3 Introduc� on
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is part of the exci� ng history of Chicago. Founded in 1916 as <strong>The</strong> Commercial <strong>Art</strong>s School, <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> was one of the fi rst applied art and design colleges in the United States. <strong>The</strong> college school was widely<br />
known in the 1930s as Ray-Vogue School, with professional programs in art, design and fashion. <strong>The</strong> school was renamed<br />
Ray College of Design in 1981, and joined <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tutes system of schools in 1995. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> off ers<br />
Bachelor of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s, Bachelor of <strong>Art</strong>s, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Applied Science, and Associate of Applied Science<br />
degrees, as well as diploma programs.<br />
Faculty and staff of <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> are dedicated to providing students the tools and knowledge they need to<br />
pursue their goals. When students arrive at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>, they bring their crea� ve drive; their “mind to imagine.”<br />
Dedicated faculty with industry experience off er students “the skills to create.” Whichever crea� ve program students<br />
choose, <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> strives to provide the knowledge necessary to enter that fi eld. Upon gradua� on, our<br />
dedicated Career Services staff work with each eligible student to assist in the employment search. Students’ personal drive<br />
and ambi� on complete the mix for academic and professional growth.<br />
Loca� ons and Facili� es<br />
Chicago Campus<br />
Located in the heart of downtown Chicago, the Chicago campus of <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> has two facili� es located in<br />
central areas just eight blocks apart. One facility is at the Mart Center, connected by skywalk to the world-famous Merchandise<br />
Mart. Students a� end classes in the heart of Chicago’s design industry center. <strong>The</strong> Merchandise Mart is the world’s<br />
largest commercial building and wholesale design center, which houses hundreds of elite design showrooms. <strong>The</strong> campus<br />
loca� on provides students with many opportuni� es in the design industry through its proximity to design businesses at the<br />
Mart Center and the na� onal trade shows and regional markets held throughout the year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second facility is the Loop campus loca� on at 180 North Wabash, located in the heart of Chicago’s Loop. <strong>The</strong> loca� on<br />
provides easy access to the theater district, “State Street, that great street:” shopping on the Magnifi cent Mile of Michigan<br />
Avenue, and Millennium Park. <strong>The</strong> BackStage Bistro, housed within the Loop loca� on, is the Chicago campus’s studentoperated<br />
restaurant. <strong>The</strong> restaurant features glass walls through which patrons can see into the kitchens where culinary arts<br />
students prepare and serve food in the restaurant.<br />
Schaumburg Campus<br />
<strong>The</strong> Schaumburg campus is located in the Village of Schaumburg, 30 miles northwest of Chicago. Whether it’s for a quick<br />
half-day jaunt to the lakefront or for a weekend away, Schaumburg residents have easy access to all of the a� rac� ons of<br />
downtown Chicago. Schaumburg has grown from a sleepy farm community to become one of the foremost Edge Ci� es in<br />
the United States. It boasts a thriving professional community and there are more businesses in the Schaumburg area than<br />
in downtown Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Dallas or Portland. <strong>The</strong>se businesses combine to contribute more than 190,000<br />
jobs to the Schaumburg region.<br />
Cincinna� Campus<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cincinna� Campus, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute of Ohio–Cincinna� , was founded in 2004 and is located in the thriving northeast<br />
Cincinna� suburbs, just 20 minutes from downtown Cincinna� . Known as the Queen City, Cincinna� features great natural<br />
beauty with steep hills, wooded suburbs, a picturesque downtown riverfront, and four defi nite seasons. Awarded by<br />
Fortune magazine as one of the top ten places to live and work, the greater Cincinna� area is a three-state, 15-county region<br />
that off ers world-class assets in arts and culture, amusements, hospitality, sports and recrea� on. Cincinna� features all the<br />
ameni� es of a large, bustling metropolis while maintaining a friendly, small town atmosphere - a unique balancing act of<br />

<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
extraordinary contrasts - but one that makes the region a remarkably fl exible loca� on fi lled with a wealth of opportuni� es<br />
and op� ons.<br />
Michigan campus<br />
<strong>The</strong> Michigan campus, in the city of Novi, Michigan, was founded in 2007 and is located twenty fi ve minutes NW of downtown<br />
Detroit at the convergence of three major highways: I-696, I-275, and I-96. It is nestled among trees and ponds in a<br />
picturesque suburban se� ng with easy access to the greater metropolitan Detroit area. Metro Detroit has blue collar roots<br />
in manufacturing with a paralleling cosmopolitan rebirth occurring. Students can easily explore local history and experience<br />
a vast array of cultures and crea� vity in the galleries, theaters and music venues of Downtown Detroit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> school’s outdoor sculpture garden is unique to Ai Michigan and is designed to promote an apprecia� on of form and design<br />
across broad range of media for our students. A view of the many local ar� st sculptures can be seen from the campus’s<br />
student run restaurant called <strong>The</strong> Great Lakes Bistro. Similar to fashion, graphic and interior design projects hanging in the<br />
campus galleries, <strong>The</strong> Great Lakes Bistro is the place to see aspiring chefs prepare meals and to sample a taste our culinary<br />
students hard work in our instruc� onal kitchens.<br />
<strong>The</strong> faculty, staff and student body at Michigan is as diverse as the local popula� on. <strong>The</strong> campus is proud of the local cultural<br />
diversity boas� ng that more than 35 businesses based in Japan and at least 14 businesses based in Germany call Novi<br />
“home” in the United States. Mul� cultural access, a crea� ve community, and a commitment to diversity are all characteris-<br />
� cs of our growing crea� ve campus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute of Michigan is a des� na� on school for those seeking an applied educa� onal approach to an educa� on in<br />
Fashion, Design, Media or the Culinary <strong>Art</strong>s in SE Michigan.<br />
Tinley Park Campus<br />
<strong>The</strong> Tinley Park campus is located in the Village of Tinley Park, just a short drive or train ride south from Chicago, which is<br />
one of the most rapidly growing communi� es in this Midwest metropolitan area. A walk along Oak Park Avenue, the village’s<br />
main thoroughfare, takes residents by restaurants, shops, and businesses that make up the renovated historic district. One<br />
of the village’s most popular events is the Benches on the Avenue public art project in which handcra� ed wooden sea� ng<br />
created by local ar� sts is placed along Oak Park Avenue for the summer. Students can hop on the train to get to downtown<br />
Chicago or access interstate highways as well as three interna� onal airports – Midway, O’Hare, and Gary/Chicago. Recognized<br />
by BusinessWeek magazine in 2009 as the best place to raise a family in America, Tinley Park is a mix of the tradi� onal<br />
and contemporary for students seeking an educa� on in the crea� ve and applied arts.<br />

Digital Bookshelf and eBooks<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is in the process of enhancing the learning experience by conver� ng tradi� onal textbooks to<br />
electronic media. Thus, eventually most courses will have a digital resource fee associated with them. This mandatory fee<br />
is a fl at rate per course and allows students access to an Electronic Library and HTML versions of textbook(s), and in some<br />
cases, other electronic media, which is integrated into the course. Students are responsible for reading the Digital Bookshelf<br />
and eBook User’s Manual which describes the media, access to the materials and your rights and responsibili� es related to<br />
Digital Bookshelf.<br />
Students retaking a course are charged only once for the digital resources fee associated with the same course because<br />
students have access to the digital resources materials for fi ve years. Provided the digital resources for the retaken course<br />
s� ll uses the same digital books, students do not purchase addi� onal textbook(s) for these courses. On average the price of<br />
the digital resource fee is less than the retail price of the textbook(s) for each course, with the added benefi ts of no shipping<br />
charges and immediate access to the materials. When you register for a course, the course registra� on will display whether<br />
there is a digital resource fee or whether paper textbooks are required for each par� cular course.<br />
Book Process<br />
Students in need of purchasing books for their classes will need to sign an authoriza� on form either approving or not approving<br />
the use of excess Title IV funds, if applicable, to cover the cost of books and supplies. If the purchase of books and<br />
supplies should exceed the amount of the student’s credit balance a� er all aid pays in, the remaining amount due will be<br />
posted to the student’s account and the student will be responsible for making alterna� ve payment arrangements.<br />
Students who do not authorize and who have excess Title IV funding due to receiving funds from a Pell Grant will receive<br />
the lesser amount of either the amount of their Pell Grant excess or their full credit balance amount, for the term in ques-<br />
� on, within seven days of the start of the term. Students who do not authorize and who are receiving excess Title IV funds<br />
but do not have a Pell Grant will receive a s� pend within the later of the term begin date or 14 days of the date of their<br />
credit balance on their ledger card.<br />

