View the Alcohol and Drug Prevention Policy in full for more information. 

SAE Institute forbids the use, possession, distribution, or sale of drugs or alcohol by students, faculty, or staff anywhere within the school facilities or on campus grounds.  Anyone in violation of state, federal, or other local regulations with respect to illegal drugs or alcohol may be subject to both school disciplinary action and criminal prosecution.

Schools are required to maintain an Emergency Response and Evacuation Plan (EREP), which includes plans and instructions to be followed by campus administration, faculty, staff, students, and guests in the event of emergencies and evacuations. Each room on campus has an evacuation plan for emergencies which all students and employees are asked to follow.

As a condition of enrollment, SAE Institute (the “School”) requires each student to sign an enrollment agreement containing a binding arbitration provision. The full arbitration provision can be found in the campus catalog. Under the arbitration provision, each student and the School agree to resolve through binding and mandatory arbitration any dispute between the student and the School or any current or former employee(s) of the School. Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to an impartial person (an arbitrator) for a final and binding determination of the dispute. In agreeing to binding and mandatory arbitration, the parties voluntarily give up certain rights, including the right to pursue a dispute in court, the right to a trial by a judge or jury, rights to appeal, and other rights that may be available in a court, such as broader discovery rights. As provided by the arbitration provision, the parties also give up the right to bring or participate in any class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or any other type of action or proceeding in which anyone acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity on behalf of others. If you have any questions about this arbitration provision or the arbitration process, please contact the Campus Director. The School cannot require the student to participate in arbitration or any internal dispute resolution process offered by the School prior to filing a borrower defense to repayment application with the U.S. Department of Education pursuant to 34 C.F.R. § 685.206(e); the School cannot, in any way, require the student to limit, relinquish, or waive his or her ability to pursue filing a borrower defense claim, pursuant to § 685.206(e) at any time; and any arbitration required by this pre-dispute arbitration agreement tolls the limitations period for filing a borrower defense to repayment application pursuant to § 685.206(e)(6)(ii).

Students should contact the Financial Aid Administrator at the institution who is always ready to assist with any questions or concerns regarding Federal Student Aid Loans.

If a situation exists that the Financial Aid Administrator cannot resolve, students can contact the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Ombudsman for student loan issues.  The ombudsman resolves disputes from a neutral and independent viewpoint.  The Office of Student Financial Assistance Ombudsman will informally research a borrower issue and suggest solutions to resolve it.  Student borrowers can contact the Office of the Ombudsman at:

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) central database for student aid. NSLDS receives data from schools, guaranty agencies, the Direct Loan program, and other Department of ED programs. NSLDS Student Access provides a centralized, integrated view of Title IV loans and grants so that recipients of Title IV Aid can access and inquire about their Title IV loans and/or grant data.

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a division of the U.S. Department of Education, is the primary federal entity responsible for collecting and analyzing data related to postsecondary education in the United States.  Each year, NCES collects a broad range of information from post-secondary institutions through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.  Much of this information is then sorted, organized, and presented to the public on the College Navigator website, which is managed by NCES.
