Resolution of Student Complaints

A process exists that enables students who are

unhappy with some aspects of their UMT experienceto voice their complaints and initiate actions that willpermit these complaints to be addressed by theuniversity. The complaints may have origins in anynumber of sources, including problems with courseinstruction, unhappiness about grading, perceptionsof discrimination, conflict with fellow students, andstrife with university faculty or administrators.Throughout the complaint resolution process, allproceedings will be handled with the utmostconfidentiality.

The complaint process occurs at two levels. Anattempt will be made to resolve the complaint

amicably in an informal fashion by the followingsteps:

Step 1. The student articulates his/her complaintto the Dean of Academic Affairs either in writingor in a face-to-face meeting.

Step 2. The Dean brings together the conflictingparties, enabling the complainant and theindividual(s) against whom the complaint isdirected to present their different perspectives.

Step 3. The Dean takes on the role of arbiter to

help the parties resolve the complaint amicably.

If the first level of dispute resolution does not work,or if the complaint is very serious, then it will beprocessed through a more formal procedure:

Step 1. The complaining student will be asked tosubmit his/her complaint to the Dean in writing.

Step 2. The Dean will forward the writtencomplaint to the President, including a statementof his/her perception of the facts and their implications.

Step 3. The complainant will be asked to meetwith the Dean (together with the President) tospecify his/her charges. Targets of the complaintwill also be brought before the Dean (together with the President) to answer the charges.

Step 4. After conferring with the President, theDean will deliberate and make a final decisionon how the complaint should be resolved

Every precaution will be made to assure that thepeople charged with resolving complaints operate ina fair and impartial fashion. For example, conflict of interest situations will be avoided.

Students will be apprised that if they are unhappywith the results of the grievance process, or if theybelieve they have been treated unfairly, they cancontact the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, James Monroe Building, 101 North 14thStreet, Richmond, VA 23219, Tel. (804) 225-2632,or/and Distance Education and Training Council at1601 18th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20009, Tel(202) 234-5100.

Students have a measure of protection from facultyretribution through the Faculty Handbook , whichrequires faculty to deal with students in a fair manner.

Faculty have a responsibility to deal with studentcomplaints fairly. They are expressly prohibited fromintimidating students with threats of reprisal. If students believe they are being treated unfairlyowing to the initiation of a complaint, they shouldreport their concern to the Academic Dean, who willdeal with the matter according to the Faculty Handbook .

If students believe they are suffering retribution fromnon-faculty (e.g., other students, administrators),they should report their concern to the AcademicDean. Retribution from non-faculty university

employees can result in their dismissal, according toSection 402 of the Employee Handbook . Retributionfrom fellow students will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The preferred approach is to bring thecharges of retribution to the Student Council, whichwill be responsible for resolving the issue.

Federal Student Ai d Policy • Rules • Regulations

UMT has been approved by the U.S. Department of Education to provide Federal Student Aid (FSA, TitleIV) to qualified students to finance their education.

FSA students are required to enroll in courses on aterm base. The dates of the terms can be found inthe Academic Calendar section of the catalog.

The policies governing FSA program are describedbelow:

Satisfactory Academ ic Pro gres s ( SAP)

Receipt of Federal Student Aid (FSA) requiresstudents to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress(SAP) toward earning their degrees. Students whodo not achieve satisfactory progress in their degreeprograms may lose FSA support.

Students using FSA funding will receive a SAPreport for each enrollment term prior to the beginningnext enrollment term. UMT employs two criteria tomeasure SAP:

Cumulative grade point average (CGPA), whichassesses the quality of the student’s study

efforts; Credit hour completion, which assesses the

extent to which students are completing their work quantitatively.

Following are descriptions of each of these criteria:

Cumul at i ve Grade Poi nt Average (CGPA)

In order to successfully complete an undergraduatedegree program, students must achieve a minimumcumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0. Atthe graduate level, degree conferral is contingent on

a minimum CGPA is 3.0. Students are also requiredto meet or exceed the CGPA threshold establishedby UMT for different stages of their progress towarda degree, in accordance with the table below.

CreditsCompleted(excluding

transfer credits)

ThresholdCGPA

Undergraduates 9 1.33

18 1.67≥30 2.0

Graduates 6 2.3312 2.67≥18 3.00

CGPA is computed only for credits taken at UMTand it does not include transfer credits.

Credi t Hour Completi on

1. Enrollment Term Credit Hour Completion

To maintain SAP, students must complete 67percent of their UMT enrollments per enrollmentterm.

For students receiving Federal Student Aid (FSA), acourse will be treated as completed if it receives anofficial letter grade of A through F. A course will betreated as attempted, but not completed, if itreceives a grade of W (Withdrawal); I (Incomplete);or WU (Unofficial Withdrawal).

Example: Ms. Singh is enrolled in 9 credits of courses as an undergraduate student at UMT.

Following are the grades she has received for her courses:

Course attempted Grade receivedMGT 102 (3 credits) BMGT 104 (3 credits) IMGT 106 (3 credits) C+

The student has attempted to complete 9 credithours of courses, but has actually completed 6 credithours of courses (MGT 104 is incomplete andcannot be treated as a complete course). She hascompleted 67 percent of her attempted courses,

which means she is compliant with SAP, whichrequires a minimum of 67 percent completion.

