Animation, Digital Filmmaking, Film Production, Graphic Design, Audio Production, Animation, Writing for Film and Television,
Music Production, and Media Communications.

The Los Angeles Film School celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2019 and to recognize this milestone, the school established
the Los Angeles Film School Spotlight Academy. The Spotlight Academy pays tribute to the heart, creativity, and dedication
among The Los Angeles Film School’s alumni. Outstanding alumni are nominated each year and inducted into the Spotlight
Academy during a ceremony that recognizes their unyielding commitment to excellence in their professional careers and
selfless contribution of time and connection to the students and community.

NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS
& CREDENTIALS EARNED AT OUR INSTITUTION
The transferability of credits that a student earns at The Los Angeles Film School is at the complete discretion of the
institution to which the student may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree a student earns in the program is also at the
complete discretion of the institution to which the student may seek to transfer. If the credits or degree that a student earns
at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which the student seeks to transfer, the student may be required to
repeat some or all of their coursework at that institution.

For this reason, students should make certain that their attendance at this institution will meet their educational goals. This
may include contacting an institution to which the student may seek to transfer after attending The Los Angeles Film School
to determine if their credits or degree will transfer.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS

Students who would like to request an evaluation of prior credit for potential transfer must submit a written request and
provide official transcripts from the institution or entity awarding the credit within 30 days after their program start date.

Veterans receiving GI Bill® benefits while attending The Los Angeles Film School are required to submit transcripts for any
previous education or training for evaluation, granting of prior credit, and possible shortening of the length of the program.
Students using Military or Veterans Affairs benefits should refer to the Transfer Credit Policy.

The GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education
benefits offered by the VA is available at the official U.S. government website at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

NON-U.S. INSTITUTIONS
Students with degrees from non-U.S. colleges and universities must submit an evaluation and English language translation
(if applicable) prepared by a professional foreign academic credential evaluation and translation service to confirm USA
equivalency.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Students may be required to provide copies of course descriptions from the academic catalog or course syllabus published
by the institution awarding the credit.

GRADES OF TRANSFER CREDITS

Only courses with an earned grade of “C” (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher will be considered for transfer credit.

LEVEL OF TRANSFER CREDITS

Only undergraduate-level credits (100-level course or equivalent and above) taken at an accredited institution of higher
education and of an equivalent credit amount will be considered for transfer. No remedial or developmental courses will be
considered for transfer.

PRIOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

The school does not grant credit for prior experiential learning.

122 x
PROFICIENCY CREDIT FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES
Official documents related to CLEP or AP scores or similar means to demonstrate proficiency for credit must be received by
the school prior to the class start. No more than 25 percent of a program’s required credits will be considered for any type
of proficiency credit.

Advanced Placement. Some foundation courses can be obtained through College Board’s AP Studio examinations. Students
who take the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses and score three or higher
on the AP exam or four or higher on the IB exam for those courses while in secondary school may receive proficiency
credit. This score applies to all subjects. All materials must be received from the Scholastic College Board organization and
evaluated prior to the start of the program of enrollment.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). Complete the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and earn a score
of 50 or higher on computer-based CLEP examinations equivalent to college courses prior to the start of the program of
enrollment.

Military Experience Credits. Complete training, employment, or other educational experience in the military as
measured through DANTES, DSST examinations, or as shown on an American Council on Education (ACE) transcript. The
school recognizes and uses the ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services to determine
the value of learning acquired in military service. We award credit for appropriate learning acquired in military service at
levels consistent with ACE Guide recommendations when applicable to a Service member’s program. In addition, we utilize
the Joint Services Transcript in our processing of prior learning experiences for possible transfer credit.

TOTAL ALLOWABLE TRANSFER OF CREDIT

Students must earn a minimum of 25 percent of the total program credits required for graduation in residency at The Los
Angeles Film School and may only be granted a maximum of 75 percent of the total program credits required for graduation
through transfer credit earned at an outside institution and/or proficiency testing.

THE STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND (STRF)
Effective April 1, 2022, the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education changed the Student Tuition Recovery Fund
(STRF) fee from fifty cents ($0.50) to two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional
charges, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, from each student in an educational program who is a California resident
or is enrolled in a residency program. Thus, any student who meets this definition and is enrolling after 3/31/2022 must
pay the additional fee listed below for their program. The STRF fee is charged at the time of enrollment. The tuition and fee
charges for students enrolling in the April 2022 term or later are listed in the following section.

You must pay the state-imposed assessment for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if all of the following apply
to you:

1. 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 either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal
loans, and

2. Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program,
or other payer unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third party.

You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment if either of the
following applies:

1. You are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program, or

2. Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program, or other
payer, and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party.

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 North Market Boulevard, Suite 225, Sacramento, CA 95834; phone: 916.431.6959
or 888.370.7589.

To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or enrolled in a residency program, have prepaid your
tuition, have 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.

150 x
 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. 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.

6. 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.

The Office of Student Assistance and Relief is available to support prospective students, current students, or past students
of private postsecondary educational institutions in making informed decisions understanding their rights and navigating
available services and relief options. The office may be reached by calling 888.370.7589 or by visiting www.bppe.ca.gov.

BOOKS & MATERIALS

The school provides an easy and convenient method for students to obtain the digital and non-digital textbooks required
for their courses. Students will be charged for the cost of textbooks in addition to tuition unless the student chooses to opt
out during the registration process. If students opt out, they are required to obtain the books independently by the course
start date each month. Assignment deadlines will not be extended and students’ grades may be affected if they opt out but
do not secure the textbooks used in the course in a timely manner. Students may request a modification for a subsequent
payment period regarding their choice to use the school’s method to obtain books, but not retroactively, by contacting the
Business Office.

If students opt out of the school’s method, they will receive any Title IV credit balance, if one is created for the payment
period in question, no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the first day of class or fourteen (14) calendar days of
the date the Title IV credit balance appears on the student account. If a Title IV credit balance is not created and, therefore,
a student is not due to receive one, she/he is still responsible for purchasing the required books for her or his courses. By
the seventh (7th) day of each course start date within the payment period, the school will provide a method for students to
obtain the books and supplies required for their courses.

• For courses using a digital textbook, a digital textbook provided by the school will be automatically
redeemed with the school’s contracted third-party vendor and charged to the student account.

• For courses using a non-digital textbook, students will be able to pick up the textbook from the
Distribution Center, which is located on the 4th floor of Building 2 (6353 Sunset Blvd.). For students in
Online programs that use non-digital textbooks, the book will be mailed to the student’s address on
record.

TECHKIT
The TechKit is a package of mandatory program items that are essential for a student’s success. The primary component
of the TechKit is a laptop computer and software that serves as a personal workstation throughout a student’s education.
Purchase of the TechKit is not included in the cost of tuition, but is a mandatory fee charged to all students. The entire
bundle must be purchased as a whole from the school. The composition and cost of the Techkit is specific to each program
of study. In some programs, other required equipment such as camera and lighting gear or musical equipment is part of the
TechKit. The TechKit comes with program-specific hardware and software that allows students to work on their projects on
and off campus and maintain their personal portfolio from any location.

OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

STUDENT ID CARD REPLACEMENT FEE $20.00
RETURNED CHECK FEE (PER OCCURRENCE) $25.00

METHODS OF PAYMENT
Payments may be made in the form of cash, check, major credit cards, money order, and/or through scheduled disbursements
of federal financial aid programs.

Students will only be required to pay tuition in advance for one payment period or semester. However, at the student’s
option, the school will accept payment for tuition and fees for an academic year or the full program once the student has
been accepted and enrolled and the date of the first class session is disclosed on the enrollment agreement.

DELINQUENT STUDENT ACCOUNTS

Monthly past due notices are sent to students who have outstanding balances beyond their payment due dates. When a
balance is $3,500 and over and is 60 days past due the student’s account is determined to be delinquent.

Monthly notices are sent to students with delinquent accounts. On the 4th and final notice and balance is still unresolved,
school will make the determination to withdraw the student from the program.

CANCELLATION, WITHDRAWAL & REFUND POLICIES

STUDENT’S RIGHT TO CANCEL

Student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the
first class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. In addition, students who have not visited the
school prior to enrollment will have the opportunity to withdraw without penalty within three business days following either
the regularly scheduled orientation procedures or following a tour of the school facilities and inspection of equipment
where training and services are provided. All monies paid by an applicant will be refunded if requested within three days
after signing an enrollment agreement and making an initial payment.

Students who wish to cancel their enrollment should fill out the cancellation form available in the Student Advising
Department (1st floor, Building 2, 6353 Sunset Blvd.) or send written notice by email to advising@lafilm.edu (campus
students) or onlineadvising@lafilm.edu (online students) or mail to: Student Records Department, The Los Angeles Film
School, 6353 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028.

If a student has received federal financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of monies not paid from federal
student financial aid program funds. LAFS will refund any monies paid by the student and will remove any charges from the
student’s account. All refunds will be made within 45 calendar days of the date of the cancellation.

TRIAL PERIOD OF ENROLLMENT

A Trial Period of 30 calendar days from the program enrollment date may be granted on a defined degree program basis.
The Trial Period of attendance is a four-week period of time where a student attends an eligible program without incurring
program charges or receiving Federal Student Aid funds. Once the student is admitted as a regular student after successfully
completing the trial period, he/she is eligible to receive Federal Student Aid funds for the entire payment period.

Students who are enrolled in a Trial Period program may withdraw at any time during this period without financial obligation.
The student will not be eligible to receive Title IV, HEA program funds until the successful completion of the Trial Period.
Students who attend a Trial Period and who wish to receive Title IV, HEA program funds after successfully completing the
trial period and becoming a regular student must meet the other student eligibility criteria as provided in the regulations
at 34 CFR 668.32.

REFUND POLICY

The institutional/California state refund policy shall be a pro-rata refund of monies paid for institutional charges for
students who have completed 60% or less of the enrollment period (semester) in which the student withdraws. The pro-
rata percentage is based on the number of days the student was enrolled and in attendance within the enrollment period.
There shall be no refund available to the student if the student withdraws after completing more than 60% of the enrollment
period.

For students receiving funds through the Federal Student Aid program, unearned funds will be returned to the aid programs
in the order required under Federal Law. If any portion of those charges was paid from the proceeds of a non-federal loan,
then the refund will be sent to the lender or to the agency that guaranteed the loan, if any. Any remaining balance will be
paid to the student within 45 days following the student’s withdrawal.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE SCHOOL

Students who wish to withdraw from the school must do so in writing. Students may fill out a withdrawal form in person
with the assistance of their Student Advisor (located on the 1st Floor of Building 2, 6353 Sunset Blvd.) or send written notice
by email to advising@lafilm.edu (campus students) or onlineadvising@lafilm.edu (online students) or mail to: Student
Records Department, The Los Angeles Film School, 6353 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028.

