ADMISSION

PROCEDURES FOR ADMISSION

Berkeley College seeks to provide students with an education that balances academic preparation, professional training, and hands-on experience. The College considers students for admission on the basis of future potential and the motivation and interest to succeed in a chosen profession as well as on past academic achievement.

Graduation from high school or the equivalent, and an entrance exam or SAT/ACT scores are basic requirements for admission. Documentation of successful completion of high school or the equivalent must be submitted to the College prior to starting classes.

A personal interview is strongly recommended. Applicants are encouraged to call the Director of Admissions at the location of their choice to arrange for an appointment with an admissions counselor to discuss their educational objectives and career plans and to receive a tour of the College. For further information, students also can call the College at 800-446-5400, Ext. PO1 or email [email protected].

Since Berkeley maintains a rolling admissions policy, students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The Committee on Admissions notifi es applicants of a decision as soon as all credentials have been evaluated.

High School Applicants: To be considered for admission, the following information must be submitted:

• An application for admission (www.BerkeleyCollege.edu/Apply) and a non-refundable $50 application fee

• Certifi cation of high school graduation or the equivalent as certifi ed by state departments of education is required.

Adult Applicants: Many adult students are striving to balance work and family with college studies, while others have not yet found the time to reenter or even begin college. To meet these special requirements, Berkeley College has established an Adult Admissions Department which provides an environment that is sensitive to the needs of adult students.

Seven convenient locations in the New York City, Westchester, and New Jersey metropolitan areas and an online option provide exceptional convenience and fl exibility, as students have the option of combining day, evening, weekend, and online classes at more than one campus. In addition, academic advisors provide professional guidance to adult students who may be able to earn credit for college-level learning acquired through experience.

Adult students who have previously attended college should follow the procedures for transfer applicants. Adults who are fi rst-time college students must submit the following information to be considered for admission:



Online Degree Applicants: The Online Admissions Department works with busy adults who are unable to attend classes on campus and wish to earn their degree entirely online. Applicants must successfully complete a short introductory online course to familiarize themselves with online learning prior to course registration. Interested students should call 800-446-5400, Ext. PO1 or email [email protected].

Transfer Applicants: Students who graduated from high school or the equivalent and then attended another college or university are considered transfer students. To be considered for admission, the following information must be submitted:



If all post-secondary institutions previously attended are not listed on the admission application, transfer credit may not be granted and the student becomes subject to disciplinary action.

International Applicants: The International Student Department works with each location to provide assistance to international students in such areas as immigration, visas, housing, orientation to college, and adjustment to American life. This offi ce is located at Berkeley’s New York City Campus. Students can contact the International Student Department by phone (212-687-3730), fax (212-986-7827) or email ([email protected]).

International students applying for admission should submit an international application form (www.BerkeleyCollege.edu/Apply); a transcript of previously completed education, in English; a TOEFL score, if appropriate; and certifi cation of fi nances.

TRANSFER CREDIT POLICIES

Students must complete a minimum of 25 percent of the credits required for their degree in residence at Berkeley College.

Transfer Credit: Berkeley College will accept transfer credits from accredited post-secondary institutions for courses in which the student earned a minimum grade of C and that are applicable to the student’s program at Berkeley. Foreign transcripts are evaluated using guidelines from World Educational Services, Inc.

Transfer credit is transcripted as CR and is not part of the GPA calculation. Transferability of credit is recorded on a student’s transcript upon receipt of an offi cial transcript.

Upper Division: To be admitted directly to an Upper Division, students must have completed either a relevant Associate’s degree or at least 60 semester/90 quarter credits in appropriate course work with a grade of C or better at Berkeley College or another accredited institution.

Credit by Challenge Examination: Advanced placement and appropriate academic credit will be granted to students passing challenge exams who demonstrate mastery of any course offered by Berkeley College. Credit is transcripted as CE and is not part of the GPA calculation.

