ADMISSIONS
Types of students:
Degree-Seeking Students
University applicants pursuing Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees at HUC are considered degree-seeking
students.
Non-Degree Seeking Students

Students are not required to enter a degree program if enrolling for stand-alone courses for personal or
professional reasons. Students under a Non-Degree Seeking Status may take courses up to a maximum
of 25 credit units at HUC. Although official documentation of previous coursework is not required for
admission under the Non-Degree Seeking Student status, applicants must submit an unofficial transcript or
academic history verifying that the course requirements have been met.
Students solely pursuing a specific Area of Concentration are admitted under Non-degree Seeking Status
and may complete the maximum number of credits required for the selected certificate. These credits
must be in the required coursework to complete the certificate for which the student has applied.
Students wishing to continue at HUC beyond Non-degree Seeking Status must apply to transfer to
Degree Seeking Status by completing a new HUC Application for Admission form that indicates the
desired degree and specialization. At that time, all requirements for degree-seeking students must be
met. Specific situations may warrant exceptions to the maximum number of credits allowable under Non-
degree Seeking Status. The Admissions Officer makes this determination.
Admission procedure and requirements:

Prospective students should contact the Hayward University Admissions Office for information concerning
the University. An appointment will be set to review the program for which the student is eligible, to tour
the school, and to review the admission requirements. The Admissions Office will assist the student to
develop a program of study that will be individually designed to enable the student to achieve the targeted
educational goals.
Hayward University (HUC) welcomes applications from all students, possessing an Associate’s degree or
equivalent, who are qualified to achieve the University’s educational goals, without regard to gender,
race, creed, age, disability, national origin, or religious belief. Applications and registrations are accepted
on an ongoing basis. Courses are conducted in a quarterly time-frame system. Early submission is
encouraged to allow sufficient time to process application materials and to qualify for entrance into the
following academic quarter. A minimum of three months is recommended.
Students must complete all application requirements before being considered for admission. All students
applying for admission must submit a complete and accurate application package including all required
academic and professional credentials.
Applications to the University are considered current for 12 months from the date of submission.
Admission requirements must be met within 12 months of this date. Should this not occur, students will be
notified in writing and consequently must reapply for the application process to continue. The Admissions
Office processes all applications, evaluates transcripts, and makes decisions regarding acceptance and
application of allowable transfer credits to the program of study. For admission and transfer credit
purposes, the University recognizes only coursework from and credits earned at regionally or nationally
accredited (or equivalent) colleges and universities.
Students are granted the Admitted Status after all documents have been received, the admission file has
been evaluated, and all admission requirements have been met. After all of the admissions requirements
are found to be correct and acceptable the student will be issued a formal letter of acceptance which will
allow them to begin attending classes.
Submitting incomplete, false, or misleading information is considered grounds for denial and dismissal at
any time. The University reserves the right to cancel admission or registration of an individual whose
attendance at the University, in the opinion of the appropriate administrative officials, would not be
mutually beneficial to the student and the institution.
Admission Policy:
Applying for Admissions:

A comprehensive application is comprised of all vocational, professional, and academic education.
Official Transcripts from previously attended colleges or universities must be provided prior to enrollment.
Transcripts must include secondary education for bachelor’s degree students. Foreign transcripts must be
translated to English to ensure accuracy in awarding credits and in determining the eligibility of the
student.
Application materials will be evaluated to determine the amount of credit that will be allowed for past
academic learning. From that evaluation, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be designed for
each student. This IEP demonstrates how the student may achieve his or her degree goal in the most
direct way and with the least tuition cost. The applicant will be notified of acceptance with an official letter
containing an Enrollment Agreement (EA). Upon receipt of the IEP and the EA, the applicant should
assess of what must be accomplished academically as well as the total cost for the program.
At that point, the applicant can make the decision to enroll or cancel the application procedure. Hayward
University reserves the right to reject any and all applicants. In addition, The University reserves the right
to reject documentation and to request verification of documents as necessary. Additional documentation
in support of an applicant’s candidacy may be requested as deemed necessary by the University. The
University may check applicants for any criminal convictions. Application documents are the property of
the University and will not be returned to the applicant.
Academic Credential Evaluations from Colleges and Universities:

