History In 1881, young Matthew H. Davis left his chairmanship in the mathematics department and his position as director of the business department at Albert College, Belleville, Ontario, to accept the management of Toledo Business College. The small school of 35 students, which had been established in 1858, rapidly grew to 350 students. During the 23 years Davis directed the school, four other schools were absorbed, and the name was changed to Davis Business College. The curriculum was gradually changed from Latin, German, Greek, calculus, and epistolary writing to banking, mercantile trades, shorthand, and typing. After Davis’ death in 1904, his son, Thurber P. Davis, left the University of Michigan to take over the management of Davis Business College. For the next 44 years, he managed the school. When Thurber P. became ill, his daughter, Ruth L. Davis, became the third generation of the Davis family to head the school. Soon after she assumed active management in May 1948, the school was incorporated. Since then, changes have been rapid in business colleges. Educational requirements have increased for teachers, libraries have been added, career goals have been expanded, and equipment requirements have changed. In 1953 Davis Business College was among the first to be accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Business Schools. In 1964 it met commission requirements for a junior college of business. In January 1983, Miss Davis was named President Emeritus, and Mr. John Lambert became President of Davis College. Mr. Lambert expanded the Davis curriculum to include Allied Health, Computer, and Graphic Design programs, which currently make up half the College’s enrollment. In 1986 Davis met the requirements for accreditation by the American Association of Medical Assistants. In 1991 Davis College was granted accreditation by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. In January 1993, Ms. Diane Brunner became the fifth President of Davis College as Mr. Lambert was named President Emeritus. Ms. Brunner joined Davis

College in 1984 and enthusiastically believes in the college’s mission. As true of all past Davis leadership, Ms. Brunner is dedicated to the promotion of higher educational standards and continuing the College’s service to the community.

Financial Aid Financing your education is the most important investment you make in the preparation of your career. The five forms of financing your education are: 1. Student Self-Help(Personal resources) 2. Parental Assistance (Partial or entire costs provided by parents) 3. Financial Aid Programs (Grants and/or loans) 4. Davis College Plan (Interest-free payment plans) 5. Employee Reimbursement (Check with the Human Resource Department of your employer) Davis College recognizes that many students are in need of financial assistance in order to attend college.

The grant varies in amount but not to exceed 50% of the total amount of the student aid made available through the College.

Federal Perkins Loan Based on need and a minimum of attending 6 credit hours per quarter, this federal program provides loans with no repayment while the student is in college.

Federal Family Education Loan Programs (FFELP) All Federal Financial Aid is subject to change by Congressional decisions. Student aid is conditional providing the recipient is eligible and maintains satisfactory academic progress including grade point average, completion of courses attempted, and attendance in courses. A student is required to attend a minimum of six credit hours each quarter to be eligible for any of the financial aid programs. Veterans Administration Benefits Veterans, widows, wives of disabled veterans, and war orphans may be eligible for education benefits. The necessary Veterans Administration (VA) forms can be obtained and completed at the College. The VA student enrolling should submit the following: 1.

Academic Policies

Academic Policies and Information Full cooperation of these policies is appreciated so that all goals can be met in accordance with the business objectives. The following is an alphabetic listing of the academic policies and information important at Davis College. Academic Advising and Scheduling Students meet with an academic advisor for scheduling before orientation, and programs are monitored through graduation. Academic Advisors give recommendations based on advisees’ needs, program requirements, sequence of courses, prerequisites, and frequency of course offerings. Registration for each quarter is done with an Academic Advisor. Advisees should also see an Academic Advisor to make any schedule change. It is important that students communicate with Academic Advisors to be sure that requirements for graduation are being met. Academic Advisors will guide students’ decisions; however, students have the ultimate responsibility for completing program requirements and knowing what is required of them academically. Academic Advisors are located in the Academic Services Office. Academic Departments The College academic programs are supervised by the Vice President of Academic Affairs and organized into six Academic Departments: Allied Health, Business Administration, Computer Applications and Office Administration, Design, General Education, and Information Technology. Each Academic Department has a Chairperson. Academic Honors Special recognition will be awarded to those students who have accomplished excellent academic achievement. Honor’s List - Students who are enrolled in 6-11 credit hours during a given quarter and who have

