TUITION: The tuition for the Medical Assistant program is $10,985.

What Medical Assistants Do: Medical assistants complete administrative and clinical tasks in the offices of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and other health practitioners. Their duties vary with the location, specialty, and size of the practice. Duties: Medical assistants typically do the following:  Take patient history and measure vital signs  Help the physician with patient examinations  Give patient injections as directed by the physician  Schedule patient appointments  Prepare blood for laboratory tests  Electronic health records (EHRs) are changing medical assistants' jobs. More and more physicians are adopting EHRs, moving all their patient information online. Assistants need to learn the EHR software that their office uses.  Medical assistants take and record patients’ personal information. They must be able to keep that information confidential and discuss it only with other medical personnel who are involved in treating the patient.  Medical assistants should not be confused with physician assistants, who examine, diagnose, and treat patients under a physician's supervision. For more information, see the profile on physician assistants.  In larger practices or hospitals, medical assistants may specialize in either administrative or clinical work. Administrative medical assistants often fill out insurance forms or code patients’ medical information. Some assistants buy and store supplies and equipment for the office. Clinical medical assistants have different duties, depending on the state where they work. They may do basic laboratory tests, dispose of contaminated supplies, and sterilize medical instruments. They might have additional responsibilities, such as instructing patients about medication or special diets, preparing patients for x-rays, removing stitches, drawing blood, or changing dressings. Some medical assistants specialize in a specific type

of medical office. Work Environment: Medical assistants held about 560,800 jobs in 2012. Most of these assistants work in physicians’ offices and other healthcare facilities. In 2012, more than half of all medical assistants worked in physicians’ offices. Certification: Medical assistants are not required to be certified. However, employers prefer to hire certified assistants. Several organizations offer certification. Some require the assistant to pass an exam, and others require graduation from an accredited program. In most cases, an applicant must be at least 18 years old before applying for certification. The National Commission for Certifying Agencies, part of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, accredits four certifications for medical assistants:  Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) from the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA)  Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) from the American Medical Technologists  National Certified Medical Assistant (NCMA) from the National Center for Competency Testing  Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) from the National Healthcareer Association To be eligible for the CMA Certification Examination, an assistant must have completed a postsecondary medical assisting program accredited by either the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) and passed the certification exam. For the other three certifications, no formal education is required to take the certification exam. Ibero American College meets the requirements for students to be able to sit for any national exam, however, we recommend that students become CMA’s (American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) as we have found this is the preferred certification for most health care providers in Utah, including IHC. Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised February 56 2015

Important Qualities  Analytical skills. Medical assistants must be able to understand and follow medical charts and diagnoses. They may be required to code a patient’s medical records for billing purposes.  Detail oriented. Medical assistants must be precise when taking vital signs or recording patient information.

Physicians and insurance companies rely on accurate records.  Interpersonal skills. Medical assistants need to be able to discuss patient information with other medical

personnel, such as a physician. They often interact with patients who may be in pain or in distress, so they need to be able to act in a calm and professional manner.  Technical skills. Medical assistants should be able to use basic clinical instruments so they can take a

patient’s vital signs, such as heart rate or blood pressure. Pay for Medical Assistants The median annual wage of medical assistants was $29,370 in May 2012. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $21,080, and the top 10 percent earned more than $41,570. Most medical assistants work full time. Some work evenings or weekends to cover shifts in medical facilities that are always open. Median annual wages, May 2012  Total, All Occupations* -- $34,750  Other Healthcare Support Occupations -- $30,620  Medical Assistants -- $29,370 *Note: All Occupations includes all occupations in the U.S. Economy.

Job Outlook for Medical Assistants Employment of medical assistants is expected to grow by 29 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. The growth of the aging baby-boom population will continue to spur demand for preventive medical services, which are often provided by physicians. As their practices expand, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative and clinical duties, allowing the physicians to see more patients. Assistants will likely continue to be used in place of more expensive workers, such as nurses, to reduce costs. An increasing number of group practices, clinics, and other healthcare facilities need support workers, particularly medical assistants, to do both administrative and clinical duties. Medical assistants work mostly in primary care, a steadily growing sector of the healthcare industry.

Additional demand also is expected as a result of new and changing tasks for medical assistants as part of the medical team. As more and more physicians’ practices switch to electronic health records (EHRs), medical assistants’ job responsibilities will continue to change. Assistants will need to become familiar with EHR computer software, including maintaining EHR security and analyzing electronic data, to improve healthcare information. *Note: All Occupations includes all occupations in the U.S. Economy.

Applying for Graduation: Once a student has taken and passed all courses, demonstrated competency in all skills and passed comprehensive skills pass off, attended the 160-hour externship and passed the comprehensive exam, a student may apply for graduation. In order to graduate the student must meet with the Registrar to make sure all file documentation is current and accurate including grades and attendance records. He or she must also meet with the Finance Department to make sure all tuition or tuition payment agreements are in place. Personal Referral services, job placement assistance and support is available. We ask all graduates to complete a Graduate Survey after at least ten days and to notify the school when you are hired so we can obtain an employer survey. Student Right to Know: According to regulations published by the U.S. Department of Education based on the Student Right-to-Know Act, the graduation/completion rates for first time, ¾ time students who entered school and graduated/completed within the 133% of the normal time to complete the program must be published in the Course Catalog. As of February 2015, the medical assistant program increased hours from 860 to 900 making the program full time. Subsequent reporting will include the increased hours and the 150% timeframe Retention Rates: For the period ending June 30, 2014, the retention rate was: 82% Retention rates relates to the number of students who are enrolled in the reporting period (July 1 – June 30) of each year. Some reasons students may drop out of the program are change in job status, a marriage, pregnancy, a move etc. Retention rates provide the student with some information about how well a college keeps students who enroll. Some schools with low retention rates (the requirement is 70% or higher for most colleges, might be due to enrolling students who are not capable or prepared to finish the program. Ibero American College attempts to only enroll students who demonstrate an intellectual capacity, and a mental drive to stay the course and graduate. Gainful Employment: For the period ending June 30, 2014 the placement rate was: 80%. At the time of this catalog published date, our placement rate is 80%. The placement rate is related to how many students found work in the field or in a related field to their area of study. The time period for reporting is July 1st to June 30th of each year. At this time, the placement rate for this period is 80% - meaning 80% of the graduates between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014 are placed as Medical Assistants or in related fields.

Financial Aid FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID: To be considered for Federal Financial Aid, a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Aid on line. The student and the parent (in the case of a dependent student) may sign the FAFSA on line by using a PIN number. Once the student completes the FAFSA, and it is processed by the government, the school will receive an ISIR which will contain the Estimated Family Contribution and let the student know if he/she is selected for verification. Verification: Each year, financial aid recipients are randomly selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education. Verification is the process the school uses to confirm that the data reported on the FAFSA is accurate. The school has the authority to contact students for documentation that supports income and other information that was reported. If a student is selected for federal verification, he/she will be asked to complete a Verification Worksheet (provided by the Office of Student Financial Planning) and must provide additional information before financial aid can be disbursed to the student account. This documentation may include but is not limited to federal income tax transcript and W-2 forms (student’s, spouse and/or parents/guardians), proof of untaxed income, household size information, housing allowances, etc. Students will be notified in writing of all documents required to fulfill this federal requirement. If after review by the Office of Student Financial Planning, there are any changes to the Estimated Family Contribution and possibly the financial aid available, the student will be notified in writing.