Return of Federal Title IV Aid<br />
A percentage of Federal Title IV Aid is returned if withdrawal is during the fi rst 60% of the quarter. <strong>The</strong> amount returned<br />
is based on the percentage of days remaining in the quarter. <strong>The</strong> school determines the calendar days completed in the<br />
quarter divided by the total number of calendar days in the quarter. If the amount is less than or equal to 60%, that percent<br />
of the Federal Title IV Aid received is the amount that can be retained. <strong>The</strong> diff erence is returned to the Federal Title IV Aid<br />
program from which funds were received in this order: Unsubsidized Staff ord Loan, Subsidized Staff ord Loan, Perkins Loan,<br />
PLUS Loan, Pell Grant and SEOG.<br />
If Federal Title IV Aid funds have been given to the student and if the student withdraws during the fi rst 60% of the quarter,<br />

Weeks 5 and 6 – 70%<br />
A� er Week 6 – 100%<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> fi rst calculates how much needs to be returned under the federal return of Title IV Aid Policy. <strong>The</strong><br />
amount will then be subtracted from the amount that was paid for the quarter of withdrawal to get the adjustment amount<br />
paid. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> calculates how much of the charges can be retained based on the school policy. <strong>The</strong> amount<br />
that can be retained will be subtracted from the adjusted amount paid. If there is addi� onal money to be refunded from<br />
Federal Title IV funds, the refund will be made to the student, or with the student’s wri� en authoriza� on, to Federal Loans<br />
from which funds were received, in this order: Unsubsidized Staff ord Loan, Subsidized Staff ord Loan, Perkins Loan, PLUS<br />

Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, other loans, other aid (if required), and student.<br />

Financial Planning<br />
Financial Services is the business hub of the ins� tu� on. It provides a variety of student and management services. Within<br />
this department are the following services and offi ces:<br />
Student Financial Services<br />
<strong>The</strong> Student Financial Services Department assists students and their families in developing a fi nancial plan to budget for<br />
educa� onal expenses. Student fi nancial aid offi cers help students and parents complete the federal and state applica-<br />
� ons for grants and loans applicable to the student’s circumstances. Once the student’s eligibility for fi nancial aid has been<br />
determined, a fi nancial aid offi cer helps the student develop a plan for mee� ng educa� onal expenses. Extended payment<br />
plans may be available to ease the burden of college costs. Individual payment op� ons allow students and their families to<br />
spread some costs over a longer period in monthly or quarterly installments. Financial Aid planning services are available to<br />
students and their families for consulta� on throughout the year.<br />
Sa� sfactory Academic Progress<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is approved as an eligible Title IV funding ins� tu� on. All students who receive federal or statesponsored<br />
fi nancial assistance must maintain sa� sfactory academic progress for fi nancial assistance eligibility. Students<br />
receiving any form of fi nancial aid are required to meet standards for academic progress and a� endance. Proof of such<br />
progress on a periodic basis is verifi ed prior to any disbursements of fi nancial aid. Failure to make sa� sfactory academic<br />
progress or sa� sfactory a� endance requirements may result in the termina� on or reduc� on of fi nancial aid.<br />
Suspension and Reinstatement of Financial Assistance, All Programs<br />
Students who are suspended from a program of study or terminated from <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> are ineligible for fi nancial<br />
assistance un� l they regain admission and comply with sa� sfactory academic progress requirements.<br />
Financial Assistance Appeal<br />
Students who are denied or suspended from fi nancial assistance may fi le an appeal under appropriate federal and state<br />
guidelines with <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> Student Financial Assistance Review Commi� ee.<br />
Federal Student Financial Aid<br />
<strong>The</strong> purpose of federal student fi nancial aid programs is to provide eligible students with an opportunity to obtain a college<br />
educa� on. Central to the purpose of fi nancial aid is the belief that students and their families, to the extent possible, have<br />
the primary responsibility to pay for the student’s college educa� on. Financial aid is made available to assist eligible students<br />
when family resources are not suffi cient to meet college costs. All students seeking fi nancial assistance are required<br />
to complete the Free Applica� on for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). <strong>The</strong> FAFSA is the fi rst step in the fi nancial aid process. <strong>The</strong><br />
answers provided on the form are entered into a formula approved by the U.S. Department of Educa� on and the results,<br />
called the Expected Family Contribu� on (EFC) are used to measure the family’s fi nancial strength. Students are encouraged<br />
to seek fi nancial aid. Students and families should not rely solely on these funds to support themselves throughout the<br />
academic year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Student Financial Services department is responsible for accurate documenta� on and valida� on of fi nancial informa-<br />
� on. In addi� on to explaining fi nancial aid programs and fi nancial aid fi nancing plans, the department also determines student<br />
eligibility before fi nancial aid is distributed by the Accoun� ng Department. It is the student’s responsibility to comply<br />
with all requests for informa� on in a � mely fashion to con� nue receiving fi nancial aid. Federal fi nancial aid is awarded on a<br />
fi scal year basis beginning July 1 and ending June 30. Students must complete a new FAFSA each year.<br />

and uses that analysis to enhance both teaching and<br />
learning. Under the guidance and direc� on of the Vice<br />
President or Dean of Academic Aff airs and the Director of<br />
Assessment, assessment involves the en� re school community—students,<br />
faculty, staff , and administra� on—in a<br />
coordinated eff ort to use the assessment of learning as a<br />

Grade Reports<br />
<strong>The</strong> student is issued an online fi nal grade report at the<br />
end of each academic quarter of study for all courses<br />
completed during that par� cular quarter. Approximately<br />
mid-quarter, each student receives mid-term evalua� ons.<br />
This is a process that is designed to help each student understand<br />
strengths and weaknesses within each course. As<br />
a result, the student can focus on those areas of performance<br />
that need more development. Further, the student<br />
can request individual tutoring or support service from the<br />
instructors or departments as needed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is concerned with each student’s<br />
overall professional development. <strong>The</strong> mid-term evalua� on<br />
is based on academic, career objec� ve and competency<br />
development. Each student should take every opportunity<br />
to consult with their instructors and Academic Department<br />
Director to ensure maximum academic and professional<br />
development.

<strong>The</strong> Registrar’s offi ce coordinates transcript requests. A<br />

Undergraduate Sa� sfactory Academic Progress (SAP)<br />
Policy<br />
Eff ec� ve SU11<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sa� sfactory Academic Progress Policy ensures that all<br />
students are maintaining sa� sfactory academic progress<br />
towards successful comple� on of their academic programs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> evalua� on points and milestones contained in the<br />
policy are meant to iden� fy problems for which ac� ons<br />
of early interven� on and/or remedia� on can be taken.<br />
Most cri� cal to this policy is a student’s ability to enroll<br />
in and complete courses on a consistent and successful<br />
manner. This ability is measured in three ways: cumula� ve<br />
grade-point-average (CGPA); and incremental comple� on<br />
rate (ICR) within a maximum � me frame (MTF). Failure<br />
to complete courses successfully for any reason may<br />
nega� vely aff ect sa� sfactory academic progress. Failing<br />
courses or withdrawing from courses could result in the<br />
loss of Financial aid and Academic termina� on. In order<br />
for a student to graduate, the minimum requirements are<br />
a CGPA of 2.0, 66.67% ICR, and comple� on of the program<br />
in no more than 150% of total program credits.<br />
Periods of a� endance when a student does not receive<br />
Title IV aid are included in determining Sa� sfactory<br />
Academic Progress. Periods of Non-A� endance are not<br />
included in determining SAP. While the term Academic<br />
Warning/Financial Aid Warning and Academic Proba� on/<br />
Financial Aid Proba� on are used, the status applies to all<br />
students whether receiving aid or not.<br />
Criteria for Honors Designa� on<br />

Cer� fi cate and Diploma Programs:<br />
1. At the end of the fi rst quarter, students must<br />
achieve a minimum CGPA of 1.0 and an ICR of 33.33%.<br />
Anything below these milestones will result in Academic<br />
Warning/Financial Aid Warning for one quarter.<br />
2. At the end of the second quarter, students must attain<br />
a minimum CGPA of 1.5 and an ICR of 50%. Anything<br />
below these milestones will result in Academic Warning/<br />
Financial Aid Warning for one quarter unless the student<br />
was on Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning in the<br />
previous term. If the student was on Academic Warning/<br />
Financial Aid Warning in the previous term, the student<br />
will be dismissed.<br />
3. At the end of the third quarter, and every quarter<br />
therea� er, students must a� ain a minimum CGPA of 2.0<br />
and an ICR of 66.67%. Anything below these milestones<br />
will result in Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning for<br />
one quarter unless the student was on Academic Warning/<br />
Financial Aid Warning in the previous term. If the student<br />
was on Academic Warning / Financial Aid Warning in the<br />
previous term they would be dismissed.<br />
4. Students may not a� empt more than 150% of the<br />
credits in their programs; anything in excess of 150% of the<br />
credits will result in dismissal.<br />
5. Students should note that if they are on Academic<br />
Warning/Financial Aid Warning, it will be very diffi cult to<br />
meet the minimum requirements of the next evalua� on<br />

