Our Mission Statement
Concorde prepares committed students for successful employment in a

primacy of that covenant. We acknowledge their commitment, the financial
and personal sacrifices they make to attend Concorde. We dedicate ourselves
to making their sacrifices manageable, and we commit to truly preparing them
for success in a gainful healthcare profession.
Our students have set very immediate goals for starting careers. The practical
hands-on learning needed to attain their goals is foremost in their minds. We
satisfy their expectations by modeling our faculty, facilities, equipment, and
curriculum after the healthcare field they will enter.
We know that the ultimate judge of their preparation will be their future
employers. Employers expect our students to have more than just knowledge

the drive that defines professionals, and we accept responsibility for
modeling and instilling those values. We partner with employers to ensure
our programs reflect real work expectations and settings through program
advisory boards, externships, and clinical rotations. Once students have
completed their training, we again call on our network of employer
relationships to support students in securing a job in their chosen profession.
Throughout our students' preparation, we endeavor to meet the highest
practicable standards, and our faculty, equipment, and facilities reflect that
commitment. We strive for superior outcomes in student satisfaction,

administrative staff, faculty and their peers. Administrative departments
explain ways in which they assist students and clarify students' rights and
responsibilities. In the event a student is unable to attend orientation,
Student Affairs will meet with the student during the first week of class to
ensure all relevant information is reviewed with him/her
Waitlists
Concorde limits the number of students who are accepted for admission to
its programsto maintain optimum faculty to student ratios and ensure
appropriate clinical opportunity for all students.. Once all applicants are
processed, those placed on the waitlist will be ranked using a rubric.
The rubric is a points -based assessment, with points awarded based on
applicant success in the following components: Online Readiness
Assessment, clinical entrance assessment, interview with department
personnel, and financial readiness.
Alternates
Depending on circumstances, students may be conditionally accepted into
certain programs as an Alternate Student. Alternates are chosen based on the
rank order of the waitlist. Waitlist applicants selected as an alternate must
attend orientation and all classes scheduled in the first seven calendar days.
Alternates are subject to the requirements of the school catalog, including
attendance, behavior, dress code, and classroom assignments.
Should space become available within the seven days, alternates have the
opportunity to be accepted as regular students. If not formally accepted as
regular students during the seven days, alternates will not be able to attend
further classes. If not accepted as regular students, alternates will not incur
anytuition charges. Alternates may be charged for books and equipment not

Readmission
Effective: 06/19/2020
It is Concorde's policy to encourage previously withdrawn students to return
to school to complete their education,
may be required to demonstrate skill competency prior to readmission.
Readmission is contingent upon space availability and requires final approval
of the Campus President. Returning students will be enrolled into the
program curriculum in place at time of reentry; exceptions may apply for
students who are withdrawn in good standings. Students who are dismissed
from the program are not eligible for readmission. Under certain conditions,
students may be required to complete and pass a drug screening, at their
expense, prior to readmission as outlined in the Drug Screening section of
this catalog.
Criminal Background Check
It is Concorde's policy to ensure that enrolling students are aware of the
potential effect and consequences of past criminal behaviors.
Externship/clinical sites, employers or state/national licensing agencies have
requirements that could prevent a student from completing the program or
finding employment in his/her chosen field. Consentto perform a criminal
background check must be completed and received as part of the admissions
process. Resultswill be evaluated immediately upon receipt, but no later
than the add/drop period. Convictions, guilty pleas or nolo contendere pleas
for certain drug -related, fraud -based, or other serious crimes will disqualify a
prospective studentfrom remaining actively enrolled: s/he will be
unregistered from all courses and the Institution without Incurring academic
orfinancial penalty. A listing of the specific offensesthat are considered can
be obtained from the Institution.
If a potential applicant believes that the results of the background check are
incorrect, the Institution will provide the student with the contact
information to appeal the Institution's decision. However, the application
process will not moveforward until the appeal is complete, and the student
may need to reapply fora future class if the appeal is accepted.
Many states, employers, and agencies impose restrictions on the
employment, registration, licensure, or certification of workers with certain
criminal convictions. Facilities and institutions that accept Concorde students
for clinical rotation and/or externships, as well as potential employers, may
require an additional criminal and/or personal background checkand may
reject a student based on criteria different from those applied to the student
during the enrollment process.
Additionally, some agencies and employers may require candidatesto submit
to a drugscreening test. Students with criminal recordsthat include felonies
or misdemeanors (including those that are drug -related) or personal
background issues such as bankruptcy might not be accepted by these
agencies for clinical assignments, externship or employment following
completion of the program. Employment and externship decisions are
outside the control of the institution.
Concorde cannot guarantee clinical rotation and/or externship placements
for individuals with criminal, drug -related, or personal background histories
that preclude them from working in a professional setting.
Applicants who havequestions regarding howthese issues may affect their
clinical/externship placement or potential future employment should discuss
this matterwith a school official prior to beginning their program.
Students must meet all entrance requirements in place at the time of Drug Screening
readmission. The reentry process requires review and approval of the Effective: 06/19/2020
student's financial status, financial aid eligibility (when applicable),
completion of enrollment agreement, collection and review of official Externship and clinical facilities may require the school to follow drug -
transcripts, as well as prior academic performance and any other screening requirements including unannounced screening prior to working
documentation required by the program the student is reentering. Students

with patients. Concorde reserves the right to conduct random drug screening
at anytime throughout the program. Drug Screening results are confidential,
and are evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Students falling the screening will
immediately be withdrawn from the school. A student may request a retest
at his or her own expense if s/he believes the screening resulted in a false
positive. The rescreening must consist of an observed urine test within 24
hours at a facility directed by Concorde. If the retest Is negative the student
may remain in school. If the results of the retest are diluted, adulterated,
and/or substituted readings, it will be considered "flagged" and will be
considered a failed test.
A student withdrawn for a failed drug screening has one opportunity to be
eligible to apply for readmission into the school and program of study under
the following conditions: Prior to readmission, a drug screening must be
taken at the direction of the school and paid for by the student. If the drug
screening is negative and the student meets all conditions of the
Readmission section of this catalog then the student will be approved to re-
enter into the school and program. If the drug screening is positive, the
student will be prohibited from reentering the school and program at any
time in the future. Any subsequent violation of the drug policy after
readmission will result in immediate dismissal.
Students should be advised that Concorde is governed by federal law in
matters regarding the possession and use of controlled or illegal substances.
As referenced in the Drug & Alcohol Abuse Policy outlined In this catalog, the
possession or use of amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and
phencyclidine are illegal under federal law.
The possession or use of marijuana is illegal under federal law,
notwithstanding the provisions of the Compassionate Use Act (California
Health & Safety Code 11362.S). A physician's recommendation under that
Act has no legal effect under federal law, and a positive drug test result for
metabolites of marijuana will result in a student's dismissal from school.
Additionally, clinical sites may require drug testing as a condition of
participation. Concorde does not accommodate student requests to be
exempt from placement at clinical/extern sites that require drug testing.
If a student has a prescription for a controlled substance, with the exception
of any recommendation for marijuana under the Compassionate Use Act, he
or she should provide proof of this to Concorde within 7 calendar days of
self -disclosure or immediately following a failed drug test result. The said
documentation should include written verification of controlled substance
prescription from the student's physician. Concorde reserves the right to
verify documentation upon student's authorization. Students should be
advised that Concorde is governed by federal law in matters regarding the
possession and use of controlled or illegal substances.
Disclosure Concerning Arbitration and
Class Action Waiver
Effective: 07/06/2020
As part of your enrollment at the school, you are
being required to sign an arbitration agreement
and class action waiver, which are defined as
follows:
Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute
resolution, is a way to resolve disputes outside the
courts. The dispute will be decided by one or more
persons (the 'arbitrators', 'arbiters' or'arbitral
tribunal'), which renders the 'arbitration award'. An
arbitration award is legally binding on both sides
and enforceable in the courts. A pre -dispute
arbitration agreement requires a person to obtain
relief through arbitration instead of seeking relief
through litigation in the courts.
A class action waiver prevents an individual from
bringing or participating in a class action. A class
action, also known as a class action lawsuit, class
suit, or representative action, is a type of lawsuit
where one of the parties is a group of people who
are represented collectively by a member of that
group.
In addition, the school cannot require that the
borrower participate in arbitration, nor in any
internal dispute resolution process, prior to the
borrower's filing of a defense to repayment clairn
with the U.S. Department of Education under 34
C.F.R. § 685.206(e); the school cannot in anyway
require that a student limit, waive, or relinquish
their ability to pursue filing a borrower defense
claim with the U.S. Department of Education under
34 C.F.R. § 685.206(e); and, if any arbitration is
ultimately undertaken pursuant to a pre -dispute
arbitration agreement, the period of that
arbitration tolls the limitations period for filing a
borrower defense to repayment application or
claim with the U.S. Department of Education under
34 C.F.R. § 685.206(e)(6)(ii).
Articulation Partnerships for
Concorde — California