RETURN OF TITLE IV (FEDERAL FINANCAIL AID) The Bursar’s Office is required by federal statute to calculate the percentage of earned Title IV Funds received or pending to be received and to return the unearned funds for a student who withdrew, was terminated or failed to return from an approved leave of absence. If a student fails to return from a Leave of Absence, the Date of Withdrawal is the last day the student attended class before the Leave began. 63 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

Recalculation is based on the percentage of earned aid using the following Federal Return of Title IV funds formula:  Percentage of aid earned = the number of scheduled hours in the payment period completed up to the student’s last date of attendance as per the school’s attendance records, divided by the total clock hours in the payment period.  If this percentage is greater than 60%, the student earns 100% of the disbursed Title IV funds or aid that could have been disbursed.  If this percentage is less than 60%, then the percentage earned is equal to the calculated value.  Funds are returned to the appropriate federal program based on the percent of unearned aid using the following formula: The total Aid to be returned by the school is the lesser of the amount of unearned aid or the amount of unearned charges. If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would be required to return a portion of the funds and the student may be required to return a portion of the funds. All Title IV funds that the institution must return will be made no later than 45 calendar days after the date the school determines that the student withdrew. When Title IV funds are returned, the student may owe a balance to the institution. REFUND VS. RETURN OF TITLE IV: The requirements for the Title IV, HEA program funds when you withdraw are separate from any School refund, as stated in the school’s refund policy. Therefore, you may still owe funds to the school to cover unpaid institutional charges. The School may also charge you for the balance created by any Title IV, HEA program funds that they were required to return on your behalf. The School Refund Policy is included on the website, in this catalog under Refund Policy and is disclosed to you in the financial documentation you sign during the enrollment process. Return of Title IV questions? If you have questions regarding Return of Title IV, HEA program funds after visiting with your financial aid director, you may call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4fedaid (800-433-3243). TTY users may call 800-730-8913. Information is also available on student aid on the web www.studentaid.ed.gov.

POST-WITHDRAWAL DISBURSEMENTS: If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the institution must send written notification to the student (or parent for PLUS loan funds) to offer a post-withdrawal loan disbursement for any amount not credited to the student’s account. No permission is required to disburse grant funds. The student will be notified no later than 30 calendar days after the date that the school determines that the student withdrew. The institution is required to make a post-withdrawal disbursement within 45 days of the student's date of determination that they withdrew for grants and 180 days of the student’s date of determination that they withdrew for loans. Refunds are allocated in the following order:  Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan  Subsidized Federal Direct Loan  Federal Parent (PLUS) Loan  Federal Pell Grant  Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant  Other Title IV assistance  State Tuition Assistance Grants (if applicable)  Private and institutional aid  The student 64 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

FINANCIAL AID WARNING: The school evaluates Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) at the end of each payment period. A student must obtain a 2.0 GPA or higher and must complete the required amount of clock hours to keep pace with the requirements for graduation within the 133% time frame, including a 75% cumulative attendance requirement that each student would have to meet at the end of each payment period. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the student being placed on Financial Aid Warning for one payment period. A student who is put on a Financial Aid Warning can continue to receive Title IV aid for the next payment period after they receive the warning status. The status will be conferred automatically without the student appealing their SAP status. Students will be notified in writing when placed on Financial Aid Warning, which will include what is required to meet SAP at the end of the warning period. Students who regain SAP at the end of the warning period will have regained full eligibility for Title IV financial aid.

APPEAL PROCESS: If the student does not conform to the improvement plan to ensure they are on track to meet the demands of SAP at the end of the Financial Aid Warning period, the student will lose their Title IV, HEA financial aid eligibility and will be placed on Academic Development Status, with a loss of Title IV, HEA funding, with the right to appeal. The student may have the opportunity to have their Title IV, HEA financial aid eligibility reinstated by appealing the Academic Development Status, with a loss of Title IV, HEA funding decision and placed on Financial Aid Probation if the appeal is granted. The student has five (5) days to institute an appeal. The appeal must be given to the School Director, who in turn will meet with the Admissions Director and the Financial Aid Director to make a decision on the appeal. The student must describe any unusual circumstance(s) that the student believes deserve special consideration. The basis on which a student may file an appeal: death of a relative, an injury, or illness of the student or other special circumstance. The student must provide supporting documents and describe in writing any unusual circumstance(s) that the student believes deserve special consideration. The student must provide information as to why he/she did not make SAP and what has changed that will allow them to make SAP by the next evaluation point. Once the School Director receives the appeal, they will evaluate the appeal and provide a decision within ten (10) business days. The School Director will notify the student in writing of the decision and that decision is final.

FINANCIAL AID PROBATION: If the appeal is granted, the student will be placed on Probation and will regain Title IV, HEA eligibility for the next eligible payment period only. The student must be making SAP at the end of the payment period to regain Title IV, HEA funding for the next payment period. Students who regain SAP at the next reporting period will have regained full eligibility for Title IV, HEA funding and will be removed from warning/probation status. Those who are not making SAP at the end of the payment period will become ineligible to receive Title IV funds without the option to appeal.

However, Ibero American College reserves the right to refuse to readmit any student who does not meet the academic or behavioral standards of the institution. A WARNING MAY BE GIVEN PRIOR TO EXPULSION OR DISMISSAL: Whenever possible, the school will issue a written warning and a personal counseling session regarding the inappropriate or poor conduct of a student before dismissing the student from a program or the school. However, some actions deemed serious by the School Administration may require swift action and dismissal without warning.

ATTENDANCE: The Medical Assistant is competency based, but poor attendance will make it impossible for a student to complete the program. Each course has a weighted measure for attendance. Some require nearly perfect attendant to learn skills taught in each class. Students who attend all or most of the program perform much class and missing class may result in a failure or an inability to successfully demonstrate competency in skills. The school requires students to attend class regularly and in sufficient hours to pass each course, master the didactic education and the skills training necessary to perform as a Medical Assistant in an entry-level position after graduation. Students may be required to make up missed assignments, skills training and pass offs, exams, quizzes and projects. Missed work may be made up in a variety of ways including making sure you get notes from another student or passing off a missed skill or attending tutoring etc. Sometimes an instructor may require a significant effort for you to make up for what you missed – this is not just intended to discourage poor attendance, bit to emphasize how important it is to be in class. Often students who miss one or two classes begin to miss more and more classes as it becomes evident that their capacity to make up the missed assignments, projects, papers, quizzes and exams seems impossible. We call this the Cycle of Poor Attendance Despair. 67 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

You can avoid this by attending every class you can, timely make up the missed work, asking for help if you feel like you can’t keep up, participating in study groups and attending tutoring to keep you on track. If you miss a class for any reason YOU MUST NOTIFY THE SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY OR THE FOLLOWING DAY. Students who miss more than 4 consecutive classes without communicating with the school or instructor may be considered dropped from the program. Students who miss more than 60% of class time will not be allowed to make the time up and will fail all classes he or she failed to attend. This may result in expulsion from the program, or additional fees or tuition and the possibility of having to start the courses all over again. Failure to attend classes may also result in a later graduation date and may require the payment of more fees and tuition. If a student does not attend any classes during the first week, the institution will terminate the student from the program. Attendance for all lecture, laboratory, clinical and externship sessions is required. Courses are normally delivered by the traditional lecture/lab instructor-led method. In some cases, course work can be made up using an alternative method, such as make up work from home, watching pre-recorded lectures, practicing skills in a supervised lab, etc.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL CHARGES POLICY: Faculty members are paid for each course they teach and are expected to be available to assist students in completing the course. Free tutoring is also available on a regular basis. For students who do not complete a course or pass off skills and so may need additional time with an instructor in order to complete or pass the course, will be charged at the rate of $25 an hour. This must be prepaid prior to scheduling additional instructional time until graduation. Students have up to two weeks after the end of each term to complete all assignments and to pass all quizzes, exams and skills pass offs. Failure to do so may result in a failing grade and a need to pay for and re-take a course. Or a student may opt for an incomplete or “I” which allows them a set amount of time to complete the coursework. The decision is up to the instructor and is only allowed under certain circumstances, such as a death in the family, a serious illness or issues related to sick family members. Ignoring your responsibilities to complete the course is not grounds for an extension or “I”.

