90/10% Rule and Credit Balances

Could someone explain these two aspects to me? I did not fully understand them 1. Does the 90/10% Rule mean that students must pay for 10% of their degree out of their own pocket? 2. How is a credit balance created? Why would a student agree to let the school create a credit balance? Wouldn't every student want a full refund of his or her money? Thank you!

Testing your employees

We as a school update our academic catalog twice a year. During those updates we are quizzing our faculty and staff to make sure they know and understand the updates. Whether it is just a new academic calendar or if it is a change in the externship requirements. We want our team to know everything about their department changes as possible. All new employees are required to take a catalog quiz using the most recent catalog and pass.
