Accreditation

Virscend University has applied for Eligibility from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). WSCUC has reviewed the application and determined that the University is eligible to proceed with an application for Candidacy and Initial Accreditation. A determination of Eligibility is not a formal status with the WASC Senior College and University Commission, nor does it ensure eventual accreditation. It is a preliminary finding that the institution is potentially accreditable and can proceed within five years of its Eligibility determination to be reviewed for Candidacy or Initial Accreditation status with the Commission. Questions about Eligibility may be directed to the institution or to WSCUC at wscuc@wscuc.org or (510) 748-9001.

It is a huge honor for a school to receive accreditation, so our team of staff and faculty are working diligently to obtain an official seal of approval from WASC.

In addition, Virscend University is in agreement with the Bureau of Private Post-Secondary Education (BPPE) to achieve the following deadline:

Achieve accreditation candidacy or pre-accreditation, as defined in regulations, by November 1, 2019, and full accreditation by November 18, 2021.
As of June 4, 2019, Virscend University has met its first deadline.

Degree Validation from either WES (World Education Services) or IERF (International Education Research Foundation) or a NACES approved agency.

Students must submit their transcripts, degree and any other documents to either one of the above-listed agencies or a recognized NACES approved agency. The agency will verify that all documentation is accurate and that it meets the accreditation criteria necessary to transfer their degree into the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree, coursework, and/or certificate from an accredited institution of the United States. The agency will report their findings to our school.

English Proficiency Requirement

- Students who have an international degree must provide proof of English proficiency in either of the following ways:

- The Medium of Instruction Letter (MIL): Students may obtain a MIL letter from the respective university in which they have completed their coursework. The MIL letter serves as a legal document that certifies that all instruction in the foreign institution has been delivered in the English Language Only.
Completion and a minimum score as listed below for either of the following exams:

BS Program (2-year degree completion program)

TOEFL: Paper-based: 500, Internet-based 61
IELTS EXAM: 6.0

MBA Program:

TOEFL: Paper-based: 525, Internet-based 71
IELTS EXAM: 6.5

Students who do not have a TOEFL/IELTS nor a MIL may be provisionally admitted to the university upon review of a candidate’s work experience and/or English related coursework, and in-house English test.

If the student has acquired work experience where the English language was the primary language used within their work environment, the student may submit their resume/employer’s letter emphasizing the length of employment and department contact information where confirmation of English usage during employment may be verified. Please note that the student must have had a minimum of one year of employment.

Students submitting work experience to meet the English Proficiency requirement are subject to an interview and written assessment.

If the student has completed an English program from an accredited institution, the student may submit transcripts/certificates showing English language coursework taken within the trajectory of a year.
Candidates undergo an interview that allows the candidate to demonstrate his/her speaking and listening skills.
The written assessment assesses reading comprehension and conventional grammar rules.

Both the interview and written assessment have been carefully crafted to assess a candidate’s readiness for the program in which he/she is applying. Once conducted the results are assessed and communicated to the Admission Committee.

Further, Virscend University recognizes that second language acquisition is a lifelong endeavor. Students who satisfy the requirements for admission will be monitored periodically to ensure that the students receive language support when necessary. Virscend University may require students to partake in a language development course/program to further assist their English development. Currently, the university sponsors Irvine Project Manager Toastmasters. Irvine Project Managers Toastmasters is part of an international educational organization. It is recognized for its focus on communication and leadership development. Students may consider registering for Irvine Project Managers Toastmasters or other language development programs upon approval from the Academic Program Director.

Academic Policies

Attendance Policy and Procedures

Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Classroom participation is often one of the necessary and important requirements to learning and in many cases is essential to the educational objectives of the course. Students are required to attend more than 70% of the scheduled sessions throughout the entire program.

Attendance Procedure

When a student falls below 80% of attendance, they will receive a verbal warning from their instructor. When a student falls below 70% of attendance they will be placed on probation for the remainder of the program. The student will be notified of their probation status and they will be required to meet with the Academic Program Director or student advisor. Students who arrive to class more than 10 minutes after the class is scheduled to commence will receive an unexcused absence for that class period, subject to review by the instructor.

Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies

MBA Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies

The Director of Academic Programs may place a student on academic probation if the student is not making satisfactory academic progress as per Virscend University’s GPA requirement. The student’s grade point average will be monitored at the end of each semester when grades are posted. If after attempting 6 or more units and if a cumulative GPA is less than 3.0, the student is on probation and will result in a formal advisory note, which will be sent to the student by mail or email, explaining the reason for the probation. If the student wishes to appeal the formal advisory, the student is to submit a written request for an administrative academic review to the Administrative Office: Virscend University, 16490 Bake Parkway, Irvine, CA 92618

If the GPA reaches a 3.0 or above, the student will be removed from probation. If after attempting 15 or more units (and any subsequent semester) a student will be dismissed if the GPA has not improved with courses counting towards their degree enough to be on track to graduate with a 3.0 or more at the end of their program.

