Enrollment Requirements

STUDENT ENTRANCE REQUIREMENT In order to be admitted as a student at Security University, a student must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). TCP/IP is the language a computer uses to access the Internet. It consists of a suite of protocols designed to establish a network of networks to provide a host with access to the Internet. TCP/IP defines the details of how data is sent and received through network adapters, hubs, switches, routers and other network communications hardware.

Sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP is essential and fundamental for a prospective student to understand and address the coursework at Security University.

An applicant to Security University can demonstrate sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP in a variety of ways. Most students provide evidence of work experience where the prospective student has been exposed to and/or utilized TCP/IP in his or her employment. While 2 months of experience on your resume helps, there is no exact amount of time period of employment with TCP/IP required, the length of employment and the nature of employment are the two primary factors that will be considered (along with any other relevant factors) when determining whether or not sufficient work experience will qualify a student as having sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP. Prospective students may submit other evidence of sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP, including, but not limited to, personal experiences, other coursework and or other circumstances where the prospective student can submit evidence of sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP for consideration for entry into Security University. The President of Security University and/or any board designated by the President shall determine whether or not a student has sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP in order to be admitted into Security University. The primary consideration in such review is whether or not a student has the necessary foundation to succeed in the coursework offered at Security University and prospective students must provide accurate and complete evidence of TCP/IP for such review. All decisions made by the President or any board designated by the President are final.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is required for all enrolled Students. All students are provided access to the SAP policy during enrollment. SAP periods are based on student’s original certificate program class registration agreement and subsequent class registrations. Students meeting the minimum requirement attendance (95%) of each class are considered to be making SAP of their qualified cyber certificate program of mastery program.

Standards of Progress Policy: SU provides non-college degree (NCD) programs and vocational objectives based on hours, not credits. SAP students agreements include the following:

  1. Each course registration is a student agreement to attend the course. A syllabus is distributed to students at class registration which contains information on how students meet course completion. Each Course is 72 hrs instructor contact hours in length. Any student arriving to class greater than 3 hours will be considered absent.
  2. Student progress is measured daily for progress evaluation. Student attendance and progress reviewed by the faculty and the president daily. Students are expected to attend 95% of the 72 hours of class in order to meet the attendance requirement, unless a student is approved for extenuating circumstance or makes up class time. Students are expected to sign in and out of class daily and participate in quizzes & labs and practicums.
  3. At the end of every 72-hour class, the president and faculty review attendance and academic data to determine who have completed class and award participation agreements.

SU demonstrates a student’s progress (SOP) in learning the materials and how well they complete the class assignments and labs for the Exemplary (100-85%), Proficient (84-70%) or Failing (69% and below) grades by participation in assignments and the successful completion of course labs, quizzes and taking a required cyber exams. Students earn a participation certificate documenting their class participation completion and a transcript of their continued pursuit of their cybersecurity qualified cybersecurity certificate program of mastery and vocational objective. Based on the evidence presented, student sign in sheets, student SOP, and student exam success it is reasonable way to determine students in the program generally develop and demonstrate the quantitative cybersecurity skills needed as graduates of the vocational cybersecurity program.

GRADING PROCEDURE

Grading Policy/Standards of Progress/Practical - The purpose of SU’s Proficiency Based Grading is to set forth best practice principles for creating a scoring and reporting system that fairly and accurately reflects student learning. SU measures and accurately reflects student proficiency using a grading system of Exemplary (100-85%), Proficient (84-70%) or failing (69% and below). Students pass or fail the class based on attendance and standard of progress grades on quizzes to support the learning process and encourage student success, and ensures accuracy, consistency and fairness in scoring for each student. Exams (100-70% passing grade) are not include to determine a final pass/fail grade. The goal of a practical assessment is to measure competency. Ample practice and feedback will be given generously as students are on site in labs. Students will be periodically evaluated based upon performance and attendance. In case of a failure, the student can update or retake the assessment. The first passing grade will be recorded. The enrichments practical’s are evaluated on a Pass or Not Passed basis. Passing a course a student must have at least 4 Proficient or Exemplary grades during the 72 hr course in order to be deemed as passing and receiving SU’s participation certificate.
