Students must register in order to attend classes and receive a grade.
All registration and other forms or documents are official and become
VCTEC property when received by the ADMINISTRATION Office.
The quarter will begin on the day announced in the Academic Calendar.
Registration will take place during the month preceding the first day
of each quarter and the drop/add period will last for two weeks. Late
registration will take place on the day immediately following the
first day of the quarter and will last no more than five days. After
that time, the university will charge a late administrative fee of
?20.00 for processing the registration.
The maximum academic load is 18 credits per semester for all
programmes and may only be exceeded under extenuating circumstances
and with the prior written consent of the director of admissions
The college reserves the right to cancel from the time-table any
course in which there is an insufficient number of students enrolled.
Students enrolled in a course that has been cancelled should contact
the Registrar for assistance in making another course selection.
A minimum of 12 credits hours plus 8 hours of computer
processing/practice and 20 hours library research per week are
required for full-time status, which must be maintained for all
foreign students. It is also important to note that a student who has
registered for a higher qualification is not later allowed to move and
register onto a lower qualification unless the move is onto the same
level qualification and approval is obtained from the Registrar.
Therefore, a registered BBA student is not allowed to move from the
BBA to the AA degree.
Note: VCTEC reserves the right to alter, amend, change or modify
the academic programme in cases of under - or over - enrolment, or in
the case of a mutual agreement with a sponsoring institution.
Similarly, VCTEC reserves the right to alter, amend, change or modify
its terms and conditions of admissions and other policies without
further notice.
|
|
In some instances, students may find it necessary to add or drop a
course after having registered. A "change of programme" form
must be completed and placed on file with the Director of admissions.
The 'add and drop' period runs for a maximum of two weeks starting on
the first day of class.
Non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal.
Failure to file an official drop will result in a failing grade in
classes in which the student is registered or supposed to have
registered, and the student will be liable for full tuition payments.
|
A student who wishes to withdraw from either a course or an entire
program must first file a withdrawal or termination form available
from the administration Office. Failure to file this official form
will result in an 'F' grade for all courses for the respective
quarter. Such withdrawal becomes official when the form is filed with
the administration Office. Note that no refund can be entertained once
classes have started. Also refer to terms and conditions on the VCTEC
application form.
|
|
The VCTEC operates on a semester system, with each semester consisting
of 10-12 intensive weeks of classes. Classes for both the MBA and BBA
programmes are each worth 'three semester credits' classes. A 'three
semester credits' class involves at least three weekly hours of
classroom instruction over a semester.
Doctoral classes may require extensive preparation prior to the
initial class or tutorial session. This research and reading
components are expected to take the equivalent of ten academic hours.
In addition, each doctoral course requires ten academic hours of
post-coursework designed to complete and present each course's
project. Doctoral students will receive three hours of classroom
instruction during 10 weeks, in addition to the pre- and
post-assignment, for a 'three semester credits hours' class. Academic
support will be provided by the instructor and the Academic Dean.
PDBA 799 and 800 are worth three semester credits each. These classes
represent the equivalent of thirty academic hours, and each one is
taught over one semester.
Students are expected to spend at least two hours of time for homework
outside of class for each hour of work in class at the BBA and MBA
levels, and three hours homework for each hour of class work at the
PhD level.
|
|
Students must apply for graduation by submitting a request for
graduation clearance to the ADMINSTRATION Office. This should be done
well in advance of the quarter in which the last degree requirement
will be met. Two semesters prior to the planned completion date is
recommended.
Upon receipt of the request for graduation clearance, the
ADMINSTRATION Office will update the student's programme evaluation
and a copy will be sent to the student indicating requirements
remaining for the awarding of the degree or diploma. A copy of the
student's financial statement will be included. Students must contact
the ADMINSTRATION Office after receiving their final grade to initiate
the final degree/diploma audit and ordering of the certificate.
Candidates are required to remove deficiencies from their academic
record, clear any indebtedness to the college, and pay the graduation
fee prior to the release of the certificate and official transcript.
VCTEC organises one graduation ceremony annually, in mid-June.
