ADMISSIONS
Requirements and Procedures
For admission to Eastwick College Nutley, applicants interview and tour the facility with an admissions representative,
certify that graduation from high school or a recognized equivalency certificate (GED) was accomplished, complete an
application for admission, and successfully complete the admissions examination.
Once an applicant has completed all application documents, the school reviews the information and informs the
applicant of its decision. The school follows an open enrollment system and individuals may apply up to one year in
advance of a scheduled class start. The following items must be completed at the time of application:

Enrollment agreement (if applicant is under 18 years of age it must be signed by parent or guardian);

Financial aid forms (if applicant wishes to apply for financial aid) and payment of application/registration fee.

Proof of high school graduation or GED equivalency.
The school reserves the right to reject students if the items listed above are not successfully completed.
Health Requirements and Criminal Background Checks
Students in the AAS in Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography (AAS-DxCV) program are responsible for meeting all
health requirements, including physical health forms and immunization records. Drug screenings and background
checks may be required before beginning externship. Prior conviction of a felony or certain misdemeanors will make a
student ineligible to participate in clinical experiences and affect his or her job placement. If a student is convicted of a
felony or misdemeanor during the time he or she is enrolled in the AAS-DxCV program, it is the student’s
responsibility to notify the head of vascular sonography.
Students with Disabilities
All students requesting accommodations due to disabilities must register with their state’s Department of Vocational
Rehabilitation (DVR). The evaluation completed by DVR must be presented to the campus director to determine what
reasonable accommodations can be offered.
New Student Orientation
Orientation for new students is held prior to the beginning of each module. A presentation and review of school
regulations is given by school officials. Class schedules are distributed. Orientation provides new students the
opportunity to become familiar with the campus and to meet informally with their teachers and other new students.
The school reserves the right to revise class schedules, redistribute groups, cancel courses and make enhancements to
the curriculum at any time.
Class Schedule
Eastwick College Nutley’s classes meet Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., and Fridays, 8:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Classes may also be offered on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clinical and laboratory experiences
may have earlier starting times and may also be offered on Sundays. The school year is divided into 6-week terms for
day school and eight-week terms for evening school.
Office Hours
Administrative offices are open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Fridays 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Students are training for professional occupations and are expected to dress in a neat and professional manner.
Unacceptable attire includes clothing with offensive language, halters, sleeveless shirts, short shorts or other types of
revealing or suggestive clothing. Medical students must dress in compliance with OSHA regulations to attend
laboratory activities. Students attending externships must meet the dress code requirements of the clinical sites.

