History of the College
Spencerian College was founded in Louisville, Kentucky in 1892 by Enos Spencer,
a nationally recognized business educator of his time. In the history book entitled
Beginning of the Business School, author Charles G. Reigner states:
“The name Spencerian has imbedded itself in the consciousness
of the American people. The name has been associated with business
schools for almost a hundred years. It is an honored name.”
The name Spencerian still proudly stands for quality career education, and has
expanded into Allied Health and Technology as a growing dynamic institution.
Thousands of Spencerian graduates hold positions in businesses, medical
professions, and industries all across the country, and employers continue to seek
Spencerian graduates to meet their employment needs.
Spencerian College is proud of its distinctive reputation earned over the last century.

aided design equipment, software, electrical/electronic diagnostic equipment, robots, current
drafting equipment, design laboratories, networking laboratories, and a learning resource

Accommodations For Students With Disabilities
Spencerian College recognizes and supports the standards set forth in Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which are designed
to prevent discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities.  Disabilities are defined as
mental and/or physical impairments which substantially limit one or more of a person’s major life
activities, and which necessitate modifications to the facilities, programs, or services of the college.
Spencerian college is committed to making reasonable accommodations for qualifying students
in accordance with law and to creating full accessibility to campus facilities.  Spencerian College
cannot, however, make accommodations that are unduly burdensome or that fundamentally alter
the nature of the college’s programs.  In every case of documented disability, the college will make
a good faith effort to determine an effective approach to providing academic accommodation.
Qualifying students need to contact the Academic Dean at the beginning of their program to ensure
that they benefit from the maximum assistance possible. Medical documentation of their disability
and the requested accommodations must be presented in writing at that time.
It is the responsibility of the student to inform the institution of any disabilities, physical and/
or mental, which might in any way affect the student’s academic progress. The college will
make reasonable accommodation to meet the needs of any student with a disability. Physical
accommodations currently provided include special parking facilities, ramped entrances, and
accessible water fountains and restroom facilities. A valid, state issued, handicapped parking
identification, in addition to the required school parking permit, must be displayed by any vehicle
parked in the handicapped parking areas.

population of adult learners with different goals in furthering academic or vocational
training, or refreshing skills to improve employment opportunities. This service provides
comprehensive instruction in a way that fits their time restrictions.

requirements in a certified program recognized by the Kentucky Department of
Education (e.g. Christian Home Educators of Kentucky or Kentucky Home Education
Association) must have their certificate of completion or a high school diploma
provided by the local public school district. Other homeschooled applicants will be
required to obtain their GED.
High School Transitions Program
The Spencerian College Transitions Program provides high school seniors the
opportunity to attend classes without tuition cost (fees, books, and supplies are the
responsibility of the student). This program is designed to provide the opportunity to
have a post-secondary educational experience regardless of their eventual college or
career choice.

Admission of International Students/
English as a Second Language Policy
Spencerian College-Lexington encourages international understanding through
intercultural exchange derived from the admission of qualified international
students from countries throughout the world. The college’s academic requirements
for admission, as described in other sections, must be met. All necessary
documents, including academic records, financial certificates, and a proof of English
language proficiency, must be received before permission to enroll may be given.
The I-20 Form can then be issued. Records in any language other than English must
be accompanied by a certified English translation. English translations must be done
by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member.
           