APPEARANCE AND PUBLIC REPRESENTATION: A student’s appearance is a reflection of Ibero American College. All programs have a dress code – all students must adhere to the dress code for each program and must wear their issued Student ID badges while on campus. Lost ID badges may be replaced for $15.00. Students must wear only close toed shoes. Hair is worn off the collar. Long hair needs to be pulled back and secured. Beards and mustaches should be neatly trimmed. Jewelry is discouraged, except for a wedding band and plain stud earrings. No other visible body piercing is acceptable. Tattoos should be covered, if possible. Nails must be short and clean with neutral nail polish – avoid fake nails. Perfumes, fragrances, colognes, perfumed deodorant should be minimized if offensive to others. Smokers should make sure their clothes and breath does not smell. Students who appear for class in any other attire besides the assigned dress code will be sent home. Students in the Medical Assistant program must wear scrubs to class.

COPYRIGHT AND P2P FILE SHARING POLICY: COPYRIGHT AND P2P FILE SHARING POLICY: H.R 4137, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), is a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. It includes provisions that are designed to reduce the illegal uploading and downloading of copyrighted works 68 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

through peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. Annual Disclosure: Consistent with our educational principles, we view education as the most important element in combating illegal sharing of copyrighted materials at Ibero American College. We use a wide variety of methods to inform our community about the law and Ibero American College’s response to copyright infringement claims:  In order to use college computing resources, all members of the Ibero American College’s Community endorse the Copyright and Fair Use and Policy information that includes a section on copyright compliance.  All entering students are required to read the Ibero American College Copyright and Fair Use Information and Policy and acknowledge that they have read and understand the policy and will abide by it.  Posters are mounted in student computer labs and elsewhere to discourage illegal file sharing.  Beginning March, the Program Director will send an email to all students regarding illegal distribution of copyrighted materials through Moodle and subsequently every term.  Computing support staff are regularly trained on the College position with respect to copyright issues.  Periodically, all College employees receive email from the President or other officers regarding copyright infringement and related issues. Effectively Combat the Unauthorized Distribution of Copyrighted Material We currently employ bandwidth-shaping technology to prioritize network traffic. We limit the amount of bandwidth available to P2P applications but we do not filter such applications since much of the traffic is legal. Plans for Addressing Copyright Infringement Issues The College will use the following criteria to address copyright infringement issues: Technology based deterrents to downloading illegally will include: The Ibero American College Firewall System has the ability to control P2P network traffic and log requests for access to illegal download sites. Mechanisms for educating the community about appropriate use of copyrighted material will include:  Statements in the Student Course Catalog and on the website.  Yearly emails sent out to all students, tutors, and administrative staff; and information handouts given to new students at orientation. The information in the Handbooks will include a summary description of copyright and copyright infringement, a summary of civil and criminal penalties for copyright infringement, and a description of the institutional penalties the College might exact in the event of copyright infringement using College resources by a student, faculty, or staff member. The yearly emails sent to students, tutors, and administrative staff will also include a link to a web site offering legal alternatives to illegal downloading.  Use of College resources to infringe on copyrighted material will be handled as a disciplinary matter and will penalized by up to and including expulsion in the case of students and up to and including dismissal in the case of employees.  The Campus Director in conjunction with the Director of Distance Education and Program Coordinators will review these policies for effectiveness once per year. The criteria for review will be both process and outcome oriented. Offering Alternatives to Illegal File Sharing -- Legal Sources of Online Content The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires all colleges and universities to offer legal alternatives to unauthorized downloading. A list of legitimate online services that are approved by the AAP, MPAA, and RIAA is available at http://www.educause.edu/focus-areas-and-initiatives/policy-and-security/educause-policy/issues-andpositions/intellectual-property/legal-sources-onli. Note: Some of the sites listed provide some or all c o n t e n t at no charge; they are funded by advertising or represent artists who want their material 69 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

distributed for free, or for other reasons. Just because content is free doesn't mean it's illegal. On the other hand, you may find websites offering to sell content which are not on the list at Educause. Just because content is not free doesn't mean it's legal. DRESS CODE: The dress code instills a sense of professionalism and respect. It also helps the school maintain security for student safety. The dress code is strictly enforced. See each program for details regarding the dress code. UNIFORMS: Specific dress code requirements are listed under Program Descriptions. Students must wear close toed shoes while on premises and during all clinical or externship rotations.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA): The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."  Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies. Upon written request, a student may inspect and review those educational records maintained by the College for that student. Upon receipt of a written request, the office holding the requested records must make them available to the student within 30 days. Typically, student records must be reviewed in the office housing that set of records. Email jruiz@ibero.edu to request a review of student records.  Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.  Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31): o School officials with legitimate educational interest; o Other schools to which a student is transferring; o Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; o Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; o Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; o Accrediting organizations; o To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; o Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and o State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law. Ibero American College may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, Ibero American College must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them.

Plagiarism: Intentional plagiarism is the deliberate act of using the words, ideas, data, written communication, published and non-published work belonging to another without providing proper attribution to the original author through quotation, reference, or footnote. Inadvertent plagiarism involves the inappropriate, but non-deliberate, use of another’s words, ideas, data, written communication, published and non-published work without proper attribution. Although it is not a violation of the Student Code of Honor, it is a serious issues and a form of academic dishonesty that may result in imposed sanctions including: failing a quiz, exam or assignment, a reduction in grade, dismissal from the course or a requirement for resubmission of work or the requirement to submit additional work. The decision for how to deal with intentional and unintentional plagiarism lies with the instructor. It is the students responsibility to guard against plagiarism. If a student is in doubt, he or she is advised to seek advice and instruction from the instructor or the onsite Program Coordinator. Various Forms of Plagiarism: There are a variety of types and degrees of plagiarism but none of them are acceptable at Ibero American College. With the easy access to the internet and a seemingly endless information and data it can be inviting to cut and paste and use the words of others. Don’t. Unless an instructor specifies otherwise, the following definitions of plagiarism apply to all work submitted in every course. Minor plagiarism is defined as doing any of the following without attribution:  Cutting and pasting or inserting exact sentences or phrases or the use of 2-3 distinctive words taken from another.  Substituting synonyms or other words into the original sentence in an effort to ‘change’ the sentence rather than rewriting the complete sentence using your own thoughts and words.  Reordering words in a sentence or moving them around.  Imitating the sentence or writing style of someone else, “writing over” but using someone else’s ideas, train of thought, logic or ideas. Substantial plagiarism is defined as doing any of the following without attribution:  Cutting and pasting exact sentences or ideas verbatim from another source and including it in an assignment without attribution.  Combining paraphrasing with verbatim sentences to create sentences or paragraphs. Mixing your ideas 71 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