Degree Programs:<br />
At the end of the fi rst quarter, students must achieve a<br />
minimum CGPA of 1.0 and an ICR of 33.33% (transi� onal<br />
study courses do not impact GPA or ICR so they are exempt<br />
from the calcula� on). Anything below these milestones<br />
will result in Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning for<br />
one quarter. If a student has only a� empted transi� onal<br />
studies the student is considered to be making SAP unless<br />
the student a� empts and does not successfully complete<br />
the same transi� onal study course three � mes.<br />
At the end of the second quarter, students must achieve a<br />
minimum CGPA of 1.0 and an ICR of 33.33% for all courses<br />
that are not transi� onal studies. Anything below these<br />
milestones will result in Academic Warning/Financial Aid<br />
Warning for one quarter if the student had not been on<br />
Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning in the previous<br />
term. However, if the student was on Academic Warning/<br />
Financial Aid Warning in the previous term, the student<br />
will be dismissed. If a student has only a� empted transi-<br />
� onal studies the student is considered to be making SAP<br />
unless the student a� empts and does not successfully<br />
complete the same transi� onal study course three � mes.<br />
At the end of the third quarter, students must a� ain a<br />
minimum CGPA of 1.25 and an ICR of 50 %. Anything<br />
below these milestones will result in Academic Warning/<br />
Financial Aid Warning for one quarter unless the student<br />
was on Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning in the<br />
previous term. If the student was on Academic Warning<br />
/ Financial Aid Warning in the previous term they would<br />
be dismissed. If a student has only a� empted transi� onal<br />
studies the student is considered to be making SAP unless<br />
the student a� empts and does not successfully complete<br />
the same transi� onal study course three � mes.<br />
At the end of the fourth and at the end of the fi � h quarter,<br />
students must have a CGPA of at least 1.5, and an ICR<br />
above 50%, Anything below these milestones will result in<br />
Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning for one quarter<br />
unless the student was on Academic Warning/Financial<br />
Aid Warning in the previous term. If the student was on<br />
Academic Warning / Financial Aid Warning in the previous<br />
term they would be dismissed.<br />
Students should note that if they are on Academic Warning/Financial<br />
Aid Warning, it could be very diffi cult to meet
Academic Policies<br />
the minimum requirements of the next measuring point.<br />
Students should consult with their academic advisor concerning<br />
the exact requirements.<br />
At the end of the sixth quarter and therea� er, students<br />
must accomplish a minimum CGPA of 2.0 and an ICR of<br />
66.67%. Anything below these milestones will result in<br />
Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning for one quarter<br />
unless the student was on Academic Warning/Financial<br />
Aid Warning in the previous term. If the student was on<br />
Academic Warning / Financial Aid Warning in the previous<br />
term they would be dismissed.<br />
Students may not a� empt more than 150% of the credits<br />
in their programs; anything in excess of 150% of the credits<br />
will result in dismissal.<br />
Transi� onal Studies <strong>Course</strong>s are based on the results of<br />
the academic placement test. Like any course, students<br />
must successfully complete such courses in order to progress<br />
in the program. Transi� onal Studies <strong>Course</strong> credits do<br />
not count towards the total number of credits for gradua�<br />
on nor do they count in the CGPA or ICR; however,<br />
they do count in determining the maximum � me frame in<br />
terms of credits a� empted and credits earned. Transi� onal<br />
Studies/Remedial courses do have credit hours assigned to<br />
them for enrollment and tui� on charging purposes. Transi�<br />
onal Studies <strong>Course</strong>s may be individually a� empted no<br />
more than three � mes. Failing or withdrawing from a transi�<br />
onal studies course three � mes will result in dismissal.<br />
Students on Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning are<br />
considered to be making progress towards mee� ng SAP<br />
and if otherwise eligible, can be eligible for Financial aid.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grades, gpa and cumula� ve data for all courses a<br />
student a� empted at the ins� tu� on as well as courses successfully<br />
transferred in from prior postsecondary educa� on<br />
are available on the student portal for their review. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

Financial Aid Warning or Academic Proba� on/Financial Aid<br />
Proba� on or is terminated.<br />
117 Academic Policies<br />
Appeal Process for Academic Probation/<br />
Financial Aid Probation<br />
<strong>The</strong> process to appeal allows the student to request the<br />
opportunity to appeal a dismissal in wri� ng; the reason for<br />
the appeal must be the result of mi� ga� ng circumstances;<br />
and documenta� on suppor� ng a claim of mi� ga� ng<br />
circumstances must be provided and retained. <strong>The</strong> result<br />
of the appeal (appeal granted or appeal denied) must be<br />
provided to the student and catalogued in the Student Informa�<br />
on System as well as the student’s academic fi le. As<br />
part of the appeal the student must document in wri� ng<br />
why he or she did not meet SAP and what in the student’s<br />
situa� on has changed that will allow he or she to meet SAP<br />
according to a wri� en academic plan.<br />
If the student’s appeal (see appeal policy below) is<br />
granted, he or she will be placed on Academic Proba-<br />
� on/Financial Aid Proba� on for one or two quarters. For<br />
students in a cer� fi cate/diploma program they will only<br />
have one quarter of Academic/Financial Proba� on due to<br />
the shorter length of the program. For associates degree<br />
or higher programs, if the student and the ins� tu� on<br />
agrees to a two-term Academic/Financial Aid Proba� on<br />
the student must agree with and sign a wri� en academic<br />
plan developed and approved by the ins� tu� on which<br />
documents that he or she will be required to a� ain CGPA<br />
and ICR milestones by the next evalua� on point (term) but<br />
they must be mee� ng SAP at the end of the second term.<br />
A student not mee� ng the condi� ons of their plan at the<br />
end of the fi rst quarter will be dismissed. If the student is<br />
mee� ng their academic plan at the end of the fi rst term,<br />
they will stay on Academic/Financial Aid Proba� on. Student<br />
are eligible to receive Title IV aid while on Academic<br />
Proba� on/Financial Aid Proba� on if he or she is otherwise<br />
eligible. Failure to meet the minimum CGPA and ICR<br />
milestones following the Academic Proba� on/Financial Aid<br />
Proba� on period(s) will result in a permanent dismissal.<br />
If a student appeals and is denied the appeal, he or she<br />
must remain out of school un� l one year a� er the quarter<br />
in which the appeal was denied. <strong>The</strong> student may then<br />
request an addi� onal appeal for reinstatement, but would<br />
have to demonstrate academic accomplishments or changes<br />
that show a degree of college readiness that reliably
Academic Policies<br />
predict success. A� er being out of school, the applicant<br />
will have to meet the appeal requirements as stated in the<br />
fi rst paragraph including describing why the student failed<br />
to meet sa� sfactory academic progress before and what<br />
has changed to ensure that he or she will be able to meet<br />
sa� sfactory academic progress if re-admi� ed. Should the<br />
student have his or her appeal denied a second � me, the<br />
student will be permanently dismissed from the Ins� tute.<br />
Following is a comprehensive list of events that indicate<br />
there may be a Mi� ga� ng Circumstance which has nega-<br />

�� Death of an immediate family member<br />
�� Student illness requiring hospitaliza� on (this includes<br />
mental health issues)<br />
�� Illness of an immediate family member where the<br />
student is a primary caretaker<br />
�� Illness of an immediate family member where the<br />

�� Loss of transporta� on where there are no alterna� ve<br />
means of transporta� on<br />
�� Documenta� on from the School Counselor and/or a<br />
Professional Counselor<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dean of Academic Aff airs or Vice President of Academic<br />
Aff airs is responsible for determining the appropriateness<br />
of the mi� ga� ng circumstance in regards to severity,<br />

Student life issues and making the transi� on to<br />
college are not considered mi� ga� ng circumstances under<br />
this policy.<br />
Documenta� on from the SAP program or professional<br />
counselor should not breach the student/counselor rela-<br />
� onship and should remain confi den� al. A memorandum<br />
or le� er on school or organiza� onal le� erhead indica� ng<br />
a counselor’s opinion that student issues may be accom-<br />
118 Academic Policies<br />
modated to ensure that the student will be able to meet<br />
sa� sfactory academic progress will suffi ce as proof of mi� -<br />
ga� ng circumstances as well as a student’s ability to meet<br />
sa� sfactory academic progress with accommoda� ons from<br />
the ins� tu� on.<br />
Students are NOT allowed to appeal dismissals for violating<br />
the 150% comple� on rate.<br />
A student who a� empts but does not pass the same<br />
remedial course three � mes is dismissed and there is not<br />
a right to appeal the termina� on. Students dismissed for<br />
failing the transi� onal courses three � mes may reapply<br />
for reinstatement once these courses and the college level<br />

