Students and Faculty of the Institute have responsibilities as well as rights. Academic policy is clearly articulated in the Institutional Catalog as well as in the Student and Faculty Handbooks. Academic policy is safeguarded through the Academic Standards Committee and supervised by the Chief Academic Officer of the Institution. In non-academic matters students and faculty are able to communicate complaints directly to the Office of the Chief Executive Officer of the Institution. In both academic and non-academic matters, students have the right to appeal faculty as well as administration decisions through a process described in the Student Handbook.