Students who wish to transfer credits from institutions based outside the United States must first have
those credits evaluated by an organization or agency accepted by Hayward University. HUC recognizes
all members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services ("NACES"). A list of the
members of NACES can be found at www.naces.org.
Criminal Background Check:

When applying to the University, applicants must disclose any prior criminal convictions. Failure to
disclose prior convictions is grounds for immediate dismissal from the University. The University reserves
the right to conduct criminal background checks on any applicant or student at any time.
Notification of Admission Status:

Students are notified of admission decisions by mail within four weeks of receipt of all application
materials including official transcripts.
Denial of Admission:
Applicants will be denied admission to the University if, after all documentation has been provided, it is
determined that the University’s admission requirements have not been met. Students submitting false,
incomplete or misleading information will be denied admission and academically dismissed.
Admission Appeal:
An applicant, whose admission to the University is denied, may file a written appeal of the decision with
the Admissions Officer. The applicant must provide an explanation of extenuating circumstances or other
pertinent information that is, in the student’s opinion, relevant to the decision. Upon receipt of the written
appeal and supporting information, the Admissions Officer will review the appeal and render a decision.
Applicants will be notified by mail of the Admissions Officer’s decision, which may include specific
requirements and/or recommendations.
Should the denial be upheld, further appeals will not be considered for 12 months from the date of the
denial. At that time, the student may petition for admission by submitting a letter describing the reasons
for previous academic deficiencies and a statement explaining how these issues have been resolved. Re-
admission applications should be submitted to the attention of the Admissions Officer.
Re-admission:
Students who interrupt their enrollment for more than 12 consecutive months must apply for re-admission
by completing a new HUC Application for Admission. Official transcripts from all colleges or universities
attended since the last enrollment at Hayward University will be required.
Admissions requirements:
Bachelor’s Degree Admission requirements:

All undergraduate degree applicants are eligible for admission at the Bachelor’s level by having earned
an Associate’s Degree or having completed two years of study at University level after earning a High
School Diploma. Students possessing an Associate degree will be able to enter classes at the Junior
level. Those that have completed two years of study at University level will have their transcripts
evaluated to see if they meet the requirements for their general education courses. Satisfaction of the
above criteria will be determined by an in-depth evaluation conducted by Hayward University consisting of
formal education, specialized training, or military education.
Master’s Degree Admission requirements:

An individual is eligible for admission at the Master’s level by having earned a Bachelor’s degree. A
student counselor will assist students in developing a program of study that will allow the students to
reach their educational goals.
Transfer credits & experiential learning:

Transfer credit may be accepted for educational courses taken within the last five years. The student
must present a transcript issued by an institution during the admissions process. Hayward University does
NOT recognize experiential learning credits.
Notice: Transferability of credits and degrees earned at Hayward University:

The transferability of credits you earn at Hayward University is at the complete discretion of an institution
to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree you earn is also at the complete discretion
of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the credits or degree you earn at this institution are
not accepted at the institution you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your
coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain that your attendance at this
institution will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may
seek to transfer after attending Hayward University to determine if your credits or degree will transfer.

traditional and non-traditional approaches in a way that best serves our student populations. Our Faculty
consists of a blend of academically prepared members (Master-degree or higher) and working professionals,
many of which have international experience. They bring both theoretical and practical knowledge and skill to
their teaching and facilitate student collaboration to maximize teaching and learning.
Hayward University teaching includes lectures, discussion, group work, case studies, projects, student
presentations, and application of concepts and theory to real world situations. Students are encouraged to
target their assignments to issues and projects directly related to practice, taking into account a range of
multicultural and international perspectives.
Assessment of Student Learning

It is important to Hayward University that students leave the University with all the skills and knowledge
needed to be successful in the real world and that they graduate with confidence to take the next steps in
their continuing education and careers. As a result, Hayward University has developed a process for assessing
students’ learning throughout the course of their degree program. Our educational process is designed to
provide ongoing feedback to students and faculty, as well as supplemental support and resources as needed,
while minimizing additional work.
Hayward University Policy for Group-Project Grading

Hayward University focuses on individual learning outcome and students are evaluated on their individual work.
However, the ability to participate in or lead groups of individuals is highly encouraged and to this end
courses may include small group assignments. The group assignments are designed in such a way that the
contributions of its individual members may be recognized and graded.