Students receive grades at the end of each quarter including<br />
midquarter. <strong>The</strong> grade report contains both the grade<br />
point average for the quarter (GPA) and cumula� ve grade<br />
point average (CGPA) for the program. When a course is repeated<br />
a� er failure, the grade earned upon repea� ng the<br />
class replaces the original grade in determining the grade<br />
point average, though the failing grade will s� ll appear on<br />
the transcript.<br />
Repea� ng <strong>Course</strong>s<br />
Grades earned in repeated courses will replace grades<br />
of ‘F’, ‘W’, or ‘WF’. <strong>Course</strong> credits with grades of ‘F’,’W’, or<br />
‘WF’ are included in the maximum � me frame (MTF) and<br />
incremental comple� on rate (ICR) requirements as credits<br />
a� empted but not earned. Students with incomplete<br />
grades will receive an ‘F’ if a grade change is not submi� ed<br />
119 Academic Policies<br />
by the end of the second week of the following term. <strong>The</strong><br />
grade ‘I’ indicates Incomplete and is calculated as if it is an<br />
‘F’ un� l it is changed to another grade and the course will<br />
be included as course credits a� empted, but not earned.<br />
Students may also retake classes in which they received<br />
a passing grade in order to improve their CGPA but can<br />
retake a course passed only one addi� onal � me. Credits<br />
from all repeated courses are included as credits a� empted.<br />
Changed Grade<br />
When a fi nal course grade has been established and<br />
recorded in the student record, the grade may not be<br />
changed without approval by both the Academic Department<br />
Director and either the Dean of Academic Aff airs or<br />
Vice President of Academic Aff airs. Only the fi nal grade<br />
(not the original grade/code) will be computed in the<br />
grade point average. <strong>The</strong> fi nal grade is the one that counts<br />
in the calcula� on.<br />
Calcula� ons<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute measures and records academic performance<br />
by compu� ng the Grade Point Average (GPA) and<br />
Cumula� ve Grade Point Average (CGPA) for each student,<br />
using the le� er grades, four-point scale and credit-hour<br />
values. GPA is the average of grade points a student earns<br />
during one quarter. CGPA is the cumula� ve average of all<br />
grade points a student has earned over all quarters at <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute.<br />
Here is an example of how GPA and CGPA are computed:<br />
Imagine that a student is taking a total of two courses during<br />
one quarter. One course has a four credit hours value<br />
and the student earns an A. <strong>The</strong> second course has a three<br />
credit hour value and the student earns a B. Remember,<br />
each le� er grade carries a grade point value. Grade point<br />
values are mul� plied by credit hours.<br />
In this example:<br />
A = 4 grade points x 4 credit hours = 16 grade points<br />
earned<br />
B = 3 grade points x 3 credit hours = 9 grade points earned<br />
To compute the GPA, divide the total number of grade<br />
points earned for the quarter by the total number of credit<br />
hours earned for the quarter.
Academic Policies<br />
In this example:<br />
16 grade points + 9 grade points = 25 total grade points<br />
25 grade points earned divided by 7 total hours earned =<br />
student’s GPA for the quarter, 3.57, which is rounded to<br />
3.6.<br />
A student’s CGPA is computed in the same way by dividing<br />
the student’s total grade points earned from all quarters/<br />
semester at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute by the student’s total credit<br />
hours earned from all quarters at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute. (<strong>The</strong><br />
CGPA is calculated by rounding up to the nearest tenth<br />
if the last digit is 5 or greater. It is rounded down to the<br />
nearest tenth of the last digit if the last digit is less than 5.<br />
Example: 1.95 = 2.0, 1.94 = 1.90)<br />
Incremental comple� on rate is determined as follows<br />
(remedial credits do not count in this calcula� on):<br />
(EARNED CREDITS at the ins� tu� on + TRANSFER CREDIT Accepted )<br />
(ATTEMPTED CREDITS at the ins� tu� on + Transfer Credits Accepted)<br />
<strong>The</strong> 150% MTF is determined as follows:<br />
TOTAL CREDITS NEEDED TO GRADUATE FROM THE PRO-<br />
GRAM x 1.5 = TOTAL NUMBER OF CREDITS ALLOWED TO<br />
ATTEMPT.<br />
STUDENT STATUS CHANGES AND SAP<br />
Transfer Students<br />
Transfer credits from other post-secondary ins� tu� ons are<br />
calculated in the maximum � me frame allowable credits<br />
and incremental comple� on rate requirements. <strong>The</strong>refore,<br />
the maximum number of a� empted credits for a<br />
student with transfer credit is s� ll one and one-half � mes<br />
the number of credits required to complete a program for<br />
gradua� on.<br />
Example: if a student transfers in 36 credits to a program<br />
consis� ng of 180 credits, the calcula� on would be 180 X<br />
1.5 = 270 credits. <strong>The</strong>refore, the 36 transfer credits would<br />
be considered a� empted and earned so only 234 more<br />
credits could be a� empted.<br />
Grades for credits transferred in from any post-secondary<br />
ins� tu� on (including an <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute) will be recorded as<br />
“TR” in the Student Informa� on System and will not aff ect<br />
120 Academic Policies<br />
the student’s CGPA.<br />
Students wishing to transfer from one <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute to<br />
another may do so only if they are in good standing at the<br />
sending school. If the student is transferring to a diff erent<br />
ins� tu� on (as defi ned by the Department of Educa� on),<br />
then he or she is treated as a student transferring in from<br />
an unaffi liated ins� tu� on. Any student dismissed for viola-<br />
� on sa� sfactory academic progress cannot transfer or be<br />
considered a New student (if they had a break in enrollment)<br />
at another <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute un� l he or she has been<br />
granted an appeal at the original school and is deemed to<br />
be making sa� sfactory academic progress.<br />
Changes in Program<br />
Students are allowed only one change of program and<br />
must be making sa� sfactory academic progress at the � me<br />
a request is made to change programs.<br />
<strong>Course</strong>s taken in one program that is applicable to the<br />
second program will be transferred with the applicable<br />
grade. If the student has taken a course more than once,<br />
only the grades transferred to that new program will apply<br />
to the second program. All grades earned in the original<br />
program that apply to the new program will count towards<br />
the CGPA. For ICR and 150% purposes only, those courses<br />
transferred will apply to the second program will be considered.<br />
In the formulas below, the “CHANGE OF MAJOR” adjustment<br />
factor would be those credits from the previous major<br />
that we will NOT count in the student’s current major.<br />
Incremental comple� on rate is determined as follows<br />
(remedial credits do not count in this calcula� on):<br />
(EARNED CREDITS in the New Program + TRANSFER CREDIT ACCEPTED)<br />
minus CHANGE OF MAJOR ADJUSTMENT FACTOR FOR EARNED CREDITS)<br />
(ATTEMPTED CREDITS in the New Program + Transfer Hours Accepted)<br />
minus CHANGE OF MAJOR ADJUSTMENT FACTOR FOR EARNED CREDITS<br />
<strong>The</strong> 150% MTF is determined as follows:<br />
TOTAL CREDITS NEEDED in the PROGRAM TO GRADUATE<br />
� mes 1.5 = MTF.
Academic Policies<br />
Second Degree<br />
When a student has graduated from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tute in<br />
one program, then subsequently begins work in a diff erent<br />
program, grades used in the CGPA of the previous program<br />
will not be applied to the student’s new program CGPA<br />
calcula� on. <strong>The</strong> grades will be recorded as TR.<br />
Schedules and Registra� on<br />
Quarterly Student Registra� on Procedures<br />
<strong>The</strong> con� nuing enrollment registra� on for in-school<br />
students takes place during the fi � h through 12 th week of<br />
each academic quarter. Appropriate no� ces regarding the<br />
registra� on period are posted in advance. Much course,<br />
instructor and classroom scheduling takes place in the<br />
short period between registra� on and the start of classes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore, it is very important that every student register<br />
on � me. Students who register late are subject to delays in<br />
the scheduling process and to course selec� on on a space<br />
available basis.<br />
Program and A� endance Status Change<br />
Once enrolled, a student is assumed to be in con� nuous<br />
enrollment and a� endance, and to be making sa� sfactory<br />
progress un� l gradua� on. <strong>The</strong> student who alters<br />
this academic progression in any manner is considered to<br />
be making a “status change” which requires approval or<br />
understanding in advance of the changes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> basic status changes include:<br />
�� a change from one program of study to another program<br />
of study (termed “internal transfer”)<br />
�� a change of a� endance schedules (from part-� me to<br />
full-� me class a� endance, evening to day a� endance<br />
or vice-versa)<br />