an ethical, legal, safe, and effective manner. In all work activities, program graduates will recognize, respect, and act with consideration for individual differences,
values, preferences, and expressed needs. Additionally, PTA graduates will effectively communicate with other members of the healthcare delivery team, interact
with members of the patient's/client's family and caregivers, and work cooperatively with other healthcare providers. In collaboration with the Physical Therapist,
PTA graduates will participate in the education of other healthcare providers, patients/clients and their families or primary caregivers, as well as the community.
Program Mission
In keeping with the mission of Concorde, the PTA program will provide a student -centered learning environment that will prepare knowledgeable, competent and
caring individuals for a rewarding career as a PTA. Through diverse training in the classroom and laboratory as well as real -world experiences, PTA students will
acquire the theoretical knowledge, technical skills, critical reasoning, and professional behaviors necessary to become contributing and collaborative members of the
healthcare profession. The program is dedicated to graduating entry-level PTAs who will utilize evidence -based, current practice to best meet the diverse needs of
employers and citizens, while providing quality patient care under the direction and supervision of a Physical Therapist. Ultimately, the program strives to instill
professional commitment, community involvement, and lifelong learning that will continually enhance the career of the PTA.

the percentage of program completion, and the applicable percentage will be
applied to the formula used in the refund calculation as stated below.
For students withdrawing from degree -granting programs or the Vocational
Nursing program, the percentage of program completion is calculated by
dividing the number of days the Student was scheduled to attend in the
period of enrollment or payment period as of the last recorded day of
attendance into the number of days comprising the period of enrollment or
payment period for which the Student has been charged.

assessment for the STRF, or It must be paid on your behalf, if you are a
student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are
enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.
You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to
pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not
enrolled in a residency program.
It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial
aid documents, receipts, or any other information that documents the

eligible for recovery from STRF.
A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a
period of noncollection may, at any time, file a written application for
recovery from STRF for the debt that would have otherwise been eligible for
recovery. If it has been more than four (4) years since the action or event
that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written
application for recovery within the original four (4) year period, unless the
period has been extended by another act of law.
However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security
number or a taxpayer Identification number.
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
The Institution follows the federal Return of Title IV Funds Policy to
determine the amount of Title IV funds the Student has received and the
amount, if any, which needs to be returned at the time of withdrawal. Under
current federal regulations, the amount of funds earned is calculated on a
pro rata basis through 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment.
After the 609/point in the payment period or period of enrollment, a Student
has earned 100% of the Title IV funds. The Institution may adjust the
Student's account based on any repayments of Title IV funds that the
Institution was required to make.
Students who withdraw from school or are withdrawn by the school prior to
completing more than 60%of their period of enrollment or payment period
for degree programs (a period of time for which students receive Title IV aid)
will have their Title IV eligibility recalculated based on the percentage of the
period of enrollment or payment period for degree programs attended. For
example, a student who withdraws completing only 30% of the period of
enrollment or payment period for degree programs will have "earned"
only 30%of Title IV aid. The school and/or the student must return the
remaining 70%.
This policy applies to any student who withdraws or is withdrawn by
Concorde Career College and receives financial aid from Title IV funds. The
term "Title IV funds" refers to Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans,
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Parent Loans for
Undergraduate Students (PLUS), and Federal Perkins Loans.
2020-2021 Garden Grove Catalog I Publication Date: November 30, 2020 1 Effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021
29
For purposes of the Return of Title IV Funds Policy, a student's withdrawal
date is the student's last day of attendance.
Title IV aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis up to and
Including the 609z point in the period of enrollment or payment period for
degree programs. Title IV aid is considered 1009zearned after that point In
time. The percentage of Title IV aid earned is calculated in the following
manner for all programs:
Number of days

thestudent*
Percentage of period of
Number of days = enrollment or payment period for

enrollment or
payment period
for degree
programs*
*The total number of calendar days in a period of enrollment or payment
period for degree programs and the number of days completed by the
student will exclude any scheduled breaks of five days or more.
The percentage of period of enrollment or payment period for degree
programs completed will be the percentage of Title IV aid earned by the
student. The percentage of Title IV aid unearned (i.e., amount to be returned
to the appropriate Title IV program) will be 100% less the percentage earned.
Concorde Career College will return unearned aid from the student's account
as follows:
1. Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans (other than PLUS loans).
2. Subsidized Direct Stafford Loans.
3. Federal Perkins Loans (if applicable).
4. Direct PLUS Loans.
5. Federal Pell Grants for which a return of funds is required.
6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants(FSEOG)for
which a return of funds is required.
Concorde will return the unearned aid within forty-five (45) days from the
date the school determined the student withdrew.
When the total amount of unearned aid is greater than the amount returned
by Concorde Career College from the student's account, the student is
responsible for returning unearned aid to the appropriate Title IV program
as follows:
1. Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans (other than PLUS loans).*
2. Subsidized Direct Stafford Loans.*
3. Federal Perkins Loans (if applicable).-
4. Direct PLUS Loans.*
5. Federal Pell Grants for which a return of funds is required.**
6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) for
which a return of funds is required.**
* Loan amounts are returned in accordance with the terms of the
promissory note.
** Unearned federal grant amounts to be returned by the student will be
reduced by 50%.
Within forty-five (45)days of the date the school determined the student
withdrew, the student will be notified in writing if he or she is required to
return any federal grant aid (Federal Pell or FSEOG). The student is
considered to be in an overpayment status. A student who owes a federal
grant overpayment remains eligible for Title IV funds for a period of forty-five
(45) days from the earlier of the date the school sends a notification to the
student of the overpayment or the date the school was required to notify the
student of the overpayment.
If during the forty-five (45)-day period the student repays the overpayment
to the school or signs a repayment agreement with the U.S. Department of
Education, the student will remain eligible for further Title IV funds. If during
the forty-five (45)-day period the student fails to repay the overpayment or
sign a repayment agreement with the U.S. Department of Education, the
student is considered to be in an overpayment status and, thus, ineligible for
any additional Title IV aid until that amount is repaid.