Financial ability must be demonstrated by completion of a financial certificate,
including signatures of the sponsor and a bank official. Persons receiving a
scholarship may demonstrate financial ability by sending an original or certified copy
of the award letter, including the amount of the scholarship or the expenses it covers.
The college may require an advance deposit of funds to cover one year’s tuition and
living expenses of all non-immigrant international students from a particular country
before issuance of the I-20 Form.
All applicants from non-English speaking countries are required to take the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), offered by the Educational Testing Service.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain the necessary information and application
forms and to take the test by a date that assures the results are reported to the college
by the required deadlines. Only TOEFL scores of 173 (computer-based), 500 (paperbased), or 61 (Internet-based) will be considered for admission to any program in the
college.
Re-Entering Requirements
A student wishing to re-enter Spencerian College-Lexington after a leave of absence
must see the re-entry coordinator.  In order for the student to be successful, the reentry coordinator will review all academic and financial aid records and conduct a
satisfactory academic progress analysis in order to make a determination regarding
the student’s qualification for re-entry. Approval of the department chair is required
for some programs. Re-entry in specific programs may result in being placed at the
bottom of the clinical rotation list.
The student has the right to appeal the decision to the Executive Director. All reentering students will be required to pay the current tuition rate for their remaining
classes.
Notice to Medical Career Students
Spencerian College teaches to the permit, license, and certification standards of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. If you plan to work in any state other than Kentucky,
it is your responsibility to verify that state’s permit, license, or certification
requirements. A state’s requirements may include, among other things, specialized
training that is not required in Kentucky, and as a result may not be sufficiently
covered in Spencerian’s curriculum. Spencerian disclaims responsibility for failure of
any student to meet the educational requirements for a permit, license, or certification
in any jurisdiction other than Kentucky.
There are instances where TOEFL scores may not be required, such as for:
• Non-native speakers who hold degrees or diplomas from post-secondary
institutions in English-speaking countries
• Non-native speakers who have successfully completed at least a two-year
course of study in which English was the language of instruction
• Non-native speakers who have successfully pursued academic work at schools
where English was the language of instruction in an English-speaking country
for a specified period, generally two years
The Executive Director reserves the right to require the student to take and submit
TOEFL scores.
Applications received from international students will be reviewed on a competitive
basis. Fulfillment of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the
college. An effort will be made to admit students from a variety of countries.

Attendance Policy
Every Spencerian College student is expected to maintain satisfactory attendance,
conduct, and progress.  These factors are essential in the workplace, and they are
considered vital factors of your training at Spencerian.  The college will notify students
in the case of an unsatisfactory condition.  Specific regulations are published in the
Student Handbook (Supplement B), which is furnished to all students upon entrance.
Grading Scale and the Quarter System
The college operates on a quarter system (four 11-week sessions during a calendar
year).  Therefore, credits are given on a quarter-hour basis rather than on a semester or
unit basis.  Grades and quality points are based on the following levels of achievement:

tMedical Laboratory Technician clinical courses
consist of 352 hours of on-the-job training. These
courses are available only during the day.
Student grade point averages are reviewed at the end of each quarter. This review, plus
conferences with instructors and/or students, determines whether the student will be allowed
to continue as a Spencerian student.
52
53
The following specialized programs have a different numeric grading scale for
program major courses: Radiologic Technologist Associate Degree and Limited
X-Ray Machine Operator Diploma.
Grade Point Average
Grade Point Averages (GPA) are calculated on the 4.0 system. The GPA is calculated
by multiplying the quality points earned for each grade by the credit hours given for
that course, summing the quality point totals, and dividing the sum by the credit hours
attempted.