Student Iden� fi ca� on Cards<br />
<strong>The</strong> student is required to retain a Photo ID card that is<br />
used for various purposes for the dura� on of the program:<br />
for checking out library books and resource materials at<br />
the college Library<br />
for checking out training equipment (see “Property of <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> ”)<br />
for checking in and out of the computer labs<br />
for security iden� fi ca� on<br />
On some campuses, student ID cards must be updated<br />
with a s� cker each quarter in order to be valid.<br />
<strong>Course</strong> Cut-off date<br />
All students must be cleared to sit in class by the fi rst<br />
day of the second week of the quarter. If the student is<br />
not cleared for class prior to the course cut-off date, the<br />
student is not allowed to start the quarter. Students must<br />
a� end each class by the fi rst scheduled class mee� ng of<br />
the second week of the quarter in order to a� end that<br />
class for that quarter.<br />
Schedule Adjustment Period<br />
Any course that is added or dropped from the student’s<br />
schedule must be processed by the Registrar’s Offi ce prior<br />
to the end of the Schedule Adjustment period. Students<br />
dropping a course during the Schedule Adjustment period<br />
are not charged for the course. Students who have attended<br />
classes during the Schedule Adjustment period and<br />
withdraw completely from school are charged a percentage<br />
of their tui� on based on the last day of a� endance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Schedule Adjustment period is printed on the back of<br />
the students’ schedules. <strong>The</strong> Schedule Adjustment period<br />
is the fi rst Monday of the quarter through the fi rst day of<br />
week two. A� er Schedule Adjustment a student is charged<br />
for all registered classes.<br />
Class Schedules<br />
<strong>The</strong> student’s class schedule is available on or before<br />
the fi rst day of class each quarter. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute<br />
of <strong>Art</strong> reserves the right to make any schedule changes<br />
to courses, room assignments, session assignments and
Academic Policies<br />
student reassignment, as deemed appropriate by the Vice<br />
President or Dean of Academic Aff airs.<br />
Class Size<br />
<strong>The</strong> maximum number of students in a class is 30 for studios<br />
or labs and 50 for lecture. Typically the average class<br />
size is smaller. In the fall 2009 quarter, the average class<br />
size was 20 students. While there is no minimum class size,<br />
a class for which fewer than 12 students are registered<br />
may be cancelled. This is not only to make the best use of<br />
instruc� onal resources, but to foster adequate dialogue<br />
and academic exchange between class par� cipants.<br />
Class Assignments and Projects<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is considerable emphasis placed on simulated work<br />
situa� ons and comple� on dates. Class � me is set aside for<br />
comple� ng the projects. Students should spend addi� onal<br />
� me outside the class hours as necessary for mee� ng the<br />
established project submission deadlines. In the professional<br />
world, there are rarely any acceptable excuses for<br />
missing project deadlines. It is extremely important that<br />
students learn and exhibit professional discipline. Students<br />
should plan their schedules with an understanding that<br />
they will need to spend a signifi cant amount of � me on<br />
work outside class.<br />
A� endance Policies and Procedures<br />
<strong>The</strong> college is required by federal, state and accredita� on<br />
regula� ons to maintain and enforce an a� endance policy.<br />
Par� cipa� on in classroom ac� vi� es is vital to a student’s<br />
successful comple� on of each course and is an important<br />
facet of each student’s professional development. <strong>The</strong><br />
school’s A� endance Policy has been designed to refl ect the<br />
demanding nature of the professional fi elds. <strong>The</strong> student<br />
is expected to a� end all classes as scheduled, to be on<br />
� me and to remain in the classes for their full dura� on.<br />
It is recognized that a student may be absent from class<br />
due to a serious illness or family emergency. <strong>The</strong>re are no<br />
excused absences. Arrangements to complete make-up<br />
work for missed classes must be made with each individual<br />
instructor. Charges for tui� on, housing, kits, transporta� on<br />
and all other fees are non-refundable charges regardless of<br />
circumstances.<br />
122 Academic Policies<br />
Absence Categories<br />
Full Absence: A full day of absence is defi ned as being<br />
absent for the total number of hours classes are scheduled<br />
each day for the program in which the student is enrolled.<br />
Absences are recorded from the fi rst day of the quarter<br />
regardless of the reason for absence.<br />
Par� al Absence: A student who arrives late or leaves class<br />
early is charged in fi � een-minute increments of absenteeism.<br />
This absence accumulates toward absenteeism on a<br />
student’s quarterly record.<br />
Consecu� ve Absenteeism: A student absent fourteen<br />
consecu� ve calendar days without no� fying the Registrar<br />
is considered withdrawn from the program.<br />
A� endance Policy<br />
Absenteeism in a course may result in a� endance withdrawal<br />
in that class. An example would be that 32%<br />
absenteeism would equal 11 hours of absenteeism in a<br />
three-hour week course, 14 hours in a four-hour week<br />
course, 17.5 hours in a fi ve-hour week course and 21 hours<br />
of absenteeism in a six-hour week course. For culinary<br />
students, all lab classes are limited to 10% absenteeism<br />
and all lecture classes are limited to 20% absenteeism. This<br />
equals six hours for a three-hour-per-week course and 18<br />
hours for an 18-hour-per-week course.<br />
This missed � me includes accumulated � me marked as<br />
“tardy” from class as well as total absences from classes,<br />
as well as any classes missed during the Schedule Adjustment<br />
period. Students maybe withdrawn from the class<br />
and receive a ‘W’ and must repeat the course with a passing<br />
grade. A student who receives a� endance withdrawals<br />
in all classes will be suspended from school. A� endance<br />
withdrawal accompanied by an unsa� sfactory SAPP or ICR<br />
status may also result in dismissal.<br />
A� endance Withdrawal Appeal Procedure<br />
A student may appeal an a� endance withdrawal. Appeals<br />
must be submi� ed to the Vice President or Dean of Academic<br />
Aff airs in wri� ng within three school days a� er the<br />
no� ce of dismissal is sent.