achieved a grade point average of at least 3.5 for the quarter are on the Honor’s List. Dean’s List - Students who are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours during a given quarter and who have achieved a grade point average of at least 3.5 for the quarter are on the Dean’s List. President’s List - Students who have completed at least 24 credit hours and who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above are on the President’s List. Graduate Honors-Students with an accumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher at the end of their program will wear a gold honor cord at the graduation ceremony to signify this outstanding academic achievement. Adding and Dropping Courses The last day that courses may be added to the student’s schedule is Monday of Week 2 of the quarter. Students should consult with an Academic Advisor when adding or dropping a course. Students may drop a class up to Monday of Week 9 of the quarter. Charges for classes are incurred. (See Withdrawal Policy) Advance Credit Advance credit is awarded if a student passes a proficiency test, demonstrating competency in the content area. Proficiency tests are available for MTH102 College Math I, COM121 Composition I, MED101 Medical Terminology, WPR110 Keyboarding, WPR 120 Word Processing, and OAM107 Proofreading and Editing. Proficiency tests should be taken during the student’s first quarter. Proficiency testing should be discussed with an Academic Advisor, and tests should be taken during the student’s first quarter. Fees are paid in the Business Office, and the tests are scheduled in the Academic Services Office. Advance credit courses are not considered transfer credits. Advanced credits will be counted as earned hours only and will not be counted in the student’s grade point average.

Assessment Davis College considers assessment of student learning an important part of the academic process, allowing continual measurement, evaluation and improvement of faculty and student success. Davis College uses many methods to monitor and assess the process and results of teaching and learning. Some methods used include course examinations, faculty evaluations, internship/externship evaluations, portfolios, mid-program review, attitude surveys, journals, writing samples, and demonstration of skills. Attendance It is the philosophy of Davis College that student attendance be the same as that desired by future employers. Instructors list their policies on attendance, tardiness, and make-up work on the course syllabus. To encourage success at Davis College, Academic Advisors follow up with students who are regularly missing classes. Attendance at Other Institutions Once admitted to the College, students are required to complete hours earned toward their degree at the College unless prior written authorization is granted to take courses and/or training at other institutions. Students desiring to take academic courses at other institutions while enrolled at Davis are required to process a petition to take courses at another institution with the Registrar. In considering this petition, the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GPA, the availability of the course or courses in the Davis curriculum, and the availability of a course substitute will be taken into account. Students may be authorized to enroll in a course or courses at another institution only when it is essential that a course or courses be taken at a specific time and a schedule conflict precludes completion of the work within the College; however, the student is required to take the last 12 hours of his/her program at Davis College. Students who attend other schools without proper authorization will not receive transfer credit for the courses taken and are subject to dismissal from the College.

This policy does not apply to Massage Therapy Students taking required courses at Northwest Academy of Massotherapy, Inc. Change of Program of Study After a student has enrolled, requests for a change of program of study can be made in the Academic Services Office. Credit Hours Academic credit is issued in quarter hours. One credit hour equals 1 classroom hour of lecture, 2 hours of lab experience, or 3 hours of field experience (externship, internship, practicum, etc.) each week of the quarter. Thus, during the quarter, one credit hour would equate to a minimum of 10 classroom hours of lecture, 20 hours of lab experience, or 30 hours of field experience. Grade Reports Grade reports are produced quarterly and will be distributed within ten days after the end of each quarter. Grade reports may be held for academic or administrative reasons.

Graduation Requirements To become a graduate of Davis College, a student is required to meet the following: Exit Forum Students who are completing their program will attend a required graduate meeting at the end of their final quarter. (Students will be notified by mail.) Graduates will be able to take care of necessary requirements for Career Services, Registrar, Financial Aid, Resource Center, and the Business Office in one stop.

Students who will be graduating are required to file an Application for Graduation by the fifth (5th) week of their final quarter. However, Spring and Summer Quarter graduates need to file by February 15. The Application for Graduation may be obtained from the Academic Services Office.

Transfer

Incomplete A student may receive an “I” (incomplete), with instructor’s approval, if he/she is unable to complete course requirements due to extenuating circumstances over which the student has no control (severe illness, family death, etc.). The student is required to have his/her instructor’s permission. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor and make up all work by the end of the subsequent quarter. All “I” grades are computed as

“F’s” until the course requirements are completed and the new grade is received. If a grade change is not received by the end of the subsequent quarter, “I” grades are changed to “F”.

To earn a second award, a student needs to complete a minimum of 20 additional credit hours, and the second major needs to be significantly different from the first.

Physical Exam

A student may earn a minor by taking a minimum of 16 hours in a specific content area above and beyond those courses taken to fulfill the major requirements.