with other’s ideas in a single sentence or paragraph or just changing the words a bit.  Repeatedly engaging in minimal plagiarism. Complete plagiarism is defined as doing any of the following without attribution:  Submitting or presenting someone's complete published or unpublished work (paper, article, or chapter) from a published work or from the internet and passing it off as your own work. This means cutting and pasting or paraphrasing in whole or in part, the words, ideas and data belonging to another. A deliberate attempt to ‘hide’ the use of other’s work and passing it off as your own.  Submitting another student's work for an assignment, with or without that person's knowledge or consent. Students who collaborate on an assignment and submit each other’s work is committing plagiarism. Unless you are allowed to collaborate by the instructor, each student must submit his or her own work. Purchasing or downloading a term paper from a web site or using a paper prepared by another person for submission in a different course or school.  Buying a term paper from a mail order company or web site. Reusing or modifying a previously submitted paper (e.g., from another course) for a present assignment without obtaining prior approval from the instructors involved. There Are Serious Consequences for Plagiarizing the Work of Others: Plagiarism may occur intentionally or unintentionally, but intent is not a factor in determining whether plagiarism has occurred or what consequences apply (e.g., Student Judicial Affairs, UCD, 1999). An analogy is the licensed driver who is responsible for knowing and abiding by the rules of the road. Ignorance does not excuse the driver if a law is broken. Likewise, a writer is responsible for knowing and using the rules for being accurate and honest in his or her writing. Pleading ignorance of the rules does not prevent the consequences from being applied. Ibero American College includes the Plagiarism Policy in the Course Catalog and it is discussed and taught in each course. Most syllabi have a prohibition about Academic Honesty in submitting one’s own work. Typically the first offense of minor plagiarism is used as a learning opportunity. The student is advised about the offense and the student may only be asked to resubmit the assignment without the plagiarized parts. A student who continues to violate minimal plagiarism descriptions on a routine basis may be found guilty of deliberate and substantial plagiarism. Student who are guilty of substantial or continual violations of the plagiarism policy may be disciplined by: 1. The student may be required to resubmit the assignment 2. The student may receive a failing grade on the assignment 3. The student may receive a failing grade in the course 4. The student may be dismissed from the program Punishment is progressive – but is at the discretion of the instructor and program coordinator. SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY: The policy of Ibero American College is that all students and instructors will and can work in an environment free from sexual harassment. The instructors will actively investigate all allegations of sexual harassment, and if it is determined that sexual harassment has occurred, the instructor/school administration will take appropriate disciplinary action, which may include the discharge of the student. A student discharged for sexual harassment will be withdrawn from the course or program and will hereby forfeit all tuition and fees. Sexual Harassment is defined as: unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or contact of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects a student’s/instructor’s school/work environment, unreasonably interferes with a student’s/instructor’s ability to learn/teach, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive learning/work 72 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

environment. Activities of this nature distract the student/instructor from learning/teaching and serve no useful purpose in the classroom. Therefore, sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal, or physical conduct that has sexual connotations will not be tolerated. Student Responsibility: Any Student who believes that he or she is being sexually harassed by anyone in the classroom should promptly take the following steps: 1. Politely but firmly confront whoever is doing the harassing. State how you feel about his or her actions and request that the person cease harassing you immediately. 2. If the harassment continues or if you believe that some consequence may result from your confrontation, go to the instructor immediately. You can do this verbally or in writing. 3. If any student feels that they have been sexually harassed by any instructor or staff member, they may file a formal written complaint to the program director. 4. If after a reasonable length of time you believe inadequate action is being taken to resolve your complaint, go directly to the instructor again so that the perpetrator can be contacted again and termination discussed. A student withdrawn from Ibero American College will not be recommended for any type of license or certification and will not be entitled to any refund of tuition or fees. Instructor Responsibility: Every instructor is responsible for ensuring that no sexual harassment occurs within his or her area of authority. 1. Any complaint of sexual harassment should receive immediate attention of the Instructor, and report it to the President or the director of Ibero American. 2. If the investigation reveals that the complaint is valid, prompt disciplinary action designed to stop the harassment will immediately be taken to prevent its recurrence. Investigation of a complaint of sexual harassment normally will include conferring with the parties and witnesses named by the complaining parties. Because of the sensitive nature, complaints of sexual harassment shall remain confidential. 3. In no event will information concerning a complaint of sexual harassment be released to any third party or anyone not involved with the investigation. More specifically, information will not be released to an affected member’s family, the news/media, or any so called well-wisher. This sexual harassment policy does not imply the assumption of legal responsibility for actions that occur outside the school environment. Human relationships are complicated and prone to emotional entanglements. Ibero American College encourages students to engage in appropriate, non-sexual contact and content while engaged in school activities, attending classes or performing clinical practicum. STUDENT GRIEVANCE POLICY: Most grievances or complaints can be handled swiftly and easily. Ibero American College encourages students to resolve their own conflicts with the specific person as much as possible. Good conflict resolution and conflict management skills are necessary for success in most careers, but particularly in health care. However, students who feel the issue is serious or they feel they have been treated unfairly may file a grievance. The grievance system provides a means for students to present problems or complaints about their experience to the Administration in a neutral and orderly way to facilitate decisions and promote good student/school relations. A separate file will be kept of all grievances including the action taken and will be kept in accordance with state and federal laws governing them. The grievance may concern any school related issue or may be in regard to:  Attendance or grading issues – Dismissal, Refund Policies, etc.  The interpretation of policies and procedures  Failure to receive a Completion Certificate  Discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation or belief, sexual orientation and against beneficiaries on the basis of either their citizenship/status as a lawfully 73 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

admitted immigrant authorized to work in the United States or participation in any WIA Title I – financially assisted program or activity. All complaints should be in writing (if you need assistance a representative of Ibero American College will offer assistance free of charge) and should include the nature of your complaint, the details of the circumstances under which the grievance occurred, your name and contact information. Please send or deliver your complaint to the Enrollment Director in the school office. 1. The Enrollment Director shall review the grievance and confer with the complainant within three (3) business days after receipt to indicate what action will be taken. The Enrollment Director shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the complaint to resolve it. 2. If the grievance has not been resolved at that point, the Enrollment Director shall notify the student that the grievance is being forwarded to the Administrator of the school who shall have an additional ten (10) days in which to resolve the grievance. 3. If the outcome of the review is not satisfactory to the student, the student may contact the following organizations and agencies for assistance.