Definition of Credit Hour
Academic progress at Spencerian College-Lexington is measured in quarter-credit
hours.  A quarter hour of credit is defined as approximately 10 net clock hours
of lecture, 20 net clock hours of laboratory or 30 net clock hours of clinical or
externship.  A net clock hour is defined as 50 minutes.
Withdrawal Policy
Any student withdrawing from class(es) is advised to meet with Financial Planning
and the Registrar’s office in order to perform an exit interview. The purpose of
the exit interview is to assess the academic and financial status of the student and
complete a financial aid review.
A student who withdraws during the first seven weeks of the quarter will receive a
grade of “W”, which will not be calculated in the cumulative grade point average
(CGPA).  A student who withdraws after the seventh week of the quarter will receive
a “WF”, which will be calculated into the student’s CGPA, and will carry no quality
points.
Withdrawal from a class at any time will affect the student’s Quantitative Academic
Progress.  Excessive withdrawals from classes may result in quantitative academic
progress probation and/or suspension.
Any student who withdraws from school in good standing may return to complete
his/her program.  A re-entering student will be required to adhere to the school’s
new policies and curriculum if changes have occurred.  A full-program student who
has withdrawn from all classes will be required to pay the current tuition rate for
remaining classes upon re-entry.
54
Students enrolled in quarterly/individual subjects will pay the current credit hour
tuition rate each time a class is attempted.
Refer to the Withdrawal Refund Chart in this catalog for the college’s refund policy.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
All students of Spencerian College-Lexington must meet the following minimum
standards of academic achievement and successful course completion while enrolled. 
The student’s progress will be evaluated at appointed intervals of attendance to
determine Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).  The institution does not allow
students to remain in school who are not meeting SAP.
A. Qualitative Standards (Cumulative Grade Point Average)
Full-time students (those enrolled in at least 12 credit hours) must maintain the
following Cumulative Grade Point average (CGPA) on a 4.0 scale:
• 1.6 at the end of the 1st quarter
• 1.8 at the end of the 2nd quarter
• 2.0 at the end of the 3rd and all subsequent quarters
Part-time students (those enrolled in less than 12 credit hours) must maintain the
following cumulative grade point average (CGPA) on a 4.0 scale:
• 1.6 upon reaching 12 credit hours attempted
• 1.8 upon reaching 26 credit hours attempted
• 2.0 upon reaching 40 credit hours attempted and beyond
For purposes of calculating CGPA, any courses taken where a grade of A, B, C, D,
F, WF, or I is assigned are considered attempted.  Courses where a grade of A, B, C,
or D is assigned are considered earned and quality points are assigned and used in
CGPA calculation.
B. Quantitative Standards (Maximum Time Frame)
Each student is expected to register and complete his or her program in the normal
time frame, as noted on specific program pages.  Completion of program cannot
exceed 1.5 times the stated normal time frame.  Each quarter, quantitative SAP will
be measured by comparing the number of attempted credit hours with the credit
hours earned (i.e. those attempted hours where an acceptable passing grade was
earned). The total of attempted credit hours will include all courses in which the
student was actively enrolled. Students must earn a minimum of 2/3 of credit hours
attempted to maintain SAP.
The following are considered when evaluating quantitative student SAP:
• Withdrawals, incompletes, instructor drops, and failures are considered
as hours attempted, but not earned.
• Bypass credit earned through testing is considered as both attempted
and earned, but is not used in calculating cumulative GPA.
• Transfer credit is considered as both attempted and earned, but is not
used in calculating cumulative GPA.
• Repeated courses are included in both attempted and earned hours in
quantitative measures.
• Courses audited are not considered as attempted or earned.
55
•
Upon the change of a student’s major, only those credits previously
taken that will apply to the new program will be considered as
attempted and earned.
C. Academic Probation/Suspension
Students who fail to maintain SAP as outlined above will be placed on academic
probation for the next quarter of attendance.  During the probationary quarter, the
student’s progress will be monitored by the department chair.  The student may be
required to seek additional tutoring during the probationary quarter.  At the end of the
probationary quarter, the student’s SAP will be reviewed for the following:
•
•
Qualitative and quantitative standards met — student will be removed
from probation
Qualitative and/or quantitative not met — student will be academically
suspended
Students who can demonstrate that extreme mitigating circumstances caused the
academic shortcomings may be exempt from suspension for one term.  Students
must submit a written appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee providing
documentation of such circumstances.
D. Appeal Procedure
An appeals process may be initiated if a student disagrees with the application of the
satisfactory progress standards. The student will be notified by the Academic Dean
when he or she is placed on academic probation or suspension. In order to appeal
this decision, the student must immediately submit a letter to the Academic Appeals
Committee (AAC). The student must provide evidence of extenuating, mitigating,
or emergency (i.e. health, family, or catastrophe) circumstances along with the letter
of appeal.  The AAC renders a decision after reviewing all materials presented and
provides a written response.  If the appeal is denied, the student will remain on
academic probation or suspension for a minimum of one quarter, or may apply for
extended enrollment status. 
E. Mitigating Circumstances
Standards of academic progress may be waived due to mitigating circumstances.
The AAC will consider documentation of poor health, family crisis, or any other
significant occurrence outside the control of the student.
Upon approval of academic reinstatement, the AAC will then determine if the
student’s Federal Title IV financial aid eligibility is to be reinstated.  The committee’s
determination of financial aid ineligibility will stand until SAP (both qualitatively
and quantitatively) is met.
 
