Refunds
If any student withdrawing has received a Federal Stafford
Loan and the loan has been negotiated by the school and
the student, any refund due the student must be returned to
the lender as a payment of the student’s loan. if the student is
attending Newport Business Institute for the first time (first term
enrollment), the student must be enrolled 30 days before the

returned to the lender; and the entire loan will be canceled.
For students withdrawing from school after classes begin,

the refund of tuition charges for each term will be as follows
according to the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed
School Regulations:
FIRST WEEK: For a student terminating after entering school and

starting the course, but within the first seven calendar
days of the quarter, the tuition charges shall not
exceed 25 percent of the tuition for the quarter.
AFTER FIRST SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS: For a student terminating

after the first seven calendar days, but within the first
25 percent of the quarter, the tuition shall not exceed
45 percent of the tuition for the quarter.
AFTER 25 PERCENT: For a student terminating after completing

25 percent, but within 50 percent of the quarter, the
tuition charges shall not exceed 70 percent of the
tuition for the quarter.
After 50 percent: No refund.

[38 USC, 1776 (c) (13)]
13
Return of Title IV Funds
Policy
A portion of Title IV Aid may have to be returned to the appropriate
agency when a student withdraws or is terminated.
The amount of Title IV Aid to be returned will depend upon the

date of the student’s last day of attendance.
Official notification of withdrawal must be either in writing or

orally to the Director.
In accordance with federal regulations, those students who

receive federal financial aid and who withdraw from Newport
Business Institute during the first 60 percent of the billing period will
have their federal financial aid adjusted based on the percent
of the period completed prior to withdrawal. Students will be
entitled to retain the same percent of the federal financial aid
received as a percent of the billing period completed. This
percent is calculated by dividing the number of days in the billing
period (less any consecutive breaks of 5 days or more) into the
number of days completed prior to withdrawal or termination.
There will be no adjustment to federal financial aid after the
completion of at least 60 percent of the billing period.
Example:
# of days completed
# of days in the billing period = % of aid earned
100% - % of aid earned = % of funds to be returned
Student withdraws with a last day of recorded attendance

on the 32nd day of the billing period. There are 78 days in the
billing period:
32
78 = 41.03 % of aid earned
100% - 41.0 % = 59 % of funds to be returned
This policy applies to all federal financial aid. It includes PELL

grants, Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, PLUS loans,
and Academic Competiveness Grant.
Please note that students who receive a refund of financial aid

for educational expenses prior to withdrawing from Newport
Business Institute may owe a repayment of those funds. Students
will be contacted by the Financial Aid Office in such situations
and will be given procedures to follow to take care of the
overpayment.
In most cases of overpayment, the student may consider

the repayment of the Federal Stafford Loan as satisfactory
repayment arrangements.
14
Distributing Refunds & Payments
Refund and repayment amounts must be distributed according
to a specific order of priority prescribed in the law and regulations.
Refunds on behalf of SFA recipients must be distributed in the
following order:
1. Unsubsidized Federal Family Education Loan Program
2. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
3. Federal PLUS Loan
4. Federal Pell Grant
5. Academic Competiveness Grant

Directory Information
Newport Business Institute may release the following directory information without student
consent: name, local and permanent address, local and permanent telephone number,
email address, photographs, date and place of birth, dates of attendance and degrees
and honors awarded, major field of study, class schedule, awards received, and previous
educational agency or institution attended by the student.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

All students must maintain the following standards of satisfactory academic progress. Students failing
to meet these standards will result in the suspension of Title IV financial aid.
The satisfactory academic progress will be monitored differently depending on the program of study.
For programs that are two or more academic years in length, progress will be monitored the first time
at the end of their third quarter and subsequently every quarter after until graduation. For programs
less than two academic years in length, progress will be monitored at the end of each quarter until
graduation. Students should contact the Office of Financial Aid for questions regarding the intent and
interpretation of this policy.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE REQUIREMENT (Qualitative Component)

All students, when evaluated, must have a cumulative 2.0 or better on a 4.0 scale. Students who fall
below a cumulative 2.0 at their evaluations will be placed on academic probation for the upcoming
quarter. Failure to achieve the cumulative grade point average requirement after this probation quarter
will result in a suspension of financial aid eligibility. The suspension of financial aid eligibility will continue
until the cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better is met. Students who are on probation will be reviewed at the
end of each quarter.
If a student does not have a grade point average of at least 2.0 at the end of the probationary quarter,
the student shall be suspended from school for one quarter, unless mitigating circumstances exist.
Mitigating Factors:
Students who do not meet the GPA standard will be placed on probation unless the school determines
mitigating factors exist. Mitigating factors include but are not limited to severe illness, severe injury of
the student, death of a family member, employment responsibilities, or an unforeseen or unavoidable
personal circumstance.
Notification of Academic Probation:

Students placed on academic probation will receive a letter explaining their probation. This letter will
explain the consequences of not correcting their academic deficiencies. Once a student has met
the GPA requirement, a meeting will be held with the student and the Director to inform he/she is no
longer on probation.
Credits Earned:
When a student repeats a course for any reason, the higher of the two grades earned in the course
will be used in computing the student’s cumulative grade point average. Grades earned by transfer
students at a previous institution or by pre-testing, withdrawal, incomplete, pass/fail classes, audited
classes, and non-credit remedial courses are not used in the cumulative grade point average but are
considered credits attempted.
Any student failing to achieve a GPA of 2.0 at the end of all required program credits will not be allowed
to graduate with a degree or diploma. At no time can a student exceed 1.5 times the standard timeframe
and receive the original academic credential for which they enrolled. ACICS allows for a student to be
awarded a certificate of completion.
19
REQUIRED INCREMENTAL COURSE COMPLETION RATE
(Quantitative Component)
Full- and part-time students must progress toward completion of their degree within a specified
timeframe. To meet this requirement, a student must successfully complete 67% of his/her cumulative
credits attempted based on the following example schedule. Requirements may be satisfied on a
cumulative total basis with eligibility terminating upon successful completion of all degree requirements
or when a student has attempted 150% of the coursework required for the program of study.
For programs at least two academic years in length, students will be evaluated for the first time at the
end of their third quarter of enrollment and each quarter for the remainder of their program of study.
Students not meeting this standard at any of the specified checkpoints will be placed on academic
probation for one quarter. Failure to achieve a 67% cumulative completion rate during the probationary
quarter will result in the suspension of financial aid eligibility until the cumulative credits successfully
completed are at least 67%,
For programs less than two academic years, progress will be evaluated at the end of each quarter
for the remainder of the students’ program of study. Students not meeting this standard at any of the
specified checkpoints will be placed on academic probation for one quarter. Failure to achieve a 67%
cumulative completion rate during the probationary quarter will result in the suspension of financial aid
eligibility until the cumulative credits successfully completed are at least 67%,
Examples:
Attempted Minimum Completion Requirement (earned)
9 credits 6 credits
12 credits 8 credits
Financial aid eligibility is completely suspended when a student has attempted 150% of the course work
required in the student’s program of study.
For Example:
Student in a 117-credit program can attempt no more than 175 credits
Student in a 30 credit program can attempt no more than 45 credits
Mitigating Factors:
Students who do not meet the required incremental course completing rate will be placed on probation
unless the school determines mitigating factors exist. Mitigating factors include but are not limited to
severe illness, severe injury of the student, death of a family member, employment responsibilities, or
an unforeseen or unavoidable personal circumstance.
Notification of Academic Probation:

Students placed on academic probation will receive a letter explaining their probation and the
consequences of not correcting their academic deficiencies. Once a student has met the required
incremental course completion rates, a meeting will be held with him/her and the Director to inform
the student that the student is no longer on probation.
Credits Attempted:
Withdrawals, Incompletes, and failures are considered attempted credits but not earned. Passing
credits received for pass/fail courses are considered attempted and earned credits. Pre-tested and
transfer credits are considered credits attempted but not earned. Repeated courses are considered
attempted and earned credits. Audited and non-credit courses are not considered credits attempted
or earned
20
Appeal Procedure
Any student certified as not demonstrating satisfactory progress has the opportunity to appeal the
action.
Appeals must be in writing to the Director. The appeal must explain any mitigating circumstances that
prevented the student from successfully completing his/her coursework and must be accompanied
by supporting documentation.
Each appeal evaluation is an individual judgment based on the student’s record and personal
circumstances. Successful student appeals will result in an appropriate individual adjustment to the
satisfactory progress policy. If the appeal is approved, the student will continue to receive financial aid
for an additional quarter. If all academic deficiencies are not corrected after that quarter, the student
will not be eligible for any additional financial aid until the deficiencies are corrected.
Examples of mitigating circumstances for which an appeal may be made may include, but are not limited
to severe illness, severe injury of the student, death of a family member, employment responsibilities,
or an unforeseen or unavoidable personal circumstance. The appeal must also explain why the
circumstances no longer exist and what the student will do to ensure that they will meet Satisfactory
Academic Progress standards in the future.
Appeals can take up to two weeks to review. It is the responsibility of the student to submit an appeal
in a timely manner if he/she wishes to have suspensions reconsidered and aid reinstated for subsequent
quarters.
In the event the students are not satisfied with an appeal decision, they may appeal to the President
of Newport Business Institute. All decisions made by the President are final.
Change of Program/Additional Degree.