Transfer Credit<br />
Before Matricula� on<br />
�� To receive transfer credit for courses taken before<br />
entering <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> or for achievement<br />
on AP and CLEP examina� ons, students must<br />
submit offi cial sealed transcripts, preferably prior to<br />
the start of classes but no later than the fi � h week of<br />
the student’s fi rst quarter at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of<br />
<strong>Art</strong>. Transfer credit requested a� er the fi � h week of<br />
the student’s fi rst quarter are reviewed only under<br />
excep� onal circumstances and may only be accepted<br />
with the approval of the Vice President or Dean of<br />
Academic Aff airs. Computer Literacy profi ciency exams<br />
and por� olio reviews for credit must be completed by<br />
the end of the fi rst week of enrollment.<br />
�� <strong>Course</strong> descrip� ons from the college or university<br />
catalog may be requested by the Academic Department<br />
Director if ques� ons arise. <strong>The</strong> catalog year must<br />
correspond with the date when the course was taken.<br />
(e.g. if an English course was taken from a college in<br />
1983, the course descrip� on from that college’s 1983<br />
catalog must accompany the transfer of credit request).<br />
�� Only college-level courses (100 level or equivalent)<br />
taken at an accredited ins� tu� on of higher educa� on<br />
are considered for transfer. No remedial courses or ESL<br />
(90 level or equivalent) will be considered.<br />
�� For technology-based courses or for courses where<br />
content may change over periods of � me courses taken<br />
more than 5 years prior to the request for transfer are<br />
not considered.<br />
�� Students transferring from another <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tutes<br />
school must complete at least 25% of their required<br />
coursework at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>.<br />
�� Students transferring credits from any other colleges<br />
must complete at least 25% of their required coursework<br />
at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>. This means students<br />
may not transfer in more than 135 credits in a<br />
bachelor degree program or 68 credits in an associate<br />
degree program.<br />
�� Only courses with grades of ‘C’ or be� er are considered<br />
for transfer. Only courses taken for a grade are considered<br />
for transfer of credit. One excep� on: Pass and<br />
Sa� sfactory grades are only considered if accompanied<br />
123 Academic Policies<br />
by a statement from the college or university that the<br />
‘P’ or ‘S’ is equivalent to a grade of ‘C’ or be� er.<br />
�� <strong>The</strong> scope of the coursework must be comparable to<br />
a course taught at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> to be<br />
considered for transfer of credit. Transfer credit is not<br />
accepted for Por� olio Prepara� on and Project Management.<br />
�� For General Educa� on courses, a course must be comparable<br />
to a course at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
�� Because both General Educa� on requirements and<br />
program requirements of <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
may vary signifi cantly from the student’s previous<br />
ins� tu� on(s), the gran� ng of transfer credit does not<br />
necessarily result in an earlier gradua� on date.<br />
Advanced Placement, Transfer and Profi -<br />
ciency Credit<br />
Students applying to <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> may be<br />
eligible to receive advanced standing credit in the following<br />
ways:<br />
�� Earning college credit at other accredited post-secondary<br />
ins� tu� ons.<br />
�� Taking the Advanced Placement Program (AP) course<br />
and score 3, 4 or 5 on the AP exam.<br />
�� Successfully comple� ng coursework included in ar� cula�<br />
on agreements that have been established between<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> and their high schools.<br />
�� Comple� ng the requirements of a Transfer Agreement<br />
established between <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> and the<br />
post secondary ins� tu� on they a� ended prior to coming<br />
to this ins� tu� on.<br />
�� Comple� ng the College Level Examina� on Program<br />
(CLEP) and earning a score or 50 or higher equivalent<br />
to courses off ered by <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>.<br />
�� Presen� ng evidence of life experience obtained in the<br />
workplace or through other means, as demonstrated<br />
through a por� olio of their work and addi� onal suppor�<br />
ng documenta� on. This applica� on needs to be<br />
done either before matricula� on or within the fi rst four<br />
quarters a� er matricula� on.<br />
�� Receiving a grade of 80% or higher on the Computer<br />
Literacy Profi ciency Exam.
Academic Policies<br />
A� er Matricula� on<br />
Transfer credit a� er matricula� on must be completed prior<br />
to the student’s fi nal term of study. Credits from other ins�<br />
tu� ons taken a� er matricula� on at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute<br />
of <strong>Art</strong> are accepted under the following agreement:<br />
�� <strong>The</strong> student must be enrolled in a full-� me status at<br />
the school during the same quarter in which a course is<br />
taken outside the school.<br />
�� <strong>The</strong> student must have approval from the Vice President<br />
or Dean of Academic Aff airs PRIOR to taking a<br />
course.<br />
�� One course per quarter maximum is allowed.<br />
�� <strong>The</strong> course must be passed with a grade of ‘C’ or better.<br />
�� <strong>The</strong> grade will not be factored into the CGPA. <strong>The</strong> student’s<br />
record will refl ect a “TR” grade.<br />
�� Credit will be awarded for the course when documenta�<br />
on is produced that the course was successfully<br />
completed.<br />
�� <strong>Course</strong>s must be taken as they pertain to the normal<br />
� me sequence within the student’s department.<br />
�� Concurrent enrollment course taken during the last<br />
quarter of enrollment will in all probability delay gradua�<br />
on by one quarter.<br />
Internal Transfer ( Change of Program)<br />
A student who wants to transfer from one program of<br />
study to another within <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> must:<br />
�� Have approval from the Academic Department Director<br />
of both the department they are leaving and the<br />
department they are entering.<br />
�� Have no failing grade in the courses they are transferring.<br />
�� Have a 2.0 CGPA in the courses they are transferring.<br />
�� Never have transferred before.<br />
Credit Transferability Statement<br />
Informa� on about the College’s accredi� on and state<br />
licensing is located on page 3 of this catalog. However, the<br />
fact that a school is licensed and accredited is not necessarily<br />
an indica� on that credits earned at that school will<br />
be accepted by another school. In the U.S. higher educa-<br />
� on system, transferability of credit is determined by the<br />
receiving ins� tu� on taking into account such factors as<br />
124 Academic Policies<br />
course content, grades, accredita� on and licensing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> goal of <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is to help you to<br />
prepare for entry-level employment in your chosen fi eld<br />
of study. <strong>The</strong> value of degree programs like those off ered<br />
by <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is their deliberate focus on<br />
marketable skills. <strong>The</strong> credits earned are not intended as a<br />
stepping stone for transfer to another ins� tu� on. For this<br />
reason, it is unlikely that the academic credits you earn at<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> will transfer to another school.<br />
Programs off ered by one school within <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Ins� tutes<br />
system may be similar to but not iden� cal to programs<br />
off ered at another school within the system. This is due to<br />
diff erences imposed by state law, use of diff erent instruc-<br />
� onal models, and local employer needs. <strong>The</strong>refore, if<br />
you decide to transfer to another school within <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong><br />
Ins� tutes system, not all of the credits you earn at <strong>The</strong> Illinois<br />
Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> may be transferable into that school’s<br />
program.<br />
If you are considering transferring to either another <strong>Art</strong><br />
Ins� tutes system school or an unaffi liated school, it is your<br />
responsibility to determine whether that school will accept<br />
your Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> credits. We encourage you to<br />
make this determina� on as early as possible. <strong>The</strong> Illinois<br />
Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> does not imply, promise, or guarantee<br />
transferability of its credits to any other ins� tu� on.<br />
Procedure to Inspect Educa� on Records<br />
<strong>The</strong> Family Educa� onal Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as<br />
amended (FERPA) sets out requirements designed to aff ord<br />
students certain rights with respect to their educa� on records.<br />
In addi� on, it puts limits on what informa� on <strong>The</strong> Illinois<br />
Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> may disclose to third par� es; without<br />
receiving prior wri� en consent from the student.<br />
Students have the right under FERPA to inspect and review<br />
their educa� on records. A student who wishes to inspect<br />
and review their records should submit a wri� en request<br />
to the Vice President or Dean of Academic Aff airs or the<br />
Director of Administra� ve and Financial Services. <strong>The</strong><br />
request should iden� fy as precisely as possible the records<br />
the student wishes to inspect. If the requested records are<br />
subject to inspec� on and review by the student, arrange-
Academic Policies<br />
ments for access are made within a reasonable period of<br />
� me but in no case more than 45 days a� er the request<br />
was made. <strong>The</strong> student will be no� fi ed of the � me and<br />
place where the records may be inspected. <strong>The</strong> school may<br />
require the presence of a school offi cial during the inspec-<br />
� on and review of a student’s records.<br />
Certain limita� ons exist on a student’s right to inspect and<br />
review their own educa� on records. Those limita� ons<br />
include, for example, the following: (i) fi nancial informa-<br />
� on submi� ed by parents; (ii) confi den� al le� ers and<br />
recommenda� ons placed in their fi les prior to January 1,<br />
1975; (iii) confi den� al le� ers and recommenda� ons placed<br />
in their fi les a� er January 1, 1975 to which the student<br />
has waived the right to inspect and review and that are<br />
related to the student’s admission, applica� on for employment<br />
or job placement or receipt of honors. In addi� on,<br />
the term “educa� on record” does not include certain types<br />
of records such as, records of instruc� onal, supervisory,<br />
administra� ve, and certain educa� onal personnel who<br />
are in the sole possession of the maker thereof, and are<br />
not accessible or revealed to any other individual except a<br />
subs� tute. When a record contains personally iden� fi able<br />
informa� on about more than one student, the student<br />
may inspect and review only the informa� on that relates<br />
to him/her personally.<br />
Disclosure of Educa� onal Records<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> generally does not permit<br />
disclosure of personally iden� fi able informa� on from the<br />
records of a student without prior wri� en consent of the<br />
student. Personally iden� fi able informa� on is disclosed<br />
(some items are mandatory, some discre� onary) from the<br />
records of a student without that student’s prior wri� en<br />
consent to the following individuals or ins� tu� ons or in the<br />
following circumstances:<br />

Correc� on of educa� onal records<br />
Students have the right under FERPA to ask to have records<br />
corrected which they believe are inaccurate, misleading or<br />
in viola� on of their privacy rights. <strong>The</strong> procedures for the<br />
correc� on of records:<br />
1. A student must ask the Director of Administra� ve<br />
and Financial Services or the Vice President or Dean of<br />
Academic Aff airs to amend a record. <strong>The</strong> student should<br />
iden� fy the part of the record requested to be changed<br />
and specify why it is believed to be inaccurate, misleading<br />
or in viola� on of the student’s Privacy rights.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> may either amend the<br />
record or decide not to amend the record. If it decides<br />
not to amend the record, it no� fi es the student of its<br />
decision and advises the student of the right to a hearing<br />
to challenge the informa� on believed to be inaccurate,<br />
misleading, or in viola� on of the student’s Privacy<br />
rights.<br />
3. Upon request, <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> will arrange<br />
for a hearing and no� fy the student reasonably
Academic Policies<br />
in advance of the date, place, and � me of the hearing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hearing is conducted by an individual who does not<br />
have a direct interest in the outcome of the hearing.<br />
That individual may be an offi cial of <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute<br />
of <strong>Art</strong>. <strong>The</strong> student is aff orded a forum for the opportunity<br />
to present evidence relevant to the issues raised in<br />
the original request to amend the student’s educa� on<br />
records. <strong>The</strong> student may be assisted by other people,<br />
including an a� orney.<br />
4. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> prepares a wri� en decision<br />
based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision includes a summary of the evidence, and<br />
the reasons for the decision.<br />
5. If, as a result of the hearing, <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of<br />
<strong>Art</strong> decides that the informa� on is inaccurate, misleading,<br />
or otherwise in viola� on of the privacy rights of the<br />
student, it (a) amends the record accordingly; and (b)<br />
informs the student of the amendment in wri� ng.<br />
6. If, as a result of the hearing, <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of<br />
<strong>Art</strong> decides that the informa� on in the educa� on record<br />
is not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in viola-<br />
� on of the privacy rights of the student, it informs the<br />
student of the right to place a statement in the record<br />
commen� ng on the contested informa� on in the record<br />
or sta� ng why he or she disagrees with the decision of<br />
the school.<br />
7. If a statement is placed in the educa� on records<br />