ACADEMIC POLICIES:
Transfer credits
Hayward University is a private institution that accepts transfer credits for college-level coursework from
accredited institutions. Course transfers are accepted on an individual basis. Previously attended
institutions must be approved by regional or professional accrediting associations or be otherwise
recognized by the University (e.g., articulation agreements).
Hayward University will accept transfer credits from classes taken from accredited institutions upon
approval. The classes must closely correspond with Hayward University courses, and the student must
have earned a grade of ―”C” or higher. To earn transfer credit, a student must follow these steps:
Step 1: Submit the Admission Application together with the application fee and a letter stating a desire to
transfer external university credits.
Step 2: Show that the class is equivalent to a class within Hayward University. To do this, a student
must submit a copy of the course description or a course syllabus with the letter requesting
transfer credit.
Step 3: Hayward University will then process the credit transfer request.
Step 4: Notification of the University’s decision will be sent to the student via email. No more than 50
percent of a program may be accepted for transfer of credits. Exceptions to this must be
approved by the Hayward University President. Transfer credits do not figure into the calculation
of a student’s GPA.
Fees and Payment

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure tuition, fees, and all other expenses relating to the
individual’s program are paid. The tuition and fees are made available to the students prior to the
academic year and are subject to review and revision each academic year. The student is bound by the
University’s regulations on the payment of fees, the refund of tuition in the event of termination of the
student’s studies, and the consequences of nonpayment.
Textbooks and Course Materials

All course work materials will be provided to the student upon enrollment and at the beginning of each
course. Students are expected to purchase their textbook(s) prior to the beginning of course. Students
who purchase textbooks through the University are assured of obtaining the correct versions or editions
for their Hayward University courses.
Student contact information

It is the responsibility of each student to maintain current personal and contact information on file with the
University. Students may change phone/address information by means of the Change of Information
Form which must be sent to the University.
Drop/add policy
The Office of Student Records must be notified of the student’s
intent to drop a course or degree program, or the student may
be subject to full tuition costs. Non-attendance does not
constitute an official withdrawal. To avoid a withdrawal (W)
being recorded on their permanent records, students must
notify the University or the affiliated learning center of their intent to drop.
Schedule Adjustments and Changes

The University reserves the right to make changes or cancelations at any time with regards to programs,
curriculum, start dates, policies and procedures, and other rules as deemed necessary. Students enrolled
in a course or degree program that has been cancelled will be contacted in a timely manner and shall
receive the opportunity to complete their study. Any changes will be made and implemented in
accordance to laws, regulations and standards that govern the University.
Withdrawal from the University

All students who find it necessary to interrupt their attendance at the University, withdraw from the
program, or take a leave of absence for any reason must contact the University or the affiliated learning
center.
Academic services
In addition to the actual lectures, students will have access to academic consultation services. Students
are able to interact with their guiding instructors via telephone, e-mail, printed materials, and other forms
of communication. Additionally, the instructors will have virtual office hours during which time they will
answer any questions and concerns of individual students.
Academic credits
All credits awarded by Hayward University are quarter-hour credits. Grades and credits awarded will
become official once they are recorded on the student’s permanent record in the University’s
administrative office. At the end of each academic period, grades and credits earned will be sent to the
student at the address specified by the student. Credits will only be awarded upon successful completion
of a course’s or project’s requirements.

