MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Student,

The Professional Golfers Career College has been educating the future leaders in the world of

golf since 1990. PGCC is a recognized leader throughout the world in golf education. Our

graduates are located throughout the world and work as golf professionals, tournament directors,

golf instructors, general managers of country clubs, sales representatives of golf club companies

and playing professionals.

We are proud of our graduates and our college. But, PGCC is not for everyone. It is a college

for serious minded and focused students who want to succeed in the golf world. PGCC is a

college where traditional values of character and honesty and doing the right things are taught.

Students are expected to be ahead of time for classes, not miss any classes, and act with

politeness toward all faculty and fellow students.

Unprofessionalism will not be tolerated at the college or on the golf course or anywhere in the

community. Every student must represent PGCC in a professional manner.

If you are thinking about enrolling at PGCC please read and understand all parts of this

handbook. We want our students to have a good experience, but this college is definitively not

for everyone.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tim Somerville

President

Welcome!

Over the next 16 months, you will embark on a journey of learning that will lead you into the

highly competitive golf industry. Your education here at The Professional Golfers Career

College has been designed to provide you the best possible learning environment, coupled with

great golf and work opportunities. The goal? Successful placement in a position within the golf

industry that you can excel in and love at the same time.

The possibilities at PGCC are endless and largely up to you! You will have the opportunity to

play golf at some of the best courses in the country while training and working under top-notch

professionals. While here, let me also encourage you to enjoy the cultural, social and

recreational activities that are prevalent here in the beautiful Temecula Valley. The Temecula

Valley is known for its great weather, numerous golf courses and resorts, Old Town Temecula

and cultural diversity. I encourage you to make the most out of this experience by getting

involved. Remember, the more you know, the more you grow!

In order to maximize this experience, The Professional Golfers Career College has set forth

rules that are expected to be followed. These rules have been outlined for your benefit, and we

reserve the right to alter or add to them as we see the need. While there may seem to be a lot of

them, our intent is to provide a fulfilling and a safe learning experience for all students that is

centered around good communication. Therefore, if you have any questions about this document

or anything related to your experience here at PGCC, please don’t hesitate to ask me or any of

the PGCC staff and we’ll be glad to help any way we can.

It is my hope that this journey will be packed full of beneficial learning experiences and marked

with excellence. I also hope you have fun as well! The Professional Golfers Career College

staff is here because of your passion for the game of golf and we are happy you chose the

Temecula campus to begin your golf journey!!

Dr. Tim Somerville

President

ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance is essential for academic progress and success in your golf career. Absences

may jeopardize a student’s ability to complete their program in a timely manner. All students are

encouraged to complete the specified hours for the program by the end of each week. If a student

is unable to attend or leaves campus early on a given day(s), they should contact their instructor

or their class coach. Students are encouraged to make up missed attendance. The instructor will

assist in creating a makeup plan. Attendance is checked on a daily basis.

PGCC encourages 100% attendance and requires 80% attendance for graduation. Any student

who has an unexcused absence of fourteen (14) consecutive days will be automatically

withdrawn. Instructors turn in absence sheets the first 15 minutes of each class. This data is kept

on the computers in the Administration Offices and are tracked on a weekly basis and attendance

reports are generated.

Students are expected to call the campus if they are unable to attend classes for the day. At any

time during the program a student will be placed on warning status and can result in probation

status for violation of attendance.

Attendance violation is including but not limited to:

• Over 20% absenteeism

• Leaving the campus early without letting their class coach know.

If a student is in violation of Attendance, they will be placed on warning status. Failure to

successfully return to good standing from warning will lead to probation. Failure to successfully

return to good standing following probation will lead to program termination.

TARDY POLICY. Being late for class equals an absence. Low attendance can result in warning

or probation status or termination from the program as stated above.

EARLY DEPARTURE POLICY.

Any student missing 20% or more of the scheduled class time will be marked absent.