workers. <strong>The</strong>se companies a� end school-sponsored part-<br />
� me job fairs and recruit the talented students of <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> every quarter.. As students near<br />
gradua� on, Career Services can assist in fi nding industry<br />
part-� me work and/or internship opportuni� es in their<br />
fi eld of study. Career Services can help students get that<br />
fi rst taste of the industry through business contacts and<br />
matching skills with employer needs. Some programs<br />
require an internship as a component of students’ stud-<br />
134 Student Conduct<br />
ies, while some do not. But whether it is required or not,<br />
an internship is an excellent opportunity to put the skills<br />
learned in class into ac� on and can add value to a resume.<br />
Career Services has an extensive database of industry<br />
contacts to help students fi nd an internship that fi ts their<br />
needs. Career Services also gives students � ps and tools<br />
to guide them through the process. An internship can be a<br />
tremendous learning experience that can be helpful when<br />
applying for an entry-level posi� on in the fi eld. Students<br />
are encouraged to meet with Career Services to discuss<br />
the steps necessary to pursue that fi rst experience in the<br />
industry.<br />
Graduate Assistance<br />
Once students are ready to graduate, it is � me to search<br />
for full-� me entry-level industry posi� ons. If students have<br />
taken advantage of industry speakers and events sponsored<br />
by Career Services, joined trade industry student<br />
groups and a� ended professional organiza� onal mee� ngs,<br />
they have already started the networking process. Graduates<br />
work closely with the Career Services staff to match<br />
their skills to the needs of prospec� ve employers. Each<br />
program has an advisor that provides a personalized, comprehensive<br />
service tailored to the needs of the graduate.<br />
With the help of Career Services, students’ resumes are reviewed,<br />
interviewing skills are honed, and the interviewing<br />
process begins. As part of the gradua� on ritual, a por� olio<br />
show is held that provides the graduates an opportunity to<br />
show their work to many poten� al employers.. Although,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> does not guarantee employment<br />
or any par� cular level of compensa� on following<br />
gradua� on, the Career Services staff works hard to cul� -<br />
vate employment opportuni� es for graduates and match<br />
job leads with qualifi ed candidates. Graduates who confi ne<br />
employment considera� ons to one geographical area may<br />
limit employment opportuni� es available to them.<br />
Alumni Services<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> encourages alumni to maintain<br />

GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES<br />
Student Conduct Policy<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> recognizes its students as responsible<br />
and dedicated men and women who are preparing<br />
for career employment. An integral part of their career<br />
and professional development is the expecta� on that they<br />
conduct themselves during the educa� on process in the<br />
same manner as will be expected in all employment situa-<br />
� ons.<br />
<strong>The</strong> College reserves the right to suspend or to terminate<br />
any student who displays conduct detrimental to the<br />
educa� onal environment or to the wellbeing of fellow students,<br />
faculty/staff members, and guests within <strong>The</strong> Illinois<br />
Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> any sponsored ac� vi� es, or facili� es.<br />
Students who copy or otherwise plagia rize the artwork<br />
assignment projects of others or who otherwise display<br />
conduct det rimental to their own or others academic<br />
progress are also subject to disciplinary ac� on. <strong>The</strong> above<br />
behaviors violate <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> Student Conduct<br />
Policy but this is not an exhaus � ve list. <strong>The</strong> complete<br />
Student Conduct Policy can be found in the annual Student<br />
Handbook/ Planner and on MyAiCampus.com.<br />
Alcohol and Drug Policy<br />
In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is commi� ed, as a recipient<br />
of federal aid funds for students, to provide a drug-free<br />
workplace. <strong>The</strong> unlawful manufacture, distribu� on, dispensa�<br />
on, possession or use of a controlled substance is<br />
prohibited in the workplace. Students in viola� on of this<br />
prohibi� on are subject to appropriate personnel ac� on, up<br />
to and including termina� on.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> has established a drug-free<br />
awareness program available to all students. This program<br />
provides informa� on about the dangers of drug abuse, our<br />
policy of maintain ing a drug-free environment, available<br />
drug counseling, and rehabilita� on programs and the penal�<br />
es which may be imposed on students for drug abuse<br />
viola� ons occurring at the College or in school spon sored<br />
housing.<br />
135 Student Conduct<br />
<strong>The</strong> College is required to no� fy the federal government of<br />
any drug convic� on within ten days of receiving no� fi ca-<br />
� on from the student or otherwise receiving actual no� ce<br />
of such convic� on. A student who is so convicted will be<br />
subject to termina� on and/or the loss of any approved<br />
federal or state student aid.<br />
We fully support the federal government’s ini� a� ve to<br />
encourage the maintenance of a drug-free environment.<br />
We ask all of the student’s coop era� on in suppor� ng this<br />
policy. <strong>The</strong> complete Alcohol and Drug Policy can be found<br />
in the Student Handbook/Planner or on MyAiCampus.com.<br />
Campus Security Policy<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> faculty, staff and administra� on<br />
are concerned that every student enjoys a safe secure stay<br />
with the college. Crime awareness and campus security<br />
are ma� ers for which every student must take personal<br />
responsibility. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> Student Conduct<br />
Codes strictly prohibits the possession of weapons and the<br />
unlawful use of alcohol, controlled substances, and drugs<br />
on the campus or in off -campus housing. Viola� on of these<br />
rules or criminal acts of any kind may result in prompt<br />
disciplinary ac� on including expulsion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> Campus Security Policy is<br />
distributed to every student and employee. It discusses,<br />
among other topics, the importance of prompt reporting<br />
of crimes to school offi cials and local police; campus<br />
security procedures aimed at encouraging students and<br />
employees to be responsible for their own security and the<br />
security of others; counseling and other assistance available<br />
from <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> to any student who<br />
may be the vic� m of a crime; and sta� s� cs on selected<br />
crimes that <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> maintains pursuant<br />
to the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act. Students<br />
can fi nd Crime Report and Crime sta� s� cs for <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> in the annual Student Handbook/<br />
Planner or on MyAiCampus.com. <strong>The</strong>se data are publicly<br />
available on the web as described on page 3 of this catalog<br />
(Consumer Informa� on).<br />
Repor� ng Criminal Ac� vity<br />
Any student, employee, faculty or staff member who is<br />
vic� m of or witness to criminal ac� vity or other emergency
Student Aff airs<br />
should report the ac� vity immediately to the nearest<br />
faculty or staff member, who, in turn, no� fi es the college<br />
President or Execu� ve Commi� ee member and the police.<br />
Any observer of a sexual assault crime should no� fy<br />
security and the college President or Execu� ve Committee<br />
member immediately. Sexual assault includes but is<br />
not limited to rape, forced sodomy, forced oral copula-<br />
� on, rape by a foreign object, sexual ba� ery or threat of<br />
sexual assault. It is cri� cal that the rights of the vic� m are<br />
protected so that they are the one to call authori� es to<br />
accurately report the facts of the crime. <strong>The</strong> police arrive<br />
to review the crime, take a descrip� on of the a� acker,<br />
and ensure that the vic� m and escort are transported to<br />
a medical facility. Confi den� ality is required in order to<br />
protect all par� es involved.<br />
Any inquiries from newspapers, employees, parents or<br />
other students are immediately forwarded to the college<br />
President to avoid misrepresenta� on of the facts and<br />
breach of confi den� ality. Eff orts are made by the college<br />
staff or faculty to help the vic� m deal with any academic<br />
diffi cul� es resul� ng from the crime. Should a student,<br />
faculty or staff member be accused of a crime, appropriate<br />
disciplinary ac� on is taken un� l a formal inves� ga� on is<br />
completed. <strong>The</strong> vic� m is informed of any further disciplinary<br />
ac� on or appeal. Preven� on is the best tool for sexual<br />
assault. All staff , faculty and students should be aware of<br />
self-defense techniques and what sexual assault means.<br />
An� -hazing Policy<br />
Hazing involving <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> students or student<br />
groups is strictly prohibited. Hazing is defi ned as any<br />
ac� on or situa� on that recklessly or inten� onally endangers<br />
the mental or physical health or safety of a student<br />
for the purpose of ini� a� on or admission into or affi lia� on<br />
with any club or organiza� on opera� ng under the sanc� on<br />
of an ins� tu� on of higher educa� on.<br />
For purposes of this defi ni� on, any ac� vity as described in<br />
this defi ni� on that the ini� a� on or admission into an affi<br />
lia� on with a club or organiza� on is directly or indirectly<br />
condi� oned shall be presumed to be a “forced” ac� vity,<br />
the willingness of an individual to par� cipate in such ac� vity<br />
notwithstanding.<br />
136 Student Conduct<br />
This policy is applicable to all students and members of a<br />
student club or organiza� on at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>.<br />
Every student and member of a student club or organiza-<br />
� on is responsible for complying with this policy.<br />
Individuals and student clubs that force, require or endorse<br />
viola� ons are held directly responsible through the college’s<br />
student conduct process and if appropriate, through<br />
local authori� es, which may pursue criminal ac� on.<br />
Students who wish to make a complaint under this policy<br />
should contact the Dean of Student Aff airs. <strong>The</strong> negligence<br />
or consent of a student or any assump� on of risk by the<br />
student is not a defense to an ac� on brought pursuant<br />
to this policy. Student club ac� vi� es or programs must<br />
not interfere with the rights and ac� vi� es of others and<br />
should always refl ect the best interests of the members of<br />
the organiza� on it represents and the college community<br />
as a whole. In all cases of alleged viola� ons of this policy,<br />
faculty and staff advisors and the na� onal/interna� onal<br />
headquarters, if applicable, of any organiza� on will be<br />
no� fi ed.<br />
Sexual Harassment Policy<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> is commi� ed to providing<br />
workplaces and learning environments that are free from<br />