Responsibility for providing a notice of withdrawal rests entirely with the student. Any money owed to the school is due
on the effective date of the withdrawal. Refunds, if any, will be paid in accordance with the Refund Policies set forth in the
catalog and enrollment agreement. The date of determination will be the date the student notifies the school of his or her
intent to withdraw or the effective date indicated by the student, whichever is later.

Students may be Administratively Withdrawn under any of the following circumstances:

• Student is administratively dropped from all courses in a term due to non-attendance.

• Student fails to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.

• Student fails to return from an interruption of training (IOT).

• Student fails to reconcile their financial accounts in a timely manner.

• Student fails to comply with the school’s policies, rules, and standards.

• Student violates the Student Code of Conduct.

x 153
The date of determination will be the date that the school administratively withdraws the student. For students who are
administratively withdrawn due to non-attendance, the Registrar will determine the last date of attendance using attendance
records. If Student obtains a loan to pay for this degree program, Student will have the responsibility to repay the full
amount of the loan, plus interest, less the amount of any refund. If Student is eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal
or state government and Student subsequently defaults on that loan, both of the following may occur:

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

2. Student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or
other government assistance until the loan is repaid. Student acknowledges that any loans Student
takes out are Student’s sole responsibility. Student also acknowledges that determination of whether
a particular loan or set of loans is suitable for Student remains at Student’s sole discretion. LAFS
encourages Student to conduct his or her own due diligence about available lenders, interest rates,
and repayment terms.

WITHDRAWAL & REFUND POLICIES FOR IOWA RESIDENTS

The school is not required to be authorized by the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. The School uses a pro-rata refund
policy for Iowa residents who are enrolled in online programs. Students who are rejected by the college or cancel enrollment
within five (5) business days of the school’s receipt of a signed enrollment agreement are entitled to a 100% refund of tuition
and fees (0% tuition and fees charged).

Refunds will be paid within thirty (30) days of a student’s official termination or withdrawal. If the school cancels or
discontinues a course or educational program stated in the Enrollment Agreement, the school will refund all monies paid
for that course or program. Iowa residents who are enrolled in online programs will receive a refund of tuition charges in
an amount that is not less than ninety percent (95%) of the amount of tuition charged to the student multiplied by the ratio
of the remaining number of calendar days in the school period to the total number of calendar days in the school period.

In accordance with Iowa refund policies, refunds will be calculated for the semester using the following formula:

NUMBER OF REMAINING CALENDAR DAYS IN THE SEMESTER +

NUMBER OF CALENDAR DAYS IN THE SEMESTER = PERCENTAGE OF INCOMPLETE SEMESTER

PERCENTAGE OF INCOMPLETE SEMESTER X

TOTAL SEMESTER TUITION CHARGES = INCOMPLETE TUITION BALANCE

INCOMPLETE TUITION BALANCE X 95%

= IOWA TUITION REDUCTION

EXCEPTIONS: If an Iowa online student cancels his/her program at any time due to the student’s physical incapacitation, the
student’s refund shall be calculated using the following formula:

=
NUMBER OF REMAINING CALENDAR DAYS OF THE SEMESTER
IOWA TUITION REDUCTION
TOTAL SEMESTER
TUITION CHARGES X ------------------------------------------------------------------------
NUMBER OF CALENDAR DAYS IN THE SEMESTER

Cancellation due to physical incapacitation will require medical documentation.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Los Angeles Film School has Financial Aid counselors to help students and their families develop a financial plan to
enable program completion. These counselors help students complete applications for grants and loans applicable to the
student’s circumstances. Once a student’s eligibility for financial assistance has been determined, the student and the
counselor develop a plan for meeting educational expenses. Students may apply for scholarships, grants, and loans to assist
with college expenses. Scholarships and grants are sums of money given to an eligible student to be applied toward the
student’s educational costs. Students do not repay scholarships or grants but must meet specific requirements to receive
them. Various loans may also be available to assist students with educational costs.

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.

All students who receive federal or state-sponsored financial assistance must maintain satisfactory academic progress
as defined in the Academic Policies and Procedures section. Students not actively attending due to an interruption of
training (IOT) or withdrawal may not receive award disbursements. The school is eligible for financial aid and participates in
many programs to assist students with their education.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

The Financial Aid Department encourages all applicants who apply for financial aid to begin the process early. Those seeking
“federal” financial aid are required to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA may be
completed online at studentaid.gov. After the FASFA is submitted, the U.S. Department of Education notifies applicants
of their results, and our Financial Aid counselors will be available to discuss the available options for funding the selected
degree program. Eligibility for Federal Financial Aid Programs requires that a student be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
[Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-151) or Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551), commonly known as a green card].
Financial aid is only available to students enrolling in a degree program. Individual course students are not eligible for
financial aid. The school reserves the right to decline the certification of any educational loan.

GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant Program is designed to assist undergraduates with education expenses. Under this program, an
undergraduate is one who has not earned a bachelor’s or first professional degree. Awards for the 2023–24 award year
range up to $7,395. The U.S. Department of Education uses a standard formula, established by Congress, to determine
eligibility.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is also designed to assist undergraduates with education
expenses. Under this program, an undergraduate is one who has not earned a bachelor’s or first professional degree.
Amounts are determined by application of the federal formula regarding a student’s need as determined by the information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and Pell Grant eligibility.

Institutional Scholarships

The school has a variety of institutional scholarship opportunities to assist students in meeting their financial needs while
attending one of our degree programs. Each scholarship is unique, and eligibility is dependent on the type of program and
eligibility. Please contact a Financial Aid representative for more information.

FEDERAL LOANS

Direct Loans

A Direct Loan is a low-interest loan made to a student enrolled in an Undergraduate Degree Program. Annual loan limits
increase each subsequent year a student attends. Repayment terms and conditions are flexible in order to meet the needs
of students after graduation.

Parent Direct PLUS Loans

A Parent Direct PLUS Loan is a credit-based loan made to either parent of a dependent child enrolled in an Undergraduate
Degree Program. Available to credit-worthy parents, these loans provide funds for a student’s educational expenses and
may also provide additional money for living expenses. The interest rate is determined by Congress and compares favorably
to other education financing options.

Private Education Loans

Many private lenders offer alternative education loans to supplement the federal programs after maximum limits are
reached. These non-federal education loans have differing fees, interest rates, and repayment options. They are credit-based
and students may often secure a more favorable interest rate by using a co-signer. Students are strongly encouraged to
maximize their eligibility for federal aid prior to applying for any private education loan. Contact the Financial Aid Department
for more information. Students acquiring an educational loan to finance tuition and related educational expenses will be
obligated to repay such loans and interest thereon. Defaulting on educational loans may have an adverse effect on a
student’s ability to qualify for future credit, loans, grants, and governmental assistance programs. Information regarding the
rights and responsibilities of federal/private loan borrowers can be obtained during the online entrance interview as well as
in the promissory note from the lending institution.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Federal Work-Study

The school participates in the Federal Work-Study Program. The Federal Work-Study Program is designed to provide jobs to
qualified students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education-related expenses. The program
encourages community service work and work related to the student’s course of study. Students are awarded Federal Work-
Study funds based on a federally prescribed formula. The school is an equal opportunity employer.

Veterans Education Benefits

The school is authorized to train students receiving Veterans Education Benefits as approved by the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Awards are determined by application with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and funding is disbursed directly to
the institution for the Post 9/11 GI Bill® and the Yellow Ribbon Program (most other Chapters disburse funding directly to
the student).

Vocational Rehabilitation Programs

Various states offer funding in the form of Vocational Training Benefits for designated applicants.

RETURN OF FEDERAL TITLE IV AID
If a federal aid (Title IV) recipient either officially or unofficially withdraws, The Los Angeles Film School (LAFS) must perform a
Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation to determine the percentage of federal aid that the student has earned for the semester
based upon the portion of the semester completed as of the withdrawal date. For official and unofficial withdrawals, the
LAFS Registrar will determine the withdrawal date that is equal to the student’s last date of attendance (LDA) using LAFS’s
attendance records. The withdrawal date is used to determine the percentage of the semester that the student completed
prior to withdrawal. This percentage is the basis of the R2T4 calculation to determine the amount of federal aid the student
earned for the semester and what must be returned or disbursed. This calculation must be performed by LAFS within 30
days of the date the institution determines that a federal aid recipient student has withdrawn.

R2T4 FORMULA

LAFS will determine the percentage of the semester completed by calculating the total number of days the student completed
in the semester by counting the number of days between the first day of the semester through the withdrawal date and
dividing that by the number of days in the semester, which is the number of days between the first and last day of the
semester. Both of these day counts shall exclude any scheduled breaks of five days or more and days on an approved leave
of absence during the semester. The resulting percentage is applied to the amount of eligible federal aid disbursed and
pending for the semester. This is the amount of federal aid earned for the semester.

For example, if the student completed 20 days of a 100-day semester, the student would earn 20% of the federal aid for that
period and the unearned 80% would need to be returned to the appropriate federal programs.

If a student withdraws on or before completing sixty percent (60%) of the semester, LAFS will return the unearned portion
of the federal aid funds awarded to the appropriate federal aid program within 45 days of the date LAFS determined the
student withdrew. If the portion of the semester completed is greater than 60 percent, the student has earned 100% of the
eligible federal aid for the semester.

INSTITUTIONAL CHARGES

LAFS is also required to apply this earning percentage to the amount of institutional charges for the semester and if the
unearned institutional charges are less than the unearned federal aid, the institution is only required to return the unearned
portion of the institutional charges. This can happen in situations where the student received excess federal aid for living
expenses or other non-institutional costs. The calculation of unearned institutional charges is different than the institution’s
tuition refund policy, which will also be calculated to determine the student’s tuition obligation. After the application of both
refund policies, the student may owe a tuition balance for charges that were originally paid by federal aid.

OVERPAYMENTS

If LAFS pays a refund based on unearned institutional charges, this is less than the unearned portion of the federal aid and
the student may owe the difference as an overpayment to the U.S. Department of Education. LAFS will notify the student
within 30 days regarding how much is owed in an overpayment, how it is to be returned, and in what timeframe. If an
overpayment is not repaid, the student will lose access to further federal aid until the overpayment is resolved.