Unit of Credit
The college uses the quarter credit unit of measurement, as defined by the Accrediting Council for Independent
Colleges and Schools:
Unit
Quarter Credit
Lecture
10
Minimum Contact Hours Required
Laboratory
20
Clinical Experience/Externship
30
A contact hour consists of a minimum of 60 consecutive minutes of which a minimum of 50 minutes is dedicated to
instruction. Certain courses comprise a combination of lecture, laboratory and/or clinical experience/externship and
will be awarded credits reflecting that combined composition.
Some required courses that support the objectives of the curriculum are not awarded credit. These courses are
identified in the program outlines and course descriptions sections of the catalog.
For externship courses, Eastwick College awards one quarter credit for every 80 hours of documented attendance
(subject to achieving all learning objectives) at the affiliated externship site.
Financial Aid Credit
To determine student eligibility for Federal Title IV, HEA financial aid purposes, the school uses the following
definition:
One financial credit = 25 clock hours
Clock hours include institutional clock hours (the sum of lecture, laboratory, and clinical experience/
externship clock hours) and out-of-class clock hours (a minimum of 25% of the course’s institutional clock hours)
For specific information on out-of class clock hours, please consult the course descriptions section of this catalog.
Transfer Credit
Previous training is recognized. The dean of academics processes transfer credits according to the following procedures
and regulations:
Administrative Procedure
The prospective student requests an official transcript, which must be mailed by the institution directly to the college.
Once received, the admissions representative submits it along with a completed transfer credit request form to the dean
of academics.
The dean of academics returns the transfer credit request form with an official response. The prospective student
receives a copy of the document. If transfer credit is approved, the student does not need to attend the course(s)
specified in the form.
General Guidelines for Approval of Transfer Credits
1.
An official transcript is always required.
2.
The course(s) must have been taken at an institution of higher education accredited by an agency recognized by the
United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
3.
Courses taken abroad may be considered when the foreign institution’s accreditation is similar to that of the
American institution described above; in this case, Eastwick College Nutley requires a credential evaluation and a
course-by-course analysis conducted by an organization affiliated with the National Association of Credential
Evaluation Services (NACES) or the Association of International Credential Evaluators (AICE).
4.
Course(s) must be similar in content, contact hours, and credit calculation, with an earned grade of “C” or better.
5.
There is a time limit of ten years for academic courses and five years for skill courses (e.g. computer software,
clinical laboratory, etc.)
8
a.
Academic courses taken outside the time limit of ten years may be accepted for business writing and math
courses that are similar in content, contact hours, and credit calculation with an earned grade of “C” or better.
b.
Academic courses that meet all other general guidelines for approval of transfer credits but were taken outside
the time limit of ten years may be accepted if the prospective student provides proof of current employment in
a field directly related to the subject. Employment verification is required.
c.
Skill courses that meet all other general guidelines for approval of transfer credits but were taken outside the
time limit of five years may be accepted if the prospective student provides proof of current
certification/registry in the subject and current employment in a field directly related to the subject.
Employment or certification verification is required.
6.
Credit for transferable courses through CLEP (College Level Examination Program) testing may be considered,
when the CLEP transcript is received within the time frame specified for transfer credits.
7.
Students transferring credit must take at least 25% of the credits in the program.
Program Transfers and Transfer Credits
Students who wish to transfer to a different program within the school must submit a request in writing to the dean of
academics. Only successfully completed courses will be considered for transfer into the new program. The school will
add a surcharge fee of $350 to the student’s account for each occurrence of a program transfer or return to school from
a withdrawal.
ACE CREDIT Service
The American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT) has evaluated and
recommended college credit for 79 of Eastwick College Nutley’s courses (evaluated when the school operated as
HoHoKus RETS-Nutley). The American Council on Education, the major coordinating body for all the nation's higher
education institutions, seeks to provide leadership and a unifying voice on key higher education issues and to influence
public policy through advocacy, research, and program initiatives.
For more than 30 years, colleges and universities have trusted ACE CREDIT to provide reliable course equivalency
information to facilitate their decisions to award academic credit.
For more information, visit the ACE CREDIT website at http://www.acenet.edu/acecredit.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Financial Aid
Students may be awarded financial assistance, if eligible, based on the number of financial aid credit units they will
earn. For certain educational programs, the U.S. Department of Education requires that students earn one financial
aid credit unit for each 25 contact hours of instruction. Students should contact the Financial Aid Department for
information regarding their program of study.
Tuition and Fees
The enrollment agreement obligates the student and the school for the entire program of instruction. Students’
financial obligations will be calculated in accordance with the refund policy in the contract and this school catalog.
The content and schedule for the programs and academic terms are described in this catalog. See the catalog
addendum for tuition and fees.
Administrative Withdrawal
Students who fail to meet their financial obligations with the school will be subject to administrative withdrawal and
lose eligibility for financial aid. Students may request reinstatement by appealing in writing to the school director.
Students who fail to notify the school about their intent to withdraw due to personal circumstances beyond their
control will also be subject to administrative withdrawal. The school will use the student’s last date of attendance as
the official withdrawal date for all financial calculations.

Financing Your Education
The cost of tuition does not include the cost of transportation to and from school.
1.
Eastwick College Payment Plan:
accepted.

