This institution is committed to providing equal opportunities to all applicants to programs and to all applicants for employment. Therefore, no discrimination shall occur in any program or activity of this institution, including activities related to the solicitation of students or employees on the basis of race, color, religion, religious beliefs, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability, veteran’s status, or any other classification that precludes a person from consideration as an individual.

This institution's policy on attendance tracking in an asynchronous setting is based on the premise that regular interaction with the content by the student, as well as regular and substantive interaction with coaches, tutors, and fellow students, has significant value in the learning process.

The student must demonstrate regular and substantive interaction, defined as demonstrating engagement with the materials for approximately 20 hours per week, and:

• Posting to the course discussion board substantive comments relevant to the subject;
• Applied effort on the sprint content, concepts, practice materials, and project;
• Submission of sprint projects including revisions based on reviewer feedback.

Each program is comprised of modules of instruction, and each module contains "sprints" – 1, 2 or 3-week long topics of instruction consisting of theory, practice, and final sprint project. Each sprint is unlocked according to the predefined schedule of the course as well as student progress. Students will have access to the next sprint’s theory and practice material as soon as they have submitted their project for the preceding sprint, however students will not be able to begin work on that sprint’s project until the previously submitted project has been accepted with passing marks.

If students have not submitted their project for the sprint by the time that sprint is scheduled to complete, a student can take advantage of an extension, which students can use to prolong the sprint length if they need more time.

Each program has a limited number of such extension weeks, and this number varies based on the program length and difficulty.

Students may request up to 3 hours of individualized tutoring per week. Requests for 1-on-1 tutoring beyond 3 hours in a week may be denied. If a student does not cancel their scheduled tutoring at least 24 hours in advance, the session will be counted toward their weekly cap. Group events and meetings with individual Learning Coaches do not count towards this cap.

TripleTen may suspend a student’s participation in the programs under one or more of the following circumstances:
(a) if a student fails to pay their tuition fees or TripleTen is unable to process the payment;
(b) if a student breaches TripleTen Terms of Use or violates any policy in this catalog and/or the Code of Conduct;
(c) if a student fails to meet the program deadlines for submitting projects.

Continued failure to achieve satisfactory academic progress may result in dismissal from the program. The suspension will last until complete elimination of the reason or circumstances causing such suspension. If the student failed to fix the circumstances leading to its suspension within three business days following TripleTen’s notice of suspension, TripleTen may permanently terminate the student’s access to the program.

Withdrawal & Pro Rata Refund Policy
For purposes of calculating a refund, the date of withdrawal/drop is the date when the Withdrawal Request was received by TripleTen and/or when the student is notified of termination for a violation of a published school policy which provides for termination, whichever is earlier.
Students may notify TripleTen of their intent to withdraw and initiate the withdrawal process by completing the TripleTen Withdrawal Request Form found here: TripleTen Refunds. When a student drops, TripleTen will determine how much of the tuition and fees the student is eligible to receive based on the institutional Pro Rata Refund Calculation Policy below. After calculations are applied, a student may owe a balance to TripleTen, depending upon payments made by the date of withdrawal/drop.
If the student withdraws at any point beyond the cancellation period (14th day after beginning the course as defined in the Cancellation Policy), the refund policy for students who have completed 60 percent or less of the enrollment period shall be a pro rata refund. A pro rata refund shall be no less than the total amount owed by the student for the portion of the educational program provided, subtracted from the amount paid by the student, calculated as follows:

• The amount owed equals the daily charge for the program (total institutional charge, divided by the number of days in the enrollment period for the program), multiplied by the number of days student was scheduled to enroll, prior to withdrawal.

The refund is calculated using the following steps:

1. Determine the total charges agreed for the enrollment period for that student, as stated on their enrollment agreement.
2. Divide this figure by the total number of calendar days constituting the enrollment period.
3. The calculation in step 2 yields the daily charge.
4. The amount owed by the student for instruction received is derived by multiplying the total calendar days in the period of attendance as of the student’s last date of attendance by the daily charge.
5. The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in step 4 that was paid by the student.

Students are not eligible to receive any refund following the completion of more than 60% of the enrollment period for the program.
The institution shall issue a refund for unearned institutional charges within 30 days of a student’s cancellation or withdrawal.
Enrollment period for the purposes of the Refund Policy (calendar days):

Student Tuition Recovery Fund Disclosures.
“The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed 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 amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1747 N. Market Blvd., Suite 225, Sacramento, CA 95834, (916) 574-8900 or (888) 370-7589.
To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:

1. The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach-out plan approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach-out plan approved by the Bureau.
2. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120 day period before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, or were enrolled in an educational program within the 120 day period before the program was discontinued.
3. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or value of the program more than 120 days before closure.
4. The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so.
5. The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan program as required by law, or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs.
6. You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but have been unable to collect the award from the institution.
7. You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student loan or loans.

To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from the date of the action or event that made the student 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.