POST-WITHDRAWAL DISBURSEMENTS

In some cases, eligible federal aid is delayed and not disbursed to the student’s account as of the withdrawal date. This can
occur for a variety of reasons, but these funds are usually included in the R2T4 calculation as “could have been disbursed”
funds. If it is determined that any of these pending funds are earned and eligible for disbursement after withdrawal, they
will be offered in writing, no later than 30 days after the date LAFS determined the student withdrew, to the student/parent
as a post-withdrawal disbursement. The student or parent must authorize the post-withdrawal disbursement of Direct

158 x
Loan funds before the funds can be posted to the student’s account. The student/parent must accept these funds within 14
days of notification. If LAFS receives confirmation from the student/parent, that they wish to receive the post-withdrawal
disbursement of loan funds, LAFS must make the post-withdrawal disbursement as soon as possible but no later than 180
days after the date LAFS determined the student withdrew. LAFS will apply all post-withdrawal disbursements to outstanding
charges on the student account first before any resulting credit balance is handled.

LAFS is permitted to credit a student’s account with the post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV grant funds to cover
current outstanding allowable charges without the student’s permission for tuition and fees. These disbursements must be
credited to the student’s account within 180 days of the date LAFS determined the student withdrew. Likewise, any post-
withdrawal disbursement of Title IV grant funds not credited towards the student’s account to cover allowable charges must
be disbursed to the student within 45 days of the date LAFS determined the student withdrew.

SPECIAL RULE FOR SEMESTERS WITH MODULES

There are special withdrawal rules for a semester that has modules (courses that do not span the entire length of the
semester). A student is not considered withdrawn for federal aid purposes if at the point of ceasing participation in the
semester, the student:

• successfully completes 49% of the days in the semester,

• earned half-time credits (6 semester credits) during the semester, or

• completes all of the program requirements and is considered a graduate

For days to count toward the 49% requirement, the student must receive a passing grade in at least one course that spans
an entire module.

If the student meets any of these conditions, the student is not considered to be withdrawn for federal aid purposes,
and all aid received for the semester is retained. If grades for the semester are not received within 30 days from the date
LAFS determines the student ceased participation, the student will be processed an R2T4 calculation. If a passing grade is
received at a subsequent point, LAFS will reevaluate the student’s withdrawn status and may reverse the R2T4 calculation
and refund payments.

Credit Balance Payments

If the student has a Title IV credit balance upon withdrawal, it will not be paid to the student until after the return to Title IV
fund calculation is performed to determine if the funds are earned. If the student’s account has a credit balance after the
completion of the R2T4 calculation, the resulting credit balance will be refunded to the student as soon as possible and no
later than 14 days after the completion of the R2T4 calculation.

REPAYMENT OF TITLE IV FUNDS

If a student withdraws and the R2T4 calculation shows that the student has been disbursed more federal aid than has been
earned through the withdrawal date, LAFS is required to return the unearned federal aid funds to the federal programs from
which the student received funds within 45 days of the date LAFS determined the student withdrew in the following order:

• Direct Unsubsidized Loan

• Direct Subsidized Loan

• Direct PLUS Loan

• Federal Pell Grants

• Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants

• FSEOG

• TEACH Grants

OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL

Students who wish to withdraw from the school must do so in writing. Students may fill out a withdrawal form in person
with the assistance of their Student Advisor (located on the 1st Floor of Building 2, 6353 Sunset Blvd.) or send written notice
by email to advising@lafilm.edu (campus students) or onlineadvising@lafilm.edu (online students) or mail to: Student
Records Department, The Los Angeles Film School, 6353 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028.

Responsibility for providing a notice of withdrawal rests entirely with the student. Any money owed to the school is due
on the effective date of the withdrawal. Refunds, if any, will be paid in accordance with the Refund Policies set forth in the
catalog and enrollment agreement. The date of determination of withdrawal will be the date the student notifies the school
of his or her intent to withdraw or the effective date indicated by the student, whichever is later. The withdrawal date will
be the date the Registrar determines as the last date of attendance using attendance records.

UNOFFICIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL

The school may withdraw students for any of the following reasons.

• Student stops attending all courses in a semester for a period of 14 days.

• Student has all unearned grades for a semester and was not withdrawn for lack of attendance.

• Student fails to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress and is not on warning, probation,
or ARP status.

• Student fails to return as scheduled from an interruption of training (IOT).

• Student fails to reconcile their financial accounts in a timely manner.

• Student fails to comply with the school’s policies, rules, and standards.

• Student violates the Student Code of Conduct.

The date of determination of withdrawal will be the date that the school withdraws the student. The withdrawal date will be
the date the Registrar determines as the last date of attendance using attendance records.

Institutional Refund Calculation

LAFS will calculate the amount of tuition and fees a student is obligated to pay when withdrawing from a semester. The
institutional/California state refund policy shall be a pro-rata refund of monies paid for institutional charges for students
who have completed 60% or less of the semester in which the student withdraws. The pro-rata percentage is based on the
number of days the student was enrolled and in attendance within the semester. There shall be no refund available to the
student if the student withdraws after completing more than 60% of the semester.

For example, if the student completed 20 days out of a 100-day semester, the student would be charged 20% of the tuition
for the semester. The student may also be charged the full cost for one-time fees, unreturned books, and equipment
received before withdrawal.

Any payments remaining on the account after any federal aid refunds due to the R2T4 calculation will be subtracted from
this adjusted balance and if a credit balance is created, it will be paid to the student or the designated Direct Loan within 45
days following the student’s withdrawal. If the student has a Title IV credit balance after the adjustment of tuition charges
for this policy, this credit balance will be paid to the student within 14 days after it is created on the student’s account.
The student may direct LAFS to return any refund due to the student to his/her outstanding Direct Loan. The student must
fill out an authorization form advising the school where they would like their refund to be sent. If no authorization form
is received, any remaining balance will be refunded to the student. In no case will the amount refunded to the assistance
program exceed the amount disbursed.

If the student owes a balance after the application of the refund policy, the student will be billed for the amount due to LAFS
and payment is due upon receipt.

CREDIT BALANCES

The school receives financial aid funds for each student in two disbursements for each academic year of study. If a student
borrows more than tuition to cover additional education-related costs, the student will be requested to sign an authorization
form to hold a federal student aid credit balance. Upon receipt of borrower’s signature on the form, the school will refund
the credit balance owed.

The school receives disbursements each semester based on packaged and guaranteed financial aid. If a student borrows
more than tuition to cover additional education costs within the confines of the Cost of Attendance (e.g., final project or
living expenses), a stipend check will be issued to the student based on the following credit balance policy: All tuition for the
semester in which a credit balance is scheduled must be received before a student can receive a stipend check. Any delays
in providing documentation to financial aid or adjustments due to verification changes may result in a delay of the stipend
check.

Due to circumstances outside the institution’s control, there are instances when a scheduled disbursement does not occur
as the result of a processing error with the lender or the Department of Education. When this happens, the funds do not
post to the student’s account on the expected date. This situation will result in a delay of the stipend check as funds must
be received in order to issue any credit balances to the student. The school will do everything possible to ensure that the
matter is resolved as quickly as possible so as not to result in a lengthy delay.

Schools must disburse credit balances to students within 14 days as a requirement of the U.S. Department of Education.
Credit balances only occur after a disbursement is made on a student account. Once funds are received, the school can
guarantee that a stipend check will be issued within 14 days between the date of disbursement to the institution and the
issuing of a stipend check to a student. We encourage students to plan accordingly.

If a student is using Direct Loans as part of their total Financial Aid package, please note that there is a 30-day waiting period
for the initial disbursement of loans to first-time borrowers (this only applies for stipends issued in the first semester of the
freshman academic year of study). Depending on the amount of funds borrowed above tuition and fees, this delay in Direct
loans will result in one of the following scenarios:

• If the projected stipend is less than the net award of Direct loan(s), there will be a delay of the entire
stipend check until federal loans have been disbursed and generated a credit balance on the student
account

• If the projected stipend is more than the net award of Direct loan(s), there will be two stipend checks
issued. The first will be based on a credit balance from funding not subject to the 30-day Direct loan
delay. The second check will be based on the additional credit balance that occurs as a result of the
Direct loan disbursement(s) following the 30-day rule.

Per U.S. Department of Education regulations, the institution is required to issue credit balances for PLUS loans directly to
the parent borrower unless we receive authorization in writing from the parent borrower (prior to loan disbursement) to
release the check to the student. Please contact Financial Aid for more information and a copy of this form. If a student does
not attend one or more terms, a stipend in a subsequent semester may be reduced based on a change in enrollment status
(this particularly impacts federal aid recipients).

For students utilizing Post-911 GI Bill® benefits and planning to use federal aid towards a credit balance on the student
account, please note the school must wait until all tuition and fees for a semester are paid for before a stipend check can
be issued. This may mean that the student will have to wait until the end of the semester before all monthly payments from
the VA have been received before a credit balance shows up on the account and a check can be processed. Additionally, the
Department of Veterans Affairs can take up to three months to issue disbursements to an institution upon certification of
attendance, which may also result in delays of any potential credit balances to the student account. We encourage all Post-
9/11 GI Bill® students to utilize their monthly MHA stipend from the Veterans Administration and budget accordingly until all
funding has been received for a semester of study.

If a student borrows a private loan to cover living expense costs, all tuition and fees for a semester must be paid before a
stipend check can be issued.

x 161
All students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to receive timely disbursements of federal financial aid and
subsequent stipend checks. Please see the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy in the Academic Policies and Procedures
section for further details.

All fees for tuition, and laptop/software package are deducted from the first stipend check. There is no option to defer these
deductions from any future disbursements. Laptop costs are non-refundable.

FINANCIAL AID PENALTIES FOR DRUG LAW VIOLATIONS

Students are advised that a conviction for any offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of
illegal drugs during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving Title IV program funds will result in the loss
of eligibility for any Title IV, HEA great, loan, or work-study assistance.

GENERAL DISCLOSURE

At the time of this printing, The Los Angeles Film School does not have a pending petition in bankruptcy, is not operating as
a debtor in possession, has not filed a petition within the preceding five years, and does not have a bankruptcy filed against
it that resulted in reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 1101 et seq).

MILITARY & VETERAN STUDENTS

their education in the field of entertainment and media arts. We offer:

• Military advisors who understand the culture and lingo

• Yellow Ribbon tuition contributions with no maximum cap

EDUCATION BENEFIT PROGRAMS

In some cases, military educational benefits will not cover the entire cost of tuition. All military students with a gap in tuition
will need to secure their enrollment in congruence with school policies prior to starting class. Veteran students applying for
military benefits are encouraged to speak with a military benefits advisor at The Los Angeles Film School prior to enrolling
for any benefit. To do so, please call or send an email to military@lafilm.edu.