The Director of Academic Programs will offer assistance in locating a suitable tutor, should such service be requested by the student. Any student seeking a tutor is financially responsible for the cost of all such tutoring. Thereafter, the student’s failure to achieve satisfactory academic progress may result in dismissal from the program.

Grading Scale and Standards

Grading Scale

The following grading scale is adopted for use in all University courses.

Grade	Equivalent	Grade Points	Grade Scale
A	Excellent	4.0	90-100
B	Good	3.0	80-89
C	Below Average	2.0	70-79
D	Poor	1.0	60-69
F	Fail	0	0-59
W	Withdrawal	0
AW	Administrative Withdrawal	N/A
WU	Withdrawal Unauthorized	0
I	Incomplete	0

Grading Standards

A = Excellent
- The student demonstrates advanced knowledge of all of the content and skills presented in the course and is able to use professional or personal experience to contribute to class knowledge in a unique and insightful manner. The student has excellent writing skills and participates actively in all aspects of the learning process.
B = Good
- The student demonstrates knowledge of most of the content and skills presented in the course and often uses relevant professional or personal experience to contribute to class knowledge. The student has very good writing skills and participates frequently in the online classroom.
C = Below average
- The student demonstrates below-average knowledge of the content and skills presented in the course. The student somewhat applies relevant professional or personal experience to class topics. There may be deficiencies in writing skills and course participation may be inadequate.
D = Poor
- The student fails to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the content and skills presented in the course and poorly applies relevant professional or personal experience to class topics. There are deficiencies in writing skills and course participation may be inadequate.
F = Fail

The student has presented an unacceptable quality and/or quantity of work that does not meet with the expectations and/or the number of assignments specified by either the university and/or professor.

If the student has not completed the coursework and earned a grade, the student may petition for one of the following grading marks, if and when, the student follows the appropriate guidelines. NOTE: THE FOLLOWING GRADING MARKS MAY IMPACT A STUDENT’S GPA.

W = Withdraw
- The student may withdraw from any course after 10 working days before the end of the semester (refer to Add/Drop Policy for more information). A pro-rata refund may be reimbursed if the withdrawal falls under the qualifying deadline, as specified by the academic calendar (See refund policy for more detail). The student will be responsible for a new tuition payment for the repeated course of study. A student who withdraws will have to retake the course.
AW = Administrative Withdraw
- During the first 10 working days of the course, if a student is absent, an instructor may withdraw a student from their course. It is the responsibility of the student to contact their instructor prior to the first week of class to notify him/her about any absence. Yet, it is at the discretion of a professor to determine whether the absence can be excused. If a student is administratively withdrawn, a student will have to retake the course. Since an administrative withdrawal only occurs at the beginning of the semester, the student will receive full tuition reimbursement, less administrative fees such as deposit or application fee that will not exceed $250. NOTE: While an AW may appear on students’ transcript, an administrative withdrawal is not calculated in a student’s GPA.
WU= Withdrawal Unauthorized
- If the student discontinues the study without filing the withdrawal application. He/she will receive the grade of WU. The WU will appear on the transcript and the GPA of WU is “0”.
I = Incomplete Grade
- If the course has not been completed the instructor may grant an “I” for incomplete. This incomplete status gives a student a semester/trimester extension, at no additional tuition cost. The reasons for requesting an incomplete are vast, such as an illness that precludes you from attending class or studying, general hardships, or family emergencies; Virscend is willing to work with students in their specific situation.
- In order to be eligible for an incomplete, the student must be satisfactorily progressing in the course (two-thirds of the coursework with a passing grade of C or higher) and the instructor must have a valid reason to believe that an extension of time will permit satisfactory completion. Instructor and student must meet and complete the Incomplete Grade Form. After receiving the Instructor signature, the form should be turned in to the Director of Academic Programs (admissions@virscend.com), who will then review and approve the incomplete status. The student can expect a response within five business days, but it will usually be sooner (as we understand typically these are time-sensitive issues). The form must be signed by both the instructor and the Director of Academic Programs before discontinuing classwork.
- If an incomplete is granted, the student must submit all coursework required to the instructors within the following semester/trimester. If the instructor does not receive the agreed-upon coursework within the extension, the student will receive the grade indicated by the instructor on the Incomplete Grade Form. If the instructor does not indicate a grade to be assigned, the student will receive an F. In addition, the student may not take a full load of coursework during the granted semester/trimester extension.