but not limited to race, sex, gender, color, religion,<br />
sexual orien ta� on, age, na� onal origin, disability, medical<br />
condi� on, marital status, veteran status or on any other<br />
basis protected by law. Such conduct is unprofes sional, unproduc�<br />
ve, illegal, and generally considered bad for business.<br />
Consequently, all conduct of this nature is expressly<br />
prohib ited, regardless of whether it violates any law.<br />
Defi ni� on of sexual harassment<br />
Sexual harassment consists of unwelcome sexual advances,<br />
requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct<br />
of a sexual nature where:<br />
�� Submission to such conduct is an explicit implicit term<br />
or condi� on of a person’s status in a course, program<br />
or ac� vity or in admission, or in an academic decision;<br />
�� Submission to or rejec� on of such conduct is used as<br />
a basis for an academic decision; or
Student Aff airs<br />
�� Such conduct has the purpose or eff ect of unreasonably<br />
interfering with an individual’s work or academic<br />
performance or crea� ng an in� mida� ng, hos� le, or<br />
off ensive work or educa� onal environment.<br />
Examples of sexual harassment include, but are not limited<br />
to: unwanted sexual advances; demands for sexual favors<br />
in exchange for favorable treat ment; verbal abuse of a<br />
sexual nature; graphic commentary about an individual’s<br />
body, sexual prowess, or sexual defi ciencies; leering;<br />
whistling; touching; pinching; assault; coerced sexual acts;<br />
sug ges� ve, insul� ng or obscene comments or gestures;<br />
stalk ing; and displaying sexually sugges� ble objects or<br />
pictures. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> prohibits all conduct<br />
of this nature whether or not such conduct violates any<br />
applicable laws.<br />
Other Forms of Harassment<br />
Verbal abuse, insul� ng com ments and gestures, and other<br />
harassing conduct are also forbidden under this policy<br />
when directed at an individual because of his or her race,<br />
color, sex, sexual orienta� on, familial status, age, religion,<br />
ethnic origin, or disability. It is the responsibility of each<br />
employee and each student to conduct him or herself in a<br />
professional manner at all � mes and to refrain from such<br />
harassment.<br />

<strong>The</strong> school’s Arbitra� on Policy contains addi� onal informa-<br />

follows.<br />
Arbitra� on Policy<br />
Every student and <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of A agrees that<br />
any dispute or claim between the student and <strong>The</strong> Illinois<br />
Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> (or any company affi liated with <strong>The</strong> Illinois<br />
Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>, or any of its offi cers, directors, trustees,<br />
employees or agents) arising out of or rela� ng to a student’s<br />
enrollment or a� endance at <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of<br />
<strong>Art</strong> whether such dispute arises before, during, or a� er the<br />
student’s a� endance and whether the dispute is based on<br />
contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, shall be, at the student’s<br />
or <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>’s elec� on, submi� ed<br />
to and resolved by individual binding arbitra� on pursuant<br />
to the terms described herein. This policy, however, is not
Student Aff airs<br />
intended to modify a student’s right, if any, to fi le a grievance<br />
with any state educa� onal licensing agency.<br />
If a student decides to ini� ate arbitra� on, the student<br />
may select either, JAMS or the Na� onal Arbitra� on Forum<br />
(“NAF”) to serve as the arbitra� on administrator pursuant<br />
to its rules of procedure. If <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
intends to ini� ate arbitra� on, it will no� fy the student in<br />
wri� ng by regular mail at the student’s latest address on<br />
fi le with <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>, and the student will<br />
have 20 days from the date of the le� er to select one of<br />
these organiza� ons as the administrator. If the student fails<br />
to select an administrator within that 20day period, <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> will select one.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> agrees that it will not elect to<br />
arbitrate any undividable claim of less than the relevant<br />
jurisdic� onal threshold that a student may bring in small<br />
claims court (or in a similar court of limited jurisdic� on<br />
subject to expedited procedures). If that claim is transferred<br />
or appealed to a diff erent court, however, or if a<br />
student’s claim exceeds than the relevant jurisdic� onal<br />
threshold <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> reserves the right to<br />
elect arbitra� on and, if it does so, each student agrees that<br />
the ma� er will be resolved by binding arbitra� on pursuant<br />
to the terms of this Sec� on.<br />
IF EITHER A STUDENT OR <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong><br />
CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE<br />
RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EXCEPT<br />
AS PROVIDED IN THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES,<br />
OR OTHERWISE TO LITIGATE THE DISPUTE OR CLAIM IN<br />
ANY COURT (OTHER THAN IN SMALL CLAIMS OR SIMILAR<br />
COURT, AS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, OR<br />
IN AN ACTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD).<br />
FURTHER, A STUDENT WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PAR-<br />
TICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS<br />
OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO<br />
ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL<br />
AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT A STUDENT OR <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY<br />
NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.<br />
<strong>The</strong> arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate claims<br />
on a class ac� on basis, and claims brought by or against<br />
a student may not be joined or consolidated with claims<br />
brought by or against any other person. Any arbitra� on<br />
hearing shall take place in the federal judicial district<br />
138 Student Conduct<br />
in which the student resides. Upon a student’s wri� en<br />
request, <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong> will pay the fi ling fees<br />
charged by the arbitra� on administrator, up to a maximum<br />
of $3,500 per claim. Each party will bear the expense of its<br />
own a� orneys, experts and witnesses, regardless of which<br />
party prevails, unless applicable law gives a right to recover<br />
any of those fees from the other party. If the arbitrator<br />
determines that any claim or defense is frivolous or wrongfully<br />
intended to oppress the other party, the arbitrator<br />
may award sanc� ons in the form of fees and expenses reasonably<br />
incurred by the other party (including arbitra� on<br />
administra� on fees, arbitrators’ fees, and a� orney, expert<br />
and witness fees), to the extent such fees and expenses<br />
could be imposed under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of<br />
Civil Procedure.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Federal Arbitra� on Act (FAA), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq.,<br />
shall govern this arbitra� on provision. This arbitra� on<br />
provision shall survive the termina� on of a student’s<br />
rela� onship with <strong>The</strong> Illinois Ins� tute of <strong>Art</strong>. If a student<br />
has a ques� on about the arbitra� on administrator men-<br />

MISCELLANEOUS POLICIES<br />
College Policies to Comply with the Higher Educa� on Opportunity<br />
Act of 2008<br />
<strong>The</strong> unauthorized distribu� on of copyrighted material, including<br />
unauthorized peer-to-peer fi le sharing, may subject<br />
students and individuals to civil and criminal liabili� es. Almost<br />
all of the music, movies, television shows, so� ware,<br />
games and images found on the Internet are protected by<br />
federal copyright law. <strong>The</strong> owner of the copyright in these<br />
works has the right to control their distribu� on, modifi ca-<br />
� on, reproduc� on, public display and public performance.<br />
It is generally illegal therefore to use fi le sharing networks<br />
to download and share copyrighted works without the
Student Aff airs<br />
copyright owner’s permission unless “fair use” or another<br />
exemp� on under copyright law applies.<br />
Fair use under the federal Copyright Act allows the use<br />
without permission of copyrighted material for the purpose<br />
of cri� cism, comment, news repor� ng or teaching<br />
under certain limited circumstances. <strong>The</strong>re is no blanket<br />
excep� on from liability for students or employees of<br />
educa� onal ins� tu� ons, however, and whether the use of<br />
copyrighted material without permission falls within “fair<br />
use” or one of the other excep� ons in the Act depends on<br />
a very detailed, case-by-case analysis of various factors.<br />
Students should be aware that sharing music, videos, so� -<br />
ware and other copyrighted materials is very likely not to<br />
be considered a ‘fair use” and therefore may be a viola� on<br />
of the law.<br />
A viola� on of the ins� tu� on’s policy for use of its informa-<br />
� on technology system can result in termina� on of network<br />
access for the student and/or other disciplinary ac-<br />
� on including removal of the student from the ins� tu� on.<br />
Moreover, there are severe civil and criminal penal� es<br />
for copyright infringement under federal law. A copyright<br />
owner is en� tled to recover actual damages and profi ts<br />
resul� ng from an infringement, but also may recover statutory<br />
damages ranging from $750 to $30,000 per work for<br />
a non-willful infringement and up to $150,000 for a willful<br />
infringement, even if there is no proof of actual damages,<br />
in addi� on to court costs and reasonable a� orneys’ fees.<br />
<strong>The</strong> government also can fi le criminal charges that can<br />
result in fi nes and imprisonment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> College’s policies in regard to copyright infringement<br />
via the Internet prohibit the illegal downloading or unauthorized<br />
distribu� on of copyrighted materials using the<br />
ins� tu� on’s informa� on technology system. <strong>The</strong> College’s<br />
policies prohibit use of the College computer network to<br />
engage in illegal copying or distribu� on of copyrighted<br />
works such as by unauthorized peer-to-peer fi le sharing<br />
(i.e., the sharing of copyrighted works, typically in digital or<br />
electronic fi les, without permission.<br />