Upon reinstatement from suspension, the student will re-enter on academic probation
and will remain on probation until quarterly SAP is maintained. Once the student has
met the requirements for SAP, the student will be removed from probation.  Federal
Title IV financial aid eligibility may be restored at this time. Failure to achieve SAP
while on probation following suspension will result in the student’s termination from
the institution without the possibility of reinstatement, or the student may choose to
pursue a certificate of completion.
Any transfer credit earned from another accredited institution during the suspension
period may be used to satisfy credit deficiencies. Grade changes to previously
unsatisfactory grades may be considered in satisfying completion rate and GPA
deficiencies.
G. Extended Enrollment Status/Certificate of Completion
Students who have been suspended for not maintaining SAP may continue their
study at the institution, at their own expense.  Students in extended enrollment status
must attempt to correct their academic deficiencies by re-taking failed courses or
courses in which a higher grade could be earned.  Once SAP has been reestablished,
a student may apply for reinstatement as a regular student by submitting a request
in writing to the AAC.  The AAC, in conjunction with the Academic Dean, will
conduct an academic evaluation and make a determination on the desire and ability
of the student to satisfactorily complete the program.  The AAC has the discretionary
authority to accept or reject a student’s request to be reinstated as a regular student.
Upon approval of reinstatement as a regular student, Federal Title IV financial aid
eligibility will be reestablished. 
Students who pursue a certificate of completion will not be eligible to receive
Federal Title IV financial aid.  The student will not receive the original academic
credential and will instead receive a certificate of completion.
Credit by Proficiency Exam Or Transfer
The student must demonstrate that the mitigating circumstance had an adverse
impact on his or her academic performance.
Proficiency Exam
This is an examination designed to measure the student’s level of knowledge and/or
skill in a given course or courses.
Waivers will not be granted for graduation requirements.
Some examples of reasons for proficiency testing are as follows:
F. Reinstatement
After the suspension period has been served, the suspended student may apply for
reinstatement to the institution by submitting a request, in writing, to the AAC. Along
with the written request, the student will need to provide evidence of extenuating
circumstances leading to the academic suspension.  The AAC has the discretionary
authority to accept or reject a suspended student’s request for reinstatement. The
decision of the AAC will be submitted to the student in writing.
56
A. The student has completed extensive high school work above the
normal curriculum which would make certain basic courses repetitious.
B. The student has, through actual work experience, attained the
knowledge and competency skills required in certain courses.
57
C. The student has taken course work at another institution of postsecondary education which is not transferable but has given him/her
sufficient background to make certain courses repetitious.
D. The student has completed coursework in an apprenticeship or
vocational program.
E. The student has completed studies in civil or military training.
Proficiency exams may be oral and/or written. In addition, a laboratory examination
may be required when a demonstration of skill may be necessary.
To be eligible for proficiency examinations, a prospective student must complete all
admissions application steps, entry exams, and eligibility requirements.
The exams must be completed prior to the end of the first week of the quarter in
which credit is sought. Once a student has attended a class beyond the first week,
proficiency exams cannot be administered.
Early testing for proficiency by-pass credit is recommended to avoid delays in proper
scheduling. The academic department will be able to inform the student which
classes are available for proficiency exams. The student must make arrangements for
testing with the academic department.
A score of 87% is required on all exams in order to earn proficiency credit.
The Radiology Department accepts transfer credits that are no more than five years
old for general requirements and accepts radiology core courses that are no more
than one year old if the student has no work experience.
Transfer Credit to Spencerian College-Lexington
Any student transferring from another college or university must provide Spencerian
College-Lexington with an official transcript of courses completed.
The college accepts credit from other accredited post-secondary institutions. Credits
will be approved only for those courses that are equivalent to courses offered at
Spencerian College-Lexington. Only courses in which the student earned a C or
higher will be considered for transfer.
The Registrar is responsible for determining course work that transfers into a
program of study at the college. To earn a degree, students must take at least 25% of
all program requirements at Spencerian College-Lexington.
Because of the ongoing developments in the medical field, some departments require
that program-specific credits transferred must be credits received within a limited
time frame. See programmatic handbooks for further detailed information.
Transfer Credit from Spencerian College-Lexington
Spencerian College-Lexington will assist any student who should decide to pursue
an advanced degree upon graduation. The Academic Dean is available to review your
plans and assist with the transfer.          
58
Although Spencerian College is nationally accredited, transfer of credits from any
college to another institution cannot be guaranteed as the receiving college has the final
decision in credit transfer matters. No representation is made whatsoever concerning
the transferability of credits to any institution.
Any student who wishes to continue his or her education, or transfer to another institution,
must not assume that credits earned at Spencerian College-Lexington will be accepted
by the receiving institution. An institution’s accreditation does not guarantee that credits
earned at that institution will be accepted for transfer by any other institution.
Students must contact the registrar of the receiving institution to determine what credits,
if any, that institution will accept.
Repeating a Course
A student is required to repeat any course in which he or she receives a “D” or “F”,
as well as any course from which he or she has withdrawn prior to completion.
The new grade will replace the original grade for the purposes of calculation of
the cumulative GPA. However, both courses will be considered as attempted credit
hours for the purpose of determining successful course completion percentages
(quantitative progress).
Satisfactory progress applies not only to academics but also to financial aid. Once a
student has been removed from probationary status, and is returning after an academic
suspension, he or she may not be able to receive federal financial aid until standards of
academic progress, as outlined, are met. Students may not receive aid retroactively for
those quarters during which they did not achieve satisfactory progress.
Program Changes
All students will have one opportunity to make a program change free of charge. 
For every program change thereafter, there will be an administrative fee. 
Whether a program change or a student wishing to earn an additional degree, only
courses relevant to the new program will transfer and will be counted in calculations
of completion rate and CGPA.  If courses previously taken are irrelevant to the new
program, they will not be calculated in the CGPA and completion rate.
Students on academic probation cannot make a program change until they are in
good academic standing.
Graduation
Graduation ceremonies are held bi-annually for all graduates.  Guest speakers, award
presentations, and the conferring of degrees, diplomas, and certificates will occur
during this event.
Distance Education Admissions
Students are provided questions to assess their technical ability and personal traits
for success in a distance education course. A student’s acceptance into a class is
contingent upon the student’s eligibility to take the class. The Registrar will verify
that the student has met the prerequisites and course requirements.
59
Students who are accepted into a class will receive a confirmation of registration that
includes the following:
D. If a satisfactory resolution is not achieved by meeting with the Academic
Dean, they would then meet with the Executive Director.
•
•
•
•
•
E. If further action is deemed necessary, the student may file a written
grievance with the Executive Vice President by mailing it to:
Course number(s)
Instructions for accessing the course web page
Student logon and password for the course
Information on how to immediately access the introductory course,
“Succeeding as a Distance Learning Student at the Sullivan University System.”
Date the course(s) will be available to access (Monday of Week 1)
Students must purchase any software that may be required for a specific course.
Students must also be prepared to attend at least two live sessions on campus.
Student Grievance Procedure
Students who have questions or grievances may follow the guidelines outlined below
to seek a resolution.
A. Students should first meet with the faculty or staff member with whom they
have the complaint to try and resolve the matter.
B. If a satisfactory resolution is not achieved, they may then proceed to the
next step, which is to contact the faculty or staff member’s immediate
supervisor. If the complaint is with an instructor, the student would