Pass/no pass option

All Hayward University students are allowed the use of a Pass/No Pass option for a maximum of three
courses during their program of study. This option allows students to complete courses without impacting
their cumulative grade point average. To achieve a Pass, a student must earn the equivalent of a C (73 -
76%) in the course. Any lower grade will result in a No Pass. Neither Pass nor No Pass will be calculated
into a student’s overall grade average. The course will be recorded on the student transcript with the
appropriate P or NP grade. The choice to take a course under this option must be communicated to the
University before commencement of the course
Academic standards
Grade point average (GPA) is determined by number of credits earned times grade points earned divided
by total number of credits attempted. Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 and
achieve at least a C in the courses. Graduate students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and achieve
at least a B grade in the Thesis.
Graduation
When a student has completed all of the requirements for the program he/she is enrolled in, the student’s
file will be reviewed by the University. Upon a satisfactory review, the student will be awarded the
appropriate degree that is considered earned by that student. Each year, Hayward University will
organize a graduation ceremony. All students will be awarded their degrees at that time.

Academic conduct
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is expected of all students. Hayward University strives to be a healthy academic
community in which the individual student’s academic competency is measured and evaluated fairly and
honestly and one in which no student is disadvantaged by someone else’s dishonesty. All academic work
submitted must be properly cited in the body of work and represent the student’s original effort and product.
Where outside sources are used as references, all work submitted by the student must identify the original
source and make clear the extent to which the sources have been used.
The following acts of dishonesty help define those behaviors which violate academic integrity:
• plagiarism,
• cheating on an examination
• forging an instructor’s signature
• copying themes or tests from other students
• stealing an exam that has not yet been administered
• deliberately allowing another student to submit your work as his/her own
• submitting identical work in more than one course
• altering college records
• enlisting another person to write a paper for any class
• conduct detrimental to the student or other members of the class.
A student found aiding another in the activities is also subject to sanction. Students charged with a
violation of academic integrity are subject to progressive disciplinary action.
Academic Conduct Review Process

Whereas Students are responsible for their academic conduct, the Faculty members are responsible for
monitoring academic work to ensure academic integrity. Faculty members will report all incidents of
academic dishonesty in writing to the University on a Report of Academic Misconduct Form. The
University will document the offense in the student’s academic record and notify the student in writing.
Disciplinary actions for academic misconduct are progressive. The faculty member will assign the student
an F for the assignment or entire course within the usual seven-day grade reporting time.
Neither ignorance of University policy nor unintentional acts of misconduct are accepted as an excuse for
academic dishonesty. Student have the opportunity to accept sanctions or file an appeal through the
Academic Conduct Appeals Process. Upon receiving notification of an Academic Code of Conduct
violation, the student is expected to respond, in writing, within 10 days. If the student fails to respond, the
University will assume that the student has accepted the dishonesty charge.
Academic Conduct Appeals Process
Upon receiving notification of the Academic Code of Conduct violation, a student who chooses to dispute
the charge must respond in writing to the University President within 10 days. This response along with
the information provided by the faculty member will be reviewed by the University President. The
President shall determine if a violation has occurred and shall report the findings to the Registrar who will
notify the students in writing. Students found not to be in violation of the standards of academic honesty
will be graded in accordance with the standards set forth in the course syllabus. If academic misconduct
is found to have occurred, the student is subject to progressive disciplinary sanctions up to, and including,
dismissal.
Progressive Disciplinary Sanctions

The University President is responsible for administering the academic disciplinary process and
sanctions. Students found in violation of the academic integrity standards are subject to the following
progressive disciplinary sanctions:
First time Offense:

Sanction: Academic Warning
Discipline: Penalty may range from an F on the assignment up to an F for the course. Warning noted in
student’s academic record.
Second time Offense:

Sanction: Academic Suspension or Dismissal
Discipline: Student receives an F for the course and may be placed on Academic Suspension or
Dismissal.
Third time Offense:

Sanction: Academic Dismissal
Discipline: F for course and Academic Dismissal.
Decisions of the University President’s ruling are final and noted in the student record. No further appeals
will be considered by the University.
Attendance policy
Tardiness and excessive absences are unacceptable. Students are cautioned that non-attendance
interferes with the ability to complete the program. The programs follow a sequential pattern from basic to
more complex information.
The student is responsible for letting the school, and instructor, know about any absence as soon as
possible. Any school absence or tardy due to emergencies, religious or cultural holidays, or commute will
be reviewed and with due consideration taken. Attendance is taken by having the student sign an
attendance sheet. If student is tardy, the instructor is responsible for writing in the number of minutes
tardy, and any absences on the Student Attendance sheet. All missed time due to tardiness and
absences must be made up in the manner and time convenient to the school and the instructor. A student
who misses one week (7 calendar days) in a row will be withdrawn from the school.
Absentee/Tardiness Follow-Up
First absence, or two days of tardiness:
• Meeting between the student and instructor.
• Signed written warning placed in the student file.
• Make-up work required.
Second absence, or three days of tardiness:
• Meeting with the student and instructor.
• Signed written warning placed in the student file, which includes the issue, resolution and
consequences, which can lead up to, or include withdrawal from the program.
Third absence, or four days of tardiness:

• Student to attend faculty meeting and provide details regarding the reasons for the
absences/tardiness.
• A 5% grade penalty is assigned and one more absence or tardiness results in withdrawal
from the program.
Accurate attendance records are maintained by the office of the registrar. Attendance records are
maintained for at least five years after the last day of attendance.
Leave of Absence Policy

Requests for leave of absence may be granted for emergency reasons only. The student must submit a
written request to the University President for approval. Supporting documentation may be required. A
student may be granted a leave of absence not to exceed a total of 180 calendar days in a 12-month
period. Taking an LOA will require make-up work which may postpone graduation. If a student does not
return at the expiration of a leave, the University withdrawal policy will apply.
Withdrawal
If a student chooses to withdraw from school, they need to provide written notice. If a student does not
attend class and is not on an approved Leave of Absence, and fails to notify the school for a period of one
week (7 calendar days), the student will be deemed withdrawn as of the last date of attendance. The
student will be eligible for reinstatement and receive credit for classes successfully attended and monies
previously paid, for a period not to exceed 15 months.
Appeal / Reinstatement Policy

Students may appeal any decision regarding their academic progress, probation, suspension, or
withdrawal. All appeals must be submitted in writing to the appropriate dean within two (2) weeks of the
action causing the appeal. The letter of appeal should include any reasons or extraordinary
circumstances as to why the decision should be reversed, with supporting documentation, as applicable.
The appeal will be reviewed by the School Dean and the student will be notified of a decision within in
writing within 10 days.
Overall non-academic student conduct

Hayward University is committed to creating and maintaining a positive environment that supports all
members of the University community including students, faculty, and administrative staff. All constituents
are obliged to conduct themselves with integrity and respect in all University interactions. Violations of the
Student Code of Conduct, considered non-academic in nature, are subject to investigation and possible
sanctions through the Student Conduct Review process.
Student Conduct Review

Alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct should be forwarded, in writing, to the University
President. Reported misconduct may result in actions ranging from verbal reprimands to disciplinary
measures up to, and including, dismissal from the University. Students have the option to accept the
imposed sanction or dispute the allegation through the Student Conduct Review process.
Depending on the severity of the charges, a prompt investigation will be initiated. The student will be
notified in writing via certified letter and given 10 days to submit a written response to the University
President. If warranted, a student may be removed from the course or restricted from further registrations
while the investigation in under way, until a final determination is made.
Upon receipt of the student’s response, the University President shall review the findings and make
recommendations regarding sanctions. Student failure to respond to the allegations will not stall the
review process and will be considered an additional violation of the Student Code of Conduct. The
decisions of the President will be communicated to the student in writing. If a violation is found, the
disciplinary sanctions will be based on the seriousness of the situation
Student grievances
The University has a responsibility to protect the rights of students and ensure compliance with its non-
discrimination policy by providing an appeal process for those who wish to file grievances against the
University including claims of discrimination. Any student or member of the public may file a complaint
about this institution with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education by calling 888.370.7589 or by
completing a complaint form, which can be obtained on the bureau’s Internet Web site www.bppe.ca.gov.
Academic Student Grievance (Non-Grade Related)