2.
Federal Pell Grant: Based on need, the Federal Pell Grant provides free money for education. Grants for the 2013
- 2014 Aid Year range from $574 - $5,645 per academic year 1. To apply for Title IV aid, a student must complete
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application must be completed with extreme care and
accuracy. Once processed, the application will produce an Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The funds
available to the student will depend on the EFC and the cost of attendance. Students must not have previously
earned a bachelor degree.
3.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): Students who are eligible for Federal Pell
Grants may qualify for this program. FSEOG Grants are based on the funds available and do not have to be
repaid. Need is determined by the financial resources of the student and parents, and the cost of attending the
school.
4.
Subsidized Stafford Loan: If you qualify, you may borrow $3,500 per academic year, $2,800 per program that is
3/4 of an academic year or $3,250 per program that is 1/4 of an academic year1. (A small insurance and
origination fee is deducted.) No payment is required while attending school. After leaving school, there is a sixmonth grace period before loan repayment and interest charges begin. Rates are set by the Department of
Education each July 1 for the coming year. Loan repayment is a minimum of $50 per month.
5.
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan: If qualified, an independent student may borrow up to $6,000 per academic year,
$4,800 per program that is 3/4 of an academic year, or up to $6,000 per program that is 1/4 of an academic year1.
(A small insurance and origination fee is deducted.) Interest is charged on this loan while the student is in school,
but it can be capitalized. Interest charges and principal repayment may be deferred until six months after leaving
school. Loan repayment is a minimum of $50 per month.
6.
Parental Loan (PLUS): If qualified, a parent may borrow up to the full cost of the program. (A small insurance
and origination fee is deducted.) The interest rate for this loan is established by the Department of Education every

7.
NJCLASS: This is a supplemental, credit-based loan program available to eligible students to assist with
postsecondary education expenses. If qualified, Eastwick College Nutley students may borrow up to the full cost of
the program (less their financial aid received). Rates vary depending on credit history; a supplemental fee is
deducted.
8.
Eastwick Scholarship Fund: Eastwick College Nutley does not charge placement fees. As a result, we receive
many generous contributions to our scholarship fund from the corporate and medical community. Scholarships
vary from $750 to $4,000 (total dollar amount awarded depends on contributions). The program is open to high
school seniors graduating in June and starting Eastwick College Nutley programs as full-time students in the
summer module of the same calendar year (late July or early August—consult academic calendar in catalog
addendum). A score of 125 or higher on the Accuplacer exam is required. The total amount awarded may not
exceed actual tuition charges. Applicants must complete a qualification form, interview with an admissions
representative and complete the Accuplacer examination earlier than the program start date. Eastwick College
Nutley scholarships are not transferable.

Evaluation of Academic Achievement through Out-of-Class Learning Activities
Students are expected to participate in learning activities beyond scheduled course hours. These activities are
fundamental to achieve course learning outcomes, as they complement and reinforce in-class activities while providing
the student with an opportunity to assess his or her learning and provide timely feedback to the instructor.
Out-of-class learning activities vary depending on the characteristics of the course and may include:

Additional laboratory practice (including computer-based activities)

Completing unfinished work

Homework assignments

Preparing for exams

Preparing presentations

Reading assignments

Researching

Review of class notes

Writing papers
Instructors inform students about out-of-class activities specific to their courses through the course syllabus. Some
activities (homework, papers, presentations and completion of unfinished work) may receive a grade that is weighed in
the overall course assessment. Other activities (additional laboratory practice, reading assignments, review of class
notes, preparing for exams, and researching) are not directly graded but are fundamental for the student to successfully
complete laboratory check-offs, clinical evaluations, quizzes, unit tests and final exams.
Graduation Requirements
To be eligible for graduation, students must:

Pass all courses in the prescribed curriculum, within the time frame allowed by current regulations;
11

Obtain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0;

