Student Right-To-Know

Under the Student-Right-To-Know Act, Aviva College is required to report annually on the completion (or graduation) rates for full-time first-time undergraduate students. Statistics address whether or not these students complete their program within 150% of the normal time. Since Aviva College is still a new school, these statistics are not yet available for it.

Right to Change

No changes to degree or certificate program policies, fees or requirements shall apply to already matriculated students without their express written consent. Each matriculated student will continue to operate under the program policies and requirements referred to in the most recent version of the Student Enrollment Agreement they have signed, which remains in effect until it is changed by mutual consent of the student and the College, or by its termination or expiration according to its own applicable provisions.

Students with Learning Disabilities

Aviva College makes every reasonable effort to accommodate students' academic needs. Students with learning disabilities previously documented by a licensed professional, should inform the Administrative Director at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Aviva College fully complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and as such will work with each student to provide needed accommodations to help each student achieve success at the highest level possible. We believe all people can learn and succeed in our courses and programs when provided with the necessary supports for their particular situation.

Students are not to contact instructor(s) to request accommodations until they have first worked with the AD to determine appropriate accommodations. Student instructors must receive this information from the AD before any changes can be made to the course structure as, or before the course begins. Requests for accommodations made after the course has begun, or after the program has commenced will be handled on a case by case basis after a review with the Student, the instructor and the Administrative Director.

Customarily, it is the responsibility of each student to disclose their disability and provide accurate and appropriate documentation before the course begins. Students who are in the process of being evaluated for a specific disability by an appropriate practitioner or agency will also be considered through this process and must adhere to the guidelines set forth by Aviva College. Aviva College has created this process so that all of our students will be supported to achieve the greatest amount of academic success given their particular learning style, academic strengths and unique needs. Appropriate forms of documentation:

Educational assessment with determination of disability from any Public School Individualized Education Plan (IEP) (can be from previous educational setting, even greater than ten years prior)

Educational assessment and determination of disability from any rehabilitative, state or hospital evaluation team, Educational assessment and determination of disability from any private educational Psychologist, Psychiatrist or qualified eligibility evaluation team, Letters from appropriate evaluators stating that the student is in the process of being evaluated for a disability.

These are not acceptable forms of documentation:

• Doctor’s notes that simply state the condition without appropriate documentation of evaluation of the identified disability.
• Medical or Psychological records without proper explanation.

Student Feedback and Representation

Students have the opportunity to submit a brief feedback survey at the end of each week of a given course. Weekly feedback allows improvements to be considered in a timely manner.

At the end of each course students have an opportunity to submit a Faculty and Course Evaluation survey. Faculty and Course Evaluations use a software system outside the online course system to allow anonymity.

We encourage and value student participation in program development and administration. A number of committees are open to students that allow for student input such as the Student Council, and the Admissions, Grievance, and Scholarship committees. A Student Suggestion Box is located in our Virtual Campus Lobby.