APPEARANCE

PGCC is a business college and business attire (appropriate golf attire) will be worn while

attending classes, on the golf course or at the driving range. Slacks, golf shirts, sweaters, and

wind breakers, customarily recognized as golf attire, will be permitted. If sweaters are worn,

they must be accompanied by a collared shirt or turtleneck underneath. No shirts worn outside

of pants (untucked). Blue jeans, cargo pants, sweats, hoodies, warm-ups, and t-shirts are not

permitted. No “Loud Mouth” pants are allowed. Belts must be worn. Women’s shorts must not

exceed 4" above the knee and not be tight, mini-skirts are not allowed. All attire must be clean

and pressed. The PGCC Faculty will be the sole judge of appropriate attire.

Every Friday is “dress for success” day. All students are required to purchase a PGCC blazer

and tie to be worn to class on Fridays.

As part of the college’s dress code appropriate footwear is a factor. The school allows dress

shoes, along with golf teaching shoes. The college does allow golf specific shoes that are spike-

less, and professional looking. Any other type of shoe is not permitted unless approved by

Campus Director please consult with him for any questions or guidance.

Hair must be neatly styled. Bleached hair, spiked hair styles or any other extreme hair styles are

not acceptable and male students must wear their hair less than collar length. Neatly trimmed

moustaches are permitted (trimmed at the corner of the mouth). Beards and goatees are not

permitted, and students are expected to be clean-shaven daily. Men are not permitted to wear

earrings. Facial piercings or tongue rings are not allowed. Students can be sent home and marked

absent for not shaving and can also lose golf privileges.

There will be no hats allowed in the classrooms or administrative building at any time.

A student on campus for any reason must be dressed as a golf professional and well groomed.

Self-confidence comes in part from knowing one looks like a professional; the college will help;

make it a habit every day.

Suspension of play, practice and lessons will be given to a student not obeying these guidelines.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

The consumption of alcoholic beverages is not permitted at the college or at the golf courses. No

alcoholic beverages will be served by PGCC at any College sponsored activity.

ATTITUDE

A cheerful, cooperative and positive attitude is expected of all students. Complaints of any

improper behavior towards any member of the staff or student body are to be directed to the

Administration.

CAREER PLACEMENT

PGCC does not guarantee placement for a job for any student. We work with and try to help

each student in placement. It is the student’s responsibility to work hard and follow the

Placement Director’s suggestions in finding employment. Students need to prepare their resume,

confer with the Placement Director and follow up on leads provided by the college.

PGCC does not guarantee placement.

CHEATING

Cheating will not be tolerated. Instructors and faculty will provide students extra help whenever

needed. IMMEDIATE suspension or termination from the college will result if a student is

discovered cheating.

COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

Students who have a complaint or are experiencing problems are encouraged to contact

administrative personnel or a faculty member directly to attempt to resolve the complaint. In the

event this contact does not resolve the complaint, the student is encouraged to make an

appointment with the College President so that the complaint may be officially registered, and

solutions discussed. In the event a student submits their complaint in writing to the College

President, a written response will be forwarded to the student within ten days. Decisions of the

College President are final.

CONDUCT – Any Un-Professional Behavior by a Student…

Knowledgeable violation of college rules and regulations or rules of golf may constitute grounds

for disciplinary action. Specifically, but not limited to, the following acts will not be tolerated:

Vandalism

Use of loud, obscene, or crude language

Use controlled substances, including marijuana

Any disturbance in the classroom by a student

Smoking of any substance, or using tobacco product, is not permitted at or around the

college including e-cigarettes and vaping

Food or beverage in the classroom

Unprofessional attitude on the golf course

Underage drinking.

Drunkenness

Any disturbing act or issue that may bring a bad light on the reputation of PGCC. This

could occur anywhere (example: Apartments, off-campus, etc.).

Any student receiving a DUI while in attendance at PGCC will be terminated from the

College and must sit out that semester and the following semester and then apply for

reinstatement.

Use of the internet that may reflect poorly on you as a student or PGCC.

No cell phones are permitted in the building or laptops used in the classroom except for a

presentation to the class.

Disciplinary action may result in suspension or termination from the college for any

unprofessional conduct while a student at PGCC, whether on campus or off campus.