Complete all career planning and placement assistance requirements; and

Pay all monies due to the school.
Attendance Requirements
Regular attendance and punctuality will help students develop good habits necessary for successful careers.
Satisfactory student attendance is established when students are present in the assigned classroom for the scheduled
contact time. Eastwick College Nutley does not permit students to make up absences that accrue on their attendance
record. Students are encouraged to schedule outside appointments after school hours and should notify the school if
they plan to be absent. Individual instructors may set specific attendance standards for their courses.
Leave of Absence
If it is necessary that a student interrupt training for more than ten days, a leave of absence must be requested in writing
and, if approved, will be granted by the academic department. Students may request official leaves of absence subject to
the following U.S. Department of Education limitations:
1.
A single leave of absence may be granted for up to 180 days in a twelve-month period.
2.
A second leave of absence in the same twelve-month period may be granted, providing the second leave does not
exceed 30 days; the leave is due to unexpected circumstances; and the combined number of days in both leaves
does not exceed 180.
3.
Additional leaves in the same twelve month period may be granted providing the additional leaves are for
documented jury duty, military leave, or Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provisions and all the leaves
combined do not exceed 180 days.
4.
The twelve-month period referenced in these provisions starts on the first day of the first leave.
5.
A leave of absence does not relieve the student from his or her financial obligations. The full cost of tuition will be
charged if the student takes a leave of absence on or after the midpoint of the academic term.
A student’s request for a leave of absence must be submitted in writing within two weeks of the term start date;
otherwise, the student will be withdrawn from the program. Students will not incur additional charges from the
institution for any absences during an official leave of absence period. Students who fail to return to school as
scheduled from an official leave of absence will be considered withdrawn as of the start of the leave of absence. This
policy may affect any grace periods relative to federal student loan repayments. The effect of a leave of absence on
satisfactory academic progress is described in the following section.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICIES
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) to remain eligible to graduate from Eastwick College
Nutley programs and receive financial assistance. SAP is determined by measuring two components: cumulative
grade point average (CGPA) and percentage successfully completed. Policy component definitions are included below.
Sample schedules are included in Table 3.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard
All students must maintain a minimum 2.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and have completed at least
67% of the credits attempted in the program.
Frequency of Assessment
SAP is determined at the end of each financial term (comprised of two academic modules).
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) indicates the overall achievement of the student for all subjects
completed. It is computed by dividing the sum of all applicable grade points earned by the total number of credits
attempted. See Table 2 for an example of CGPA calculation.
12
Percentage Successfully Completed
A student must successfully complete 67% of all credits attempted in a program to be considered to be maintaining
satisfactory academic progress. The percentage is calculated by dividing the sum of credits successfully completed by
the sum of credits attempted. Credits successfully completed are those for which the student earned a passing grade (D
or better, including P for pass/fail courses). Credits attempted are those for which students are enrolled at the
beginning of the academic module. Grades of I (Incomplete), F (failure) W (withdrawal), and RPT (repeated course)
are counted as credits attempted but not successfully completed. See Table 2 for an example of percentage successfully
completed calculation.

Maximum Time in Which to Complete
The maximum time for completion of the program is limited to one of the following: a period equal to 1.5 times the standard
program length for normally progressing students of the same enrollment status, or a period of time during which a student
attempts 1.5 times the number of credit hours required in order to complete the program. For purposes of this standard, credit
hours attempted shall mean any such hours for which a student has incurred a financial obligation.
Program Transfers, Consecutive Programs, and Transfer Credits
When a student transfers to another program within the school, the maximum time frame will be calculated based on
the number of credits that the student must complete in order to meet the graduation requirements of the new program
after transferring applicable credits, while considering the availability of required courses and scheduling of appropriate
academic loads per module. The same policy applies for students who wish to start a new program immediately after
successfully completing a previous one. Transfer credits will be considered successfully completed and will not be
included in CGPA calculations.
Leave of Absence
Students who need to be absent from the college for an extended period of time may request a leave of absence from
the institution. A leave of absence taken over an entire academic term has no effect upon satisfactory progress. A leave
of absence that begins during an academic term affects the measurement of progress toward completion as the student
will have to be withdrawn from all courses and receive a WD or WF grade for each course. These courses will be
counted as attempted but not successfully completed.
Incomplete and Failing Grades, Repeated Courses
If an incomplete is given, the missing work must be made up within one week. Once work is made up, the instructor
will submit a change of grade form, and the assigned grade will be recorded on the student’s transcript. If the work is
not made up and a change of grade form is not submitted, an F will be recorded on the student’s transcript.
If a student fails a course, the course credits are not earned, and the course must be retaken. Students may also repeat
courses in which a grade of D, D+, or C was earned. When the course is successfully retaken, the new record will
show the passing grade, which will count toward completion of the program. The previous grade will be replaced by
RPT, which has no effect in the calculation of the student’s CGPA. However, the original course credits remain as
credits attempted for financial purposes. Courses may only be repeated once. Students who wish to attempt additional
retakes may request them through the appeal process.
Students who withdraw from an academic module will receive a W grade for all academic module courses, which has
no effect on GPA calculation. Course credits will be considered attempted but not successfully completed. Students
withdrawing after the midpoint of the academic module must accept an F grade for all corresponding courses.

