Out‐of‐State Distance Education students, who have completed the internal institutional grievance process and the applicable state grievance process, may appeal non‐instructional complaints to the FL‐SARA PRDEC Council. Complaints/Grievance Policy Students have the right to file a grievance against the University both verbally and in writing on a number of issues, as stated in the University Catalog. The general procedure is for the student to have an informal discussion with the Student Development coordinator as a first step. Before filing a formal charge, the student should first meet with the faculty member if it is grade/academic issue in an effort to resolve the matter. The student may then file a written complaint to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Upon receipt of a written formal complaint by a student, the Vice President of Academic Affairs will consider the complaint. The University will conduct an investigation to determine whether the allegation has merit. The Vice-President of Academic Affairs then makes a determination. If a violation of policy, as stated in the Catalog or Faculty Handbook, has occurred, the University will take appropriate steps for remediation toward the parties involved as dictated by the written policy and provisions of the University. The Vice President or his designee (student development coordinator) will formally notify the student of the outcome of the review. This decision is final, but the student has the right to appeal to the Florida Commission on Independent Education or the current accreditor, ACICS. If a student has a complaint or grievance against a university faculty member or employee, the Catalog provides the following information: If any student deems it necessary to file a grievance against a Jose Maria Vargas employee, he or she must report such incident to the Vice-President of Academic Affairs. Every effort will be made to protect the privacy of any parties involved. In cases of discrimination or sexual harassment, JMVU encourages the student to go directly to the Vice-President of Academic Affairs. Any complaint that is not in writing, that is, a verbal complaint, is considered an informal complaint. After an informal discussion, if the student wishes to file a formal grievance, he/she may submit such in writing to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. However, before filing a formal charge, the complaining party should first make a good faith effort to meet and confer with the party against whom he or she has a complaint in an effort to resolve the matter. The formal report should contain a statement of the problem or complaint, the facts and details of the situation, pertinent dates and the names and positions of the parties involved. The grievance must be signed and dated. Also, student may withdraw a complaint at any time during the complaint process. A withdrawal must be made in writing to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Upon receipt of a written formal complaint by a student, the Vice-President of Academic Affairs will consider the complaint. After such an investigation, the Vice-President of Academic Affairs will make a determination as to whether the grievance has merit as alleged. If the alleged grievance is deemed justified, JMVU will take whatever steps it deems appropriate to correct any grievance suffered by the complaining student. Remedies The student may appeal this determination to an appeals committee consisting of members of the administration, faculty and student body. This committee has the right to review the determinations and to reverse or amend such decisions. Students have the right to appeal a denial for a request for accommodations related to a disability. The student may appeal any decision related to a requested accommodation or auxiliary aid to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Such an appeal must be made in writing to the Vice President of Academic Affairs not later than ten (10) days following the decision as to a requested accommodation or aid. Any position paper, brief, medical documentation or other written material, which the student desires to be reviewed by the Vice President of Academic Affairs, shall be submitted together with the notice of appeal. The Vice President of Academic Affairs shall investigate and respond to the notice of appeal in writing, stating her decision, together with the reasons for either affirming or reversing the previous decision as to an accommodation or auxiliary aid. Students and faculty who believe that their grievances have not been fully investigated or remedied may contact the Commission for Independent Education at 325 West Gaines Street, Suite 1414, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400 toll free telephone number 888-224-6684; or the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), 1350 Eye Street, NW, Suite 560, Washington, D.C. 20005, (202) 336-6780.

Jose Maria Vargas University was founded in 2002 by a family of professional educators with vast experience in owning and operating educational institutions in both the United States and Venezuela. History History of Jose Maria Vargas University Jose Maria Vargas University (JMVU) was founded in 2002 by a family of experienced educators with a long-standing commitment to academic excellence, both in the United States and Venezuela. The University was officially incorporated in February 2002 and received its first Temporary License from the Florida Commission for Independent Education (CIE) in May 2002, allowing the institution to begin planning for academic operations. In April 2003, JMVU was granted a Provisional License, which enabled the University to hire faculty, finalize academic programs, and enroll students. The University officially opened its doors in Fall 2003, offering its first degree programs in Graphic Design, Business Administration, and Education. In recognition of its successful institutional development, JMVU was granted its first full Annual License in May 2005 and has remained fully licensed by the Florida CIE since then. That same year, JMVU launched its Child Development Associate (CDA) Equivalency Program, now known as the Florida Child Care Professional Credential. This diploma program laid the foundation for a comprehensive early childhood education pathway—from entry-level training to a Master’s degree in Preschool Education. In 2009, after a rigorous self-study process, the University earned full institutional accreditation from the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS). This milestone led to further approvals in 2010, including certification by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVIS), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for veteran training, and Title IV approval from the U.S. Department of Education, allowing JMVU to offer federal financial aid beginning in 2011. Since then, JMVU has continued to grow and evolve, serving the needs of the South Florida community. The University has expanded its academic offerings to include the A.A. in Preschool Education and the Master’s in Preschool Education, along with the A.S. in Accounting—developed in alignment with local workforce demands. JMVU has also remained actively engaged in community outreach, offering free workshops and maintaining a university art gallery that showcases work by local artists, students, and faculty. From 2014 to 2016, the University added several new academic and diploma programs, including: A.S. and B.A. in Mental Health and Human Services (June 2014) MBA in Finance (July 2015) Diploma programs in Phlebotomy and EKG Aide (October 2014) Home Health Aide Diploma (June 2016) English as a Second Language Diploma (June 2016) M.S. in Fashion Management (August 2016) JMVU also submitted a new program proposal for the Medical Assistant Technician diploma, which was approved by ACICS and is currently pending approval from the Florida Commission for Independent Education. As part of its commitment to academic quality and institutional improvement, Jose Maria Vargas University achieved accreditation from the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) in January 2024. This recognition affirms the University's dedication to delivering high-quality, accessible online education. Looking ahead, JMVU remains focused on expanding its programs and services to meet the evolving needs of the diverse and dynamic population in the United States.