Medical Assisting and Massage Therapy Students Medical Assisting and Massage Therapy students are required to have a complete physical examination with the results on file in the Allied Health Department. For Medical Assisting students, the examination needs to be completed by the beginning of Basic Laboratory Procedures (MED212). This examination is required to include tuberculosis screening (either skin test or chest x-ray).This assures that the students are physically capable of performing procedures in accordance with program standards. Many medical facilities providing externship experiences are requesting that students have completed or are currently taking the hepatitis B immunization series by the beginning of the Clinical Practicum (MED 250).Therefore, it is recommended that students consider initiating this series when they begin the Medical Assisting program. Massage Therapy students are required to have a physical examination before the massage therapy clinic courses.

Program Requirements Programs of study are offered in two major areas: Applied Business and Applied Science. The graduate of any program of at least 90 credit hours receives an Associate Degree. If the program is less than 90 credit hours, but 40 or more credit hours, the graduate receives a diploma. Program requirements meet the minimum criteria established by The Department of Education, the State Board of Proprietary School Registration, Michigan Department of Education, and our accrediting agencies. A student may earn only one associate degree within a department.

A student may complete a liberal studies minor by completing any combination of at least 16 hours of Communication, Humanities, Social Science, or Math courses above and beyond courses taken for the student’s major program. A student who plans to articulate these credits to a four-year institution is advised to contact that institution to determine how the credits would transfer.

Registration for Courses Students currently in attendance meet individually with Academic Advisors to discuss, plan, and register schedules. To register a schedule, students will complete the following steps: 1.

Obtain a copy of the quarter schedule.

Take the schedule to the Business Office for financial approval.

Set appointment with Academic Advisor.

Meet with Academic Advisor to plan and register the schedule.

The Registration Period Scheduling for Winter and Spring Quarters is held during the 5th and 6th weeks of Fall Quarter; scheduling for Summer and Fall quarters is held during weeks 5 and 6 of Spring Quarter.

Reinstatement Students dismissed due to failure to maintain minimum academic standards and/or make satisfactory progress (See Satisfactory Progress

Academic Policies

Policy) may be reinstated according to the following criteria: 1. 2.

Student has not been enrolled for one academic quarter. Transcript evaluation by the Vice President of Academic Affairs indicates that student has the academic ability to progress satisfactorily in the program. Consultation with the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Department Chairperson indicates that student has the desire to progress satisfactorily in the program. Student returns on probationary status and is monitored until academic standards and/or satisfactory progress is determined and that minimum successful completion standards are being met.

Repeated Courses A student may repeat a course in which a “C” or “D” or “F” is received. If a student is repeating a class in which an “F” was received in a prior quarter, the grade shown on the prior quarter will be changed to “RF” and the credit hours from that course will not be used in calculating the cumulative point average. If a student is repeating a class in which a “C” or “D” was received in a prior quarter, the grade shown on the prior quarter will be changed to “RP” and the credit hours from that course will not be used in calculating the cumulative point average; however, the student needs to take the grade earned on the repeated course, which is calculated in the GPA, even if it is lower than the previous grade. Satisfactory Academic Progress (Warning, Probation, Dismissal, Reinstatement) Having satisfactory progress toward your graduation requirements is essential to your success. One of Davis College’s graduation requirements is to have an accumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00. Federal regulations also define satisfactory progress for a full-time student as being on pace to complete the program in the normal time frame (or completing

100

75% of the courses attempted). Both GPA and completing courses attempted are factors in satisfactory progress. After a student attempts 12 credit hours, he/she will be placed on academic warning if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00 or less than 9 credits were completed. After a student attempts 24 credit hours, he/she will be placed on probation if the accumulative grade point average is below 2.00 or less than 18 credits were completed. When a student is on probation, he/she is required to maintain a grade point average of 2.00 in the courses pursued during any subsequent quarter and/ or maintain a 75% completion rate of credit hours. Failure to do so will result in academic dismissal and loss of financial aid (if applicable).

Transcripts (Davis College) Transcript requests (official or unofficial) are required to be submitted in writing to the Registrar’s Office. Written requests should include the student’s name, name attended under (if different), Social Security number, Davis College student number (if known), approximate dates of attendance, course of study, and signature. This procedure is in accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Any official transcript (with the school seal) issued to the student, either by mail or in person, will be inscribed “Issued to Student.” There is an approximate 10-day processing time for students who attended after 1983; students who attended before 1983 require further processing and may take more time. The cost of each official transcript is $4.00; however, students receive one free transcript upon graduation. The transcript will be withheld if the requester has not met financial obligations to the College. Unofficial transcripts for students who attended Davis College after 1983 may be obtained immediately upon request during regular business hours.The cost of each unofficial transcript is $2.00. These transcripts will be labeled “Unofficial Copy.”