MILITARY TUITION ASSISTANCE

Eligibility and the amount of active-duty or reserve tuition assistance is determined by the branch of service. Students
must independently apply for tuition assistance through their command/on base. Tuition assistance is paid directly to the
institution.

162 x
TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY

Students using Veterans Affairs benefits are required to submit transcripts from all prior colleges or universities attended for
evaluation. The Veterans Affairs Department will not pay for any courses that were completed at a prior school. Students are
therefore encouraged to submit transcripts as early as possible in the admissions process. The school will certify Veterans
Affairs benefits through a student’s first academic year until prior transcripts are received. However, if the school accepts
transfer credit for any coursework completed at the school prior to receiving a student’s transcripts, the student will be
responsible for the tuition costs and will be required to repay all MHA (Monthly Housing Allowance) received for those courses.

CHAPTER 30, THE MONTGOMERY GI BILL – ACTIVE DUTY ®

BENEFIT RECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Veterans receiving VA funding for any portion of their program are responsible to directly notify the campus certifying
official or military benefits advisor of any change of status in their program to include:

• Transferring credits to program from another institution

• Testing out of a class

• Receipt of a failing grade for an entire class

• Modifications to the original program sequence as outlined in the catalog

• Benefit eligibility changes, Active Duty separation

• Course Withdrawal, Interruption of Training (IOT)

• Change of program

• Exiting the program

Students are expected to contact the military benefits advisor by visiting in person, speaking with them over the telephone,
or emailing: military@lafilm.edu. Failure to communicate program changes may cause overpayment or underpayment of
tuition and/or fees, which may result in a balance due to the school and a debt with the VA for ineligible MHA.

VA REFUND POLICY

The school complies with the Department of Veteran Affairs standards. Refer to the institutional refund policy (outlined
in the Cancellation, Withdrawal & Refund Policies section). Tuition and fee payments found to be ineligible or an
overpayment by the VA due to student academic/program changes, withdrawal/IOT, or benefit eligibility changes will be
considered a school debt with the VA. The school would be required to return any funds considered as a debt by the VA. If
the return of such funds creates a balance on the student’s account, the student will be responsible for covering the balance.
Students may also have a debt with the VA for MHA payments received that the VA determines to be ineligible and or an
overpayment.

VA STUDENT ACADEMIC UNSATISFACTORY PROGRESS DEBT ACCRUAL

In situations in which a class is not satisfactorily completed due to attendance, the VA reserves the right to debt the student
for MHA and debt the school for tuition and fee payments received. If the school is required to return funds received for
tuition and fees and it creates a balance on the student’s account, the student will be responsible for covering the balance.
Students may retake a course one time without paying additional tuition or retake fees. Although students will not be charged
additional tuition for the first retake of a course, the retake will be counted as days attended for purposes of calculating the
percentage of tuition owed if students withdraw prior to graduation. Students who fail the first retake of a course will be
charged the full tuition rate for each attempt thereafter. Such retake fees will not be covered by VA educational benefits and
the student will be responsible for the cost

CHANGE OF STATUS

Students who neglect to inform the military benefits advisor of a change of status in program and or benefit eligibility may
experience delays in receiving their MHA or a balance with the school. In order to assist students in this situation, we highly
suggest students immediately notify the military benefits department of any academic/program changes and share any paper
correspondence from the VA that may detail benefit changes with the campus certifying official/military benefits advisor.

164 x
VA SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

The school complies with the Department of Veteran Affairs standards. Refer to the institution’s Satisfactory Academic
Progress policy (outlined in the Academic Policies and Procedures section).

BREAK PAY

The VA does not pay MHA during school breaks.

MILITARY LEAVE POLICY

The school may grant more than one interruption of training (IOT) in the event that unforeseen circumstances arise, such
as military service requirements, provided that any combined leaves of absence do not exceed 90 days within a 12-month
period. However, students who are issued military orders should communicate their obligation and activation dates as soon
as possible to both the Student Services and Military Benefits Departments.

The period of the leave may not begin until the student has acknowledged the following:

• An IOT may not exceed 90 days within any 12-month period and the school has approved a written
and signed request.

• A military-service-related interruption of training (IOT) request that extends beyond 90 days must be
accompanied with orders.

• All school equipment loaned out to the student taking leave will need to be returned to the Equipment
Room (ER) before the IOT is granted.

• Re-entry into the program of study requires that students check back into school through the Student
Services Department to coordinate scheduling and be directed to the appropriate departments to
include the Military Benefits Department to reinstate program funding.

Upon submitting travel vouchers within the 90-day time frame and one month within the date on the approved travel
voucher, military students will not be required to pay re-take fees for classes dropped due to the call to service using grants,
VA monies, or cash.

Further, military students will not be charged tuition for classes not yet taken. Official orders are required for consideration
for an extended IOT beyond 90 days but not to exceed 180 days within a 12-month period. Failure to return to school within
the 90-day time frame that is a result of extended military service leave will require approved military travel orders with no
longer than one month between the military approval date and the reinstatement date.

Every consideration to use existing credits will be exercised; however, extended absences may result in retakes or new
classes that are part of a revised curriculum and will subject students to review by the Program Director.

PENDING VA PAYMENT COMPLIANCE

In accordance with Title 38 U.S. Code § 3679 subsection (e), while payment is pending from the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) for Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Ch. 33) or Veteran Readiness and Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, the school
will not:

• Prevent the student’s enrollment

• Assess a late penalty fee to the student

• Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding

• Deny the student access to any resources (access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities)
available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution

x 165
To qualify for this provision, students will be required to:

• Produce the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) by the first day of class

• Provide a written request to be certified

• Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other
institutional policies

CAREER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Career Development’s mission is to provide the assistance and resources that will support students and graduates as
they navigate the challenging path to creating and sustaining a successful career. The keys to unlocking and managing
a career in the entertainment industry are research, networking, preparation, professionalism, and staying current with
industry practices and trends. The Career Development Department works with students and graduates to equip them
with interpersonal and professional skills, support their vocational goals, and help to bridge the gap between academia
and the workplace. Even though LAFS makes a reasonable effort to assist each graduate in seeking employment, this in no
way constitutes a promise or guarantee of employment. Career assistance may be suspended in the event that a student or
graduate’s financial commitments are not met or if the student or graduate displays unprofessional behavior.

Career Development services include the following:

• 24/7 online portal, CareerConnect (careers.lafilm.edu)

• Career advisement

• Resume and interview prep

• Internship and job search

• Employer presentations and on-campus interviews

• Alumni Association

Career Development Advisors are located on the 6th floor of Building 2 (6353 Sunset Blvd.) and are available by appointment
in person, by phone, or via Zoom to assist students during weekday hours (Monday through Friday, 9:30am to 5:30pm PT). For
more information, Career Development is reachable via phone at 323.769.2716.

LIBRARY RESOURCES & SERVICES

The Los Angeles Film School Library seeks to provide the LAFS community with the best possible resources and environment
for research and support. The primary objective of the library is to provide direct support for the educational mission of the
school by selecting and organizing current and relevant books, media, screenplays, journals, and digital resources; to assist
students and faculty in locating and retrieving information effectively; and to assist in the educational and professional
development of students.

The LAFS Library is on the 5th floor of Building 1 (6363 Sunset Blvd.), which is open to the LAFS Community. Most materials
can be checked out by current students and staff with a valid school identification card. Patrons can use the library space for
study, computers, equipment, printer, scanner, and such. In addition, patrons will have access to the digital catalog, Koha,

170 x
to locate materials and be able to read or view them online. The library’s wide variety of databases can also be helpful for
patrons when searching for digital items. These databases include EBSCO, ProQuest, Kanopy, LinkedIn Learning, Luminate
Data, Hit Songs Deconstructed, and more. In addition, the LAFS Library provides guides on how to cite sources, conduct
research, and access resources.

For additional information, please visit the LAFS Library’s website at library.lafilm.edu.

ONLINE TECH SUPPORT

The school has an online support helpdesk that is available 7 days a week from 6:00AM to 12:00 midnight PT to assist
students if they experience technical difficulties accessing their online courses or course materials. Students may contact
the online technical support desk by email at onlinesupport@lafilm.edu or by phone at 844.FIX.FILM (844.349.3456).

SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

The school is committed to providing equal access to all students, including those who qualify as persons with disabilities.
While upholding this commitment, the school also expects all students to maintain the high standards of academic
achievement and excellence that are essential to the integrity of the school’s mission. By advancing these aims, the school
ensures that its policies, practices, and procedures conform to federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. Provide
written documentation to the Student Disability Services Coordinator regarding the nature of your disability and any
considerations/accommodations that may be necessary.

Such documentation must:

1. Be from an appropriate professional,

2. be current when applicable (the age of the acceptable documentation is dependent upon the disabling
condition), and

3. provide a clear understanding of how the student is presently functioning.

The school’s confidentiality policy provides that only the appropriate school personnel access this information and it is stored
in separate, confidential files. Except in instances of health or safety, information concerning the disability, accommodations,
or documentation will not be released without written consent.

Provide ample time when requesting a reasonable accommodation(s). Requests must be evaluated and arrangements made
prior to the anticipated need for service/support. The school cannot guarantee that appropriate accommodations/services
can be put in place without sufficient lead-time to make arrangements. Whenever possible, please provide at least 60
days’ advance notice. The Student Disability Services Coordinator makes determinations of reasonable accommodations for
students with disabilities.

POLICY REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Los Angeles Film School, LLC is committed to making reasonable modifications in policies, practices, and procedures to permit
the use of service animals by persons with disabilities. Service animals play an important role in ensuring the independence
of people with disabilities, and it is therefore our policy to welcome into our facility any animal that is individually trained
to assist a person with a disability.

What Is a Service Animal?

Service animals include any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities,
including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Service animals do not always have a
harness, a sign, or a symbol indicating that they are service animals. A service animal is not a pet. Service animals assist
people with disabilities in many different ways, such as:

• Guiding people who are blind or have low vision and retrieving dropped objects for them;

• Alerting people who are deaf or hard of hearing to sounds and the presence of others;
• Carrying and picking up items, opening doors, or flipping switches for people with disabilities who
have limited use of hands or arms, limited use of their legs, or limited ability to bend or stoop;

• Pulling wheelchairs;
• Alerting people with disabilities to the onset of medical conditions such as seizures, protecting them
and cushioning them if they fall, reviving them, and performing other tasks that reduce the risk of
disability-related injury;

• Doing work or performing tasks for persons with traumatic brain injury, intellectual disabilities, or
psychiatric disabilities, such as reminding a person with depression to take medication or waking them
up, alerting a person with anxiety to the onset of panic attacks, orienting people with schizophrenia
to reality, and helping people with intellectual or cognitive disabilities to locate misplaced items, find
places, or follow daily routines; and

• Providing physical support and assisting people with physical disabilities with stability and balance.