This information is distributed to students upon enrollment as part of the Student Information and Consumer Disclosures. The information is also found in the Student Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Policy Manual and on our website http://www.ibero.edu/student-resources/alcohol-drug-use-prevention-policy/ Our Drug and Alcohol Prevention Handbook, available online and handed out at enrollment, must be reviewed by the student and faculty each year. Ibero American College is concerned for the well-being of all members of its academic community and for the quality of their relationships. One area of that concern involves the use of alcohol and other drugs. The College does not condone the use of alcohol when prohibited by law. On the contrary, it seeks to foster an atmosphere in which abstinence from alcohol is accepted, respected, and supported. The College also expects individuals and groups of legal age to make responsible choices with regard to alcohol use. The College takes the position that chemical abuse is neither socially nor morally acceptable. It also recognizes the reality of chemical dependency and is aware of its presence in the academic community. We are obliged to help those who could be harmed or inconvenienced as a result of the irresponsible behavior of others. As a part of encouraging responsible lifestyles, Ibero American will strive to provide education about alcohol and other drug use, to encourage responsible choices, and to intervene in situations where it has knowledge of misuse and abuse of chemicals. The College will encourage and provide reasonable help for members of the community who seek treatment for chemical dependency. The College expresses the following objectives with regard to alcohol and other drugs: 1. To support and encourage those who choose to abstain from the use of alcohol and other drugs. 2. To undertake to educate members of the College community regarding the effects of use, misuse, and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. 3. To formulate and maintain guidelines for appropriate response to the misuse and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. 4. To expect individuals who use alcohol to make responsible choices and respect the rights, needs, and lifestyles of other members of the community. 5. To provide direct assistance and/or referral for those with substance-abuse problems. Each member of the community is encouraged to support the objectives of this policy. Statement of Rules Any violation of the following rules shall be considered an offense subject to disciplinary action by the appropriate authorities. The College reserves the right to request assistance from law enforcement officials where State or local laws are being violated. 1. Utah law and College policy prohibit the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by persons under the age of 21. Providing alcohol to a minor, or assisting a minor in any way in obtaining alcohol, is specifically included as inappropriate behavior and is also a violation of State law. 2. Possession, use, sale, or solicitation of illegal substances is prohibited. 3. Possession of drug paraphernalia is prohibited. 4. State and local laws prohibit the purchase and resale of alcoholic beverages without a license. College policy prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages on campus. 5. Promotion on campus (including, but not limited to, circulars, posters, and campus publications) of consumption of alcohol, or of events where drinking is the primary focus, is prohibited. 6. Alcohol advertisements are prohibited in student media publications and broadcasts. 7. Consuming or possessing alcohol in an open container in any public campus location is not permitted. Being on campus while intoxicated is prohibited. 8. Driving under the influence is prohibited. 9. Transportation of alcoholic beverages to and from campus is prohibited. 10. No college funds may be expended for the purchase of alcohol. 76 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Revised November 23, 2016

11. Controlled Substances: Possession, use, sale, distribution, or solicitation of restricted or illegal substances is prohibited. The use, possession, sale, or distribution—or assistance in any way to anyone so involved—of any illegal and/or dangerous drugs, narcotics, or acids is strictly prohibited on the campus and in the residence halls. Prohibited substances will be confiscated and disposed of by College staff members in cooperation with local law enforcement officials and the offender subject to disciplinary action by both the College and civil authorities. Ibero American College has adopted and implemented a program, consistent with Federal Guidelines, to prevent the illicit use of drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and employees. The program, mandated by the "Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989" (Public Law 010226, an amendment to Title XII of the Higher Education Act of 1965), requires that the following information be distributed annually to each student and employee. A. Standards of Conduct: Ibero American College prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of drugs and alcohol by students and employees on its property or as any part of its officially sponsored activities. Standards relating to this prohibition are further defined in the College’s Alcohol/Drug Policy, which is printed annually in the Ibero American College Student Handbook and the Faculty Handbook. B.

E. Institutional Sanctions: Ibero American College will impose sanctions for violations of its alcohol and drug policies that are educational in nature and that are dependent on the frequency and severity of the incident and on the impact on the College community. Those sanctions include, but are not limited to, referral for assessment, referral for counseling and/or treatment, and expulsion or termination of programs, involuntary Leave of Absence. The responsible parties may also be referred to civil authorities for violations of College regulations that are also of civil or criminal nature. The College conducts biennial reviews of its program to: a) determine its effectiveness and implement changes if they are needed, and b) ensure that the sanctions described above are consistently enforced. Those reviews will include use of objective measures that track the levels of alcohol and other drug use, which may consist of such studies as the number of sanctions, the number of referrals for counseling or treatment, instances of drug and alcohol-related vandalism, as well as surveys of student, faculty, and employee perceptions on campus drug and alcohol use problems.

Medical Amnesty Policy: The College is very concerned about both the physical and emotional wellbeing of all students. The College also recognizes that there may be alcohol or other drug-related medical or safety emergencies in which the potential for disciplinary action could act as a deterrent to students who want to seek assistance for themselves or others. The Medical Amnesty Policy is designed to enable dangerously intoxicated or impaired Ibero American College’s students to receive the professional medical treatment they need. When one or more students aid an intoxicated or impaired Ibero American College student by contacting Campus Safety, or other appropriate College staff for assistance, neither the impaired individual nor the student(s) reporting the emergency will be subject to formal disciplinary action for the consumption or possession of alcohol or other drugs. The policy is thus invoked by taking action to notify College staff regarding a student in need of assistance. In rare circumstances, such as cases where other, more serious, violations occur, students may be subject to the student conduct process. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, physical abuse, verbal or physical harassment, disorderly conduct or major property damage or driving while intoxicated or transporting other students or staff while intoxicated. The medical amnesty policy does not preclude the college from referring involved students to participate in an alcohol rehabilitation program. The College encourages students to develop healthy habits and attitudes toward the use of alcohol. Abstinence is always an appropriate option; moderation is acceptable if it does not violate either College policies or the law. The use of any illegal drug will not be tolerated, nor will the consumption of alcohol by underage students. Participation in off-campus activities is a revocable privilege. Students and their staff/faculty advisers should be aware of College policies and federal, state, and local or foreign laws related to alcohol and other drug use. For students participating in credit-bearing academic courses which occur off-campus such as externships should be aware that the use of drugs or alcohol while participating in an externship or to participate in an externship while intoxicated may result in termination of the externship and/or dismissal from the program or externship.

CONSTITUTION DAY AND VOTING REGISTRATION: Each September 17th we celebrate Constitution Day – an opportunity to increase student knowledge about our nation, our constitution and the benefits of living in a working democracy. Ibero American College strongly encourages students to register to vote. Students may register to vote at the school on Constitution Day (unless it is a Sat. or Sun. and then it is postponed until a weekday). Students also may register to vote at www.rockthevote.com, or www.longdistancevoter.com or https://secure.utah.gov/voterreg/index.html .

CAMPUS OPERATIONAL POLICIES Anti-Discrimination Policy and Title IX and VI of the Civil Rights Act: All educational institutions receiving federal financial assistance are required to comply with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, whereby institutions do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, or national origin in the educational programs or activities that they operate. The Institution is subject to these requirements and complies fully. The Administrator is the coordinator at the Institution. All students, faculty, and administrative employees should refer any complaints of discrimination in writing to the coordinator’s attention. Ibero American College takes their anti-discrimination policy seriously. There is no place in health care for personal biases that disenfranchise other people. Ibero American College’s classes, instruction and services are offered on a non-discriminatory basis. Ibero American College, in accordance with applicable federal and state law prohibits discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender/sex, physical or mental disability, medical condition, ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or status as a covered veteran.

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION ACT: The Institution is an equal opportunity employer covered by Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 concerning non-discrimination under federal grants: Section 504. No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States, as defined in Section 7(6) shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The Campus Administrator is the Institution’s Equal Employment Opportunity Administrator. The Equal Employment Opportunity Administrator is responsible for ensuring that all applicants for admission are afforded equal opportunity in accordance with our EEO policy as well as supervising periodic reviews of our physical facilities and current policies, practices, and educational programs. In addition, the administrator is responsible for reviewing all complaints that allege discrimination of any kind.

CAMPUS SECURITY: Security on campus is handled by Student Services. The personnel of this department are empowered to enforce Ibero American College’s health and safety regulations, to investigate incidents, and to apprehend those who violate these regulations or commit crimes on campus. Criminal violators who are apprehended will be turned over to the local police precinct for arrest processing. When necessary, Ibero American College will press charges against the criminal violators. The school prepares its Campus Security policy and crime statistics to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). This report is prepared in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies. Nothing in the law shall be construed to permit a school to retaliate, intimidate, threaten, coerce, or otherwise discriminate against any individual with respect to the implementation of the Clery Act. Ibero American College attempts to provide students and employees with a safe and secure environment in 80 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

which to study and work. The school is open during posted hours. School facilities are secured during times the school is not open. The school has no residence halls. Maintenance staff have keys for the school, offices and classrooms but their access is limited to hours when the school is not open. Do not leave any personal belongings in the school overnight. Overnight parking is prohibited.