Transfer to Davis College Students seeking credit for work completed at other colleges will need to request that official transcripts from each college attended be mailed directly from that college to Davis College. The student is responsible for requesting this official transcript; it is highly recommended that the transcript be received before the first quarter of attendance begins. Transcripts from other institutions become part of the student’s permanent academic file and cannot be copied for distribution. The Registrar will evaluate each transcript and determine the total number of credit hours which may be transferred.The Registrar may elect to accept general education courses which are not offered by Davis. The maximum number of credit hours transferred cannot exceed 50% of the total credit hours required in the program or 50% of the hours required in the major. At least one half of the credit hours required for an associate degree or diploma are required to be earned at Davis. In addition, the final 12 credit hours are required to be earned at Davis College. Additional information concerning this policy is available from the Registrar. Transferred credits will be counted as earned hours only and will not be calculated in the student’s grade point average. Transfer Policy for Regionally Accredited Schools Credits earned at regionally accredited institutions are honored provided they are included in the Davis program for which the student has enrolled and a minimum grade of “C” has been received.

Transfer Policy for NonRegionally Accredited Schools Transfers from technical colleges, business colleges, and other schools lacking regional accreditation but having accreditation by another agency recognized by the Department of Education are evaluated as follows: 1. The student is required to complete 12 credit hours at Davis College with a GPA of 2.00 before

the transcript will be evaluated for transfer of credits. 2. Credits may be accepted only upon the recommendation of the specific department in which the course work is offered. 3. Before credit is awarded, previous course work may be subject to validation by examination if recommended by the department.

Transferability of Credit The acceptability of credits by other institutions is solely the decision of the accepting institution. However, the College does maintain articulation agreements with several local colleges in the Toledo area. Most importantly, as an institution accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, other regionally accredited schools will evaluate Davis College credits. Davis College makes no representations as to the acceptability of Davis College credits at other institutions.

Withdrawal Policy To encourage success at Davis College, Academic Advisors follow up with any student who are regularly missing classes. If a student does not notify his/her Advisor of an official withdrawal, the student will receive grades for course work attempted. Charges for classes will be appropriately applied, and any financial aid will be returned according to federal and state regulations. An official withdrawal from a course(s) can be completed in the Academic Services Office. The student should personally sign a withdrawal form. The official withdrawal date is defined as the last date of physical attendance. Withdrawal from course(s) needs to be made by Monday of the 9th week of the quarter in which the student is enrolled. The official withdrawal procedure (from the College) also requires a financial aid exit interview. A student will receive a “W” (withdrawn) if he/she withdraws from a course during the first four weeks. Starting with the fifth week, a student will receive a “WP”

101

Academic Policies

(withdrawn passing) or “WF” (withdrawn failing) for the course, depending on his/her academic standing in the course at that point. After Monday of Week 9, the student will receive grades for course work attempted. Students who withdraw from their program may be responsible to repay 50% of their grant monies (in addition to their loan monies borrowed). Furthermore, until proper arrangements have been made with the Department of Education, students may not be eligible to participate in any further federal aid programs to attend college. It is very important that students review the impact of their withdrawal with the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing.

Dress Code Our mission requires that we concern ourselves with proper conduct, attire, and professionalism of our students. Students are asked to dress appropriately and to use discretion. The College has not found it necessary to establish a rigid dress code. Students may be asked to leave until properly attired or be subject to disciplinary action.

Essentially, it allows students to view the contents of most of their records currently on file at the College. The College is unable to release information concerning a student to a third party without that student’s written authorization. Illness or Accident If a student is injured or becomes ill while at Davis College, the receptionist is to be notified and instructed to call 9-1-1. An incident report will be filed by an observing member of the faculty or staff. Emergencies requiring CPR or Heimlich procedures will be addressed whenever possible by faculty, staff, or students who have been properly trained by the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross. School Closing and Class Information In case of severe snowstorms or other hazardous conditions, the school closing will be announced over local radio and television stations by 7:00 a.m. for day classes and 3:30 p.m. for evening classes.