Requirements with Regard to Service Animals:

Most of the time, people with disabilities who use service animals may be easily identified without any need for questioning.
If we can tell by looking, it is our policy not to make an individual feel unwelcome by asking questions. If we are unsure
whether an animal meets the definition of a service animal, it is our policy to ask the individual only two questions:

• Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?

• What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

If the individual says yes to the first question and explains the work or tasks that the animal is trained to perform, we will
welcome the person and service animal into The Los Angeles Film School without asking any additional questions about his
or her service animal. We will not ask an individual questions about his or her disability.

We will not ask an individual to show a license, certification, or special ID card as proof of the animal’s training. We must
permit service animals to accompany individuals with disabilities to all areas of our facility normally used by students,
guests, or other members of the public and will treat individuals with service animals with the same courtesy and respect
that The Los Angeles Film School affords to all of our students and guests.

172 x
Since a service animal is not a pet, individuals with disabilities may not be asked to pay any extra deposits, fees, or other
charges because they are accompanied by service animals. Deposits, fees, or other charges that are normally required for
pets do not apply to service animals.

Please handle any inquiries or complaints about this policy in accordance with our usual procedures by contacting the
Compliance Office. Phone: 323.769.2280. Email: compliance@lafilm.edu

POLICIES & PROCEDURE
x 175
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
The Los Angeles Film School values the rights of expression pertaining to the teaching and research of its faculty. The school
guarantees academic freedom in the classroom within the parameters of its mission and academic policies and procedures
as approved by its applicable licensing and accrediting agencies. The faculty will be afforded freedom in the classroom to
express professional points of view and conclusions supported by relevant evidence.

ACCESS TO ONLINE COURSE MATERIALS

The Institution shall give the student access to the online learning platform and the first lesson and any materials to any
student within seven days after the institution accepts the student for admission.

The institution shall transmit all of the lessons and other materials to the student if the student:

A. has fully paid for the educational program, and

B. after having received the first lesson and initial materials, requests in writing that all of the material
be sent.

C. If an institution transmits the balance of the material as the student requests, the institution shall
remain obligated to provide the other educational services it agreed to provide, such as responses to
student inquiries, student and faculty interaction, and evaluation and comment on lessons submitted
by the student, but shall not be obligated to pay any refund after all of the lessons and material are
transmitted.

ADVANCEMENT
An academic year consists of 32 weeks of instruction. In order to advance to the next grade level (freshman to sophomore,
etc.), students must earn a minimum of 24 semester credits during that academic year.

ANTI-HAZING POLICY
Hazing is any action taken or situation created intentionally that causes embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule and that
risks emotional and/or physical harm to members of a group regardless of the individual’s willingness to participate. The
school does not allow hazing for any reason whatsoever. Students engaging in any potentially harmful activities will be
disciplined and may be subject to suspension or termination pursuant to the Student Code of Conduct.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES
CAMPUS PROGRAMS AND COURSES
Regular class attendance and lab participation are two of the most significant factors for academic success. Students are
expected to attend classes and lab sessions unless prevented by illness or emergency. Most courses have a minimum
number or percentage of class hours that students must attend in order to earn a passing grade. This information is
provided to the students in the syllabus received on the first day of those classes.

Students who do not attend any scheduled classes for fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days will be administratively
withdrawn from the school.

176 x
ONLINE PROGRAMS AND COURSES

Students must actively participate within their online community to receive an authentic learning experience. Student
attendance in online courses is defined as participation as active participation in an instructional activity related to the
student’s course of study. Online courses have weekly activities for student participation. For attendance purposes, simply
logging into an online class does not count toward attendance.

Students who fail to participate in an academically related activity for fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days
will be withdrawn from their course(s). If students are withdrawn from all courses in the same term, they will be
administratively withdrawn from the school.

CAMPUS SECURITY
It is essential that all security incidents occurring on campus or in its vicinity be reported to uniformed security personnel.
Security incidents include criminal activity of all types; incidents that result in injury to a student, faculty, or staff members;
incidents that result in damage to school equipment or facilities other than equipment or facilities used as part of the
instruction; all losses of personal property; suspicious individuals on campus; persons on campus apparently under the
influence of an intoxicating substance; and any dangerous situations or activities likely to result in personal injury or
property damage.

All students are required to wear their student ID on a school-issued lanyard at all times when on campus. This is critical
to maintaining a safe, secure, and comfortable learning environment. Students without ID will not be admitted to classes
or labs and must obtain a temporary ID from the Security/Reception Desk. It is advised that students keep their personal
belongings with them at all times.

Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC § 1092(f)) requires colleges and universities across the United States
to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. This report is prepared in cooperation with the Police
agencies surrounding our campus facilities.

This report is available for all reporting school on the web at ope.ed.gov/campussafety. Los Angeles Film School’s current
Campus Safety & Security Handbook may be reviewed at www.lafilm.edu/campus-safety. Hard copies of this report may
be obtained from the Student Records Department.

CHILDREN ON CAMPUS
The primary mission of The Los Angeles Film School is to educate students. To that end, LAFS has the responsibility to
provide a place of instruction that is free from distractions and conducive to learning. LAFS and its facilities (classrooms,
offices, public and common areas) cannot be viewed at any time as a substitute for childcare arrangements.

Children are not allowed in school facilities except for brief visits when the child is accompanied by an adult. The term “Child/
Children” refers to an individual(s) who has not yet reached eighteen (18) years of age. Students may not allow children to be
left unattended anywhere on campus even for a short period of time. Children are not allowed in classrooms, labs, studios,
or production stages. Students are not allowed to bring children with them to class or to class activities regardless of where
the class is held.

x 177
CLASS SCHEDULE
Campus-based classes are taught seven (7) days a week between the hours of 7:00am until midnight PT. Students should
expect to be in classes at least 20–25 hours a week on a schedule that changes every four (4) weeks. Students will be notified
of the class schedule (meeting time and location) via their student email account and posted in their student portal at least
seven (7) days prior to the start of each term.

Students enrolled in online courses may access their courses, course materials and assignments at any hour and day they
choose, provided they meet all assignment deadlines. LAFS reserves the right to adjust the order of courses and program
content, staff, or materials on a course-by-course basis as needed.

CLASS SIZE
For courses on campus, the average student-to-instructor ratio in lab settings will vary from 8 to 24 students per instructor
depending on the type of equipment and nature of the exercises. The average student-to-instructor ratio in lectures will
vary from 24 to 45 students per instructor. For online courses, the average student-to-instructor ratio in an online section
is 25 students per instructor.

CLOCK HOUR TO CREDIT HOUR CONVERSION

The Los Angeles Film School utilizes the following definition of a credit hour to determine how credits are awarded in its
courses and programs and to ensure that the assignment of credit hours conforms to commonly accepted practices in
higher education. One “clock hour” is defined as a period of no less than 50 minutes during which a student participates in a
learning activity. The conversion of clock hours to credit hours is calculated on a semester credit hour basis. One semester
credit hour is equal to 45 units of academic activities, which can include a combination of didactic, supervised laboratory,
and out-of-class independent or group work. The combination of each type of learning varies according to the nature of the
course.

• One clock hour of didactic learning is valued at 2.0 units.

• One clock hour of supervised laboratory learning is valued at 1.5 units.

• One clock hour of out-of-class independent or group work is valued at 0.5 units.

traditional textbooks, custom course manuals created by the faculty, professional training materials, and online learning
resources provide access to a wide range of information

Additional resources are available in the Library.

COURSE RETAKE POLICY

Students may retake a course one time without paying additional tuition or retake fees. Although students will not be
charged additional tuition for the first retake of a course, the retake will be counted as days attended for purposes of
calculating the percentage of tuition owed if students withdraw prior to graduation. Students who fail the first retake of a
course will be charged the full tuition rate for each attempt thereafter.

CREDITS ATTEMPTED & COMPLETED

Credits attempted are defined as all classes for which a student receives a passing grade, or an “F,” “I,” “WP,” “WF,” or “P.”
Credits completed are defined as all classes for which a student receives a passing grade of “D” or better.

DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS &

COMMUNITIES ACT STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Students who violate the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Standards of Conduct subject themselves to disciplinary
action, which may include probation or termination. Students are subject to periodic testing in the event there is a reasonable
suspicion of alcohol or drug use.

Reasonable suspicion may emanate from a variety of circumstances including, but not limited to:

• Direct observation of alcohol or drug use

• Physical or behavioral symptoms

• Abnormal or erratic behavior

x 179
 • Marked changes in behavior

• Evidence of drug or alcohol possession on the premises

A refusal to be tested, or tampering with a test, will be interpreted the same as a positive result. A positive test result will

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS & PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (“FERPA”) sets out requirements designed to afford
students certain rights with respect to their education records. In addition, it limits information the school may disclose to
third parties without receiving prior written consent from the student.

PROCEDURE TO OBTAIN EDUCATION RECORDS

Students have the right under FERPA to inspect and review their education records. A student who wishes to inspect and
review his/her records should submit a written request to the Student Records Department.

The request should identify as precisely as possible the records the student wishes to inspect. If the requested records are
subject to inspection and review by the student, arrangements for access will be made within a reasonable period of time
but in no case more than 45 days after the request was made, and the student will be notified of the time and place where
the records may be inspected. The school may require the presence of a school official during the inspection and review of
a student’s records.

180 x
The term “education record” does not include certain types of records such as, by way of example, records of instructional,
supervisory, administrative, and certain educational personnel that are in the sole possession of the maker thereof and
are not accessible or revealed to any other individual except a substitute. When a record contains personally identifiable
information about more than one student, the student may inspect and review only the information that relates to him/her
personally.

DISCLOSURE OF EDUCATIONAL RECORDS

The school generally will not permit disclosure of personally identifiable information from the records of a student without
prior written consent of the student.

Personally identifiable information is disclosed (some items are mandatory, some discretionary) from the records of
a student without that student’s prior written consent to the following individuals or institutions or in the following
circumstances:

1. To school officials who have legitimate educational interests in the records. A school official is:

A. a person employed by The Los Angeles Film School or its corporate parent in an administrative ,
supervisory , academic or research , or support staff position . This includes, but is not limited to human
resources and accounting staff ; or

B. a person employed by or under contract with the school to perform specific tasks , such as an
auditor , consultant , or attorney , a person on the Board of Managers, or a student assisting
another school official .
Any school official who needs information about a student in the course
of performing instructional , supervisory , advisory , or administrative duties has a legitimate
educational interest .