Grade Appeal Policy and Procedures

Student’s Rights To Cancel Policy

The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund on tuition if it is requested on the first-class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. In such a case, the institution shall refund 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250). NOTE: If the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of monies not paid from federal student financial aid program funds.

A notice of cancellation shall be in writing, and a withdrawal may be effectuated by the student’s written notice to the school’s Admissions Office, 16490 Bake Pkwy, suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 or by the student’s conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student’s lack of attendance.

In addition, the school may withdraw a student from a course, if within the first two weeks of class the student has not reported to class nor communicated his intent to the instructor and admission office.

Refund Policy

A pro rata refund pursuant to section 94910(c) or 94920(d) or 94927 of the BPPE code shall be applied to students who have completed 60% of the clock hours of instruction in any given period of attendance. The amount refunded will be the total amount paid by the student for the academic semester minus the portion of the educational program that was provided. The calculation is as follows:

The amount owed equals the total amount paid for tuition minus the daily charge for the program (total institutional charge, divided by the number of days or hours in the program), multiplied by the number of days the student attended, or was scheduled to attend, prior to withdrawal.
No refunds are due once the student has received more than 60% (9 weeks) of the clock hours of instruction in any given period of attendance. For purposes of determining a refund, a student shall be considered to have withdrawn from an educational program when he or she withdraws or is deemed withdrawn in accordance with the withdrawal policy.
If an institution has collected money from a student for transmittal documents in order to act on behalf of the student to pay a third party for a bond, library usage, or fees for a license, application, or examination and the institution has not paid the money to the third party at the time of the student’s withdrawal or cancellation, then the institution shall refund the money to the student within 45 days of the student’s withdrawal or cancellation.
This institution shall refund any credit balance on the student’s account within 45 days after the date of the student’s completion of, or withdrawal from, the educational program in which the student was enrolled.

Financial Aid Policy

While Virscend is working on acquiring financial options for students, at the moment, Virscend university is not affiliated with any private or government financial institution. Students enrolled in an unaccredited institution are not eligible for federal financial aid programs. There are no loan programs or federal financial aid. Students must finance their own tuition or apply for Virscend University’s academic scholarships. Currently, Virscend offers 3 types of scholarships: Presidential Scholarship, Academic Scholarship, and Professional-Scholarship to qualified students. The Presidential Scholarship allows the student to waive 100% of the cost of tuition. The Academic Scholarship allows students to waive 75% of the full cost of tuition and Professional Scholarship allows students to waive 50% of the full cost of tuition. All scholarships do not waive any applicable fees such as the registration fee. Candidates who apply for scholarships are evaluated based on individual qualifications which may include the following criteria: GPA, standardized test scores, and work experience. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for the scholarships. For more information on our scholarship email us at admission@virscend.com.

To finance their own tuition, students either pay in-person at the Office of Admissions office or online by visiting our website: www.virscend.com. In-person, students may pay either using cash, visa, master, or American Express or a check payable to Virscend University. Online students pay using credit cards only.

To apply for a scholarship, please attach a short (less than one page) narrative about why you believe you are qualified for a scholarship (either need or merit-based).

Loan Repayment Policy

If a student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds.

Also, as established in BPPE Ed. Code §94911 the following actions may take place:

“An enrollment agreement shall include, at a minimum, all of the following:

(g) A statement specifying that, if the student is eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government and the student defaults on the loan, both of the following may occur:

(1) The federal or state government or a loan guarantee agency may take action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the person is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan.

(2) The student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance until the loan is repaid.”

STRF Disclosure

Student Tuition Recovery Fund Disclosures:

In compliance with BPPE code, Virscend University provides the following regulations regarding STRF.

5 CCR §76215(a)

“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.”

5 CCR §76215(b)

“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 #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:

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.
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.
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.
The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so.
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.
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.
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 non collection 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.”

Disability and Accommodation Policy

Print Page

Disability and Accommodation Policy

Generally Virscend University is committed to providing equal and integrated access for students with disabilities to academic, social, cultural and recreational programs. This resolve is grounded not only in the law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, but also in Virscend’s own commitment to the inclusion of all members of the community.

Documentation Guidelines

The Office of Student Success and Distance Education conducts individualized assessments of accommodation requests that include the review of relevant documentation. We emphasize the value of the student’s experience, history, and perspective in conjunction with the review of supporting medical documentation, and therefore meet with every student before finalizing accommodation plans.