PERSONAL SAFETY: While the school attempts to provide a safe and secure environment, students, faculty, staff and campus visitors are ultimately responsible for their own safety. Safety is enhanced when students and employees take precautions such as:  Report all suspicious activity to school personnel as soon as possible.  Never take personal safety for granted.  Avoid walking alone at night. Travel with a friend or companion.  Avoid parking or walking in secluded or dimly lit areas.  Avoid the use of alcohol and illegal drugs on campus and report any alcohol or drug use.  Carry only small amounts of cash.  Never leave valuables (wallets, purses, books, computers, etc.) unattended or left in your car.  Carry your keys with you at all times and don't lend them to anyone.  Lock your car doors and close the windows when leaving your car.  Never leave valuables in your car especially if they are easily noticeable.  Inventory your personal property and make records of the serial numbers of all items of value.  Wear your school uniform and ID badge while on campus.  Do not prop open outside doors – keep the building secure after hours. As the school becomes aware of relevant programs that address responsible practices and procedures that enhance personal safety, such information will be provided to the student.

CRIME STATISTICS AND SAFETY ON CAMPUS: The institution does not assume any liability for damaged or stolen property while on campus or in the parking lot or garage. Students, faculty and staff are asked to keep their personal property in their possession and under their control at all times. The institution encourages all visitors to campus to leave behind expensive jewelry, electronics, or money. The institution has a zero tolerance for theft. Any student, faculty member or staff member who steals property, equipment, supplies or any personal or school property may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Video cameras and recordings may be used in the criminal or civil prosecution of anyone caught stealing.

HATE CRIMES: A hate crime is a criminal offense committed against a person or property which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias. Bias is a performed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on their race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation or ethnicity/national origin. The school reports all hate crime statistics separately for the categories of criminal offenses listed in the chart above. Additionally, hate crimes statistics are also reported separately for the following offenses:  Larceny-theft: is the unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property from the possession or constructive possession of another. Constructive possession is the condition in which a person does not have physical custody or possession but is in a position to exercise dominion or control over a thing.  Simple Assault: is an unlawful physical attack by one person upon another where neither the offender displays a weapon, nor the victim suffers obvious severe or aggravated bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration, or loss of consciousness.  Intimidation: is to unlawfully place another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm through the use of threatening words and/or other conduct, but without displaying a weapon or subjecting the victim to actual physical attack.  Destructive/Damage/Vandalism of Property: Is to willfully or maliciously destroy, damage, deface or otherwise injury real or personal property without the consent of the owner or the person having custody or control of it. There were no reported hate crimes for the years 2011, 2012, or 2013. The school is required, in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes, report to the campus community on the following crimes:  Criminal homicide o Murder and non-negligent manslaughter o Negligent manslaughter  Sex Offenses – forcible and non- forcible Robbery  Aggravated assault  Burglary  Motor Vehicle theft  Arson  Arrests for liquor law violations, drug law violations and illegal weapons possession o Include persons who were referred for disciplinary action. 

Hate crimes – evidence that shows the victim was intentionally selected because of the victim’s actual or perceived race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability Crimes reported to campus security or local police agencies and considered by the school to represent a threat to students and employees School NOT required to provide a timely warning with respect to crimes reported to a professional counselor If there is an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus, the school must follow its emergency notification procedures.

REPORTING A CRIME: If a student or employee is aware that a crime has been, or is being, committed on school property or at a school sponsored or recognized event off-campus during the hours that the school is open, the crime should be reported as soon as possible to the Student Services’ Office. The Student Service’s Office is down the hall past the main office just before the women’s bathrooms. Other emergencies should also be reported to the Student Services Office. If the crime has been committed when the school is closed, it should be reported to the Student Services Office as soon as possible after school is open. In addition to reporting the crime to the Student Services Office, the crime should be reported to local law enforcement authorities. The local Police Department may be reached by dialing 911. 83 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

School Personnel have authority to determine whether individuals have lawful business at the school and may request identification to make that determination. In addition, they have the authority to ensure that school policies, such as break time and building access, are followed. The school works with local law enforcement agencies and refers criminal incidents to the local police department having jurisdiction over such matters. The Campus Director will work with local law enforcement, as appropriate, when a crime is reported. Crimes reported to the Student Services’ Office are included in the annual campus crime statistics. In addition, the school requests from the local Police Department crime information not reported to the Student Services Office that is appropriate for inclusion in the annual campus crime statistics. Further, if circumstances warrant, the school community will be notified if an on-going threat is posed related to a reported crime. If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action through the school or the criminal justice system, you may still consider making a confidential report. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. Reports filed in this manner are included in the annual crime statistics for the school. The school does not tolerate violence or other threatening conduct against any members of the school community. This includes criminal acts against persons or property, as well as harassment based on sex, race, ethnicity, or disability. The school will impose strict disciplinary actions and appropriately involve law enforcement officials should any acts of violence or threatening conduct occur on school facilities or at schoolsponsored events. This includes acts of violence against women. School representatives must inform persons they are working with of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics.

SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RELATED CRIMES: In the event of a sexual assault or domestic violence, please be aware of the following:  preserve any evidence of the assault (do not drink, bathe, change clothing, or comb hair, as this may destroy evidence that may be needed to prosecute the offender)  go to a place where it is safe from further attack and notify the police  obtain immediate medical attention  seek professional counseling If requested by the student who is the victim of a sexual assault, the school will assist the student in notifying law enforcement. In addition, the school Campus Director’s Office will provide information on off-campus agencies that provide services to victims of a sex offense. The school encourages students and employees to take advantage of the materials and programs that promote awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, and other forcible and non-forcible sex offenses available through the school and/or local community agencies. Information about such materials and programs is available from the Student Services desk. The Externship Coordinator/Tutor is available to help with any of these resources and referrals to agencies that can help. In addition to any criminal sanctions, the school will impose appropriate disciplinary sanctions if the offender is a student or employee of the school. The school Campus Director’s Office should be contacted should one wish to file a complaint. Also, note that, in cases of sexual assault complaints:  both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during the disciplinary hearing and  both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of any disciplinary proceeding based on an allegation of sexual assault. The school will work with the victim, should it be requested, in making such changes as can reasonably be accommodated relative to the student’s academic situation. As part of Orientation, the school provides a description of programs designed to inform students and employees about the prevention of crime. 84 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

A Timely Warning: The Clery Act requires the school to alert the campus community to certain crimes in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. A timely warning will be issued as soon as the pertinent information is available. The school will:  Confirm there is a significant emergency or threat  Determine appropriate segment of campus community to receive notification  Determine the content of the notification  A school representative will post an announcement in Moodle which effectively notifies all enrolled students on campus.  Disseminate emergency information to larger community as necessary, such as issues related to emergencies, or issues on the campus itself. These notifications will be managed by person in charge and will include notices of outbreaks of contagious diseases, reports of crimes, acts of terror, or other emergencies that may impact the larger community.  Annually test the emergency fire response system as required by Utah law.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY: No safety rule is a complete substitute for common sense, nor can safety rules be devised to cover every situation. Good judgment must be used in every situation. Follow approved practices and procedures or standards which apply, on any work you perform for the school.  