Policy on Return of Title IV Funds
Federal financial aid funds are awarded with the expectation that students
earn a percentage of funds as they are disbursed with each day of class attendance
each quarter. When a student has received federal financial aid funds (Title IV
Funds) and withdraws before the end of the term, federal law requires the college
to calculate the percentage and amount of unearned financial aid funds that must be
returned to the federal government. This calculation may have the effect of requiring
the student to repay funds that he or she has received. Once a student has completed
more than 60% of a quarter, he or she is considered to have earned all funding
received. Students are encouraged to meet with their financial aid administrator prior
to making the decision to withdraw from school.
Institutional Withdrawal and Refund Policy for all Continuing Students
In the event a student withdraws or is terminated during the second or subsequent
quarters of enrollment, they will have the following tuition obligation:
Weeks 1-3: Obligation is 75% of thae quarter’s tuition plus $100.
Weeks 4-11: Obligation is 100% of the quarter’s tuition.
Institutional Withdrawal Policy for Distance Education Students
Distance Education students withdrawing or being terminated by the school will fall
under the refund guidelines of the Department of Education.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Financial Planning
The college is interested in assisting those students who are sincere in their pursuit of
an education. For this reason, the staff of the Financial Planning Office is available to
arrange a schedule of payments that will best meet the student’s financial obligations,
thus decreasing the financial burden of the student and his or her family. Contact the
Admissions Office for an appointment.
           
Payment Plans
Although many students pay tuition in-full at entry, the college offers quarterly and
other tuition self-payment plans. A plan tailored to meet any student’s needs can be
arranged. Payment plans can be set up internally with the college.
The order by which funds are to be repaid are as follows:
1. Unsubsidized FFEL/Direct Stafford Loan
2. Subsidized FFEL/Direct Stafford Loan

4. FFEL/Direct Plus
5. Pell Grant
6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
7. Other Title IV Programs

the college.

resources. All books and supplies needed are available in the college bookstore, but