Credit by Advanced Placement Examination: Students who have taken college-level courses in high school and who have passed the Advanced Placement exams given by the College Board will receive credit for those courses if they are applicable to their program at Berkeley College. Credit is transcripted as CR and is not part of the GPA calculation.

Credit from Articulation Agreements: Berkeley College will grant credit from tech-prep agreements or other articulation agreements with high schools and other postsecondary institutions. Credit is transcripted as CR and is not part of the GPA calculation.

Credit for Prior Learning: Many adults have acquired learning outside the classroom. In some cases, that learning is college level and can earn college credit. The College assesses portfolios for possible credit. Developing a portfolio to document learning is based on the assumption that learning can take place in settings other than a formal classroom. Over the course of a quarter, the student will work with a faculty member and, through the process of refl ection, analysis, and articulation, develop the narratives and support documentation necessary to earn college credits for college-level learning. A fully documented experiential learning portfolio must be submitted for faculty evaluation. Credit is transcripted as CP and is not part of the GPA calculation.

Berkeley College grants credit as recommended by standard assessment guides, including National PONSI (Program on Noncollegiate-Sponsored Instruction); ACE (The American Council on Education); and DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support). The College also grants credit for acceptable scores on national standardized examinations including CLEP (College-Level Examination Program); ACT-PEP (American College Testing-Profi ciency Examination Program); and for professional certifi cation exams in the ACE exam guide. The academic advisor will counsel students, review the possibilities for credit recognition, and determine the best method for assessment.

TUITION PAYMENTS

Tuition is payable in advance. Tuition may be paid in person, by mail, or online through Student Self-Service. The Student Accounts Department accepts payment by cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, or American Express.

Billing for tuition and fees is done on a quarterly basis, although the student may make one payment in full for the entire academic year.

Instructions for registration and payment of term bills are sent by mail to all students for their fi rst term. Subsequent term bill information is available to students online through Student Self-Service six weeks prior to the start of each term. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain and pay the term bill on time. Students who fail to do so are charged a late registration fee.

The College reserves the right to make any changes in the schedule of hours or in the courses of study that may be desirable.

TUITION REFUND POLICY

If a student offi cially withdraws or is dismissed from the College during a quarter, credit for that quarter will be issued as follows:

Notifi cation date during

• First and second weeks .............................................................. 90%

• Third week ...................................................................................... 50%

• Fourth through sixth weeks ....................................................... 25%

• After the sixth week ........................................................................ 0%

Students who cease attendance but do not offi cially withdraw may be liable for 100 percent of charges for the quarter. Sample tuition refund calculations are available on Blackboard. To offi cially withdraw, students must contact the Advisement Department.

A student’s enrollment status is determined at the end of the add/drop period (week two). At that time the student is charged, and any fi nancial aid is paid based on the enrollment status. Individual course drops after week two do not entitle the student to a refund for that course.

Balances in excess of charges, including deposits, held at the time of withdrawal or dismissal, will be applied to outstanding charges. Any overpayment of tuition will be refunded.

Residence and food service charges are made by the quarter; once the quarter has started, there will be no refunds.

Students who withdraw from the College prior to the end of the academic term may have their fi nancial aid adjusted. Eligibility for disbursement of federal and state funds will be recalculated in accordance with federal and state regulations. Refunds will be made in accordance with the federal refund allocation schedule.

Institutional aid will not be refunded to the student. Berkeley institutional fi nancial aid awards are earned ratably each quarter during the tuition refund period. Students who withdraw or are dismissed during or after week seven of the quarter will retain 100 percent of their awards.

MISCELLANEOUS COSTS

Costs for textbooks, supplies, fi eld trips, and other classroom-related expenses are estimated at $1,360 per academic year. Living expenses can vary considerably. Estimated room and board costs for students not living in Berkeley College facilities range between $3,600 and $12,500 per academic year. Personal expenses are estimated to be $3,000, and transportation averages $3,000 per academic year. Actual expenses vary based on personal situations and choices.