Academic Warning/Financial Aid Warning
Students who do not meet the Standard of Satisfactory Progress at the end of a financial term will be placed on
academic warning (financial aid warning for students receiving financial aid) for the next financial term. Students
remain eligible for financial aid assistance during the financial aid warning period.
SAP will be determined at the end of the academic warning/financial aid warning term. Table 4 describes possible
outcomes.

The appeal is granted; the student is on academic
probation for the following financial term and
retains financial aid eligibility.
Outcome B
The appeal is denied; the student loses financial aid
eligibility and must continue on academic
probation as a cash student or withdraw from the
school.
* The appeal must be submitted in writing to the Appeals Committee, including the circumstances that caused the student’s unsatisfactory
progress and what has changed in the student’s situation that would result in the improvement of his or her academic situation.
Academic Probation
This is a temporary status for cash students who did not meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standard at the
end of the academic warning term, or financial aid recipients who did not meet the SAP standard at the end of the
financial aid warning term and are granted an appeal. The academic probation period lasts a full financial term.
SAP will be determined at the end of the academic probation term. Table 5 describes possible outcomes.

As a condition of their probation, students must participate in counseling sessions as deemed necessary by the dean of
academics. Students may also be directed to participate in extra tutorial sessions.
Academic Withdrawal
A student will be subject to academic withdrawal from Eastwick College Nutley due to failure to achieve Satisfactory
Academic Progress at the end of an academic probation module.
Withdrawal Interview
Students who want to discontinue their training for any reason are required to schedule a meeting with a school
official. The purpose of the meeting is to help students, faculty, and administration identify the causes and, whenever
possible, discuss a plan to help the student succeed.
18
Reinstatement Policy
Students who have been withdrawn for failing to maintain satisfactory academic progress may appeal in writing to the
Appeals Committee. If the appeal is granted, the student will be reinstated at the start of the next academic module.
During the reinstatement module, the student will not be eligible for financial aid and will be considered on academic
probation. If the student achieves Satisfactory Academic Progress, he or she will regain eligibility for financial aid
during subsequent modules.
Academic Dismissal
Students who have been readmitted following academic withdrawal and fail to meet the requirements of academic
probation will receive an academic dismissal from Eastwick College Nutley. Students who have been dismissed are not
eligible for readmittance to the school.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Eastwick College Nutley expects students to conduct themselves at all times in an acceptable manner. The forms of
misconduct listed below are considered to be in conflict with the educational objectives of the school and may be
reasons for disciplinary action.
1.
All types of dishonesty including: cheating, plagiarism, knowingly furnishing false information to the institution,
and forgery.
2.
Intentional disruption or obstruction of teaching, administration, disciplinary proceedings, meetings and programs,
or other school activities.
3.
Physical or verbal abuse of any person on school premises or at functions sponsored or supervised by the school.
4.