Students who have completed more than 75% of their programmes and who
are above the required CGPA for final graduations are entitled to
petition for graduation and to attend the nearest graduation ceremony
exercise.
|
|
Students may transfer credits from another graduate or professional
program if the credits are appropriate to the VCTEC programme. Only
courses offered at approved university or college may be accepted with
an equivalent of a 'C' grade or better for the BBA and 'B' grade or
better for the MBA/MPhil and PhD. VCTEC does not award credits for
professional experience. The maximum amounts of credits VCTEC will
accept in transfer from another institution are: BBA: 90 credits; MBA/MPhil:
9 credits; No transfer credit will be allowed for Diploma Programme.
The Director of admissions is the final arbiter for the award of
transfer credit. |
|
Regular attendance at class meetings is required of all courses
including directed study. Students are expected to spend at least 20
hours at the college including 15 hours of study/tutorial/lecture. In
addition, students are required to attend and study a further 20 hours
per week in the library to up-date on their studies and complete
coursework.
Attendance records are maintained by the administration Office with
the help of the faculty members who may drop, at their discretion, a
student from class for poor attendance. A student may be suspended for
the semester or even expelled from the university for poor attendance
at any time if, after meeting with the Dean to discuss class
attendance, he or she continues to be absent from classes. An
instructor may withdraw a student who has accumulated more than three
unofficial absences.
|
|
Directed study has been designed to meet the specialised interests and
needs of advanced students. Request for directed study should be made
in writing to the Dean unless prior approval has been given. The
written request for directed study must include the specific course
concerned and the justification for taking it as a directed study
course. The student enrolled in a directed study course is required to
work with an assigned faculty member throughout the semester and
complete requirements according to a specific syllabus.
|
|
A student may appeal against an academic dismissal decision by
submitting a written explanation with viable proof of non-occurrence
of the deficiency or unjustified dismissive action together with the
signature of approval of the Dean for a hearing to take place. If
successful, all remedial actions will be taken immediately.

he International University of America grades on the following
four-point scale:
A=4.0; A-=3.7; B+=3.3; B=3.0;
B-=2.7; C+ = 2.3; C = 2.0; C- = 1.7; D+= 1.3; D= 1.0; D-=0.7; F=O.O;
P=Pass;
IP = In Progress
W = Withdrawal (not counted in grade-point average)
I = Incomplete
(Occurs when a faculty member
grants permission to a student to complete work within one quarter
following the original deadline. Failure to complete all required work
within this specified time period will result in a permanent grade of
'F' placed on the student's transcript).
Occasionally, certain courses will be offered on a pass/fail basis.
Passing grades in these courses do not affect the grade-point average.
In progress (IP) grades are only granted in relation to ongoing work
as it relates to a thesis or dissertation.
General observation for the BBA
and MBA grade interpretation is as follows:
|
|
|
| A: 90 percent or
better. An excellent demonstration of knowledge of the
principles of the subject and their application. Demonstration
of excellent language skills. An 'A' paper would, for example,
go outside the text to apply principles in different settings.
|
| B: 80 percent to
89 percent. The ability to understand and apply the principles
of the subject with a degree of certainty such that your
recommendations can be successfully implemented. For example,
a paper worth a 'B' grade would give examples and cite
articles (on the topic under discussion - not the case)
outside the text.
|
| C: 70 percent to
79 percent. The student is unclear in his or her understanding
and application of the principles of the subject; however,
some basic principles have been grasped.
|
| D: 60 percent to
69 percent. Principles of the subject are either poorly
understood or not always applied.
|
| F: Less than 60
percent. Unsatisfactory work.
|
|
Below is the Grade
Interpretation for the PhD programme: (Doctoral courses emphasise
subjective over objective student evaluation) :
|
|
|
| A grade of "A"
indicates that the student has demonstrated extensive
knowledge of the subject. The student also has the capability
to fully apply the principles and techniques studied during
the course in an orderly and professional manner. Such a
student is thoroughly conversant with the subject.
|
| A grade of "B"
shows that the student receiving the grade has excellent
knowledge of the subject. The student also thoroughly
understands the principles and techniques described in the
course, but would require some additional knowledge to be able
to fully implement them without minimal supervision.