2. To certain officials of the United States Department of Education, the Comptroller General of the
United States, the Attorney General of the United States, and state and local educational authorities
in connection with state or federally supported educational programs.

3. In connection with the student’s request for, or receipt of, financial aid necessary to determine the
eligibility, amounts or conditions of financial aid, or to enforce the terms and conditions of the aid.

4. To organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school.

5. To accrediting commissions or state licensing or regulatory bodies to carry out their functions.

6. To parents of a dependent student, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code.

7. To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena.

8. To appropriate parties in health or safety emergencies.

9. To an alleged victim of a crime of violence or a non-forcible sexual offense, the final results of the
disciplinary proceedings conducted by the school against the alleged perpetrator of that crime or
offense with respect to that crime or offense.

10. To persons in addition to the victim of a crime of violence or non-forcible sexual offense, the final
results of the disciplinary proceedings described in paragraph 9 above but only if the school has
determined that a student is the perpetrator of a crime of violence or non-forcible sexual offense, and
with respect to the allegation made against him or her, the student has committed a violation of the
school’s rules or policies. In such instances, the school may only disclose the name of the perpetrator
— not the name of any other student, including a victim or witness — without the prior written consent
of the other student(s). Both the accuser and the accused must be informed of the outcome of any
institutional disciplinary proceeding brought alleging a sex offense. Compliance with this paragraph
does not constitute a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g). For
the purpose of this paragraph, the outcome of a disciplinary proceeding means only the institution’s
final determination with respect to the alleged sex offense and any sanction that is imposed against
the accused.

11. To a parent regarding the student’s violation of any federal, state, or local law or of any rules or

x 181
 policy of the school governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance if the
school determines that the student has committed a disciplinary violation with respect to that use or
possession, and the student is under 21 at the time of the disclosure to the parent.

12. Directory information (see here).

RECORD OF REQUESTS FOR DISCLOSURE

Except with respect to those requests made by the student themselves, those disclosures made with the written consent
of the student, or to requests by or disclosures to school officials with legitimate educational interests and disclosures
of directory information (or other exceptions described in the applicable regulations), the school will maintain a record
indicating the parties who have requested or obtained personally identifiable information from a student’s education
records and the legitimate interests those parties had in requesting or obtaining the information.

This record may be inspected by the student.

DIRECTORY INFORMATION

The school designates the following information as directory information. (Directory information is personally identifiable
information that may be disclosed without the student’s consent):

1. Student’s name

2. Address: Local, email, and website

3. Telephone number (local)

4. Date and place of birth

5. Program of study

6. Participation in officially recognized activities

7. Dates of attendance

8. Degrees and certificates awarded

9. Most recent previously attended school

10. Photograph of the student, if available

11. Enrollment status (i.e., enrolled, continuing, future enrolled student, re-entry, leave of absence, etc.)
12. Student honors and awards received

Notice of these categories and of the right of an individual in attendance at the school to request that his/her directory
information be kept confidential will be given to the student annually.

Students may request nondisclosure of student directory information by specifying nondisclosure, in writing, to the Student
Records Department, The Los Angeles Film School, 6353 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028.

CORRECTION OF EDUCATIONAL RECORDS

Students have the right under FERPA to ask to have records corrected which they believe are inaccurate, misleading, or in
violation of their privacy rights.

182 x
The following are the procedures for the correction of records:

1. A student must ask the V.P. of Education to amend a record. As part of the request, the student
should identify the part of the record they want to have changed and specify why they believe it to be
inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of his/her privacy rights.

2. The school may either amend the record or decide not to amend the record. If it decides not to amend
the record, it will notify the student of its decision and advise the student of the right to a hearing to
challenge the information believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student’s privacy
rights.

3. Upon request, the school will arrange for a hearing and notify the student reasonably in advance of
the date, place, and time of the hearing. The hearing will be conducted by an individual who does not
have a direct interest in the outcome of the hearing. That individual may be an official of the school.
The student shall be afforded a forum for the opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues
raised in the original request to amend the student’s education records.

4. The school will prepare a written decision based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing. The
decision will include a summary of the evidence, and the reasons for the decision.

5. If, as a result of the hearing, the school decides that the information is inaccurate, misleading, or
otherwise in violation of the privacy rights of the student, it will:

A. amend the record accordingly , and

B. inform the student of the amendment in writing .

6. If, as a result of the hearing, the school decides that the information in the education record is not
inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy rights of the student, it shall inform the
student of the right to place a statement in the record commenting on the contested information in
the record or stating why he or she disagrees with the decision of the school.

7. If a statement is placed in the education records of a student under paragraph 6 above, the school will
maintain the statement with the contested part of the record for as long as the record is maintained
and disclose the statement whenever it discloses the portion of the record to which the statement
relates.

STUDENT RIGHT TO FILE COMPLAINT

A student has the right to file a complaint with the United States Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the
school to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

The name and address of the governmental office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office, United States Department of Education

400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605

GRADE SYSTEM
The school uses a standard 4.0 scale to calculate grade point averages.

LETTER GRADE POINT VALUE NUMERIC SCORE

A+ 4.0 (HONORS) 98–100

A 4.0 94–97
A- 3.7 90–93
B+ 3.3 87–89
B 3.0 84–86
B- 2.7 80–83
C+ 2.3 77–79
C 2.0 74–76
C- 1.7 70–73
D+ 1.3 67–69
D 1.0 60–66
F 0.0 0–59
P N/A PROFICIENT

Grades will not be rounded until the final grade. To calculate the final grade percentage, the final total points are divided by
the total points available for the course. If the final percentage is less than a whole number, the following rules are utilized
to determine the score by a whole number:

• When the number is .50 or greater, the score is rounded to the next highest number. (i.e., 79.50 = 80)

• When the number is .49 or less, the score is rounded to the next lowest number. (i.e., 92.49 = 92)

Other letter grades:

CR PRIOR CREDIT EARNED Not included in GPA but does count as Credits Earned and Attempted

Grade awarded if student withdraws from a course after 60% of the term.
WF WITHDRAWN FAILING
Included in GPA calculation and count as credits attempted.

Expected Graduation Date: All course withdrawals (W, WP, WF Grades), course incompletion (I Grade), and course failures
(F, FA grades) will impact the expected graduation date.

Students will receive an email notification when the graduation date is impacted as a result of a course withdrawal, a course
incompletion, or a course failure. Once the course retake has been scheduled, students will be able to access the updated
graduation date on the student portal.

Grades are posted on the student portal at cvportal.lafilm.edu in week 2 of the following term.

184 x
PASS/FAIL GRADING POLICY

Students may request to take up to 15 credit hours on a Pass/Fail basis. Requests must be submitted before the end of the
course term. Grades of A+ through D will be converted to a P (Pass). A passing grade (P) will count toward degree program
requirements but will not be used in calculating the student’s GPA (i.e., will have no positive or negative impact on the GPA).
A (F) failing grade is treated the same as any other F grade (i.e., the credits are included in SAP calculation and will have a
negative impact on GPA). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the credit hour limitation and deadlines for converting a passing
grade of D or higher to a P (Pass) grade have been waived for any courses taken during the April 2020 through the February
2021 terms.

GRADE APPEALS
Faculty members are responsible for clearly stating the instructional objectives of the course at the beginning of each term
and for evaluating student achievement in a manner consistent with the stated objectives. Students are responsible for
maintaining standards of academic performance established in the syllabus for each course in which they are enrolled.
The grade appeal procedure provides a formal process for students to request a review of final grades that they think were
incorrectly awarded.

The burden of proof rests with the student to demonstrate that the grade assigned for the course was made on the basis
of any of the following conditions:

• A grading decision was made on some basis other than performance and other than as a penalty for
academic dishonesty.

• A grading decision was based on standards unreasonably different from those that were applied to
other students.

• A grading decision was based on a substantial, unreasonable, or unannounced departure from the
course objectives and assignments.

The student must submit a grade appeal, in writing, to the course instructor who issued the grade no later than 14 calendar
days after the grade is posted and available for the student to see through their student portal account. If, after subsequent
consultation with the course instructor, the student is not satisfied and wishes to pursue the issue, or if the instructor is
not available or does not respond within 7 days, the student should submit the appeal in writing to the Program Director.
Documentation supporting the grade change based on the appropriate category set forth above is to be submitted with the
appeal.

If no appeal is filed within this time period, the grade shall be considered final. The Program Director will discuss the matter
with the student and with the course instructor, arrive at a decision, and will document the appeal and the Director’s
response.

This decision is final.

The school does not endorse or make any warranty as to the accuracy or usefulness of these websites. The websites are
provided solely for informational purposes. In addition, the school can assist in providing roommate options if that is the
desired route to take.

INTERRUPTION OF TRAINING
In extenuating circumstances, students may apply for an Interruption in Training (IOT) from their program. Students must
submit the request in writing prior and it must be approved by the school prior to taking an IOT. The maximum time allowed
for an IOT is 90 days in a 12-month period. Students on an IOT are not allowed to access campus facilities or equipment and
are not eligible to receive financial aid disbursements. Students who fail to resume their courses at the end of an IOT will be
administratively withdrawn from their program.

The school does not offer English language services such as translators or ESL classes.

LOCATION WHERE INSTRUCTION WILL BE PROVIDED

Lecture classes, lab classes, and other educational activities are held at instructional locations in Hollywood, California: 6363
Sunset Boulevard, 6353 Sunset Boulevard, 1605 North Ivar Avenue, and 6690 Sunset Boulevard.

In a hybrid class, academic technology is used to structure remote activities. Online degree programs and courses are
delivered over our Learning Management System (LMS), which is a secure web-based platform that employs modern

186 x
multimedia technologies and is accessible 24 hours a day via the Internet. Online students use this system to view video
content, receive and submit project work and assignments, take tests and quizzes, communicate with instructors and
classmates, and review grades and course progress. Online faculty are also available via email and telephone, and they
provide contact information and virtual office hours information each term within the course information on the LMS.

MAKEUP WORK POLICY

The school recognizes that there are a variety of legitimate circumstances under which students will miss coursework, and
that accommodations for makeup work will be made. The following policy applies to all course requirements, including final
examinations.

1. Students are responsible for planning their schedules to avoid excessive conflict with course
requirements.

2. Instructors may not penalize students for absence during the academic term due to unavoidable or
legitimate circumstances. Such circumstances include:

A. illness , physical or mental , of the student or his or her dependent ;

B. medical conditions related to pregnancy ;

C. subpoenas ;

D. jury duty ;

E. military service ;

F. bereavement , including travel related to bereavement ;

G. religious observances

3. For circumstances not listed in (2), the instructor has primary responsibility to decide on a case by-case
basis if an absence is due to unavoidable or legitimate circumstances. Instructors have the discretion
to grant a request for makeup work in such circumstances.