Concorde Career College ("Concorde") supports and endorses the Federal
Drug -Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug -Free Schools and
Communities Act amendments of 1989.
The unlawful manufacturing, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of
alcohol, marijuana, or any controlled substance by an employee or student
on Concorde's property or as part of any Concorde activity is prohibited. Any
student or employee of Concorde found to be using, possessing,
manufacturing, or distributing alcohol, marijuana, or any controlled

For purposes of this policy, "conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a
plea of nolo contendere) or imposition of sentence or both by any judicial
body charged with the responsibility of the federal or state criminal drug
statutes.
Health Risks
Abuse of alcohol and use of drugs is harmful to one's physical, mental, and
social well-being. With excessive drug use, life becomes centered on drugs to
the exclusion of health, work, school, family, and general well-being.
Accidents and injuries are more likely to occur if alcohol and drugs are used.
Alcohol and drug users can lose resistance to disease and destroy one's
health. Increasing tolerance developed by the user complicates the effects of
drug use. This tolerance may be psychological, physiological, or both and may
lead to greater danger of overdose.
Alcoholism takes a toll on personal finances, health, social relationships, and
families. Abuse of alcohol or use of drugs may cause an individual driving a
motor vehicle to injure himself or herself or others and may subject the
person to criminal prosecution.
The following summarizes the effects and dangers of the major categories
of drugs:
Amphetamines: Physical dependency, heart problems, infections,
malnutrition, and death may result from continued high doses
of amphetamines.
Narcotics: Chronic use of narcotics can cause lung damage, convulsions,
respiratory paralysis, and death.
Depressants: These drugs, such as tranquilizers and alcohol, can produce
slowed reactions, slowed heart rate, damage to liver and heart, respiratory
arrest, convulsions, and accidental overdoses.
Hallucinogens: These drugs may cause psychosis, convulsions, coma, and
psychological dependency.
Counseling, Treatment, or Rehabilitation
Programs
The administration of Concorde maintains a list of hospital and community
agencies available to assist employees and students seeking alcohol and drug
counseling and treatment.
Employees and students who have a substance -dependency problem are
strongly encouraged to obtain counseling and treatment. Anyone seeking
additional Information about health problems and treatment related to
alcohol and drug problems can contact the Campus President or Human
Resources. Requests for assistance will be held in complete confidentiality
and will be provided on a need -to -know basis only.
Penalties
A student suspected of the possession, sale, manufacture, use, or
distribution of a controlled substance, may be suspended from the student's
program of study during the Investigation and may become ineligible for
continued participation in the Higher Education Act (HEA), Title IV Student
Assistance Programs. If convicted, the student's relationship with Concorde
2020-2021 Garden Grove Catalog I Publication Date: November 30, 2020 1 Effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021

Health Requirements
Health Services
The school does not provide health services on campus other than making
available immunizations at scheduled times.
Immunizations: Clinical/externship sites require various vaccinations
prior to participation in a clinical/externship rotation. Concorde offers
these immunizations during on -campus health clinics at no cost. The
immunization requirements are based on general requirements for
working in a healthcare setting and may change without notice. If
students are unavailable during scheduled immunization times, it is the
students' responsibility to ensure compliance with immunization
requirements at their own cost. If a student declines any of these
immunizations, Concorde cannot guarantee placement at a
clinical/externship site. In these cases, the student may be required to
complete additional health facility -specific documentation, including
waivers. Under no conditions can Concorde guarantee employment.
• Health Insurance Coverage: The externship/clinical sites do not provide
health insurance coverage for students. All students are covered by
accident and liability insurance policies while in school or on clinical
rotation. This policy does not automatically pay for all medical expenses
due to school -related accidents. It is designed to work together with
the insurance the student may already have. A student is required to
meet with the Program Director regarding the processing of a claim.
None of the programs provide health insurance as part of the tuition
fee. Health insurance is the sole responsibility of the student.
Health Conditions: It is the responsibility of the student to Inform the
appropriate instructor(s) of any physical or mental condition that could
interfere with the safety of the student and/or patient while at the
externship/clinical site.
While ill, it is the responsibility of the student to notify the Program Director
and the clinical site. Students are not permitted to attend class or clinical
with a communicable disease.

Academic Information
Clinical Experience/Externship
Certain programs require students to serve a clinical experience/externship
in the office of a physician, dentist, hospital, clinic, or long -term -care facility
during, near the end or upon completion of academic training. The Director
of Clinical Education (DCE)/Clinical Instructor/Extern Coordinator will arrange
all clinicals/externships. The clinical/extern site is under no obligation to
employ the student following completion of the clinical/externship. During
the clinical experience/externship, students are given the opportunity to put
their classroom and laboratory training into practical application under
actual employment conditions. While on clinical/externship, the student is
under the supervision of a Clinical Instructor/Extern Coordinator or school
faculty. Any absence Incurred during the clinical experience/externship must
be reported to the Program Director, the Clinical Instructor/Extern
Coordinator, DCE and the Clinical/Extern Site Supervisor/Preceptor. Clinical
experience/externship must begin Immediately upon assignment following
classroom completion. All program and catalog requirements apply, including
dress code, name tags, drug use, etc. Additionally, students must abide by
the rules and regulations of the site to which they are assigned. This includes
rules governing confidentiality of medical records and reports to conform to
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). While on

particular facility or geographical location; however, Concorde will
consider the student's request when making assignments. Students are
not permitted to complete their clinical/externship experiences at
current employers or sites where family members may have direct
influence over students' clinical or externship experiences.
2. Students must work the same hours as employees at their assigned
site. Some programs require 12-hour shifts and may 6e completed
days, nights, and weekends to obtain the desired clinical skills.
Depending upon state laws, a certain amount of time is required for
lunch. Lunch time is not included in the total clinical/externship hours.
3. Clinical/externship is a part of the student's education. Students will
not be paid and may be withdrawn from the program if the facility
reports that they were asking for or receiving pay.
4. Certain clinical/extern sites may require that students be tested for
drug usage and/or be checked for any criminal background prior to
accepting them. In Respiratory Therapy, all hospitals require drug
testing and background checks.
5. Students must meet the objectives on the clinical/externship checkoff
and their midpoint evaluations. An unsatisfactory evaluation from the
healthcare facility may require the student to serve an extra
clinical/externship period, return to school for further training, or result
in his or her withdrawal from the school. Poor performance or removal
from a clinical site may result in withdrawal from the program.
6. As part of the externship requirements, students are responsible for
completing and submitting forms and documents as required. Students
are responsible for accurate and prompt recording of work hours as
well as submitting time to the campus as instructed. Respiratory
Therapy students must sign in and out using DataARC documenting

verification sheets and that the Academic department has received
them upon completion of his or her externship.
7. It is the student's responsibility to attend scheduled meetings, including
site interviews, before and during his or her clinical/externship.
Students may be required to return to the campus during their
clinical/externship at the direction of their Clinical Instructor/Extern
Coordinator or Program Director.