When students seek an additional degree or change programs, only the credits attempted and grades
earned for those courses applicable to the new program will be used to determine satisfactory progress.
All previously attempted credits will count toward the maximum allowed for the new program of study.
Transfer Credits.
Transfer credits that apply to the program count toward the actual timeframe (quantitative standard)
of a student’s program, but not toward the students GPA (qualitative standard).
Transferability of Credits (High Schools)
Articulation agreements are in place with several local high schools. The Dean of Students will review
each class taken by the potential student and compare the grade earned with the guidelines
(minimum B or better) set by Newport Business Institute. Students attending high schools participating
in the articulation agreement program will be given academic transfer of credit upon the satisfactory
completion of subjects accepted by Newport Business Institute. Students who receive transfer of credits
will be notified by their Academic Advisor of their revised schedule.
Transferability of Credits (Postsecondary Schools)
The Dean of Students or the Director will determine courses eligible for transfer based on the guidelines
below:
• The course must be comparable in content, goals, and level to the Newport Business
Institute course or content area for which credit is sought.
• The course must have been completed at a postsecondary school that is recognized
by the Department of Education.
• The courses must have been taken for credit.
• Students must have earned a grade of “C” or higher (provided the “C” grade is
defined as “average” or higher) for any course submitted.
• Transcripts are required for transfer credit to be considered.
Students may be required to provide a copy of the catalog description and/or the course syllabus from
the institution where the credit was awarded to validate that the course satisfies the transfer credit criteria.

Grading
1. The following grading scale is used.
A Excellent............................. 90% to 100%....................... 4.00
A* No QPA Computed.......... 90% to 100%....................... 0.00
B Good.................................. 80% to 89%......................... 3.00
B* No QPA Computed.......... 80% to 89%......................... 0.00
C Average............................. 70% to 79%......................... 2.00
C* No QPA Computed.......... 70% to 79%......................... 0.00
D Danger............................... 60% to 69%......................... 1.00
D* No QPA Computed.......... 60% to 69%......................... 0.00
F Failure................................. Below 59%.......................... 0.00
F* No QPA Computed.......... Below 59%.......................... 0.00
I Incomplete........................ Credit Withheld................. 0.00
P Passing................................ Credit Granted.................. 0.00
CR Pre-tested Credit............... Credit Granted.................. 0.00
TR Transfer Credit................... Credit Granted.................. 0.00
NC Non Credit......................... Credit Withheld................. 0.00
AU Audited Class.................... Credit Withheld................. 0.00
W Withdrawal........................ Credit Withheld................. 0.00
A student will receive a “W” if he or she withdraws before

the sixth week; after the sixth week, the student will receive
an “F” for the course.
2. The grading scale will be on the transcript, so employers
may judge the quality of students’ work.
3. Cheating will not be tolerated. Our diplomas and degrees
have value; we do not want someone who cheats to have
one. When you cheat as an adult, you cheat yourself by
not obtaining skills for the workplace. If you cheat and
receive your degree, you cheat your fellow students and our
institution, because you would be representing us without
obtaining the skills we attempted to teach you. If you are
caught cheating the first time, you fail the class; a second
offense will result in termination from this institution.
4. Each student is named to the Dean’s list at the end of each
quarter if he/she maintains an average of 3.5 or higher.
Course Numbering System

Unit of Credit/School Year

Newport Business Institute uses the quarter hour as its unit of
credit. A standard quarter hour of credit is equal to 16 hours of
lecture, 20 hours of lab, or 30 hours of practicum (externship).
Laboratory classes are instructor led using the show them-tell
them-involve them teaching philosophy. Each term is twelve
weeks in length. In lab classes the teacher acts as a facilitator.
Learning contracts are used when necessary. Assignments
are made with deadlines given. While classes are laboratory
in nature, students are given daily assignments. A student is
considered to be full-time attendance when carrying a minimum
of 12 quarter-credit hours per quarter. A school year is defined
as three terms quarters. Externship credit evaluation involves 30
contact hours per externship unit of credit.
The above paragraph applies only to those programs operated

on a quarter-term basis. For those programs operated on a non-
term basis, the following applies:
A standard hour of credit equals 16 hours of lecture, 20 hours

of lab, or 30 hours of practicum (externship). The institution
measures and awards credit based on the number of credit
hours completed. A school year and grade level are defined
as a minimum of 36 quarter credit hours or a maximum of 45
quarter credit hours.
Scholastic Recognition
Associate in Specialized Business Degrees are awarded
for specified 21-month or 24-month programs; diplomas
are awarded for 6-month, 9-month or 12-month programs;
certificates are awarded for classes completed.
Student Conduct/Termination &

or expelled for unacceptable behavior; malicious damage
or theft of school property; disorderly or disruptive conduct;
excessive absences; and the use, sale or possession of illegal
drugs, narcotics, alcohol or any other controlled substances.
Newport reserves the right to suspend or permanently dismiss
any student whose conduct is detrimental to the training
environment. We further reserve the right to dismiss any
student whose conduct, work, or attendance is for any reason

Management
The success or failure of business enterprises depends heavily on

the way managers do their jobs. Primarily, the job of the manager
in business is to plan and direct the work of others. Since these
“others” are usually doing specialized work, it is required that
the manager has experience in, and a broad knowledge of,
the specific functions he or she is supervising. Some of the more
common areas are accounting, advertising, sales, personnel,
production, purchasing, data processing, market research, and
public relations. The Business Administration Program is designed
to allow for acquiring a broad background in these areas.