4. Students must notify their instructors of circumstances identified in (2) or other circumstances leading
to a request for makeup work as soon as possible and provide information to explain the absence.
Some situations will be sufficiently urgent that arrangements for makeup work cannot be made prior
to the date of an absence. In such cases, arrangements should be made as soon as possible following
the student’s return.

5. The instructor may not penalize the student and must provide reasonable and timely accommodation
or opportunity to make up missed work, including exams or other course requirements that have
an impact on the course grade if the student was absent due to circumstances identified in (2) and
complied with the notification requirements.

6. Instructors are not obligated to accommodate a student who has missed so much of the critical
components of a course, even for legitimate reasons, that arrangements for makeup work would not
be reasonable.

Instructors should take all factors into consideration when determining whether to grant an excused absence and how to
make arrangements for makeup work that has an impact on the course grade. If a student has missed a component of the
course that cannot be made up in exactly the same manner, the instructor may substitute another activity or assignment in
order to assess the missed components.

x 187
MAXIMUM TIME FRAME FOR
PROGRAM COMPLETION / CREDIT STANDARD
Students are expected to complete degree requirements after attempting a certain number of credits. The maximum
attempted credits allowed for degree completion will be up to 150% of the credits needed to complete that degree.

ONLINE STUDENT ACCESS TO CAMPUS

Online students who are in an active status and enrolled in courses may access the campus library during normal business
hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm PT). Students must present a valid government issued I.D. to be permitted
on campus. Campus tours are available for students, Monday through Friday during business hours and can be scheduled
through the lafilm.edu website.

Online students are not permitted to book studios and production stages or check-out equipment from the campus.

RE-ENTRY
Students that were administratively withdrawn for non-attendance who wish to return to school must submit a written
request for re-entry. Students who had a cumulative GPA below a 2.0 at the time they were withdrawn must submit an
appeal to the Financial Aid Appeal Committee, which may approve or deny the request for re-entry in their sole discretion.
Re-entry students will be conditionally re-enrolled and must successfully pass their first course with a grade of “C” or higher
in order to be approved for readmission. Students will receive academic and financial credit for any courses previously
completed that are still offered in the program at the time of re-entry. Any balance of tuition must be paid prior to re-entry.

RESPONSE TIMES FOR ONLINE PROGRAMS

Students enrolled in online degree programs will be provided access to their course materials through the online Learning
Management System (LMS) on the first day of the course.

Students will submit their assignments, projects, and assessments through the LMS. Students will receive a response
within approximately three (3) days following submission, and students will receive their final grade for the course within
approximately fourteen (14) days of the end of the term. Online instructors are expected to respond to student questions
within 24 hours if submitted Monday through Friday, and by Monday if submitted on Saturday/Sunday.

Students may view grades for individual assignments and tests via the Learning Management System by clicking on the
individual activity title. Final grades for each course are posted 14 days following the end of each monthly term and are
available for the student to view on the student’s CampusVue Portal account

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

All students will have their qualitative and quantitative academic progress measured at the end of each completed semester.
This process is known as the assessment of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). This process applies to all Los Angeles
Film School students regardless of Title IV eligibility/recipient status. This process also applies to all enrolled students in any
program regardless of enrollment status — full time or part time.

To be in good SAP standing and maintain eligibility for financial aid, a student must meet the following minimum standards
of progress at each evaluation point, which is the end of each semester or the end of every fourth monthly term.

188 x
Cumulative Grade Point Average

Students must meet a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at each evaluation point:

• For evaluations up to 24% of the program length in attempted credits, achieve a CGPA of 1.0;

• For evaluations between 25% and 49% of the program length in attempted credits,
achieve a CGPA of 1.5; and

• For evaluations at or after 50% of the program length in attempted credits, achieve a CGPA of a 2.0

Rate of Progress (ROP) toward Completion of the Program

Students must progress at a satisfactory rate toward completion of the program within the maximum permissible timeframe
to complete the program as defined in this policy. Furthermore, students must achieve the following ROP:

• For evaluations up to 24% of the program length in attempted credits,

achieve an ROP of 50%;

• For evaluations between 25% and 49% of the program length in attempted credits,
achieve a cumulative ROP of 55%;

• For evaluations between 50% and 74% of the program length in attempted credits,
achieve a cumulative ROP of 60%; and

• For evaluations at or after 75% or more of the program length in attempted credits,
achieve a cumulative ROP of 66.67%.

A student’s ROP is calculated by dividing the number of credits earned by the number of credits attempted as defined in the
SAP Treatment of Grades section of this SAP policy.

Maximum Program Completion Timeframe (MTF)

Students must complete their program within a maximum timeframe of 150% of the published length of the program
as calculated in credits attempted. For example, a student enrolled in a 60-semester credit program must complete the
program in a maximum timeframe of 90 attempted semester credits. If, at any point, the institution determines it will be
mathematically impossible for a student to complete his/her program within the maximum timeframe, the student will be
deemed to not be making satisfactory progress and the student’s financial aid will be suspended.

Rounding Rules

For the purposes of calculating each SAP measurement, the school calculates the percentage to the hundredth decimal
place. This means if the resulting percentage from this calculation is a .005 to .009, the percentage will be rounded up
to .01 and down to .00 if the calculation results in a .001 to .004. For example, if a student attempts 110 credits but only
successfully earns 75 of those credits, the ROP would be 68.181 and rounded down to 68.18%, and a cumulative GPA of
3.578 will be rounded to 3.58.

CONSEQUENCES FOR FAILING TO MEET SAP REQUIREMENTS

WARNING
Students not meeting any of the SAP requirements after being in good SAP standing will be placed on SAP Warning for
the following semester and will be notified of this status through their student email account. Students are still eligible to
receive financial aid while on SAP Warning status. At the end of the SAP Warning semester, students who are meeting SAP
will be removed from SAP Warning status.

x 189
SUSPENSION
Students who are not meeting SAP at the end of the SAP Warning semester will be suspended from receiving additional
financial aid. The student also will be suspended from receiving financial aid, and subject to program termination, if the
student does not return to good SAP standing after the completion of an SAP Probation semester or does not meet the
requirements of an Academic Recovery Plan. The student will be notified in writing of the suspension of their financial aid
due to SAP reasons and of his/her appeal rights.

APPEAL
Students have 30 days to appeal the suspension of financial aid for SAP reasons. An appeal may be submitted based on
injury, illness, the death of a relative, or other extenuating or special circumstances that occurred during the semester
the student did not meet the SAP standards. Students are allowed to appeal the suspension of financial aid twice while in
pursuit of a degree.

Students must submit an SAP Appeal form, which will be sent to their student email account or may be obtained from
their Student Advisor. A completed appeal package must be submitted to Student Advising and include the following:

• A completed SAP Appeal form explaining why the student failed to make SAP and
a description of what has changed that will allow the student to reestablish SAP

• Supporting documentation

• Signed Academic Recovery Plan developed by their Student Advisor

The SAP Appeal Committee will review the appeal package and notify the student by email within 5 days of its decision.
The decision of the SAP Appeal Committee is final. If a student’s SAP appeal is approved, the student will be placed on
SAP Probation and an Academic Recovery Plan (ARP) as a condition of the appeal approval. The ARP can last up to four
semesters, depending on the period of time needed to return to good SAP standing. If the appeal is denied, the financial aid
suspension will stand for at least one semester, and regardless of duration, the student will not regain eligibility until the
student meets all of the SAP standards. If the appeal is denied, the student may also be subject to program dismissal. See
the “Reinstatement Process” section.

Students placed on SAP Probation are eligible to receive financial aid for one semester. If the student needs more than one
semester to meet the minimum SAP standards, the student will also be placed on an Academic Recovery Plan. The student
on an ARP will continue to qualify for financial aid while meeting the terms of the ARP.

For students who are given only a one-semester Probation, the student must meet the minimum SAP standards at the end
of the Probation semester. If the student does not meet the minimum SAP standards after a one-semester Probation, the
student will be returned to financial aid suspension status the following semester. For students who are given an ARP, the
student must meet the terms of their ARP at each SAP evaluation point. If the student does not meet the terms of the ARP,
the student will be returned to financial aid suspension the following semester. Students who do not return to good SAP
standing after a single semester of Probation or meet the terms of their ARP are subject to program dismissal. Students are
allowed to appeal the suspension of financial aid twice while in pursuit of a degree. Students on probation and ARP status
will be notified by email when this status changes.

REINSTATEMENT PROCESS

A student who has been suspended from receiving financial aid for SAP reasons may be allowed to continue to take classes
at their own expense to improve their CGPA and ROP. The student will be evaluated at the end of a suspension semester to
determine if the student has met all of the SAP standards and potentially can meet all subsequent benchmarks. If so, the
student’s financial aid will be reinstated in the subsequent semester, provided the student is otherwise eligible. The student
also has the option to explore program transfer options that may result in the reinstatement of financial aid for the new
program.

IMPACT OF PROGRAM TRANSFERS

OR ADDITIONAL DEGREES ON SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Should a student be approved to transfer from one program of study to another or wish to obtain an additional degree,
the student’s prior coursework will be treated as completed credits within the new program only if the courses are part of
the new program of study as outlined in the catalog. In such cases, attempted and completed credits will be considered in
determining satisfactory academic progress from the CGPA, ROP, and maximum allowable timeframe.

PROBATIONARY STATUS
Students who do not meet grading, attendance, financial, or conduct standards may be placed on probation. During this
time, students are advised as to the level of improvement or the action necessary to rectify the probationary status. Students
are removed from probation when satisfactory progress standards have been met. Students who do not meet satisfactory
progress requirements at the end of their probationary period are subject to termination.

STUDENT ADA/SECTION 504 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
The institution, in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (ADA; as amended 2008) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), does not discriminate on the
basis of disability in administration of its education-related programs and activities, and has an institutional commitment
to provide equal educational opportunities for disabled students who are otherwise qualified. Students who feel that their
rights under this policy have been violated may use these grievance procedures to file a complaint.

Any person who has questions or wishes to file a complaint should direct their inquiry to the school’s ADA Coordinator.

The complaint can be filed by email at disabilityservices@lafilm.edu or in person in the Student Advising Department,
6353 Sunset Blvd., 1st Floor, Hollywood, CA 90028.

For online students, the complaint can be filed by email at online_disabilityservices@lafilm.edu.