ILLEGAL AND UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES

The following activities are prohibited and are grounds for immediate suspension and/or

termination from the College:

Possession of illegal drugs, chemicals, narcotics, controlled substances, alcohol, stolen

property or firearms on college property or while on college business at any location;

Use of alcohol on college property or while on college business at any location.

Attending any college function while under the influence of alcohol, intoxicants or illegal

drugs.

Distribution or sale of illegal drugs, chemicals, narcotics, controlled substances, alcohol,

stolen property or firearms on college property while on college business at any location.

"College property” shall include but is not limited to all premises operated and utilized by the

College, including golf courses.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program

To prevent drug and alcohol abuse, PGCC prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution

of drugs and alcohol including but not limited to recreational drugs and any form of marijuana by

students and employees on school property, or as part of the school's activities. The legal

sanctions for the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol include

criminal prosecution, the payment of court fines or incarceration.

Serious health risks are associated with the illicit use of drugs and alcohol, including the risks of

dependency, injury and death. Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs one's ability to drive

a car or operate machinery and may cause health problems. According to the U.S. Surgeon

General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risks of

birth defects. In addition, the school will impose sanctions on students (consistent with local,

state and federal law), up to and including expulsion from school or mandatory participation in a

substance abuse program, and referral for prosecution, for violation of this policy.

Students may seek drug counseling from the professional staff at the Hill Solutions Counseling

Center. Student contact with the Counseling Center is confidential. Students may contact the

Counseling Center at Hill Alcohol and Drug Treatment by phoning 951-303-1230.

DRUG SCREENING

All students may be tested for drug use. Failing the test will result in immediate counseling from

a drug counselor. A student may be asked by the Administration to enter a drug awareness

program. Golf privileges will be immediately suspended for a first offense until a student passes

his or her drug retest. The student will be tested a second time throughout his/her attendance at

PGCC. A second positive test will result in immediate termination.

STUDENT CONFERENCES

Each student will have a private conference with a director/class coach each semester. The

purpose of these is to discuss performance, goals and career choices. Students are encouraged to

seek the director’s/class coaches and staff assistance on personal or college matters whenever the

need arises.

TEXTBOOKS

Books that are required for each class are mandatory. Students who attend class without the

required textbooks will receive a warning and risk being dropped from the class if they continue

to attend class without their textbook. Build a professional library by keeping all of your books.

Your books will benefit you in your golf career.

times.

Privacy Rights of Students in Educational Records

The Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S.C. 1232g) and

regulations adopted there under (34 C.F.R. 99) set out requirements designed to protect the

privacy of students concerning their records maintained on campus. Specifically, the statute and

regulations govern access to student records maintained by the campus and the release of such

records. In brief, the law provides that the campus must provide students access to records

directly related to the student and an opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records on the

grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading or otherwise inappropriate. The student may request

a paper copy of his/her student academic file by filing out a request form and submitting it to the

Admissions Office. The right to file a grievance under the law does not include any right to

challenge the appropriateness of a grade determined by an instructor.

The types of student records and the information contained in the student files are:

Application and backup documentation, submitted transcripts, health records, housing

records, signed file completion forms, PGCC transcripts and conference records,

disciplinary records, veteran’s records, financial aid records, immigration records, and

placement information.

Students who wish to view the contents of their student records must make a written

request to the Executive Administrator. The Executive Administrator will meet with the

student during normal business hours, at a time set by the Executive Administrator, and

in the Executive Administrator’s office. The original records may not leave the Executive

Administrator’s office. The Executive Administrator must comply with the student's

request within fifteen working days.

The campus is authorized under the Act to release "directory information" concerning students.

Currently, in response to a specific inquiry, the Administration Office releases the following:

name, address and telephone number, place and date of birth, field of study, dates of attendance,

and degrees and awards received. The above-designated information is subject to release by the

campus at any time unless the campus has received prior objection from the student specifying

information that the student requests not be released.

Refusal to Provide Copies

While the student retains the right to inspect his or her records, Professional Golfers Career

College may deny copies of records, including transcripts, in the following situation:

The student has an unpaid financial obligation to the College.

Fees for Copies of Records

With the exception of academic transcripts, which are covered by executive order, the fee for

copies will be 25 cents ($.25) per page.