|
| A grade of "C"
indicates that the student receiving the grade has displayed a
level of knowledge that would not permit the person to apply
the principles and techniques described without the extensive
addition of knowledge and a long period of direct supervision.
|
| A grade of "D"
shows that the candidate has not shown an acceptable level of
knowledge concerning the principles and techniques described
in the course. Such a grade places the student on academic
probation and prohibits registration without prior approval of
the doctoral program director. A second such grade requires a
full review of the student's progress by the Academic Dean and
other appropriate members of the faculty and staff.
|
| A grade of "F"
indicates inadequate performance. Such a grade requires a
review by the Academic Dean and other appropriate faculty and
staff members. The student will show-cause why he or she
should be able to continue in the program. The student will
also explain his or her corrective action.
|
|
Students who have achieved the following minimum GPA's will graduate
with Honours as indicated below:
BBA: Cum Laude 3.50;
Magna Cum Laude 3.75; Summa Cum Laude 3.90.
MBA and PhD: With
Distinction 3. 75; With High Distinction 3.90.
Honours will be indicated on both the final transcript and degree
certificate. The University may from time to time award professorship
or honorary degrees to VIP of high standing in society and long public
service including those deserving academicians with extensive period
of teaching and research.
|
|
Each
student is responsible for his or her own academic work. It is to
everyone's benefit that each student's evaluation accurately reflects
the student's attained level of competence. Therefore, no student may
assist another during any evaluation exercise including written
examinations, the development of term papers, written cases, and other
similar academic projects or assignments.
Plagiarism is defined as appropriating the work of others as one's
own. Students must cite all their sources in all instances. Also, at
the discretion of the instructor as stated in each course syllabus,
students will receive lower grades for paraphrasing the work of
others. In clear cases of plagiarism, they will fail the course
concerned. Repeat offenders can be expelled from the university.
When an accusation of cheating has been made, the student may respond
in writing to the Dean. If the Dean does not uphold the student's
position, the student may appeal to a board of three faculty members
and members of the administrative staff. If the student believes that
this board has not reached a satisfactory conclusion, he or she may
appeal to the Board of Directors of VCTEC whose decision will be
final.
|
|
Students are required to maintain a quarterly and cumulative grade
point average of: 3.0 for PhD/DBA students; 3.0 for MBA students; and
2.0 for BBA and other undergraduate students.
A student falling below the
appropriate level is placed on academic probation and has one semester
to improve grades. Failure to do so will result in automatic academic
dismissal.
|
A student who is dissatisfied with a grade must first discuss the
situation with the instructor. If no agreement is reached, the next
level of appeal is with the Dean. The final appeal is made to the
Board of Directors of the college for a conclusive decision. Appeals
on all levels must be made in writing.
|
All final examinations must be taken on the date scheduled, except
under special circumstances when written permission must be obtained
from the instructor and from the Registrar's Office prior to the date
of the examination.
|
|
CHALLENGE EXAMINATIONS
|
|
|
No course/subject may be challenged at the VCTEC.
|
Each student's record contains academic records and their equivalence
from previous institutions, memoranda or letters relating to the
student's academic record, and recorded achievements in classes for
which the student was registered.
As outlined in the U.S. Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley
Amendment), an educational institution has the right to release
pertinent information on students i.e. "directory
information", and may only release other information upon the
written consent of the student. At vctec, a student is taken to have
approved the release of "directory information" by signing
on their application form at the outset of admissions.
An initial transcript and degree certificate is provided free to a
student upon completion of the programme. A written request must be
submitted by the student to the administration Office for any
additional copies of the transcript, accompanied by a ?10.00 handling
fee for each copy requested. Official transcripts will not be given to
students, but will be mailed upon request to another institution.
Unofficial transcripts, so marked, will be issued directly to
students. At the completion of each semester, the student may be given
a grade report if requested subject to the approval of the Registrar.
|
Any
student may be expelled, suspended, placed on probation, or given a
lesser sanction for one or more of the following causes, which must be
school-related:
|
|
|
| Cheating or plagiarism in
connection with an academic program at the VCTEC campus.