1. INFORMAL RESOLUTION

Prior to initiating the formal complaint procedure set forth below, the student should, in general, first discuss the matter
orally or in writing with the individual(s) most directly responsible. If no resolution results, or if direct contact is inappropriate
under the circumstances, the student should then consult with the ADA Coordinator who will attempt to facilitate a resolution.
If this step is not successful in achieving a satisfactory resolution within 7 calendar days, the student will be informed of their
right to file a formal complaint.

2. FORMAL RESOLUTION

If the procedure set forth above for informal resolution does not yield a successful resolution, then the student may file a
formal complaint. Complaints must be filed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 14 days after the conclusion of
the term in which the concern arose.

A complaint must be in writing and include the following:

• Grievant’s name, address, email address, and phone number.

• A full description of the problem.

• A description of what efforts have been made to resolve the issue informally.

• A statement of the remedy requested.

The formal complaint can be filed by email at compliance@lafilm.edu or by faxing to 323.769.8776.

3. INVESTIGATION AND REPORT

The Compliance Department or his or her designee (hereafter collectively referred to as the “grievance officer”) will promptly
initiate an investigation. In undertaking the investigation, the grievance officer may interview, consult with, and/or request
a written response to the issues raised in the grievance from any individual the grievance officer believes to have relevant
information, including faculty, staff, and students. Upon completion of the investigation, the grievance officer will prepare
and transmit to the student, and to the party against whom the grievance is directed, a final report containing a summary of
the investigation, written findings, and a proposed disposition. This transmission will be expected within 45 calendar days
of the filing of the formal complaint. The final report may also be provided, where appropriate, to any school official whose
authority will be needed to carry out the proposed disposition or to determine whether any personnel action is appropriate.
The disposition proposed by the grievance officer will be put into effect promptly.

192 x
4. RETALIATION PROHIBITED

Filing an informal or formal complaint of discrimination is a protected activity under the law. Retaliation against anyone who
files a complaint, who supports or assists an individual in pursuing a complaint, or who participates in the resolution of a
complaint is prohibited. Any retaliatory action may be the basis of another complaint under this policy and may subject the
individual engaged in retaliation to discipline under the appropriate student, staff, or faculty disciplinary policies.

STUDENT COMPLAINTS & QUESTIONS

Students are encouraged to present and discuss any concern or complaint, with The Los Angeles Film School staff and/
or faculty and/or administrator. In the event of a concern, grievance or complaint that is not satisfactorily addressed in a
meeting with the appropriate staff/faculty/administrator, a student may submit a complaint questionnaire form online at
www.lafilm.edu/accreditation/student-complaints. The complaint will be received by the Education Administrator. The
Education Administrator will serve as an impartial representative of the institution who is not directly involved in the area of
complaint. If the Education Administrator must be recused due to involvement in the area of complaint, another institution
staff member will be assigned for assurance of serving as an impartial representation. The Education Administrator will
direct and facilitate each complaint with the appropriate Staff/Faculty member with the goal being to obtain a satisfactory
resolution and/or ultimate clarification. Students will receive initial acknowledgment of the complaint and may be contacted
for additional input. Students should be willing to be involved in discussion and communication towards resolution. Upon
completion of the review of facts and evidence, the student will be notified of the final decision by the appropriate staff/
faculty member within 30 days of receiving the grievance in writing.

Schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges must have a procedure and operational
plan for handling student complaints. If a student does not feel that the institution has adequately addressed a complaint or
concern, the student may consider contacting the Accrediting Commission. All complaints reviewed by the Commission must
be in written form and should grant permission for the Commission to forward a copy of the complaint to the institution for
a response. This can be accomplished by filing the ACCSC Complaint Form. The complainant(s) will be kept informed as to
the status of the complaint as well as the final resolution by the Commission.

WISCONSIN RESIDENTS

The Educational Approval Board (EAB) has the authority, under EAB 4.08(2), to investigate a student complaint, negotiate a
settlement, or dismiss a complaint if it is found to be inappropriate. The following information is intended to help students
file a complaint about a school that the EAB regulates.

Before you file a complaint with the EAB, state law requires that you try to resolve the matter with the school. Every EAB-
approved school has a process to resolve student complaints. If the matter is not resolved, you may file a complaint with the
EAB using the EAB Student Complaint form, published on the EAB website.

Complaints must be filed within one year after the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Upon receiving a student
complaint, EAB investigates it. If preliminary findings indicate a violation by a school, the EAB shall attempt, through
mediation, to resolve the complaint. If no agreement is reached, the EAB may dismiss the complaint or conduct a hearing.
Under Wisconsin’s Open Records Law (Wis. Stats., Ch. 19), complaints will generally be available for review on request from
a member of the public after the EAB has acted.

For more information, visit the EAB web page on this topic:

WISCONSIN POLICIES FOR RESIDENTS ENROLLED IN ONLINE PROGRAMS

The following policies apply only to residents of the State of Wisconsin who enroll in online degree programs.

Institutional Ownership:

The school is owned by Los Angeles Film Schools, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company. Los Angeles Film Schools, LLC is owned
by a group of business entities with a background in education and finance including:

• Phelps Education West, LLC

• The Heavener Company Education West, LLC

Acceptance

The school has an open admissions policy. Upon receipt of a full and complete Application for Admission, the school reviews
the application to ensure that the applicant meets all minimum criteria for admission and in the affirmative, the applicant
is notified of acceptance by phone call. Students are accepted on a provisional basis subject to successful completion of a
technology assessment and orientation module.

Effect of Advanced Standing

Students who are granted credit for courses via transfer of credit for previous education or via CLEP, DTTS, or ACE test scores
(see Transfer of Credit Policy) may find that the length of the program in which they are enrolled is reduced by one month for
each course in which the student is granted credit. Students who are granted credit for courses via transfer of credit for previous
education or via CLEP, DTTS, or ACE test scores (see Transfer of Credit Policy in the Academic Catalog Online Degree Programs) will
receive a reduction in total tuition costs. The reduction in total tuition cost is calculated by a) determining the per-credit-hour tuition
by dividing the total program tuition by the total credit hours of the program; then, b) multiplying the per credit hour tuition by
the total transfer credit hours and/or test score credit hours awarded to determine the tuition reduction amount; then c) subtract
the tuition reduction amount from the total tuition charge for the program to determine the adjusted tuition. See below example.

A 60-credit hour program with a total tuition charge of $30,000 for which a student is granted 6 credit hours of
transfer of credit for previous education.

$30,000 / 60
= $500 TUITION PER CREDIT HOUR

$500 X 6
= $3,000 TUITION REDUCTION AMOUNT

$30,000 – $3,000
= $27,000 ADJUSTED TUITION

Student tuition billing from the school is adjusted accordingly.

PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is the use of another person’s distinctive ideas or words without acknowledgment. The incorporation of
another person’s work into one’s own requires appropriate identification and acknowledgment, regardless of the means of
appropriation.

CHEATING

Cheating involves the following: possession, communication, or use of information, materials, notes, study aids, or other
devices that are not authorized by the instructor in any academic exercise or communication with another person during
such an exercise.

PROHIBITED CONDUCT

1. Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty.

2. Allowing other persons to access the online Learning Management System using one’s school log-on

POLICY PROHIBITING
RECREATIONAL & MEDICAL MARIJUANA USE
Although California state law allows the use of marijuana for medical and/or recreational purposes, marijuana is still
illegal under federal law and categorized as an illicit substance (Drug Enforcement Agency Schedule I) under the Drug-Free
Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Amendments of 1989. The Los Angeles Film School
(LAFS) receives federal funding for student financial aid. As such, LAFS must comply with federal law, including all current
federal drug laws. The possession, use, and storage of marijuana is therefore prohibited on school property. Students are
also prohibited from being under the influence of marijuana while attending classes or working on projects utilizing school
equipment or facilities.

Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the school.

STUDENT DRESS CODE

Students are prohibited from wearing attire that is inappropriate and not normally in good taste while on campus, in a
school setting, during class, or at school events. Minimum dress should cover the torso and upper legs and shoes must be
worn at all times. No offensive or abusive language or images is permitted.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS
The focus of any disciplinary proceedings is to determine if an individual is responsible or not responsible for violating the
standards set forth in the Code of Conduct. Formal rules of evidence shall not be applicable in disciplinary hearings, and
minor deviations from these policies and procedures shall not necessarily invalidate a decision or proceeding. Students may
be accountable to both criminal and civil authorities and to the school for acts that constitute violations of the law and of this
Code. Disciplinary proceedings may proceed even if criminal charges are still pending, and sanctions imposed by the school will
not be subject to challenge on the grounds that criminal charges involving the same incident have been dismissed or reduced.

x 203
PROCESS

Alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct should be reported to the Student Conduct Officer who will be responsible
for investigating the incident/conduct. The Student Conduct Officer will conduct an investigation and meet with the student
and any other individuals who were involved or who witnesses the alleged incident/conduct.

After completing the investigation, the Student Conduct Officer may:

• Find the student not responsible for the alleged incident/conduct

• Find the student responsible for the alleged incident/conduct but determine that informal counseling
or a verbal warning is appropriate under the relevant facts and circumstances.

• Find the student responsible for the alleged incident/conduct and impose formal disciplinary sanctions.

• Refer the matter for a hearing before the Conduct Review Board (CRB). The student may be asked to
attend a CRB hearing and provide testimony regarding the alleged incident/behavior. The student
may present supporting documentation and the testimony of other witnesses, if any, during the CRB
hearing. The CRB may conduct its own investigation into the alleged incident/behavior before or after
the conduct hearing. The CRB will make a determination as to whether the student is responsible for
the alleged incident/behavior and what sanctions, if any, should be imposed.

SANCTIONS

During the disciplinary process, every attempt will be made to foster student learning through a system of appropriate and
escalating consequences. Student may be subject to the following sanctions and penalties as part of the school disciplinary
process:

Warning
Written notice that continued or repeated violations of school policies or regulations may be cause for further disciplinary
action. A permanent record of the violation(s) will be retained in the student’s file.

Suspension
Termination of a student’s enrollment for a specified period of time, including an academic term or terms with reinstatement
subject to specified conditions; further violations of school policies or violation of the terms of the suspension will normally
result in permanent dismissal from the school.

Dismissal
Termination of student status at the school.

Restitution:
Reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of either school or private property may be imposed exclusively or in
combination with other disciplinary actions. Such reimbursement may take the form of monetary payment or appropriate
service to repair or otherwise compensate for damages.

204 x
MANDATORY SANCTIONS

Suspension followed by a dismissal hearing, as well as police involvement, will be used for the following offenses:

• Possession of a weapon, including, but not limited to, firearms and knives

• Possession of illegal drugs or trafficking drugs or weapons

• Use of a weapon to cause bodily harm or to threaten serious harm

• Serious physical assault

• Sexual assault