Any conduct that reflects discredit upon the student, the school, or the
site will subject the student to withdrawal from the school.
9. If a student Is going to be late or absent, he or she must notify the
healthcare facility and the Clinical Instructo r/Extern ship Coordinator.
Violation of attendance policy will result in probation or withdrawal
from school.
10. Students should immediately notify their Clinical Instructor/Extern

clinical/externship: personality conflicts, Illness, etc. (Students must
never walk off the site, for any reason, without first notifying their
Clinical Instructor/Extern Coordinator or Program Director.)
11. Tuition payments must be kept current.
12. If a student is dismissed from a clinical/externship site, the Program
Director will evaluate the circumstances of his or her dismissal, and a
decision will be made regarding his or her status as a student. The
student may be withdrawn or dismissed from school atthat time. If the
student is allowed to continue his or her clinical/externship and is
dismissed from another site, he or she will 6e withdrawn from school.
Students who are dismissed from clinical/externships will be required
to repeat the entire clinical/externship.
Students may be required to travel up to 200 miles away from campus to
attend clinical assignments, depending on programmatic requirements.
Specific Information regarding travel distance to clinical assignmentswill be
provided to students duringthe enrollment process. Students are

Criteria for Assessing Student Performance
While on Externship
Students must demonstrate passing scores in all courses, including
practical written exams and hands-on lab exams, prior to being assigned
an externship.
During the externship course, each student will be evaluated in the areas of
professional performance and appearance, attendance, and practical skills.
To complete the externship successfully, a student must satisfactorily
perform each procedure outlined in the training plan and demonstrate
satisfactory work habits.
If, when evaluated, the extern is unable to perform certain procedures
properly, the student will be required to return to campus for additional
training in the unsatisfactory areas. During the externship course, the
student may be required to return to campus for weekly scheduled meetings
to provide continued interaction with the Extern Coordinator. If the student's
work habits are unsatisfactory on the first evaluation, the coordinator will
confer with the student at that time. If work habits are still unsatisfactory at
the end of the externship period, the student may be required to serve an
additional externship. A student may repeat the externship only once. If
failure of the externship occurs twice, the student will be withdrawn from
the program.

grading period will not have that course(s) recorded on his or her transcript.
A student who has been withdrawn after the first seven calendar days of a
grading period will receive a grade of "W," which is not calculated in his or
her cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The credits will count toward
attempted credits.
The Drop/Add period for each term is 7 calendar days. A student who does
not attend a course or whose last date of attendance (LDA) in a course is
within the Drop/Add period may be voluntarily or involuntarily withdrawn
from the course without academic or financial penalty. A student who does
not post any attendance in a course in the first 14 calendar days after the
start of the term will be unregistered from the course and not receive a
grade for the course.
Course Withdrawal Policy
A student withdrawing or being withdrawn from a course who has posted
attendance after the Drop/Add period but prior to the fourteenth calendar

day before the end of the term, will receive a grade of "W". Course
withdrawals for students whose LDA falls within fourteen calendar days of
the end of the term will receive either a grade of Withdrawn -Fall (WE) or
Withdrawn -Passing (WP) depending upon the student's grade for work
completed up to the last date of attendance. A grade of WE will count as a
failed attempt at the course (see Repetitions). Withdrawing from a course
may impact a student's eligibility for Financial Aid. Please speak with a
Financial Aid Representative to discuss your individual account.
Program Changes
A student who wishes to change programs may do so at any time prior to
starting classes. A student changing programs after starting classes will be
evaluated according to the school's refund policy.
Program Monitoring
Concorde makes critical comparisons between the content of its programs
and the needs and demands of business and industry by monitoring feedback
from local agencies, the program advisory committee, test results, graduates,
and employers. The instructors communicate closely with industry personnel
to keep program objectives and content current.
Dress Code
Students are preparing for careers and should develop the habit of wearing
appropriate attire. Students are required to wear the designated school
uniform in class and on externship or clinical experience unless directed
otherwise. Clinical/externship sites may require students to wear white
shoes. Students are responsible for meeting dress code requirements for
the site.
A student's personal appearance must be appropriate at all times when the
student is in school uniform. The general requirements are as follows:
• Uniforms will vary by program.
• Uniforms or scrubs must be clean, wrinkle -free and well -fitted. Pants
and dresses must be proper length.
• No outerwear is permitted in the classroom except for a lab coat or
sweater as established by school/program standards.
• Shoes must be leather or vinyl and OSHA compliant, closed -toed, closed
heel. Students must keep their shoes clean and polished.
• Underclothing is to be worn while in uniform. Undergarments must not
be visible.
• The ID badge is part of the uniform and must be visible at all times.
• College -approved lab coats may be worn over the regulation uniform.
T-shirts or turtlenecks may be worn under scrubs, but they must be
tucked in. T-shirts or turtlenecks must be removed in the lab if they
become a safety hazard.
• Jewelry may not be worn with the uniform, except for one pair of small
stud earrings, one ring (e.g., wedding and/or engagement ring, class
ring) and a watch. Dangling earrings, hoop earrings, or multiple earrings
will not be permitted. A single necklace that does not dangle may also
be worn. For safety reasons, no jewelry may be worn under protective
gloves. Jewelry used In body/tongue piercing other than the earlobe is
not acceptable. Medical Identification worn as a bracelet or necklace
is acceptable.
• Hair must be of a natural hue, neatly combed, clean, and pulled away

interwoven into the hair are to be worn. All religious head coverings
must be approved by the Academic Dean.
• Fingernails must be kept short, clean, and neatly manicured. No
polish, acrylic nails, overlays, or any synthetic enhancements to the

• Proper daily hygiene, including the use of antiperspirant and
mouthwash, is essential because students work very closely with
others. Cologne and perfume should not be worn.
• Many healthcare facilities mandate coverage of tattoos, and students
may be asked to leave a clinical or externship site if tattoos are visible.
In order to ensure we are preparing you for the work environment of
your chosen field, Concorde requires that students make a reasonable
attempt to cover all tattoos.
Failure to comply with the above expectations may result in dismissal from
the classroom, externship, and/or clinical site.
Licensure Payment Policy
Concorde is committed to preparing students with the skills and knowledge
necessary to become entry-level practitioners in their field of study. Some of
the programs offered by Concorde have employment outcomes where
passage of a professional certification, licensure or registry examination
may be required for employment or that will enhance potential employment
opportunities. Concorde will pay exam fees for graduates of these
programs based on the eligibility requirements below. Please discuss with
your Program Director which exams are relevant to employment in your
field of study and the requirements for successfully demonstrating
examination preparedness.
Eligibility is determined by the graduate's completion of the following:
• Receive approval from the Program Director, Academic Dean or
Campus President before testing.
• Take the exam within two months of graduation, or take the first
available exam opportunity for those exams offered only on a
periodic schedule.
• Meet all Concorde graduation requirements.
• Demonstrate that the student is prepared to sit for licensure by
completing a "green light" process at the campus.
If a second attempt is necessary due to first-time failure, all of the following
must be met:
• Evidence of a valid benefit to the student and college, such as meeting
or exceeding programmatic licensure pass rate standards and/or
graduate employment rate standards;
• Campus President approval;
• Proof that the graduate sat for, and completed, the first-time exam(s);
• Submission of exam scores from the student's first exam attempt;

cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to take these exams, at all or
at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.

Distance Education/Online be considered present for that week.
Concorde supports the educational needs of the busy adult learner,
delivering some courses in an online format. Online classes are not intended
as easy substitutes for learning on campus. Students will find that learning
online can be as challenging and rewarding as attending on -campus but
allows the flexibility of determining when learning is convenient. Although
time is flexible, attendance and participation is expected and monitored.
The convenience of online courses allows students to work on assignments
and participate in class discussions as their schedules permit within specified
tlmeframes. Learning is achieved through both individual inquiry and
collaboration. Each course encompasses a variety of different graded
learning activities.
Students enrolled in online classes and programs are expected to be capable
of using a computer to complete some or all of their coursework and be
familiar with accessing Internet resources. In addition, they must have access
to a reliable computer and high-speed Internet connection sufficient to
complete their coursework. Students are also welcome to utilize the
Concorde computer labs and/or the Learning Resource Center (LRC) to
complete coursework. Online courses utilize the Canvas Learning
Management System (LMS), a secure, web -based platform that employs
multimedia technologies and is accessible 24 hours per day via Internet
access. Prior to enrollment, prospective students will be required to
complete an online assessment of their readiness to successfully complete
their education in an online environment. The campus may require the
student to participate in an orientation as well as online sessions at
the campus.
To complete online courses using the Canvas Learning Management System
(LMS), students should refer to the following links to be sure they are using
appropriate computer systems. Students also must have an Internet provider
with reliable service.