  



Report to your instructor any condition which might injure any person or damage any property. Any injury which occurs at school, no matter how slight, or any accident that causes damage to property shall be reported immediately to the School President. All injuries and accidents should be reported to the Supervisor/Instructor by the end of the day. If anyone observes another who is about to endanger themselves, another person, or property while at the School, they should intervene immediately in such a way as to not endanger themselves. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the School property and use of such is prohibited. No one is to report for work or class evidencing any effects of alcoholic consumption. Controlled substances, such as heroin and cocaine, are illegal by state and federal law (as laws change regarding the legality of the use of marijuana, the use is prohibited on school grounds). Their use and possession are prohibited on school property. Liquids such as water or oil, excessive dust/dirt, or any other debris spilled on floors represent serious slipping hazards and should be cleaned up immediately upon observation.

STUDENT INJURIES AND PREVENTION: Students are advised that they are at risk for exposure to blood borne pathogens and infections due to the nature of their training and clinical and externship opportunities. Appropriate and careful adherence to safety guidelines and procedures reduces the incidence of exposure. Ibero American College conforms to a written Blood borne Pathogen Control and Infectious Disease Plan. The plan is available to any student. A student that is injured during portions of his or her training must report the injury to a school representative. If emergency treatment is required, the student should report to the nearest Emergency Department. Any life-threatening injury must be reported by student and instructor. Significant exposures to communicable disease should be handled in the same manner. Exposures include needle sticks, splashing of mucus membranes with blood or body fluids, droplet contamination or close contact with a patient with an airborne transmitted disease, etc. Students are responsible for all medical care and treatment necessary in the event of an incidence or exposure. The school assumes no legal responsibility for student injury. All students attend training at their own risk and must sign a Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk prior to attending any courses, workshops or programs. 85 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

ACCIDENT AND INVESTIGATION REPORTING: Anyone who suffers an injury during school shall promptly report such injury to the Supervisor/ Instructor no later than end of the period on the day in which the injury occurred. Every accident shall be investigated to determine the cause and the steps needed to prevent a recurrence. It shall be the responsibility of the Supervisor/Instructor to obtain the complete and detailed facts of the accident as soon as possible after it occurs and to see that the required reports are made to the Administration.

FIREARMS: Firearms, ammunition, explosives or other weapons are prohibited on the school property. Exceptions to this policy are limited to the following instances:  

Department of Public Safety and other law enforcement agencies in performance of their normal duties may carry firearms on School property and TCLEOSE approved students.

REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS: The Jacob Wetterling Act requires states to obtain information concerning registered sex offenders’ enrollment or employment at institutions of higher education. Those seeking to obtain information about registered sex offenders should visit the following website: www.nsopr.gov. Utah has a Sex Offender Registry online as well and can be found at the following website: http://corrections.utah.gov/index.php/probationparole/sexoffender-registry-unit.html. Further, to the extent the State notifies an educational institution of information concerning registered sex offenders, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) does not prevent educational institutions from disclosing such information. Disciplinary Proceedings The school will, upon written request, disclose to the alleged victim of a crime of violence, or a non-forcible sex offense, the results of any disciplinary hearing conducted by the school against the student who is the alleged perpetrator of the crime or offense. If the alleged victim is deceased as a result of the crime or offense, the school will provide the results of the disciplinary hearing to the victim’s next of kin, if so requested. The school does not have a campus police department or security office and therefore does not keep a daily crime log. However the Campus Director keeps an updated list of any criminal activity. An annual report of all campus crimes, and Cole Holland’s Campus Security policies, will be distribute to all students, faculty and staff upon enrollment/employment and by October 1 of each year. The report is prepared by obtaining crime statistics from the local police department for the campus. The report also includes any crimes reported to Ibero American College directly. Students and employees are encouraged to report all crimes to the local police department. The report contains information and crime statistics for the three previous calendar years regarding crimes that occurred on campus; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible to the campus. The report also contains information regarding campus security and personal safety topics such as crime prevention, fire safety, crime reporting policies, disciplinary procedures and other information related to safety and security on campus. This information is provided by Ibero American College in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, 1990. EMERGENCY RESPONSE – CAMPUS COMMUNITY: The School has instituted a plan to notify the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus. An immediate threat encompasses an imminent or impending threat, such as an approaching forest fire, or a fire currently raging in one of the school’s buildings. Any employee who perceives an immediate threat toward any other person on the school premises, 86 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

is authorized to make an emergency call to 911. Notification will be both by e-mail and through texting. Each student upon entrance to the institution will be required to supply the institution with both an e-mail address and a cell phone number. The institution will, without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency. Instructors and/or staff members should remain in the room with their students if they are notified of a possible emergency. The Emergency committee will confirm that there is a significant emergency, determine who to notify, determine content of the notification and initiate the notification system. The Emergency Committee will consist of the Director of the School, the Registrar and the Director of Finance. They will call the Police and/or Fire Department as needed. These procedures will be tested and evaluated at least once a year. The emergency response and evacuation procedures will be publicized and documented. The Clery regulations define a test as regularly scheduled drills, exercises and appropriate follow-through activities designed for assessment and evaluation of emergency plans and capabilities. Good Housekeeping Good Housekeeping is essential to safe operation. It will result in fewer accidents and will reduce fire hazards. All spills should be cleaned up promptly to eliminate slipping and fire hazards. All work areas must be kept free of debris and other objects which create hazards. Cleaning up the area where you are working is part of class participation. A class is not completed until the area is cleaned up. Do not dispose of cups that contain liquids in the classroom trash. Instead, take it to the break room, empty it in the sink and dispose of the container.

INCIDENT REPORTING POLICY: Through the careful attentiveness of our instructors and students, many incidents or potential incidents are avoided. However, there may be an occasion when an incident occurs. An incident is any happening that is not consistent with the routine operation of the school, class or clinical study. It may be an accident or a situation that could result in an accident. An accident could be a fall, laceration, abrasion, bruise or burn. An incident could have been the result of a student falling, or stubbing a toe while walking. Either situation could be life threatening, depending on the students’ situation and physical condition. The Incident Report Form is to be completed whenever there is an incident involving any Student or instructor. Students are expected to follow school policies to prevent incidents and seek assistance immediately in the event of an incident. The reporting of incidents and the investigation are part of the school’s Performance Improvement Program. Trends or problem areas will be brought to the attention of the appropriate committee. PURPOSE  To ensure a mechanism is in place for reporting and documenting all accidents, occupational illness, property damage, injuries, and safety hazards related to staff, instructors or Students.  To document the school’s investigation and response to each incident.  To identify processes and/or systems that require change to reduce risk to school, staff, instructors and Students. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. Students will document and report all incidents that deviate from routine school operations and will or could result in injury or potential harm to a Student or instructor. 2.

The plan establishes guidelines for isolation as needed, respiratory protection education and training as required by clinical and externship sites. FIRST AID: A First Aid station and Eye Wash station is located by the restrooms. Included in the First Aid kit are supplies to deal with wounds, cuts, burns, abrasions etc. All supplies are available to students. The eye wash station has appropriate saline solution safe for irrigating eyes safely. If possible please contact a faculty member who is also a licensed health care provider – nurse, EMT, Paramedic etc. Most of the time one or more on teaching. REPORTS TO PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS: Data obtained through surveillance activities shall be appropriately organized and reported to Public Health officials in a timely manner for their review and action as required. 88 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

STUDENT HEALTH: The school has developed policies and procedures related to surveillance, prevention and control of Student infection, including collecting a Student health survey, abiding by all requirements of clinical and externship sites, encouraging immunizations and maintenance of immunization records, and instructing regarding reducing or eliminating exposures to Blood Borne Pathogens and other infectious agents. The school will work with Students to create new programs, resolve problems, and promote knowledge of their responsibilities in personal health and Infection Control.

