As required by local and federal laws, the UBIS maintains records relating to students for various academic purposes. Information as defined by UBIS (which includes name, dates of attendance, enrollment status, awards, honors, and degrees conferred) may not be released without the enrolled student’s written permission. UBIS will not disclose any information from a student’s educational record, except to personnel within the institution, without the written consent of the student. Students who need to discuss their academic status in regard to compliance with UBIS's academic requirements, or who want to discuss a grievance or any other concerns relating to academic issues can reach out to confidential@ubisglobal.com .

Terms of Use

By using this website, you agree to use it lawfully and not to interfere with its operation, misrepresent your relationship with UBIS, or submit information that is false or unauthorized. Website information is general and does not replace the UBIS Academic Catalog, a signed Enrollment Agreement, or written instructions from UBIS. Where those documents govern an academic or enrollment matter, they take precedence over website content. UBIS may update website content when information changes.

Academic Freedom

UBIS, as an institution of higher learning, upholds a policy of academic freedom. Instructors are free to explore whatever research topics are of interest to them, including controversial and unpopular ideas, as directed by their scholarship, research, and objectivity, without regard to the opinions of the staff, administrators, institutional benefactors, community leaders, politicians, or churchmen. The academic leadership at UBIS likewise asserts the view that academic freedom fosters creativity and excitement in the learning process, attracting excellent faculty from around the world who ardently want to teach, and serious students who want to learn. The academic leadership at UBIS reserves the right to set minimum standards for curricular content, the use of learning outcomes measurements, and course work performance requirements.

Grading Policy

Grading Procedure: UBIS’ grading system is based on the standard American 4.0 grading system. Course grades are issued for each course. Evaluation of student work is identified as grading criteria and weighted appropriately in the determination of a final course grade as in the American grading system.

Graduation Requirements

University diplomas and certificates are issued to students who have completed all program requirements, are in good academic and financial standing, and whose credential has been officially conferred. See catalog for program specific information.

Grievance Policy

Student Grievance Procedures UBIS carefully considers student grievances and adjusts when appropriate. Students submitting a grievance are not subject to unfair action or treatment because of their initiation of such a grievance. It is UBIS’s objective to maintain good communications and to assure that concerns of all members of UBIS community (students, staff, and faculty) are addressed fairly.

Students who are not satisfied with the outcomes of UBIS’s internal complaint process, can submit a complaint the Higher Education Licensure Commission 1050 First St. NE, Washington, DC 20002. (202) 727-6436 See catalog for grievance submission contact details

Withdrawal Policies

Withdrawal from UBIS Students shall have the option to withdraw from the school at any time by giving notice of their intent to terminate enrollment in writing by completing Student Status Change Request Form which can be obtained from Student Services or the Registrar’s Office. In the absence of the student giving written notification, UBIS reserves the right to dismiss or terminate any student at any time for unsatisfactory academic performance, violation of the Student Code of Conduct, unpaid fees, or other reasons at the discretion of the university administration, Dean, or Chair. In such cases, UBIS will notify the student in writing, a degree will not be awarded to the student, and, as appropriate, the participant’s sponsor, partner, or education specialist will be notified. Inquires to registrar@ubisglobal.com

Refund Policy

If a student withdraws during the Add/Drop period, applicable tuition and fees for the affected enrollment will be removed from the student account in accordance with the University's Cancellation Policy. After the Add/Drop period, tuition charges become billable. Any funds remitted to UBIS that exceed the total tuition and fees due for billable courses will be refunded to the student. Refunds are processed after all applicable charges have been calculated and any outstanding financial obligations to the University have been satisfied.

Academic Integrity & Ethics Policy

UBIS expects students to submit their own work and follow academic integrity standards. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, unauthorized assistance, and improper duplication of materials are violations and may lead to academic action. See the catalog for the full Academic Integrity & Ethics Policy, definitions, procedures, and consequences.

These policies are also published in the academic catalog, Volume 13. Full consumer disclosures are on the consumer information page. Where a policy statement and the catalog differ, the catalog governs.