RESIDENCE

Residence facilities should be reserved well in advance. Priorities on apartments and room assignments are based on the date residence deposits are received. An advance deposit of $400 is due with the residence application. Of this amount, $200 is credited toward the fi nal quarter’s rent; the remaining $200 is held as a “breakage” deposit until the student has checked out satisfactorily.

The balance of the fee must be paid prior to moving into the residence. If a residence reservation is canceled, the advance deposit is refunded only if the College receives notice in writing at least 60 days prior to the opening of the quarter for which the student originally was accepted.

HOW TO APPLY

Each year, aid applicants must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application should be submitted to the federal processor online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If assistance is required or access to the Internet is not available, the application may be submitted in person to the campus Financial Aid Department or via U.S. mail to the federal processor. The Financial Aid Department may request additional documentation to support the student’s request for fi nancial assistance, including signed copies of federal and state income tax returns. The student’s fi nancial aid package cannot be fi nalized until the Financial Aid Department has received all requested documentation. State grant recipients may also be required to submit additional documentation directly to the state agency administering the grant. Renewal of fi nancial aid is not automatic. Recipients are required to reapply each year by the announced deadline.

Federal and state aid will be awarded to students based on need and enrollment level as determined by federal and state formulas. Berkeley College need-based aid will be awarded to students who have borrowed their annual maximum Stafford loan, and have unmet need after federal and state aid has been awarded.

In an effort to reduce the loan burden during the student’s fi rst year, Berkeley College will attempt to package new students with a higher percentage of need-based aid. As Stafford Loan eligibility increases, need-based institutional aid may be reduced.

Federal, state, and institutional grants and loans will be disbursed onto student accounts to cover direct educational costs. Disbursements in excess of direct costs will be refunded to the student (or parent, in the case of a PLUS Loan). Federal Work Study earnings will be paid directly to the student via check on a bi-monthly basis for actual hours worked.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

Federal Pell Grant: The Federal Pell Grant program provides awards of up to $4,731 per academic year for fi nancially eligible undergraduate students who previously have not earned a Bachelor’s degree. Recipients must be United States citizens or eligible noncitizens enrolled in degree or certifi cate programs. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed when applying for fi nancial assistance.

Federal Loans: Berkeley College participates in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. Eligible students and their parents borrow Stafford and/or PLUS Loans directly from the U.S. Department of Education, and repay the loans directly to the U.S. Department of Education. Promissory Notes are available on the Internet at https://dlenote.ed.gov/empn/index.jsp. Various repayment and deferment options exist for federal loans, (including but not limited to deferments for service under the Peace Corps Act; service under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, and comparable service as a volunteer for a tax exempt organization in the fi eld of community service). All students will be provided entrance counseling that describes these options prior to loan disbursement.

Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan: Available to students who are enrolled at least half-time and have fi nancial need. A fi xed interest rate of 6.8 percent applies,

New York State Tuition Assistance Program Good

Academic Standing Requirements: A student is considered in “good standing,” meeting program pursuit standards, and making satisfactory academic progress to receive New York State Tuition Assistance Program grants, if the minimum requirements established are maintained.

Pursuit of Program: Students must have and maintain a full-time enrollment status to receive a TAP award. “Full-time” is defi ned as 12 quarter credit hours per term (quarter).

A student may register for up to 18 credit hours in a term (or up to 21 with special approval by the Advisement Department); however, enrollment in more than 12 credit hours does not entitle the student to a TAP award that is greater than the per-term award maximum for 12 quarter credit hours.

A student must earn 24 quarter credit hours in an aid year, exclusive of College Skills courses, in order to receive a fourth TAP payment for the spring quarter.

New York State regulations allow a “medical/health waiver” if a student is unable to engage in full-time study due to health or medical reasons. Granting of this waiver is extremely rare, is not routine, and its use is not encouraged.