When submitting documentation, the following elements are requested universally:

A signature of a licensed, treating physician, therapist, or other qualified care provider is required for all documentation.
A signed, dated, typewritten narrative written in English (or translated into English by a certified translator) provided on letterhead
Current disability and history of diagnosis (Although we do not set a limit on the age of the documentation, it must still be accurate and relevant to the student’s current diagnostic profile.)
Information regarding current treatment plan (if relevant to accommodation planning)
Functional impact of diagnosis (e.g., learning, concentrating, walking, seeing, etc.)
Any recommendations or strategies that will mitigate the Impact of the described limitations.

Temporary Injuries & Illnesses

The Deputy Director of Student Success works with students experiencing temporary injuries and illnesses in order to facilitate short-term accommodations. Temporary injuries refer to non-recurring medical conditions of short duration (generally six months or less). Examples of temporary injuries and illnesses include broken limbs, manual injuries, concussions, and impairments resulting from surgical recovery.

Students requesting accommodations for a temporary injury should contact the Deputy Director of Student Success directly in order to schedule an access meeting with a member of our staff. Additional documentation to support your request for accommodations may be requested.

Documentation from students with temporary injuries and illnesses should indicate the current impact of the condition and provide an estimated time of recovery.

Confidentiality

The Deputy Director of Student Success operates under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and all information and medical documentation submitted to the office is protected under the parameters of this law.

Student Grievance Policy and Procedure

Student Grievance Policy and Procedure

Student Grievance Policy

Virscend University aims to educate students in a safe atmosphere.

It is generally recognized that in any human group complaints may originate because of misunderstandings, missed communications, perceived injustices, unanswered or incorrectly answered questions, or minor problems that have been neglected. Effective communication techniques are the tools by which one builds good human relations and accomplishes the objectives of the institution.

Sometimes effective two-way communication is not possible in a time of conflict. These Grievance Procedures have been developed in the hope that their accessibility and standard of fairness will encourage students, faculty, and staff to utilize them as an internal forum for the resolution of such conflicts. These Procedures allow both sides of a disagreement to be fairly considered, and permit disputes to be resolved in a timely and constructive manner. Each grievance is to be treated seriously.

The purpose of this policy is to provide a mechanism for individual students to raise a grievance arising from their educational experience. The policy will also ensure that such grievances are dealt with promptly, fairly, and in accordance with other related policies of the Organization.

Problems or complaints that students may have about students, faculty, staff, or the institution can be resolved by directing the concern to the Grievance Committee (composed of one faculty and one staff). The Grievance Committee is in charge of investigating and providing a resolution to the grievance. Only one grievance procedure may be used for the same grievable issue. A grievance submitted under the formal procedure must be in writing. To the extent possible, strict confidentiality will be maintained regarding all matters relevant to grievances on a criterion of “need to know.” All grievances will be promptly, thoroughly, and impartially investigated and decided within reasonable time frames at each stage of the grievance process.

The formal grievance process may generally be activated only after an effort has been made to resolve an issue through an informal process and when discussions between the parties to the disagreement have been exhausted and left unresolved. The desire to prevent or to anticipate or to register mere unhappiness over a particular decision or action does not, alone, justify a grievance.

The University expressly forbids anyone to take any form of retaliatory action against any member of the Virscend community who in good faith voices concerns, seeks advice, files a complaint or grievance, testifies or participates in investigations, compliance reviews, proceedings or hearings, or opposes actual or perceived violations of Virscend’s University’s policy or unlawful acts.

Student Grievance Procedure

In order to process their formal grievance/complaint, the grievant must complete the form provided on the website (https://virscend.com/student-forms/), which will ask for your name and email. Form submission will trigger an automated response via email, which will allow the student to explain their grievance. The email will be received by the Office of Student Success (Allison McInnis), who shall forward it to the committee chair. The committee will send an acknowledgment by email/mail and schedule a meeting with the student within 10 days from which the email was received.

After a meeting is held, the committee will decide the proper action. All involved parties will be notified via email or phone call of the committee’s decision.

However, if the grievant disapproves of the Committee’s response, the grievant may submit a complaint to the Director of Academic Programs. The complaint may be sent via email to admission@virscend.com

The written complaint must contain a statement of the nature of the problem, the date the problem occurred, the names of the individuals involved, copies of documents, if any, which contain information regarding the problem, evidence (if any) demonstrating that the institution’s grievance/complaint procedure was properly followed, and the student’s signature. Upon review, the Director of Academic Programs will send a written response to the individual within 10 business days.