Affording Spencerian College
While not everyone may believe they are financially able to afford attending a
college or university, we believe that everyone who aspires to higher education can
afford Spencerian College.
From this understanding, we approach financing for college with the expectation that
there is a way, if the student really desires an education.
For this reason, Spencerian College-Lexington has a Financial Planning Office with a
staff that is thoroughly knowledgeable about today’s student financial aid programs,
including grants, loans, and scholarships. In addition, our staff is knowledgeable
about educational programs from national, state, and local workforce development
programs, as well as programs for veterans.
his or her Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number, the cost of education at
Spencerian College-Lexington, whether the student is full-time or part-time, and how
long the student will be enrolled in the academic year.
Direct Lending/FFEL Stafford Loans
Stafford Loans, either subsidized or unsubsidized, are available for qualified
borrowers. These loans are for regular, degree-seeking students who are enrolled
in an eligible program of study at least half time, and as long as general eligibility
requirements are met.
A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need. If one qualifies for a
subsidized loan, the federal government pays interest on the loan until repayment
begins and during authorized periods of deferment thereafter.
An unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis of need. If a student qualifies for
an unsubsidized loan, he or she will be charged interest from the time the loan is
disbursed until it is paid in full. A student may choose to pay the interest or allow it
to accumulate. If it does accumulate, it will be capitalized, that is, the interest will be
added to the principal amount of the loan, which will increase the amount that must
be repaid. Hence, if the interest is paid as it accumulates, the repayment will be less
in the long term.
Federal Perkins Loans
• For those who qualify - repayment is required
• Meant for undergraduate and graduate students
• A campus-based program
• The amount of funds is based on need and the availability of funds
The Financial Planning Office will offer advice and help find ways to achieve the
financial assistance necessary to complete any student’s college education. Students
who wish to consider financial assistance are urged to contact the Financial Planning
Office as early as possible.
The Perkins Loan is a low-interest loan to help pay for a student’s education.
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS

financial aid programs. As directed by the U.S Department of Education, federal
funds are allocated to the lowest income families first, but funds are also available
for middle and upper-income families who qualify.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
• For those who qualify, no repayment is required
• A campus-based program
• Meant for undergraduates only
• The amount of the award is based on need and availability of funds
Prospective students are encouraged to apply for early admission in order to ensure
financial aid can be completed by Registration Day.
Federal Pell Grants
• For those who qualify - repayment is not required
• For undergraduates only
Pell Grants are awards to help an undergraduate pay for his or her education after
high school. For many students, these grants provide a foundation of financial aid, to
which aid from other federal and non-federal sources may be added. Unlike loans,
grants do not have to be paid back. Pell Grant awards for the academic year will
depend on program funding. How much a student actually receives will depend upon

financial aid for which the student is eligible.
Workforce Development Programs
These programs assist students who have a substantial handicap to employment.
The amount available depends on the individual circumstances of each applicant.
Information can be obtained from the Workforce Development Counselor in the
student’s hometown district.
College Access Program (CAP)
The amount awarded is determined by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance
Authority (KHEAA). CAP eligibility is in-line with Pell Grant eligibility. Repayment
is not required. Only associate degree students qualify.
Career Education Funds (CEF)

for students who do not qualify for adequate amounts of financial assistance. The
loan amount varies according to need. Students are allowed to borrow a maximum

FIVE STEPS FOR YOUR SUCCESS
As an innovator in career education, Spencerian College has adopted “Five Steps for
Your Success,” a unique way of offering its students the quality education they seek.
1. The Four-Day School Week. Many certificate, diploma and associate degree
students attend classes Monday through Thursday.
2. Friday - The “Plus” Day. Friday mornings provide an important “plus” to
both students and faculty. All facilities and equipment are available for
individual study and practice, and faculty members are ready to schedule
personal conferences and give special assistance. If extra study is not
required, the 3-day weekend is extra time for personal and/or academic
development. Programs requiring Friday classes offer additional assistance
at other times.
3. A Career-First Curriculum. Job-readiness is the key. In most majors, Spencerian
College students concentrate exclusively in areas of career education during
a 6-12 month certificate or diploma program. Then, if a student decides to
continue toward the associate degree, advanced courses are taken during
the final few months or quarters of each degree program.
4. A Certificate or Diploma in a Year or Less; An Associate Degree in Less Than Two Years.
That’s right... in only 6-12 months you can be job-ready with a certificate
or diploma from one of Spencerian College’s fast-paced, career-track
programs. And, an associate degree program can be completed in only 18-27
months of study.
5. Lifetime, Nationwide Employment Services. Spencerian College graduates
automatically receive Nationwide, Lifetime, Employment Services and
Lifetime Review Privileges. Our Career Services office gives graduates
the opportunity for career advancement and prospective new jobs at no
additional cost.