Full-Time Associate’s degree students must complete required credit hours, exclusive of College Skills courses, according to the following schedule to maintain “program pursuit:”

Term/Payment Must Receive a Grade For:

1st Quarter at least 6 Qtr. Credit Hrs. [50% of FT]

2nd Quarter at least 6 Qtr. Credit Hrs. [50% of FT]

3rd Quarter at least 9 Qtr. Credit Hrs. [75% of FT]

4th Quarter at least 9 Qtr. Credit Hrs. [75% of FT]

TAP Academic Standing

If a student is unable to meet the “program pursuit” or “satisfactory progress” standards during any term in which a TAP grant was received, the student loses eligibility for a TAP award in the subsequent term.

When a student who has received a TAP award offi cially or unoffi cially withdraws from all scheduled classes during a term, the student automatically loses TAP eligibility for the subsequent term.

If a student successfully completes a term and is otherwise making satisfactory progress for both state and federal fi nancial aid, but fails to enroll for the subsequent term, TAP eligibility upon re-enrollment at some later date is unaffected.

If a student is subject to dismissal under either the federal or state progress policy, and an appeal under the federal policy is granted by the College, the student remains ineligible for a TAP award during the subsequent term.

Reinstatement of Good Academic Standing: A student who loses good academic standing for TAP may have this standing restored in one of the following ways: (1) remedying academic defi ciencies and meeting good academic standing requirements by completing one term of study without TAP program funds; (2) successful appeal to the Financial Aid Director after readmission to the College after an absence of at least one calendar year; (3) transferring to another institution; or (4) applying for and receiving a one-time waiver based on extenuating circumstances. TAP appeals and waivers must be approved by the Director of Financial Aid.

One-Time Waiver of Good Academic Standing

Requirement: A one-time waiver of the good academic standing requirement may be granted during a student’s period of enrollment. This waiver is permitted under New York State regulations for extraordinary or unusual cases where the student was unable to successfully complete the required academic coursework due to mitigating circumstances. For example, a waiver may be warranted for: a) death of a spouse or parent; b) divorce or separation; c) extreme illness documented by a physician; or d) other unusual or extraordinary reason beyond the student’s control that is documented and approved by the Director of Financial Aid. When applying for a waiver, students must demonstrate that the circumstances which impeded their academic performance have been resolved.

BERKELEY FINANCIAL AID

Alumni Association Scholarships: Berkeley offers 160 partial- and eight full-tuition scholarships which are awarded annually to high school seniors who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement in high school.

The date the student notifi es the Advisement Department will be used for tuition refund calculations. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the Financial Aid and Student Accounts Departments prior to withdrawing for an explanation of the tuition and fi nancial aid adjustments that may occur. Berkeley College institutional fi nancial aid awards are earned ratably each quarter during the tuition refund period. Students who withdraw or are dismissed during or after week seven of the quarter will retain 100 percent of their awards.

Students will fi nd that one major difference between Berkeley College’s Alumni Relations Department and other college departments is that graduates are invited back to the College to share their experiences with the students. Graduates are also encouraged to help current students enter into internships and full-time careers in the company or organization where they work.

In addition to fulfi lling social, professional, educational, and service objectives, the Alumni Association awards 140 partial- and 7 full-tuition scholarships annually to deserving high school students.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

AND PROCEDURES

ACADEMIC YEAR

Calendar: Berkeley College’s calendar includes four terms organized on the quarter system. The fall quarter begins in September, followed by the winter quarter in January, the spring quarter in April, and the summer quarter in July.

An academic year is comprised of three terms totaling 36 weeks, and a full-time student is expected to complete a minimum of 36 quarter credit hours in that time. Academic years that span the summer quarter are comprised of 35 weeks. The campuses are closed on some legal holidays. The current academic calendar at the end of this Catalog specifi es the exact dates.

The Quarter System: All courses are evaluated in terms of quarter hours of credit.