another to commit any act that would subject a student to
expulsion, suspension, or probation pursuant to this section.
|
|
The Board of Directors of the college may place on probation, suspend,
or expel a student for one or more of the causes enumerated above.
No refund of any fees will be given where a student has been placed on
probation, suspension or expulsion.
Campus Emergency: During periods of college emergency, the
Board of Directors may place into immediate effect any emergency
regulations, procedures, and other measures deemed necessary or
appropriate to meet the emergency, safeguard persons and property, and
maintain educational activities.
Interim Suspension: The Board of Directors of the college may
immediately impose an interim suspension in all cases in which there
are reasonable cause to believe that such an immediate suspension is
required in order to protect lives or property and to ensure the
maintenance of order. A student so placed on interim suspension shall
be given prompt notice of charges and the opportunity for a hearing
within ten (10) days of the imposition of interim suspension. During
the period of interim suspension, the student shall not, without prior
written permission of the designated representative, enter the campus,
other than to attend the hearing. Violation of any condition of
interim suspension shall be ground for expulsion.
Conduct by Applicants for Admission: Admission or readmission
may be deferred or denied to any person who, while not enrolled as a
student, commits acts that would be the basis for disciplinary
proceedings pursuant to the above. Admission or readmission may be
deferred or denied to any person who, while a student, commits acts
that are subject to disciplinary action pursuant to the above.
|
|
When a student has a grievance that cannot be settled by a discussion
with the faculty member or administrator in question, the student will
submit to the Board of Directors, a written statement describing the
situation and requesting one or more courses of action. If the student
is unable to complete this document alone, the university staff will
provide necessary assistance.
Once the grievance statement has been received by the Board, a member
of the Board shall appoint a faculty member or administrator to meet
with the student. This person shall review all documentation and meet
with all persons involved or witness to the grievance situation and
shall act as the student's ombudsman. If the student's situation
cannot be resolved at this level of intervention, the administrator or
faculty member shall request a formal hearing before a panel of three
consisting of a faculty member, an administrator, and a neutral
student who has not been involved in the situation.
This panel will issue a written report stating its decision and
recommendations. In the event that the student is dissatisfied with
the report, an appeal to the Board of Directors is authorized. The
Board of Directors shall have final authority to accept or reject the
student's appeal and its decision will be final.
Where the college suffers losses which are beyond its control such as
through an act of terrorism or an Act of God, the college will
endeavour to transfer its students to another suitable and appropriate
college or university so that the students could continue to study
uninterrupted.
|
|
|
| Payment may be made by
cash, personal cheque (with appropriate bank guarantees or
bank draft).
|
| The college reserves the
right to change tuition fees. The tuition fee charged will
depend on the fees in place when the student enrolls i.e. when
the student registers and pays for courses.
|
| Registration for classes
will be restricted for students with outstanding financial
obligations.
|
| Transcript and degree
certificate/ diploma will not be released until the student
has paid all financial obligations to the College /
University.
|
|
Students
have access to the Library which holds volumes of books, microfilms,
periodicals, on-line services, and electronic databases for quick
electronic access to information. In addition, these substantial
resources are also complemented by sizable collections of maps and
sound recordings. Cultural and educational exhibits are regularly
maintained and updated.
Students also have access to City Business
Library and other local research libraries such as the British Science
Research Library nearby. VCTEC students are further encouraged to make
use of the extensive Public Library system. VCTEC students should also
note that career counseling and advise may be obtained from the above
libraries that could be a significance source of information for
individual internship program. Most of these libraries stock numerous
directories and career planning and research books.
|
|
Computer Facilities
|
|
|
Academic instruction is supported by a set of computers, laser
printers, and software programs for student use. It is highly
recommended that all VCTEC students buy a personal computer since all
course assignments must be typed.
|
|
Student Activities
|
|
|
|
In an effort to create professional and academic contacts, to
complement students' course of studies, and to expand personal
interests, students are encouraged to participate in the AS VCTEC
(Associated Students of the International University of America).
This student government has input on university policy and creates a
sense of university spirit while organizing educational and social
functions.
|
|
Sports Facilities
|
|
|
|
Tennis,
squash, swimming, jogging, golf, bicycling, sailing and roller-blading
can be found in and around the City.