Some courses may only be offered in a distance education format.
Please refer to the Admissions Representative or Academic Dean for
course schedules.
Attendance Requirements
Online education affords students great flexibility in managing their time.
However, academic success requires that students engage in learning
activities regularly and participate in meaningful interactions with faculty and
fellow students. Specific daily attendance is not required for online courses,
as it would be on a campus. Students are required, however, to log into their
class regularly and submit assignments in a timely manner, or they may risk
being withdrawn for lack of attendance.
Once a student has logged into his or her class and completed a learning
activity or assignment, he or she is considered officially enrolled in the course
and expected to complete the entire course. Failure to post attendance for
two consecutive weeks may subject the student to immediate withdrawal.
Coursework is assigned weekly. Students are expected to complete
assignments according to the course outline. (Refer to the "Make -Up Work"
policy for submitting missed coursework.) Students must show attendance
within the first three days of the course, or they are subject to withdrawal
from the course.
Learning Activities
Online students use the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to view
video content, receive and submit project work and assignments, take
assessments, quizzes and tests, communicate with instructors and
classmates, and review course progress and grades. In keeping with the
modality of online learning much of the content will be delivered either with
e-books or digital content. Successful online learning requires the student to
be an active participant in all learning activities. Learning activities will vary
by course but may Include:
• discussion thread posts
• exams, quizzes and assessments
• case studies
• group interactive assignments
• other graded assignments
All learning activities associated with a course will be clearly outlined on the
syllabus page within each Canvas course. Attendance is recorded when the
student submits any learning activity. Students must contribute weekly to
the discussion forums. Deadlines are established differently based upon the
length of each term. Concorde offers online courses and programs in four -
week and 10-week terms.
Four -Week Terms
Due dates are established according to the day of the week the term starts.
Weekly modules always begin at 12:00 a.m, CST and end at 11:59 p.m. CST.
Courses last for four weeks or 20 weekdays. This is divided into four modules
within the online course. Each module is five class days in length and does
not include weekends. Initial discussion board posts are always due on the
third class day of the weekly module. Assignments, assessments and
discussion board responses are due on the fifth or last class day of each
weekly module.
Ten -Week Terms
Courses are 10 weeks in length, and the weekly module will always start on
Monday (12:00 a.m. CST) to Sunday (11:59 p.m. CST). Initial discussion board
posts are due not later than every Wednesday (11:59 p.m. CST), and
assignments, assessments and discussion board responses are due by Sunday
(11:59 p.m. CST).
For each course, initial attendance is recorded when a student logs into his or Students who are considered officially enrolled in the course but do not fulfill
her class and completes a learning activity. Students who only view the all of the coursework required will receive a grade based on the assignments

Faculty/Student Interaction &
Academic Advising
Faculty/student interaction is critical for student success in an online
environment. Online methods of interaction include online lectures, email,
document sharing, and threaded discussions. Faculty members review and
respond to student requests within a 24-hour time period.
Ground students who have opted to take some of their General Education
courses online receive the same benefits as fully online students in regard to
faculty interaction. However, student advising during midterms and finals will
be the responsibility of the campus at which the student is enrolled.
Student Services
Students enrolled in online courses, whether they are fully online or
ground students taking select General Education courses, will be given
support and services. Ground students will be provided services directly
through their home campus. Each campus has a designated "Online
Champion" (OLC) who will be provided weekly reports for high -risk students
and can provide basic troubleshooting within the Learning Management
System (LMS). The OLC can also refer the student to the Director of Student
Affairs located on campus.
Fully online students will have student support access through the Dean of
Online Operations. The Dean will provide support to students who may be
high -risk, typically via telephone or email, and may also assist students by
involving other campus associates.
Learning Resources
Concorde Career Colleges, Inc., subscribes to multiple databases from Gale
Cengage Learning, which is available to all students through the Canvas
Learning Management System (LMS). Included in these materials are over
20,000 titles with peer -reviewed full text articles exceeding 8,000 as well as
ebooks, experiments, projects, and images. Many of the students' immediate
research questions can be met by using these online reference sources. The
user-friendly web interface has information from leading medical journals,
encyclopedias, newspapers, newsletters, and pamphlets.
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes for online coursework are the same as on -
ground coursework.
Graduation Requirements
Students taking online courses must meet the graduation requirements for
their chosen program of study.
Health Screens
Students enrolling in programs where health screens are required will be
provided with a list of required Immunizations. Students will be required to
provide proof of immunization prior to beginning clinical rotations.
Uniforms
Students enrolling in programs where uniforms are required for clinical
rotations are responsible for providing their own clothing in accordance with
the established policies of the institution where they will be completing
their clinicals.

Academic Standards
Attendance Policy
General
Regular and punctual attendance at all scheduled classes as well as clinical
and externship classes is expected of all students. When a student enrolls,
that student accepts the responsibility of attending all scheduled class hours.
Attendance is recorded and becomes part of the student's permanent record
with the school.
Concorde recognizes that unforeseen situations do occur in students' lives,
possibly resulting in a limited number of absences. Forth is reason, Concorde
allows for two levels of attendance monitoring. Excessive time missed may
cause a student to be placed on Attendance Warning or Attendance
Probation or be withdrawn from the program.
In all cases, a student will be withdrawn following 14 consecutive calendar
days of nonattendance, excluding published holidays and unscheduled
closures of the school, clinical site or externship site.
Specific courses may have additional or more strict attendance
requirements. In these situtations, the course specific requirements will be
listed in each syllabus.
Excessive Absences
Excessive time absent will prevent student from achieving course and
program outcomes. For the purposes of this policy, excessive absences are
defined as:
• Missing more than 20 percent of total scheduled time within a
grading period for programs that include externship hours.
• Missing more than 10 percent of total scheduled time within a
grading period for programs that include clinical hours.
A student will be placed on Attendance Warning at the end of the first
grading period during which he or she has excessive absences. A student will
remain on Attendance Warning until the end of the next grading period. At
the end of the next grading period, a student who did not have excessive
absences will return to good standing,
r s: � , ,:. •.,
A student will be placed on Attendance Probation at the end of a grading
period during which the student was on Attendance Warning and had
excessive absences. A student will remain on Attendance Probation until the
end of the following grading period. At the end of the next grading period, a
student who did not have excessive absences will return to good standing. A
student on Attendance Probation will be withdrawn immediately upon
having excessive absences.
Externship Courses
For programs with a required externship component, the successful
completion of 100 percent of course hours is required for graduation.
Externship is scheduled in partnership with the externship site. Students
must plan sufficiently in advance to attend every day of the scheduled
externship. In the event a student will be absent from a site, the student
must contact the site and the appropriate school official immediately upon
becoming aware of the situation, Except in cases of documented emergency,
notification of absence or tardiness must occur at least 60 minutes in
advance of the scheduled start time. If the site supervisor or school official
determines that a student is not reliable for any reason, including absences,
the student may be removed from the site and may be withdrawn from the
program
Clinical Classes
Clinical participation is vital to student success, and students are expected to
be present, on time, and prepared for every scheduled clinical experience.
If, for any reason, a student will be late or absent for a clinical shift, the
student must notify the instructor or other designated Concorde individual
immediately upon becoming aware of the situation. Except in the case of a
documented emergency, failure to notify of an absence or tardiness at least
60 minutes before a scheduled start time or arriving more than 30 minutes
late to a scheduled clinical shift may result in disciplinary actions up to and
including withdrawal from the program. Some clinical. facilities may have
additional or stricter attendance requirements for students. In this case,
students are required to follow the attendance policy in place at the clinical
facility.
Students who have any absence or absences that result In not completing the
required clinical hours, lab competencies, or required cases shall fail the
course. Clinical make-up sessions may be provided; however, the program's
ability to provide make-up hours is dependent upon scheduling and other
factors that may prohibit the availability of clinical make-up hours.
Online Courses and Programs
Students taking online courses should refer to the Distance Education/Online
section of the catalog for specific attendance requirements.
Make -Up Work
All graded work or performed competencies (letter grade or pass/fail) not
completed by the due date, or missed due to absence, including being tardy
or leaving early, will not be eligible for a grade. Students will receive
a zero (0) for missed work or an "F" for missed competencies. Instructors
may make case -by -case exceptions if a significant, documentable, and
infrequent situation caused a student to miss a submission deadline.
Instructors will ensure that all students receive equitable consideration when
granting extensions.
Marital, Parental and Military
Leave Statuses
Concorde Career Colleges, Inc., complies with all requirements outlined in 34
C.F.R. 106.40 (a) and (b) with regard to the marital or parental status of
students. Any student is eligible for leave in the care of pregnancy, childbirth,
false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, and recovery therefrom for so
long a period as deemed medically necessary by the student's physician. The