2. Program Credit Hour Completion

Student using FSA may repeat a course to improveacademic performance. However, FSA programrequires students to complete their programs within150 percent of the credits needed to earn a degree.For example, students working on the BBA at UMT –





which entails completion of 120 credit hours of study – must meet all the requirements toward the degreewithin 180 credit hours of study. Computation of credit hours of study includes transfer credits, creditsearned from repeating a course, and/or a change of academic program (e.g., a change of major) thatcount toward meeting degree requirements.

Probation

Student using FSA funding should strive to achieveor exceed minimum requirements in SAP bothqualitatively and quantitatively. If a student failseither one of these criteria, the student will be put onFSA probation for one enrollment term. After theprobation period, if the student still cannot meet SAPrequirements, the student will be suspended for FSAfunding.

SAP Appeal Process

In the event that unusual circumstances – such asacademic program change, serious prolonged illness,death of a family member, or other traumatic events

– are hindering a student’s successful academicperformance leading to the suspension of FSA, thestudent may submit a formal written appealaccompanied by relevant supporting documentationto the UMT Financial Aid Office. Appeals based on aneed for assistance or claims of ignorance that theassistance was at risk will not be considered.

The student will be notified in writing whether the

appeal is denied or approved within two weeks of itssubmission. Students who desire to file an appealshould do so immediately upon notification of financial aid suspension or will have to makeprovisions to pay their fees and tuition with other resources if an appeal remains under considerationat the start of the next enrollment term.

Students whose FSA eligibility is suspended may bereinstated after an enrollment term during which theywere able to reestablish Satisfactory AcademicProgress. The Financial Aid Office will notifystudents if they are able to regain eligible status.

Withdrawal

Official Withdrawal: FSA students desiring towithdraw from a course should submit a request towithdraw to Registrar’s office. The date on which thewithdrawal request is made will be used to calculatethe percentage for Return of Title IV funds.

Unofficial Withdrawal: Students who cease their studies and do not officially notify UMT of their withdrawal are considered unofficial withdrawals.The withdrawal date is determined by the lastdocumented date of an education-related activity. If the last date of attendance is not known, themidpoint of the semester will serve as the withdrawaldate.

Return of Title IV Funds

When students withdraw while enrolled at UMT, theamount of FSA program assistance they haveearned up to that point is determined by computingthe percentage of the semester that has passed (seeformula below). The amount of assistance earned isdetermined on a pro rata basis. For example,students who have completed 25% of their period of enrollment have earned 25% of the assistance theywere originally scheduled to receive. The percentageis computed using the following formula:

Pro rata percentage = [Calendar Days Completed] /[Days in Semester]

If the date is after the 60% point of the semester, thestudent has earned 100 percent of the Title IV fundsand no refunds will be made.

The amount of aid that was earned remains on astudent’s account. The amount of aid that wasunearned will be returned to the appropriate FSAprogram.

Example of Calculating Earned and Unearned TitleIV Aid:

Steve is a BSCS student at University of Management and Technology. He received a totalof $3,316 in Title IV federal aid for the Spring 2010semester. He was awarded $2,066 of Pell Grantand $1,250 of Federal Direct Loan.

The fall semester entails 11 weeks study (77 days),from April 5 through June 19. Steve had to withdrawfor personal reasons after 26 calendar days of the

semester. Thus he completed 34% of theenrollment period (26 days completed/77 total daysin the semester).

Since Steve completed 34% of the total enrollmentperiod, he earned 34% of the Title IV aid the schoolawarded him. This means Steve will receive $1,127($3,316*34%) in Title IV aid. Consequently, $2,189($3,316*66%) of the federal aid is unearned andmust be returned to Title IV program accounts.





Order and Timeframe of Return o f Title IV funds

UMT returns unearned Title IV funds in the followingorder:

1. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans

2. Subsidized Federal Direct Loans3. Federal Direct PLUS Loans4. Federal Pell Grants.

UMT will return unearned Title IV funds within 45days from the determination of a student’swithdrawal.

Post-withdrawal Disbursemen t

If students did not receive all of the funds that theyearned, they may be due a post-withdrawaldisbursement. If the post-withdrawal disbursement

includes loan funds, students may choose to declinethe loan funds in order to avoid incurring additionaldebt. UMT may automatically use all or a portion of students’ post-withdrawal disbursements for tuitionand fees. For all other school charges, UMT needsthe students’ permission to use the post-withdrawaldisbursement. Students who do not grant permissionwill be offered the funds. However, by grantingpermission, they may be able to reduce their debt tothe school.

Example of Post-Withdrawal Disbursement:

In Steve’s case, Steve officially withdrew from theuniversity, but did not receive all of the 34% of thefinancial aid he earned prior to making a completewithdrawal. Steve is eligible to receive a "post-withdrawal disbursement." The University of Management and Technology will notify Steve inwriting of the disbursement amount he is eligible toreceive. Steve will have 14 days to accept or declinethe remainder of the financial aid he earned. If anacceptance is not received within this timeframe, theinstitution will not make the Post-WithdrawalDisbursement.
