The University is committed to nondiscrimination with respect to race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, veteran status, political affiliations or opinions. All university employees have a responsibility to keep the work environment free of discrimination. When the university is made aware of an act of discrimination, it is obligated by law to take immediate and appropriate action. For the purpose of this regulation, discrimination is defined as any disparity of treatment or limitation of access based on race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, veteran status, political affiliations or opinions. All acts of discrimination must be documented in writing, specifying the basis for discrimination. The complainant must enumerate all types of discrimination in the statement, identify the offender, and turn in complaint to Student Development or Human Resources, as appropriate. Should a student feel discriminated by a member of the Student Development Department, the student must submit the complaint to the academic coordinator of his or her concentration, or to another university official. In absence of a written complaint, the employee or faculty member who received the complaint must document it in a memorandum to be referred to Student Development or Human Resources, as appropriate. Unless it is signed by complainant, it will be an informal complaint. Jose Maria Vargas University will investigate all complaints. Investigations may include interviews, preparation of statements, reports with summary of the investigation, description of investigation process, findings and recommendations. Reports will be kept confidential at the Department of Student Development and/or Human Resources, depending on the individual(s) involved. The University may attempt conciliation between the parties involved. If conciliation is not achieved, the designated official from the university will issue a final report. Final reports shall be issued within 60 days of receiving the complaint. The alleged offender and complainant will be notified in writing of the outcomes, and procedures for appeal. Upon this final report, corrective action, including sanctions, will be considered and implemented. Claims to be found frivolous will result in appropriate sanctions against complainant, as determined by Student Development or Human Resources. Possible sanctions may include, but are not limited to written reprimands on the student or employee’s record, restriction or loss of privileges, and suspension. Complaints may be withdrawn, but JMVU reserves the right to continue investigating as it was made aware of a possible act of discrimination. Any attempt(s) at retaliation shall be treated as a separate allegation of discrimination. By the time a determination of appropriate disciplinary action or resolution has been reached, all parties have been contacted and circumstances have been fully evaluated. However, individuals have five days to appeal determination of sanctions. Such appeals shall be directed to a higher university authority, who will re-evaluate the determination as deemed appropriate.

- Transfer of Credit Policy | Vargas University
Credit Transfer Guidelines: What to Know About Transferring Credits to and from Vargas University. Transfer of Credit Policies Students seeking to transfer credits earned at another postsecondary institution to JMVU, or from JMVU to other institutions should note that the transferability of credits is at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether or not credits will be accepted by another institution of the student’s choice. The policy of the University regarding the evaluation of course content from other universities to determine its equivalency with a course offered at JMVU is that approximately three-fourths of the course content must match the content of the course offered at JMVU if it is to be accepted for transfer. For evaluation purposes, students must provide a copy of the course description for the course to be evaluated and the school catalog for the time period during which the course was taken. Evaluations are handled on a case-by-case basis. Students must complete a minimum of 25% of a program at the University. JMVU is a member of the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS). This course numbering system facilitates the transfer of credit for equivalent courses among the state's colleges and universities. Decisions regarding transferability of credits are not necessarily made prior to enrollment. Only students who have been fully admitted to JMVU may submit their transcripts and course descriptions for evaluation. Students are encouraged to submit official transcripts as soon as possible. JMVU recognizes credits from accredited higher education degree granting institutions, and will not transfer credits for courses below college level. Evaluation of transferability of credits is performed by the Registration Department. On occasion, the Registration Department may seek the advice of an expert or faculty member in a specific discipline to perform course evaluations. Courses may be denied for transfer under the discretion of the Registration Department depending on the date courses were originally taken. A grade of C- or higher is required to receive transfer credit in the undergraduate programs. However, any credits earned (passing grade) at an institution within the Florida Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) will be accepted. A grade of B- or higher is required for graduate level course transfer. However, grades for classes that were transferred from another university are shown as “T” on the transcript and will not be used in computing the student’s grade point average. Associate degree students may not transfer more than 30 credits and Bachelor degree students may not transfer more than 60 credits. Master degree students, no more than 9 credits will be transferred; and other documentation may be requested, such as sample of coursework. Undergraduates may submit a request to apply an Associate’s Degree to a Bachelor at JMVU. However, the University reserves the right to request a student to take additional courses to establish equivalency with JMVU’s programs. International degrees and transcripts must be officially translated & evaluated by a member of NACES. Official translation of course content may also be required. JMVU may consider giving credit for AP (Advanced Placement), CLEP (College Level Examination Program) and SAT Subject Tests to meet general education requirements. The minimum scores required for consideration using these examinations are: 50 for CLEP exams; 3 for AP exams, and a score of 500 or higher in SAT subject tests. No more than 30 credits will be granted.