Students With Disabilities Policy
It is the policy of Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. (Campus), to abide by both
the letter and spirit of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Its
implementing regulation at 34 Code of Federal Regulations C.F.R., Part 104.
Section 504 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability In programs and
activities operated by recipients of federal financial assistance. Covered
entities must accommodate students with reasonable academic adjustments
and auxiliary aids and services that are necessary to afford an individual with
2020-2021 Garden Grove Catalog I Publication Date: November 30, 2020 1 Effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021
52
a disability an equal opportunity to participate in its programs. Concorde is
not required to make academic adjustments and/or provide auxiliary aids
and services that would result in a fundamental alteration of its programs or
impose an undue burden.
The Campus prohibits all discrimination against "qualified individuals with
disabilities" as defined in Concorde's Disabilities Policy. In addition, a
"qualified disabled person," with respect to postsecondary and vocational
education services, is one who meets the academic and technical standards
requisite to participation in the Campus's education program.
Procedures for Requesting Academic
Adjustment and/or Auxiliary Aid:
1. Current students with disabilities wishing to request academic
adjustments and/or auxiliary aids must contact the Campus President.
The Campus President is designated as the Campus Compliance
Coordinator (CCC) with respect to Section 504. A disclosure of a
disability or request for adjustments and/or aids made to a faculty or
staff member, other than the CCC, will not be treated as a request for
an academic adjustment and/or auxiliary aid. However, If a student
discloses a disability to faculty or staff, he or she is required to direct
the student to the CCC.
2. The CCC will provide the student with an academic adjustment and/or
auxiliary aid Request Form for Students With Disabilities to complete.
Academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids are available to students
who provide documentation of a disability, specifically that they have
an Impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
3. In general, the documentation referenced should be current prior to
taking entrance assessments to be accepted into a program. The
documented assessments must be completed by qualified professionals
in the area of disability. Documentation and sources used to evaluate
the need and determine appropriate adjustments or aids may include a
licensed professional's current medical diagnosis and date of diagnosis,
evaluation of how the student's disability affects one or more of the
major life activities and recommendations, psychological and/or
emotional diagnostic tests, aptitude and achievement tests with
results/reports, functional effects or limitations of the disability
(physical [imitations) and/or medications and recommendations, and
social and cultural background and adaptive behavior. The campus
reserves the right to request additional documentation as needed.
4. After the CCC or his or her designee receives the academic adjustment
and/or auxiliary aid Request Form and the required documentation, the
CCC will engage in an interactive process with the student to determine
what academic adjustment(s) and/or auxiliary aid(s) are appropriate.
This process will include primary consideration of the student's
recommendations. It is the responsibility of the student to Initiate this
process by contacting the CCC and participating in the interactive
process to Identify appropriate academic adjustments and/or auxiliary
aids. Within 10 business days, the CCC will meet with the student to
discuss the appropriate reasonable academic adjustments and/or
auxiliary aids needed. Primary consideration will be given to the
student's requested academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids. Any
academic adjustment and/or auxiliary aid denied will include a written
statement as to the basis. Whenever an academic adjustment and/or
auxiliary aid Is denied, the CCC will enter into an interactive
communication with the requestor and discuss the need for
additional documentation and/or alternate academic adjustments
and/or auxiliary aids.
If the student is denied the requested adjustment or aid, he or she may
file a grievance using the Grievance Procedure, or the student may file
a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights.
The CCC is responsible for ensuring that approved academic adjustments
and auxiliary aids are implemented in a timely manner and will be
responsible for ensuring compliance of accommodations through the
Academic Dean and Program Director. If students believe that the
academic adjustment and/or auxiliary aid is not being implemented, they
are urged to contact the CCC to discuss the matter. If not resolved,
students may file a grievance using the Grievance Procedure, or the
student may file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights.
An adjustment or aid that fundamentally alters a program of instruction,
conflicts with direct licensing requirements, or otherwise negates a
requirement essential to the program will not be approved. A student may
challenge such a determination by using the Grievance Procedure, or the
student may file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights.

Official Letter Grading Scale
Written examinations are given periodically, and, at the completion of each
course, a final exam is given. Lab exams cover both subject matter and skills
evaluation. Records of grades are maintained by the Registrar/Student
Records Manager. Unless specified differently for an individual program,
students receive letter grades at the end of each grading period (course)
using the official letter grading scale. Grades are based on assignments, tests,
and manipulative performance examinations given with each unit of
learning. At the end of each evaluation period, the student's cumulative
grade point average (CGPA) will be determined. At that time, academic
records will be made available or furnished to the student.
All missed exams and assignments must be complete by the last day of the
current term. In rare circumstances, an "I" (incomplete) grade may be issued
with the approval of the Academic Dean or the Campus President. The
student will then have seven calendar days (excluding published holidays) in
which to make up the missing work. Astudent who has a final grade of "I"
and who has not made up the work by the end of this period, will receive a
course grade calculated based on a grade of zero for the missing work. Any
action that may result from a grade calculated on this basis (such as
probation, being required to repeat the course, or withdrawal/dismissal) will
be executed immediately.
Incompletes will not be given for clinical/laboratory assignments not
completed in the final term. Failure to satisfactorily complete
clinical/laboratory assignments in the final term will result in the student
being required to repeat the term.
When the "I" is replaced with a letter grade, Satisfactory Academic Progress
will be recalculated based on the letter grade and the credits earned.
Incompletes, although a temporary grade, will be included as attempted
credits.