Class Hours: Generally, instructional hours are from 8 a.m. through 11 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. on weekends.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

Matriculation Status: A matriculated student is one who is offi cially enrolled in a degree or credit-bearing certifi cate program. Students who wish to take only a single subject or a combination of subjects are welcome as nonmatriculated students.

College Skills: All new matriculated students, including transfer students and those entering Berkeley College as fi rst-time freshmen, are assessed to determine competency levels in reading, writing, and mathematics. When this assessment indicates a need, students are scheduled for one or more of the following College Skills courses designed to ensure their successful transition to college life: College Reading Skills, College Writing Skills, and/or Fundamentals of Mathematics.

While all students may attempt to complete Associate’s degrees in 18 months and Baccalaureate degrees in three years, the College encourages students who need one or more College Skills courses to consider extending their programs to ensure that they have the basic skills essential to academic success. These courses may be waived for students who have passed basic skills courses with a grade of C or better at other colleges.

All College Skills courses must be successfully completed within the fi rst academic year. Until that time students should carry no more than 16 credit hours per quarter. Students required to take College Skills courses must receive a passing grade in order to complete their programs and graduate from the College. Students also have the option of meeting basic skills requirements by taking independent programs through the Academic Support Center prior to their fi rst quarter.

College Skills courses carry equivalency units that are not counted toward graduation requirements. However, these courses are included in the determination of the full- or part-time enrollment status for a term, and fi nancial aid disbursements are made based on this status.

Attendance: If illness, accident, or similar circumstances require absence for three or more consecutive days, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the Advisement Department and contact faculty to make up assignments and/or tests.

Students are subject to withdrawal from the College for nonparticipation in all of their courses.

Returning students who have not attended class by the fi rst class day of the second week of the quarter will be withdrawn for the quarter.

College Closing: Since business offi ces seldom close due to inclement weather, classes are in session whenever possible. In cases of extreme weather or emergencies, however, the closing of each College campus will be made available over the Internet at www.closings.BerkeleyCollege.edu and by phone as an option on the automated phone menu at each location.

Schedules for delayed openings due to inclement weather are posted on Blackboard (and at www.closings.BerkeleyCollege.edu).

Add/Drop Policy: Students may add a course or courses to their schedules prior to the start of the second week of the quarter.

Courses dropped during the fi rst two weeks of classes do not appear on the student’s transcript. Students who drop a course or courses (including College Skills courses) and reduce their quarter credit hours to fewer than 12 (or the equivalent) prior to the enrollment status determination should notify the Financial Aid Department. This action may adversely affect eligibility for fi nancial aid.

Cancelled Classes: The College reserves the right to cancel courses or scheduled sections of courses at its discretion.

Leaves of Absence: A one-quarter academic leave of absence (LOA) may be granted at the discretion of the Advisement Department for students who are fi nancially cleared. Students who take a leave of absence will be charged the prevailing rate of tuition and residence at the time of their return. A leave of absence may be requested only at the end of a term for the subsequent term.

EVALUATION AND GRADING

Grading System: At the end of each quarter a single, fi nal grade is recorded for each scheduled course. Academic standing at Berkeley is based upon the grading system shown below.

Computation of Grade Point Average (GPA): To compute the GPA for the quarter, each letter grade is converted to the grade point equivalent listed below. Then, that grade point is multiplied by the number of credits designated for the course. This procedure is followed for each course.

Next, the number of grade point equivalents for all courses is added. That total is then divided by the total number of credits attempted for the quarter. The result is the quarter GPA. (College Skills courses are not included in the computation of the GPA.)

Incomplete Grade: Inability to complete course work due to documented circumstances beyond the student’s control (such as severe illness) may, at the discretion of the instructor, result in a grade of I. However, all work must be completed by the end of the fi rst week of the following quarter. If all work is not completed by that time, the I grade becomes an F. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor to make the necessary arrangements for makeup work.