Disclosure of Education Records

The campus is authorized to provide access to student records to campus officials and employees

who have legitimate educational interest in such access. These persons are those who have

responsibilities in connection with the campus’ academic, administrative or service functions and

who have reason for using student records connected with their campus or other related academic

responsibilities. Disclosure may also be made to other persons or organizations under such

conditions as part of accreditation or program evaluation; in response to court order or subpoena;

in connection with financial aid; to other institutions to which the student is transferring.

PGCC will not permit third party access to information contained in a student's education records

without the written consent of the student, except under the circumstances described below.

PGCC may permit access by third parties under the following conditions:

To school officials who have a legitimate educational interest in the records.

To officials of another school, upon request, in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

To certain officials of the U.S. Department of Education, the Comptroller General, and

State and local educational authorities, in connection with audit or evaluation of certain

State or federally supported education programs.

In connection with a student's request for or receipt of financial aid to determine the

eligibility, amount, or conditions of the financial aid, or to enforce the terms and

conditions of the aid.

To organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the College.

To accrediting organizations to carry out their functions.

To comply with a federal or state judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena.

To appropriate parties in a health or safety emergency.

10.

The results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the College against an alleged

perpetrator of a crime of violence to the alleged victim of that crime.

11.

To U.S. Military recruiters pursuant to 32 CFR 216 (Solomon Amendment).

FILING A GREIVANCE

A grievance is a complaint arising out of any alleged unauthorized or unjustified act or decision

by a member of the faculty, member of the administration, or member of the staff which in any

way adversely affects the status, rights, or privileges of a member of the student body. The

burden of proof shall rest with the complainant.

The procedures for challenging the content of student records are for the student to file a

grievance by submitting a formal written statement to the President of the College. A meeting

will be held with the disagreeing parties and the President. Upon reviewing the facts presented

by the student, faculty or staff, the President will render a decision. All decisions made by the

President are final.

SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICY

The Professional Golfers Career College has a policy prohibiting any act involving sexual assault

or harassment by any of its employees, students, staff, faculty, or anyone conducting business on

College premises, which includes the college building, and any location used for an off-site

school function.

Sexual Assault includes but is not limited to rape, forced sodomy, forced oral copulation, rape by

a foreign object, sexual battery or threat of sexual assault.

If a student believes he/she is a victim of sexual assault he/she should report the assault

immediately to the nearest faculty or staff member, who will notify the school president and the

police.

Any observer of a sexual assault crime should notify the school president immediately rather

than take the initiative to contact the police. It is critical that the rights of the victim are protected

so that they are the one to call authorities and report the facts of the crime accurately.

The police will arrive to review the crime, take a description of the attacker, etc. and ensure that

the victim and his/her escort are transported to a medical facility.

The student, as the victim, will be referred to specific counseling centers in your area. Below are

some counseling centers in the Temecula area:

Bethesda Counseling Service

Linda Hardin

41661 Enterprise Circle North, Suite 115

Temecula, CA 92591

(909)695-6897

Hill Alcohol and Drug Treatment

44099 Margarita Rd

Temecula, CA 92592

909-303-1230

Confidentiality is required in order to protect all parties involved with the assault.

Any inquiries from newspapers, employees, parents, or other students will be immediately

forwarded to Dr. Tim Somerville, President, to avoid misrepresentation of the facts and breach of

confidentiality.

Efforts will be made by the school staff or faculty member to help the victim deal with academic

difficulties resulting from the crime. Should another student, faculty members, or staff member

be accused of the crime, appropriate disciplinary action will occur until a formal investigation is

completed. The victim will be informed of any further disciplinary action or appeal in connection

with the sexual assault.

Prevention is the best tool for elimination of sexual assault. All staff, faculty, and students will

take all steps necessary to prevent sexual assault from occurring such as expressing strong

disapproval, using self-defense techniques, and increasing awareness of what sexual assault

means.