included in the CPGA calculation. In the case of repeated coursework, only
the most recent attempt Is counted toward the CGPA.
Rate of Progress (ROP)
Students are required to maintain a satisfactory ROP toward successful
completion of their program. ROP is defined as the credit hours completed
divided by the credit hours attempted. All periods of the student's
enrollment for the current program count when assessing progress, even
periods in which the student did not receive Federal Student Aid (FSA) funds.
Maximum Time Frame (MTF)
Students must be able to successfully complete all the required course credit
hours of their program within the Maximum Time Frame. To maintain SAP,
the credit hours attempted cannot exceed one and one-half times (1.5) or
150 percent of the credit hours required to complete a program.
Each program is broken down Into grading periods and payment periods. At
the end of each of these periods, the student's CGPA, ROP and MTF will be
evaluated. The evaluation will ensure that all aspects of Satisfactory
Academic Progress are met. A student failing to maintain the minimum
standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress will be notified of such and will
face administrative actions. These actions include being placed on Academic
Warning, Academic Probation or dismissal from the program at the end of a
grading period. In addition, a student failing to maintain Satisfactory
Academic Progress at the end of a payment period may be placed in a
Financial Aid (FA) Warning status or Financial Aid Probation status, or the
student may lose Federal Financial Aid eligibility altogether.
The outcome of SAP Evaluation is different depending on whether a student
is enrolled in a Non -Term Program or a Term Based Program,
Non -Term Programs

A student not meeting all aspects of Satisfactory Academic Progress (CGPA,
ROP and MTF) at the end of a grading period will be placed on Academic
Warning. The school will advise the student of his or her status immediately
upon completion of the SAP evaluation, and, in cooperation with campus
academic leadership, the student will be required to complete an Academic
Success Plan (ASP).
The student will remain in Academic Warning status until; a.) the student's
SAP is evaluated at the end of the upcoming grading period, Is met, and the
student is returned to good academic standing and Active status; or b.) the
student does not meet the requirements agreed to in the Academic Success
Plan created at the beginning of the grading period whereupon the student
will be notified of pending dismissal from the program. A student may
appeal pending dismissal in writing to the Academic Dean within 72 hours of
notification. (see Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals)A student who
does not file an appeal or for whom an appeal is not granted will be
academically dismissed. A student submitting a successful appeal will be
placed in Academic Probation status.
Academic Probation
A student on Academic Warning who does not meet Satisfactory Academic
Progress standards at the end of the grading period must file an appeal. If the
appeal Is approved, the student will be placed on Academic Probation. A
student on Academic Probation who fails to achieve Satisfactory Academic
Progress or who fails to meet the requirements of the Academic Success Plan
at the end of the grading period will be dismissed.

resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.

Assurances & Certifications
Selected providers will be required to sign and submit "actual" assurances and certificates as required by
the City of Santa Ana and the Workforce Development Board on all contracts.
I recognize that I must give assurances for each item below. Please initial each box indicating you have
read and are providing assurance you are or will be in compliance with the following:
ZSAWDB uses the CaIJOBs ETPL Module for accepting applications from the providers to be listed
on the ETPL. Local boards may authorize a single local board to act on their behalf in making
determinations for initial and/or subsequent eligibility of providers. Contractors must enter program(s)
of training services into CaIJOBS. The training provider should only enter the program(s) desired to
be on the CA ETPL. If the program is offered with multiple modes of delivery, or course lengths, the
program must be entered separately for each variation.
10 SAWDB has authorized the South Bay WDB to make initial and subsequent eligibility determinations
for applications submitted from providers. Contractors should contact the South Bay WDB 11539
Hawthorne Blvd., 51h Floor, Hawthorne, CA 90250, 310-970-7700.
❑� CONTRACTOR is required to be in compliance with South Bay WDB Master agreement and
SAWDB agreement.
FIn cases where South Bay WDB has denied a provider's application, provider may submit the
application to SAWDB for consideration and processing at 801 W. Civic Center Dr. 4200, Santa Ana,
CA 92701 ATTN: SAWDB Staff. The submission must include completed ETPL training program
applications and a copy of the letter from the South Bay WDB denying application.
aLocal boards may establish local policies requiring performance above the state minimum standards
for providers to be included on the ETPL.
Acceptance and processing of an application does not constitute an agreement or relationship between
the CONTRACTOR and SAWDB, nor does it guarantee any referrals to the provider by SAWDB.
Applications will be process on an ongoing basis.
ZCONTRACTOR must be in compliance with the State and Federal regulations, per Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Eligible CONTRACTOR List Policy and Procedure
WSD15-07 or it's replacement.
CONTRACTORS must also meet one of the following criteria in order to have their programs
listed on the ETPL:
1) Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education Approval to Operate, or Verification of
Exemption by BPPE.
EXHIBIT G
2) Accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities, WASC,
or the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, CSU, UC, and other
WASC accredited institutions. This accreditation can be verified at: www.aceic.org/ or
www.wasesenior.org/.
3) Postsecondary institutions eligible under Title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) and
offering programs leading toward an associate degree, baccalaureate degree, or certificate.
4) Approval by the California Department of Education.
5) Approval by the Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges (CCCCO).
❑V CONTRACTOR must reapply to be considered for subsequent approval on the ETPL and agrees to
provide the required performance and cost information data.
WICONTRACTOR must annually meet the state's minimum performance standards, however the
SAWDB may set higher levels. Public Postsecondary Community Colleges, CSUs, and UCs are
required to provide performance information for consideration of placement on the CA ETPL, but due
to heavy state oversight, investment, and the inability to capture true program outcome data, these
institution types are not required to meet a specific performance threshold to be listed on the CA ETPL.
❑✓ CONTRACTOR's BPPE accredited shall provide a copy of the provider's BPPE Annual Report (the
Performance Fact Sheet) to document their achievement of the performance criteria if applicable.
RALL Training on the ETPL must be for occupations in in -demand industry sectors identified by the
state, regional or local workforce development boards.
FAAll Training on the ETPL must provide training services that lead to an industry -recognized credential,
national or state certificate, or degree, including all industry appropriate competencies, licensing
and/or certification requirements.
ZCONTRACTOR understands that all performance data and data submitted on the ETPL must be made
available for data verification by the SAWDB or the State EDD office.
ZCONTRACTOR must maintain all the relevant records utilized to support the data submitted on ETPL
for audit or monitoring purposes by the SAWDB or the State EDD office.