Course Withdrawal: Students who wish to drop a course must do so in writing and must have the approval of the Advisement Department. Courses dropped during the fi rst two weeks of classes do not appear on the student’s transcript. Withdrawal from a course between weeks three and nine results in a grade of WP or WF, which indicates whether the student was passing or failing the course at the time it was dropped. A grade of W will be assigned to students who enrolled in but did not participate in a course. Students who do not offi cially drop a course will receive a letter grade that refl ects their achievement.

Repeated Course: When a course is successfully repeated, the original failure remains on the transcript but is not included in calculating the cumulative GPA. Students may not repeat courses for which credit already has been earned (grade of D or better), either at Berkeley College or in transfer from another college.

Change of Major: All courses remain on the transcript and continue to be included in the cumulative GPA when students change their major.

ACADEMIC RECORDS

Quarter Grade Reports: Quarter grade reports may be accessed online through Student Self-Service in Blackboard.

President’s List: Matriculated students who achieve a grade point average of 4.00 with a minimum of 12 academic credits qualify for the President’s List.

Dean’s List: Matriculated students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better with a minimum of 12 academic credits qualify for the Dean’s List.

Transcript Requests: Unoffi cial transcripts may be accessed online through Student Self-Service in Blackboard.

Offi cial transcripts are issued upon written request and upon payment of a $5 fee for each transcript.

Offi cial transcripts are sent directly to other colleges and institutions by the College’s Central Registrar. Offi cial transcripts are mailed within fi ve business days. Overnight and same-day processing are available for an additional fee. Transcripts are not released for students in fi nancial arrears with the College.

SATISFACTORY

ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Berkeley’s policy on satisfactory academic progress applies to all matriculating students and all federal, state, and institutional fi nancial aid programs. Additional information may be obtained from the Financial Aid or Advisement Departments.

Minimum Standards: All Berkeley students enrolled in degree or credit-bearing certifi cate programs must meet minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress. Both qualitative and quantitative measures are utilized to determine satisfactory progress. Students who do not meet minimum standards may be ineligible for future fi nancial aid disbursements and are subject to dismissal.

Qualitative Standards: In order to satisfy the minimum qualitative standards and remain in good academic standing, students enrolled in associate degree (A.A.S. and A.S.) and certifi cate programs must maintain the grade point averages specifi ed below:

Quantitative Standards: In order to maintain the quantitative standards for satisfactory academic progress, students must successfully complete their programs in no more than one and one-half the normal time frame in credit hours attempted. This requirement is illustrated, see chart below.

Note that the standards are for full-time students. Students enrolled less than full-time will have the policy applied on a pro-rata basis in accordance with enrollment status.

Academic Probation and Appeal Procedure:

Any student who fails to meet the minimum qualitative or quantitative measures will be placed on academic and fi nancial aid Probation for the subsequent term. The Probation period consists of one quarter in which students must meet the minimum standards. If the minimum qualitative and quantitative measures are met at the end of the Probationary quarter, the Probation will be removed; if not, the student will be placed on Final Probation for the subsequent quarter. If the minimum qualitative and quantitative measures are met at the end of the Final Probationary quarter, the Final Probation will be removed; if not, the student will be dismissed from the College. While on Probation or Final Probation, students are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress and may continue to receive eligible disbursements of fi nancial aid.

Any student who is denied fi nancial aid or who is subject to dismissal from the College for not meeting the standards of satisfactory academic progress may appeal that decision in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The appeal must be fi led prior to the start of the subsequent term.

Final determination will be made by a committee comprised of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Director of Financial Aid, and the Dean of Advisement. Students will be notifi ed in writing of the decision of the committee. If an appeal is approved, the student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress and will remain eligible to continue in the program of study and receive fi nancial aid. Final Probationary status, however, continues for that quarter. If the student then fails to meet the standards of satisfactory academic progress, the student is dismissed from the College.

If an appeal is denied, the student may apply for reinstatement after three quarters of non-attendance by submitting the request in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students granted reinstatement must have paid the College all previously incurred tuition and fee charges. Reinstated students will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress but are enrolled on a Final Probationary status.
