Newport Business InstituteThe Newport Business Institute was founded in 1895 by Professor

Harry Sayre and was then known as Sayre Business College.

The name was later changed to New Kensington Commercial

School to more properly identify the school with the geographicarea it served. The name was registered in Westmoreland

County and in Harrisburg, the state capital. Since acquiring an

additional school in Williamsport, the names of the two schools

were combined to create our new name, Newport Business

Institute.

Subsequent administrators of the school were Miss Rosetta

Turner, Professor Dinninger, Mr. Harry Gould, Mrs. Bertha Kile,

Dr. Joseph J. Pallone, and Dr. Harry E. Ryan. In 1973 New

Kensington Commmercial School was purchased and formedinto the Mullen Corporation under the laws of Pennsylvania.

The school was administered by Robert J. Mullen. On January

2, 1990, J. Bryant Mullen and Michelle L. Mullen purchased the

Mullen Corporation and the Newport Business Institute. J. Bryant

Mullen, the president of Newport Business Institute, brought many

years of experience in education and business to the institution.

Neither subsidized nor endowed, the two-year business training

institution is entirely dependent for its continuance and success

upon the quality of its training as evidenced by the achievement

of its graduates.

Newport Business Institute is located at 945 Greensburg Road.

It moved to its present location in September 1975. It serves the

research and industrially oriented Allegheny-Kiski Valley, which

borders Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Standards of Satisfactory ProgressAll students must maintain the following Standards of Satisfactory Progress.

Students failing to meet these standards shall be suspended or dismissed

from school unless the school determines mitigating factors exist.

A normal class load is the number of hours a student would take to

obtain his/her diploma/degree/certicate in 100 percent of the usualtimeframe required for the diploma/degree/certicate program. Studentsatisfactory progress is measured in quarter credit hours.

The maximum timeframe in which a student is permitted to complete an

educational objective, degree, or certicate is 1.5 times the standardprogram length for normally progressing students of the same enrollment

status (e.g., full-time, part-time); or a period of time during which a student

attempts 1.5 times the number of credits to complete the program. For

the purposes of this standard, credit hours or clock hours attempted

shall mean any such hours for which a student has incurred a nancialobligation.

Satisfactory Progress TableMinimum Minimum Successful

Required Evaluation Point: GPA Completion Percent

Attempted of Courses

** 25% of maximum time frame 1.25 55%

* 50% of maximum time frame 1.5 60%

* 100% of maximum time frame 2.0

** End of First Academic Year 1.5 60%(or 50% of standard program

length if less than one

academic year)

* End of Second Academic Year 2.0 60%

(or GPA consistent with

graduation requirements)

** Each of Subsequent

Academic Year 2.0 60%

(or GPA consistent with

graduation requirements)

* Students not meeting standards are not eligible for nancial aid, may

not be placed on probation, but may be placed in an extended

enrollment status. A student will not be charged tuition and fees

while in extended enrollment for the rst time. Should a student be

placed in extended enrollment more than once, he/she will be

charged tuition and fees for each additional extended enrollment

period.

** Student not meeting standards will be placed on probation and will

remain eligible for Title IV Aid.

Students may be placed on academic probation for one term. During

the quarter of the students academic probation, the Dean may requirethe student to repeat some or all of the courses that the student previously

failed. Students placed on academic probation must have a grade

point average of at least 2.0 at the end of the probationary quarter, and

must complete a minimum of 60 percent of a normal class load during

the quarter to avoid suspension. If the student does not have a grade

point average of at least 2.0 at the end of the probationary quarter,

the student shall also be suspended from school for one quarter, unless

mitigating circumstances exist.


12/46

If a student demonstrates after retaking courses that he or she is

academically and motivationally prepared to continue in a program,

the student may be reinstated as a regular student. The Director must

approve reinstatement, and the reinstatement is based on evaluations

made by instructors who are familiar with the work of the student. If

reinstated as a regular student, the student will be placed on probation

until the next evaluation.

Grades earned as a regular student or during the continuation period as

a non-regular student may be substituted for the previous course failures

in the calculation of the students GPA and successful course completionrate for graduation purposes. However, in no case may the student

extend as a regular student beyond 1.5 times the normal program length

in order to complete the program.

An incomplete or I grad will be give to a student who does not

completely fulfill the requirements of a course. A grade may be

substituted for the I grade if the student successfully completes the

unnished course work within two weeks after the start of the followingterm. In a case where extreme extenuating circumstances exist, a

two-week extension may be approved at the discretion of the Director.

Medical, legal, or other documentation is required. Failure to complete

the work required for a course in the period required above will result

in the letter grade of F. A letter grade W will result when a student

withdraws from the course. Letter grades of I, W, or F are counted

as hours attempted, not successfully completed. When the I is replaced

with a letter grade, the GPA and satisfactory progress will be recalculated

based on the letter grade.

The director may grant a leave of absence and/or waive interim

satisfactory standards for circumstances of poor health, family crisis, orother signicant occurrences outside the control of the student. Thesecircumstances must be documented, and it must be demonstrated

by the student that these conditions had an adverse impact on the

students satisfactory progress in the academic program. No waiverswill be provided for graduation requirements.

Any student certied as not demonstrating satisfactory academic progresshas the opportunity to appeal the action. Appeals must be made in

writing to the director. Each appeal evaluation is an individual judgmentbased on that students record and personal circumstances. Successfulstudent appeals will result in an appropriate individual adjustment to

the satisfactory progress policy. If the appeal is approved, the studentwill continue in school. The student will have one quarter to correct all

academic deciencies. If the deciencies are not corrected, the studentshall be dismissed.

In addition to the above standards, students must complete requirements

necessary to obtain their degree/diploma/certicate within a maximumtimeframe of 1.5 times the standard program length. Students may

continue in extended enrollment status after they have been determined

not to have been making satisfactory academic progress and have been

informed of and agree in writing to the following:

(1) Students are not eligible for additional student aid in extended

enrollment status.(2) Students are responsible for all tuition and fees with the school

while in extended enrollment status.

(3) Students must seek to correct academic deciencies while inextended enrollment status.

At no time can a student exceed 1.5 times the standard timeframe either

as a regular student or extended enrollment status and receive the original

academic credential for which they enrolled. They may receive a

Certicate of Completion. At 100 percent of the maximum timeframe,students must have achieved a 2.0 GPA.

Readmission ProcedureStudents requesting readmission must submit an application to

requested readmission. If the student was dismissed due to

academic progress deciencies, the student must show the desire

The success or failure of business enterprises depends heavily onthe way managers do their jobs. Primarily, the job of the managerin business is to plan and direct the work of others. Since these

others are usually doing specialized work, it is required that

the manager has experience in, and a broad knowledge of,

the specic functions he or she is supervising. Some of the morecommon areas are accounting, advertising, sales, personnel,

production, purchasing, data processing, market research, and

public relations. The Business Administration Program is designed

to allow for acquiring a broad background in these areas.