II. General Procedures for Handling Non -Criminal Violations of the Act
The following procedure is promulgated to meet the requirements of Title 20, of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Section 186 through 188 of the WIOA regulations, and Section 181 of the
Act (Public Law 105.200: 29 U.S. Code Sec. 2931 et seq.) at the State and LWDA level for the
receipt, investigation, hearing, and resolution of complaints by WIOA participants, sub
6
EXHIBIT H
recipients, applicants for participation, or financial assistance, labor unions, community based
organizations, or any other persons.
These procedures provide for resolution of non -criminal complaints arising from the operation of
the Santa Ana LWDA.
A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act,
regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific
agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such participants in
employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals shall be in
writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies, procedures
or action(s) arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by each LWDA grant recipient
and sub recipient under the Act.
These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside
of the WIOA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of
any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may
wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIOA complaint. Also, these procedures do not
restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion
Procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and
resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure.
A. The following principles and rules apply to all complaints at all steps of the complaint
procedures:
1. All complaints must be made in writing within 180 days of the alleged occurrence,
except complaints alleging fraud or criminal activity.
2. All persons filing a complaint shall be free from restraint, coercion, reprisal, or
discrimination. Good faith efforts shall be made to informally resolve the complaint
prior to the scheduled hearing. Complainants have the right to withdraw their
complaints (in writing) at any time prior to the hearing. A complainant may amend
his/her complaint to correct technical deficiencies but not to add issues.
3. Complainants shall have the right to be represented at their own expense by
person(s) of their choosing at all levels of the complaint process.
4. Upon enrollment into employment or training, participants shall be provided with a
written description of these procedures, including notification of their right to file
complaints and instructions for filing.
An employer of participants, including private -for -profit employers of participants, may
use this or other complaint resolution procedures so long as the participant is
informed of the complaint resolution procedure they are to follow and the time frames
governing review of complaints are met.
EXHIBIT H
A "participant", within the meaning of these procedures, is an individual who receives
employment -training services under a program funded by Santa Ana LWDA. The
Complaint Resolution Procedures contained herein (or the alternative procedures
which an employer may use) shall be available to participants to resolve disputes
regarding items and conditions of employment of such participants in employment
training programs. However, such procedures shall not be used to resolve disputes
regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a
participant, as defined herein.
5. If a complaint does not receive a decision at the LWDA grant recipient level within 60
days of filing the complaint or receives an unsatisfactory decision, the complainant
then has a right to request a review of the complaint by the Governor.
6. Complainants must initially file and exhaust LWDA grant recipient/hearing procedures
prior to appealing to the State except where the State determines that the LWDA
grant recipient's procedures are not in compliance with the State's procedures.
III. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the LWDA Level
A. Receipt Complaints
Pursuant to the WIOA regulations found at 20 CFR, Section 683.600, the LWDA
administrative entities have the responsibility to conduct hearings and resolve complaints
made by individuals about the administration of programs in the LWDA. "LWDA level"
encompasses LWDA administrative entity and employers to which the administrative entity
has delegated the complaint resolution process. The following comprise the guidelines for
resolving issues arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by the Santa Ana
LWDA including resolutions of complaints arising from actions, such as audit disallowances
or the imposition of sanctions taken by the Governor with respect to audit findings,
investigations or monitoring reports.
1. Form and Filing of Compliant
Official filing date of the compliant is the date the written complaint is received. The filing
of the complaint with the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunity Officer shall
be considered as a request for hearing and a decision must be issued within 60 days.
The complaint must be in writing and must be signed and dated. The complaint should
also contain the following information:
a. Full name, telephone number, if any, and mailing address of the complainant;
b. Full name, telephone number, and mailing address of the agency involved (respondent);
c. Clear and concise statement of facts including dates constituting alleged violation;
d. What provisions under the Act, regulations, grant or other agreements under the Act, are
believed to have been violated;
EXHIBIT H
e. Remedy sought by the complainant; and
f. If the complainant is a private or public entity or corporation, and not a natural person,
the filing of the complaint must be duly authorized by the governing body of such entity
or corporation.
The absence of any of the requested information shall not be a basis for dismissing the
complaint.
A copy of the complaint must be sent to the respondent and both parties notified of the
opportunity for an informal resolution. At each step of the complaint process, the complainant
must be notified in writing of the next procedural step.
2. Informal Conference
Informal conferences will be utilized by the Santa Ana LWDA to resolve complaints;
however, such informal conferences shall not extend the time within which a decision
must be issued after receipt of a complaint. Attempts at informal resolution will
commence with two (2) weeks of the date of filing of the complaint.
a. The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that
appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible.
b. Although the complainant should be encouraged to attend this conference, his/her failure
to do so should not preclude his/her right to request a hearing on the matter.
c. If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWDA concurs, the EEO
Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter
shall then be considered closed.
d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information
and assistance to request a hearing if he/she so desires.
3. Request for Hearing
As in the case of the complaint, the request for a hearing should be put in writing and
be filed in person or by mail. A governing board resolution of authorization to appeal
should also be submitted when appropriate. The request should be filled with:
Jennifer Sommers
Sr. Personnel Analyst — EEO Officer
20 Civic Center Drive, M-24
Santa Ana, CA 92701
(714) 647-5348
EXHIBIT H
b. A hearing will be scheduled by the EEO Officer within thirty (30) days of the date of
filing of the complaint.
4. Notice of Hearing
Upon receipt of the request for hearing, the complainant and the respondent will be
notified in writing of the hearing ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing.
The ten-day notice may be shortened with the written consent of the parties. A decision
will be issued by the Santa Ana LWDA within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the
complaint.
The hearing notice shall be in writing and contain the following information:
a. The date of notice, name of the complainant, and the name of the party against whom
the complaint is filed.
b. The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer.
c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s)
d. Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address,
and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO)
Officer who can answer inquiries.
B. Conduct of Hearing
The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not
applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to
enable adjustment to the circumstances presented.
1. The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make
decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and
thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWDA or its sub recipients. The
hearing officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer.
2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and
impartial hearing.
The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity
should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain
the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved
understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the
specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to
give some assurance of veracity to the hearing.
id
EXHIBIT H
4. The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the
circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof.
Generally, the party making the complaint has the obligation of establishing his or her
case and should be examined first.
5. The party involved should have the right to be represented (at their own expense) if
he/she so desires. Other he/she is limited to his/her own abilities and those to the
hearing officer in obtaining testimony in the case.
6. It is important that the hearing officer obtain the fullest information for the record. If the
parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent
questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing
officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited.
7. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in
obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an
issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon
reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial
evidence.
8. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior
to the conclusion of the hearing.
9. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a
recommended decision to the LWDA for final determination. The recommended decision
shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the Santa Ana
Workforce Development Board.
C. Issuance of Decision
Within sixty (60) calendar days of filing of the complaint, the Santa Ana LWDA shall issue a
written decision to all parties by first class mail. The final decision shall contain the following
information:
1. The name of the parties involved.
2. A statement of the alleged violation and issues related to the alleged violation.
3. A statement of the facts.
4. The decision and the reasons for the decision.
5. A statement of corrective action, if any, to be taken.
6. Notice of the right to request, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the decision, a
review of the decision by the State Review Panel.
11
EXHIBIT H
D. Record of Hearing
An administrative file containing support documents on the complaint resolution process
hearing conducted will be retained by the Santa Ana LWDA. The purpose of a record is to
serve as substantiation of the process followed by the Santa Ana LWDA on the resolution of
the issues and the results. This information would then be available for subsequent review
in the event the matter is raised with the State. Such records must be retained for a three-
year period after the grant has been officially closed out.
The Santa Ana LWDA's written decision will be included in the record. Evidence received at
the hearing, notes by the hearing officer, stenographer's notes and tape recordings may
also be used.
E. Establishment of Complaint Procedures
In accordance with Section 683.600, each employing agency including private -for -profit
employers of participants under the Act is required to establish a complaint procedure for
resolving matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Employers may
operate their own grievance system or may utilize the Santa Ana LWIDA's established
procedures under Section 683.600. At a minimum these procedures must include:
Written notice, upon enrollment into employment training services, of the scope and
availability of such procedures. Employer's grievance procedures shall be set forth in a
written document and must meet the regulation mandate that a complaint will be
resolved with sixty (60) days from the date the complaint was filed. A copy of employer's
grievance procedure shall be provided to each participant upon enrollment in
employment training.
2. Written notice, at the time the grievance is filed, of the procedures under which the
grievance will be processed.
3. Written notification of the disposition of the grievance and a written decision shall be
issued within thirty (30) days of the filing of the grievance unless a present and long
established grievance specifically provides other limits; and
4. Written notification of the participant's right to request a review of the employer's
decision by the Santa Ana LWDA and the State Review Panel in accordance with
Section 683.600.

the Governor to establish a State Review process of complaints filed at the LWDA grant
recipient level and of complaints initially filed at the State level.
Appeals of decisions issued at the LWDA level including audit disallowances and sanctions

therein.
Complaints which may be initially filed at the State level will be heard by an independent
hearing officer designated by the State Workforce Investment Division (WID). The hearing
officer shall conduct a hearing and issue a recommended decision to the State Panel. The