Right to Cancellation

The Buyer/Student has the right to cancel the Enrollment Agreement, without any penalty or

obligation, until midnight of the seventh business day following the date of the first class of the

first semester. If the Buyer/Student cancels, any payment made on his/her behalf will be returned

to the payee within ten days following the Seller/School's receipt of the Buyer/student's written

and dated cancellation. If the Seller/School gave the Buyer/Student any equipment, the

Buyer/Student shall return the equipment within ten days of the date of the Buyer/Student signed

the cancellation notice. If the Buyer/Student does not return the equipment within this ten-day

period, the Seller/School may keep an amount out of what the Buyer/Student paid that equals the

documented costs of the equipment. The Seller/School is required to refund any amount over that

as provided above and the Buyer/Student may keep the equipment. To cancel the Enrollment

Agreement, the Buyer/Student must mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of the cancellation

notice, or send a telegram to the School at the address on the first page of this Agreement, NOT

LATER THAN MIDNIGHT of the seventh business day after the first class. REMEMBER, THE

BUYER/STUDENT MUST CANCEL IN WRITING. The Buyer/Student does not have the right

to cancel by merely telephoning the School or by not coming to class.

Once purchased, the equipment and materials specified on the Equipment Schedule become the

property of the Buyer/Student unless the materials are returned in usable condition (excluding

health or sanitary items) within ten (10) days following the date of the Buyer/Student's

withdrawal from the School. The Seller/School will refund only the amount that exceeds the

documented costs of those materials. Clearly recognized health and sanitary restrictions prevent

the School from accepting return of the equipment and/or materials so specified on the

Equipment Schedule

Costs of the medical or other examination, if required, are to be borne by the Buyer/Student.

School/Seller agrees charges collected from Buyer/Student which the Seller/School holds for the

purpose of paying to any other public or private person, firm, organization or agency, such as for

bond, license application, or examination fees, or any similar fees or charges, shall, where the

Buyer/Student cancels or withdraws from the course at any time prior to completion, be refunded

in full. Such charges are not subject to any refund if the Seller/School has paid them prior to

receipt of notice of withdrawal or cancellation, or if the Buyer/Student did not give written notice

to the School of withdrawal or cancellation, or if the Buyer/Student did not give written notice to

the School of withdrawal during the first 21 days of the unofficial withdrawal period.

The Buyer/Student may be terminated from enrollment, at the discretion of the School Director,

if the Student's/Buyer's behavior, attendance or dress does not conform to the requirements,

rules, and regulations of the School as set forth in this catalog and the Student Handbook.

The Buyer/Student release holds harmless and indemnifies the Seller/School and its agents from

and against all liabilities and other expenses which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or

asserted against it or them by any reason or bodily injury, or property damage or loss which the

Student/Buyer may suffer from any cause while enrolled in the School.

Right to Withdraw and Receive Refund

The Buyer/Student has the right to withdraw at any time from the course of instruction after

midnight of the seventh business day described above (see "Right to Cancellation"). If the

Buyer/Student withdraws or is terminated, or expelled, by the Seller/School, the Seller/school

shall remit a refund as provided in this section less a Registration fee not exceeding seventy-five

dollars ($75.00) within ten (10) days following withdrawal, termination or expulsion. The

Buyer/Student shall be deemed by the School to have withdrawn from the course of instruction

when any of the following occur: (1) the Buyer/Student notifies the School of withdrawal or of

the date of the Buyer/Student's withdrawal, whichever is later; (2) the School terminated the

Buyer/Student's enrollment as provided above; (3) the Buyer/Students fails to attend classes for

the (3) week period. For the purpose of the calculation of this part, the date of the

Buyer/Student's withdrawal shall be deemed to be the last day of recorded attendance.

Cancellation of Refund Amount

The refund shall be in the amount the Buyer/Student paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction,

the numerator of which is the elapsed time not attended, and the denominator of which is the

total number of hours (weeks as above) of instruction for which student has paid, up to the 60%

completion point of the semester.

TRANSFER CREDITS

The College will accept credits for work done at other postsecondary institutions. A "C" or

higher grade must be made for credit to be transferred and the course must have relevance to a

course offered at the Professional Golfers Career College. Students must submit an official

transcript and catalog to the Administrative Office in order for transfer credit to be considered.

Students may earn no more than 20% of the credit required for graduation using transfer credit.