SEVERE WEATHER Tornado If (in the judgment of the President or administrator in charge) the threat of impending danger warrants it, the following actions may be taken:  Dismissal of all classes and assembly of students and employees into



interior hallways and away from glass windows, doors and partitions.  Everyone should remain in these “safe” areas until in the opinion of the President (or administrator in charge) the threat of danger is past. If the tornado or destructive wind strikes the building, everyone should sit on the floor, with backs against the wall, their heads between their knees, and their hands clasped over the backs of their heads until all danger is past.

Flooding: During periods of flooding, the President will remain in contact with appropriate authorities and will keep both students and employees advised of local road conditions. Ice and Snow: In the event that ice and/or snow threaten to make highway travel hazardous, the President may dismiss classes to allow commuters to return home safely. Closing the School as the Result of Severe Weather: Only the President or a person designated by the President has the authority to close the School. When this action is taken, the President will notify the students and faculty. In addition, it will be posted on the School’s website and notices will be posted in Moodle – the classroom learning environment which will send an email message to all students. When possible, text messages or phone calls will be made as well. If you are in doubt about whether the school is open in the event of severe weather, please call the school and do not assume it is closed. Self-Determination Policy: No student will attempt to attend class and no employee will report to work if, by their opinion or by the warning of law enforcement officials, travel conditions in their area are unsafe (or if other circumstances would place their lives/health in jeopardy).

EVACUATION PROCEDURES: The school maintains an Emergency Response Plan. A copy of this plan is provided at orientation and is available in the Student Services Office. The school may also test emergency response and evacuation procedures periodically through drills or exercises. Ibero American College has determined that in the event of a fire, the institution has provided an evacuation plan and has on hand; oxygen, a first aid kit, an eye wash station, fire extinguishers, and blankets. Training: New hires are oriented to the evacuation plan and are made aware of emergency preparedness equipment and supplies as well as lockdown procedures. Most instructors and many students on campus are certified in First Aid and CPR, and the use of an AED. Students are oriented to the plan 89 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

during orientation. Communication: The campus is small and circular making communication with classes and people inside easy but in the event of a lockdown situation or other emergency that prohibits communication by shouting or visiting rooms, the staff and instructors are encouraged to communicate with admin, emergency personnel, students and other faculty members via the intra-communication system on the computer or via cell phone. Lockdown Policy: As recommended by the U.S. Department of Education, Ibero American College follows the new “Run, Hide, Fight” protocol for dealing with armed intruders. The policy asks students, staff and faculty to use a more assertive approach to surviving such an incident. Instead of staying in lockdown mode, students, staff and faculty are advised to use whatever means there are to run, or hide or fight – this may mean running outside, using a fire extinguisher or other device to assault the assailant, hiding in unusual places or using deceptive techniques to distract or disorient the intruder including pulling fire alarms. The staff is in the process of evaluating the recently published “Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans” booklet, published by the U.S. Department of Education and FEMA for a more formal policy. Media Contact: No person other than the administrator or her designee is permitted to discuss any emergency event, evacuation or incident with the media. Emergency Evacuation Plan: All students, administrative staff, and faculty of Ibero American College, as well as its visitors, are expected to cooperate in evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency. Towards that end Ibero American College has undertaken the following preparatory protocols. 1. Exit Identification. There are THREE EXITS from the second floor and they are clearly marked. Two exits exist that lead students to the main landing with stairs and an elevator. An additional exit is on the west side of the floor and is an emergency exit only. This staircase is unlocked on the school side at all times but is always locked from the other side, allowing exit but preventing entrance. These lead to the first floor exit where there are two exits – one leading to the back parking lot and one to the front street. 2. Fire Exits have lighted overhead EXIT signs. 3. In the event of an evacuation, all students, instructors, staff and visitors are directed to exit the building and gather at the SAFE WAIT Area which is the NORTH side of the Kiwanis Felt building next door to the north of the school. Students who exit either way, to the parking lot or the front yard should meet at the SAFE WAIT area for a head count. } 4. Equipment. Ibero American College has a fire extinguisher located in two locations on each side of the core. Additionally, a fire alarm system is in place and will alert the fire department if pulled. The corridor is rated with a two hour burn meaning fire from the hallway cannot enter a classroom for two hours and a fire in the classroom cannot enter the hallway for two hours. 5. Rescue Assistants. Some people with disabilities may choose to identify personal rescue assistants who will volunteer to do some or all of the following for them: Know his/her likely schedule, Keep back-up medication, equipment, or mobility devices Stay with them while awaiting rescue assistance as long as they are not in danger themselves and Report the location of the person awaiting rescue assistance. 6. Shelter in Place. Where no other option is available, a person with a disability can stay in place (e.g., office, classroom) to await evacuation. It is the responsibility of every member of the Ibero American community to immediately communicate to 9-1-1/or emergency personnel the location of individuals unable to evacuate. 7. Everyone Can Help. All members of the community are asked to be aware that some individuals, including persons with disabilities may need assistance in the event of an emergency. In addition to those with mobility impairments, people with hearing and visual impairments may need to be alerted and given further instruction in emergency situations. People with visual impairments and campus visitors will likely need additional assistance as buildings and evacuation routes will be unfamiliar. 90 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

CAMPUS WEAPON AND VIOLENCE POLICY: Ibero American College is concerned about society's increased violence including the prevalence of school place violence. Sadly, as recent events often dramatize, violence in public life is far too common and the loss of life too costly. For this reason, Ibero American College, as permitted by law, has adopted a policy regarding weapons, guns and other destructive devises that prohibit such items on the premises during all hours of the day or night and weekends. To help prevent incidents of violence from occurring, Ibero American College is implementing this policy on school place violence. It is the policy of Ibero American College to expressly prohibit any acts or threats of violence by any person working or visiting the premises against any other person in or about the building or elsewhere on the premises including the front lawn, parking stalls, parking garage, lobby, etc. at any time, and to prohibit the possession of a weapon or firearm while on premises which includes vehicles parked on premises. 92 - Ibero American College Student Course Catalog – Revised November 23, 2016

According to the statute, an alternate parking area is available to tenants and their customers in close proximity to the parking garage which includes street parking. Ibero American College will not condone or tolerate any acts or threats of violence against any person at any time while on premises. In keeping with the spirit and intent of this policy, Ibero American College will: 1. Provide a safe and healthful learning environment, in accordance with OSHA and other regulatory bodies as possible or required by law. 2. Take prompt remedial action up to and including immediate removal of any individual who engages in any threatening behavior or acts of violence or who uses any obscene, abusive, or threatening language or gestures 3. Take appropriate action when dealing with visitors to the building or to any business located in the building who engages in such behavior. Such action may include notifying the police or other law enforcement personnel and prosecuting violators of this policy to the maximum extent of the law. 4. Prohibit any and all persons from bringing firearms or other weapons onto the premises, including the lobby, stairwells, classrooms, break rooms, restrooms, waiting areas, outside lawns or flower beds or parking lots and garages Firearms and weapons of any kind are banned from the premises. Those students who are unnerved by the prospect of engaging unarmed in the human interactions that occur while in transit to and from school, or while engaged in classroom interactions are, of course, at liberty to seek an education in an environment which has adopted the philosophy that a safe and productive school environment is best achieved with armed students and instructors. Any student found in violation of this policy will be dismissed from the program immediately and removed from the property.