Public and private recreational facilities include swimming pools,
over tennis courts, gymnasiums and parks. Students also enjoy access
to the museums, the Tower of London, river cruises, floating
restaurant/cafe Millennium ride and the Houses of Parliament all along
the River Thames nearby.
|
|
Health Service
|
|
|
All VCTEC students should register with the National Health Service.
There are also private healthcare providers such as BUPA and PPP.
Specific details relative to costs and coverage may be obtained
through these healthcare providers or through one’s own personal
carriers.
|
|
Transportation
|
|
|
Public transportation in the City of London reflects another aspect of
the London's diversity. Through our corporate agreement with London
Transport, VCTEC students are able to purchase daily and seasonal
unlimited ride tickets at discounted prices.
|
|
Student Life and Entertainment
|
|
|
|
VCTEC students will find a post office, photocopy services, banking
services, restaurants, and office/school supply and bookstores within
the immediate area adjacent to the campus. Not far in the West End
lies Leicester Square and Covent Garden with excellent shopping and
theatre entertainment.
VCTEC students will find life in London very exciting. The city is a
mixture of a number of neighbourhoods with decidedly international
characteristics. For instance, Chinatown in Soho, not far away from
the campus, containing the largest concentration of Chinese
restaurants in the U.K. Around Leicester Square and Covent Garden, one
witnesses Irish, Turkish, English, Japanese, Hispanic, Spanish,
Italian, Indian and other Asian restaurants intermingled with the
famous West End theatres.
|
|
LONDON
|
|
|
|
London, indeed, offers a thriving and diverse cultural scene to I
students including a world-class symphony, ballet company, opera
company, alternative rock and jazz clubs, cinemas, fine arts and
science museums, and major league sports.

All international students requiring student visa will be coordinated
by the University. International students must abide by all
immigration laws and must follow immigration regulations.
Faculty members, business leaders and alumni compose the EAB. Each
type of member plays an important role. Faculty members bring their
knowledge of the program to the table. Alumni bring their own
experience with VCTEC. Executives are able, willing and ready to
contribute their time, and represent organizations that are interested
in recruiting VCTEC graduates for internship program.
|
Move to Top
|
|
|
|
VCTEC has recently set up an Executive Advisory Board (EAB) to help it
improve the services it provides to its students. It is composed of
community members who are directly involved in the field of management
and international business. It is comprised of executives in middle
and senior positions in business in the London area. The EAB has three
functions, namely, first, to help keep our programs current; second,
to help VCTEC students find meaningful internships; and three, to
evaluate the quality of our program.
At VCTEC, the EAB is essential to the success of our programs. Our EAB
ensures that our programs meet the long-term needs of our students.
VCTEC students demand the highest quality education possible. They
want academically qualified instructors who can also provide them with
the practical aspects of their subject because of their daily exposure
to the field. The EAB supports the work of the Academic Dean to ensure
that our students achieve their goals.
|
|
DEVELOPING USEFUL INTERNSHIPS
|
|
|
|
Most VCTEC students expeb4 to complement their formal classes with
internship$ that provide them with practical hands-on experience.
Internships turn out to be extremely useful &or the students, who find
themsel³es doing tasks that will imppove their professhonal profhles.
VCTEC endeavo5rs with the help of EAB members to find organizations
that will challenges the students.
These companies make a point of
working with VCTEC students to get the most out of theme without
wasting their time. Essentially, students participating in the
intarnship program will spend 110 hour on the- job- training. At the
end of it, the recitative' organisation will writ% a short report on
the intern's performance such as willingness to learn new skills,
punctuality, devotion to duties, efficiency and Effectiveness at work.
The intern concerned will write a lengthy piece of project covering
work experience, usefulness of skills acquired, willingness of the
mentor to teach, consistency of training and appeal of the work
itself.

Æ
Students who earn a degree at VCTEC are entered on the VCTEC Alumni
Association Database. The goals of the Alumni Association, which is
based in London, are to maintain contact with other VCTEC graduates
and organize activities for its members and future VCTEC students.