7.
Failure to observe dress code guidelines.
8.
Violation of the law on school premises. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of alcoholic beverages and/or
controlled dangerous substances (or being under their influence) on school premises.
The dean of academics will decide on one of the following disciplinary actions depending on the severity of the
violation.
Disciplinary Probation
This action will be in effect for the remainder of the academic module during which the violation to the code of
conduct occurred and the following academic module. If there are no further violations to the code of conduct during
this period, the student will be removed from disciplinary probation.
Disciplinary Withdrawal
This action is effective at the time that the violation to the code of conduct occurred. The student may write an appeal
to the Appeals Committee within 30 days. If the appeal is granted, the student will be reinstated on disciplinary
probation at the start of the following academic module.
Disciplinary Dismissal
Students who have been granted readmittance after appealing a disciplinary withdrawal and violate the code of
conduct during their disciplinary probation period will be dismissed from the institution. Students who have received
disciplinary dismissal are not eligible for readmittance to Eastwick College Nutley.
Student Appeal Process
Students subject to academic or disciplinary withdrawals may request reinstatement by appealing in writing to the
Appeals Committee within 30 days of the decision. Students who are granted readmittance will be placed on academic
or disciplinary probation, depending on withdrawal type.
Students who have received administrative withdrawals may appeal in writing within 30 days to the school director.
Denials of all types of appeals are final decisions not subject to further appeals.
19
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Eastwick College has an “open-door policy” for students seeking help or guidance with academic or personal matters.
A student with a problem relating to school or a particular class is asked to discuss it first with the instructor, then with
the program director, and then with the dean of academics.

college matters. If the problem is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student, then any disputes or controversies shall
be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association through an arbitrator agreed upon by both parties, with both parties sharing the cost of arbitration and
taking responsibility for their own attorney fees. Although letters of complaint may be sent to the organizations listed
on the next page, they do not constitute appeals of the president’s decision.

POLICY AND PROGRAM CHANGES
This catalog is current as of the time of printing. Eastwick College Nutley reserves the right to make necessary changes
in organizational structure, policy, procedures, curriculum, equipment, and materials. Students are expected to be
familiar with the information presented in this catalog.
Cancellation Policy
The enrollment agreement constitutes a contract only when the student and a school official have signed it. The school
will refund all monies when it does not accept an enrollment agreement. Students have the right to cancel the
enrollment agreement at any time by giving written notice of cancellation, which can be delivered by mail to the school
address, e-mail to [email protected], or in person to the school director.
The written notice must state that the student no longer wishes to be bound by the enrollment agreement. When
mailed to the school address, it will be effective as of the postmarked date. The school will refund monies according to
the following schedule:
If cancellation occurs
The school will
Within three calendar days of executing the enrollment
agreement and before the start of classes
Refund all monies paid
More than three calendar days after executing the enrollment
agreement and before the start of classes
Retain the application/registration fee and refund other monies
paid
After the program starts and before midnight of the fifth business
day following the first scheduled class session
Retain the application/registration fee and refund the difference
between all other monies paid and the charge for books and
materials not returned in new condition
20
Refund Policy
Eastwick College Nutley participates in the U.S. Department of Education's student aid programs and is required to
comply with the Higher Education Amendments of 1992/1998. This legislation requires the school to offer students the
most beneficial refund policy. A refund is the difference between the amount the student paid to the school (including
financial aid) and the amount the school can retain as prescribed by the appropriate refund policy. Refund calculations
are based on one of the following policies: 1) The federal pro rata calculation defined by the Higher Education
Amendments of 1992 (The student must be attending the school for the first time and may not have completed more than
60 percent of their his/her enrollment period); 2) If applicable, the refund requirements specified by the New Jersey
Department of Education and the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
Any monies due applicants or students will be refunded within 45 days of cancellation, failure to appear on or before
the first day of class, withdrawal, or termination. If a student has financed all or part of the program with a third-party
or government fund, refunds will be paid or credited to the student’s account. Refunded amounts are considered
unearned financial aid and must be returned to the appropriate financial aid program. Refund computations will be
based on the last date of attendance. If a student does not return following a leave of absence (not to exceed 180
calendar days) on the date indicated in the written request, refunds will be made within 45 days from the end of the
leave of absence. In cases of prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it
impractical to complete the program, students will make a settlement that is reasonable and fair to both parties.
Refunds to students eligible to receive benefits under the G.I. Bill will be computed in accordance with the applicable
Veterans Administration refund provision. If students withdraw from school, and adjustment in the amount they owe
may be made, subject to the refund policy of the school. If they received financial aid in excess of what they are