When a concern occurs, the student is asked to discuss the concern directly with his/her instructor. If a
resolution does not occur, the student is to fill out a "Concern Form” and make an appointment to meet
with the Dean of their school. The formal written concern must state: The issue, desired outcome, and
should include any documentation to support the concern. If a resolution does not occur, the student's
request will be sent out to the President of the University. The President will review the written statement
and any supporting documentation, all presented information, gather facts and provide a written response
to the student within ten (10) working days. The University Presidents decision is final.
Academic Student Grievance (Grade Related)

Prior to submitting a grade appeal, students must attempt to contact the faculty member involved. The
faculty member is obliged to review grade calculations for accuracy and respond to student inquiries in
writing within ten days of the request with a summary of the grade calculation. Every reasonable attempt
should be made by both parties to resolve the issue at this level. The instructor’s decision is final. If the
instructor does not respond to the student within ten days, the student may contact the university to
initiate a formal appeal. All grade appeals must be initiated within six weeks of the course end date.
Grade disputes that are based on alleged discrimination (as defined in this Catalog under the heading
Non-discrimination Policy and Harassment Policy) are reviewed as non-grade related grievances.

SCHOOL OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE
The School Of Behavioral Science offers comprehensive
interdisciplinary programs designed to provide the student with fresh
knowledge and understanding of human behavior as viewed from a
psychological, sociological, and educational vantage point.
Programs are based on the philosophy that human behavior is an

open system, constantly evolving in its dynamics and multi-
dimensionality as a response to ecological, socio-cultural and
philosophical, as well as scientific changes. As such, human behavior
is deservingly worthy of a global approach to study.
Inherent in the program, is the objective of providing the students with

those educational and research activities, which are conducive to the enhancement of self-growth as,
related to better understanding of human factors prevailing in our present world. Human Behavior
programs can be viewed as a catalyst through which a person can learn to be a better human being in
terms of becoming more aware of, and sensitive to his fellow man, society and culture, with due respect
for a humanistic world view.
At the Bachelor’s level, the program addresses the basics in man’s attempts at knowing himself as a
biological masterpiece affected by socio-cultural, philosophical, psychological, and educational factors as
he dynamically passes through different developmental stages. The students enrolled in this program
become familiar with the theoretical and empirical development in psycho-social fields with due attention
paid to the philosophical and existential aspects of man’s life around the world. In addition, the program
also prepares the students for further academic exploration and achievement at advanced levels.
The graduate program in Human Behavior addresses man’s understanding of mankind. These programs
are designed to be futuristic in orientation while rooted in history. Irrelevant of geographical boundaries,
the goals and aspirations of these programs are based on these assumptions: that man is a dynamic bio-
social being, constantly subjected to the man-made, as well as natural, evolutionary process; that man is
potentially capable of understanding himself, others and his environment with the aid of an
interdisciplinary and comprehensive body of knowledge; that man, equipped with such knowledge, can be
instrumental in bringing about positive changes, not only in his environs, but also in himself and his fellow
man; that man’s self-actualization and transcendence are attainable through his benevolent creativity and
his practice of life-affirming value systems which are respectful towards man’s existence with no
reference to color, race, nationality and cultural heritage.
The analytic review of knowledge, based upon the above assumptions, thus far accumulated, constitutes
the core subject matter of these programs. The actualization of philosophical aspirations and the
attainment of objectives of the School of Behavioral Science become evident in the action-oriented
programs, which are geared toward the following goals:
• to aid the student in growing along with the growth in the field of human knowledge necessary for
playing his role in facilitating positive changes in his socio-cultural environment;
• to assist the student in gaining a better insight into his own potential and thus develop such
potential toward a more self-actualizing level;
• to aid the student in developing an interest and research capability into a unique exploratory
project worthy of publication in scientific journals.