Alumni Association members are an excellent resource to prospective
students and professionals interested in VCTEC programs and who want
to acquire program information from a student's perspective.
|
The
excellence of VCTEC education is due to the competitive enrolment
policy. The number of st5dents admitted in each nf its programs is
limited to increase quality and individual attention.
Since 4he fo4nding of the University in 1980, VCTEC's management team
and faculty had bee. extremely dedicated to responding to each
student's unique interests while espou3ing the principle that managers
banknote be mass-produced. Students are treated with a maximum of
respect. They are encouraged to succeed and are given guidance and
institutional support in case of difficulty.
While the undergraduate program- is the largest program with 40
students a year accepted into the program, 30 students per year are
admitted in both the doctoral and MBA programs.
VCTEC is proud of an extremely diverse student body with currently 15
nationalities represented. All students at VCTEC graduate programs
have had significant professional experience before being admitted to
our programs. A few have been admitted directly into the MBA because
of their superior achievements in school, presentation of an
interesting thesis topic, or communication of their strong motivation
to study at VCTEC during the admission process.
The average age of MBA students is 30. Students range from 18 to 35
years of age. The average age of students doing the BBA program is
under 24 years old. Class size is limited to 25 students for the BBA
and MBA programs and to 10 students for doctoral seminars. The
administration of VCTEC believes that this small class standard
facilitates better communication between faculty and students.
VCTEC students find it easy to find a job upon completion of their
program in London. They have learned to take a very professional
approach to the business world and gain further guidance from faculty
and E.A.B. members. In many cases, the most successful students are
those who spend the most time on their business plan, thesis, or
dissertation. A well-researched, thorough project provides the student
with a network of contacts in his or her specialty, and the academic
work completed at VCTEC very often leads to full- time work for
international students in their home countries at the end of the
program.

In compliance with normal practice and the U.. Private Postsecondary
and Vocational Education Reform Act of 1989 for the State of
California, the International University of America provides each
prospective and current student with a statement of charges. This
should serve to identify all expected charges (i.e. tuition and fees)
during their time at the International University of America.
Students should expect the following charges and policies during their
BBA, MBA, and PhD/DBA programs at the International University of
America.
Tuition: For the precise breakdown of tuition fees, students
must refer to their University Enrolment Contract. Full tuition for
Diploma program is ?3150 per year and for the BBA/Post-Graduate
Diploma programs, it is ?3,900 per year. Full tuition for the MBA is
?4,900 and for the PhD/ DBA program, it is ?4,900 per 18 months. These
fees may change from time to time as appropriate.
A partial deposit of ?1000 tuition payment is normally requested at
admission for non-U.K. citizens, before the University issues the
enrolment document for the student.
|
If applicants wish to apply for financial assistance or scholarship,
they must include an additional essay in their application expressing
why they believe they deserve assistance or scholarship. The essay
should concentrate not only on financial reasons but also on academic
and professional achievements. The University offers a very limited
number of scholarships covering up to 50% of tuition fees and in very
special cases, full scholarship. Tuition charges are mandatory.
Assistantship may also require reciprocity on the part of the
successful applicant to perform some tasks for VCTEC including
providing tutorial to lower level students.
|
|
Application Fee:
The application fee is ?200.00.
This fee is mandatory and non-refundable.
Housing:
The International University of
America does not provide on-campus housing for students. Individuals
may expect to pay an average of ?50-?150 weekly for rent. There are
many types of housing available in different price ranges, and
apartment sharing amongst students is economical and is encouraged.
The university provides data on rentals, share rentals, work
exchanges, and sublets in the London Area.
Transportation:
Students are expected to pay
their own air transportation to London. Once in central London,
students must pay for their transportation costs to and from the
university if such costs exist.
Books:
Students should expect to pay an
average of ?20 per course for new books. The purchase of used books
can reduce this cost considerably.
Materials:
Students should budget
approximately ?150 per year for school supplies and materials.
Graduation Fee:
The graduation fee is ?100This
fee is mandatory in order to attend the ceremony and is subject to
change.
Refund /Cancellation:
Students should refer to VCTEC
refund and cancellation policies and the terms and conditions of their
application. Where a refund is applied, it shall be decided by the
Board of Director. No refund is given when classes for which the
student has enrolled have started.