academic credit. For more information, visit the ACE CREDIT Transcript Service website at
https://www.acenet.edu/transcripts.
STUDENT AWARDS
The education department presents awards for outstanding achievement to deserving students, based on performance
and faculty recommendations. Graduates find these awards can be an asset when they seek future employment. The
dean of academics can provide specific information on the types of awards presented.
CONSUMER INFORMATION
Eastwick College Nutley publishes a student guide annually. It contains consumer information and disclosures
including, but not limited to, the school’s completion and placement rates, as well as campus crime and security
statistics.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The school may offer activities that encourage school spirit and develop student leadership throughout the year. The
school believes that participation in these activities is an important part of the educational process, and encourages
student involvement.
DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION
The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-226) requires institutions receiving federal
financial assistance to implement and enforce drug prevention programs and policies.
As a matter of policy, Eastwick College Nutley prohibits the manufacture and unlawful possession, use, or distribution
of illicit drugs by students and employees on its property and at any school activity. The same policy applies for
alcoholic beverages with the exception of certain social events, only when authorized by the school president. Any
violation of this policy will result in appropriate disciplinary action up to and including disciplinary withdrawal in the
case of student and termination in the case of employees, even for a first offense. When it is apparent that a violation of
the law has occurred, the appropriate law enforcement authorities must be notified.
In certain cases, students or employees may be referred to counseling sources and/or substance abuse help centers. If
such a referral is made, continued enrollment or employment will be subject to successful completion of any prescribed
counseling or treatment program. For additional information, contact the dean of academics.
STUDENT RECORDS
An academic transcript and a financial record are kept for each student. The academic transcript provides a complete
22
history of course grades. The financial record chronicles a student’s tuition charges, payments, refunds, and financial
transactions. Students receive grades on an official report card at the completion of each academic module. The registrar
may place a hold on academic records of students who are not in good financial standing with the school.
Under the authority of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, the school has established a
policy for the release of student and/or graduate information.
All students attending this postsecondary institution, parents of minor students and parents of tax-dependent students
shall have the right to inspect, review and challenge their academic records, including grades, attendance, advising and
any additional information contained in their education record or that of their minor or tax-dependent child. Students
are not entitled to inspect financial records of their parents.
As a postsecondary educational institution, parental access to students' records will be allowed without prior consent if
the students are dependents as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. Education records are
defined as files, materials or documents that contain information directly related to students and are maintained by the
institution. The dean of academics supervises records and school officials for purposes of recording grades, attendance
and advising.
Students may request a review of their records by writing to the dean of academics at the address in this catalog. The
review will be allowed during regular school hours under appropriate supervision. Students may also obtain copies of
their records. Students may challenge the record for purposes of correcting or deleting any of the contents. The request
for changes must be made in writing, clearly stating the reason for the requested changes. Grades and course
evaluations can be challenged only on the grounds that they are improperly recorded. The instructor and/or advisor
involved will review the challenge and if necessary meet with the student, then determine whether to retain, change or
delete the disputed data. If a student requests a further review, the dean of academics will conduct a hearing, giving the
student a fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the disputed issues. The student shall be notified of the dean
of academics’ decision, which will be final. Copies of challenges and/or written explanations will be included as part
of the students' permanent record.
It is school policy that no personal or academic information will be released without the student’s written consent,
except for accrediting organizations, as well as federal and state agencies authorized by law.
DISCLAIMER
Eastwick College Nutley does not carry insurance on students’ personal belongings, including vehicles, and is not
responsible for loss or damage from any cause. Students should arrange for adequate coverage on personal and
automotive policies.
