Digital Bookshelf and eBooks The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania is in the process of enhancing the learning experience by converting traditional textbooks to electronic media. Thus eventually most courses will have a digital resource fee associate d with them. This mandatory fee is a flat rate per course and allows students access which is integrated into the course. Students are responsible for r eading the Digital Bookshelf and eBook User’s Manual publication which describes the media, access to the materials and your rights and responsibilities related to Digital Bookshelf. Students retaking a course are charged only once for the digital resources fee associated with the same course because students have access to the digital resources materials for five years. Provided the digital text book(s) for these courses. On average the price of the digital resource fee is less than the retail price of the textbook(s) for each course, with the added benefits of no shipping charges and immediate access to the materials. When you register for a cour se, the course registration will display whether there is a digital resource fee or whether paper textbooks are required for each particular course. eCollege and VitalSource System and Hardware Specifications The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania uses eCollege and Vital Source to deliver its digital resources. As with any software, the faster the processor, the more RAM, and the larger hard drive space you provide, the better the performance. Users wanting to move their material to their hard drive may need additional space. It is also important that users understand the process and benefits of maintaining their machines in top operating condition by keeping them current with the latest operating system updates, correctly configuring virus control, and o ther beneficial habits. Preferred Requirements: Preferred Software Specifications: Mac OSX 10.5 or 10.6 OR Page of Windows 7 or Vista with Microsoft .Net 3.5 SP1 Latest version of Safari browser, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer Preferred Hardwar e Specifications: 2.0 GHz INTEL processor 1 GB of RAM Graphics card capable of 1024x768 resolution or larger Soundcard & speakers High speed internet access Minimum Requirements: Minimum Software Specifications: Apple Mac OSX 10.4 OR Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or higher with Microsoft .Net 3.5 SP1 Safari browser 3.0.4 or higher, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or higher, Internet Explorer 6 or higher Minimum Hardware Specifications: GHz processor 512 MB of RAM Graphics card capable of 1024x768 screen resolution Dial up internet access is the minimum standard, however, a higher speed is recommended Recommended Plug ins or Downloads: Course instructor may employ technology in the eCollege classroom that requires one of these recommended plug ins or d ownloads in order to function properly. If your instructor uses the ClassLive technology, Java will be required. If your instructor provides PDF files, Adobe Reader may be required to open and view those files. You can download these items at the time th at they are deemed necessary. Java If Mac MacOS Classic Java (MRJ 2.2.5) (http://developer.apple.com/java/index.html) If Window Sun's Java 2 SDK (Java 1.5 or Java 1.6) (http://www.java.com) Adobe Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/) Recommendation regarding “Netbooks” Students often see "Netbooks" (small laptop computers primarily designed for web browsing and emailing) as an affordable option when looking to purchase a computer for classwork. However, it is strongly recommend that students do not purchase a Netbook. Purchasing a low price laptop or desktop computer that meets the system requirements outlined above is a much better solution for classwork. While newer Netbooks may meet resolution and screen size requirements for reading your eBooks, much like some older laptops, some older Netbooks may not be able to graphically handle these sites. This means that reading e texts and participating in the classroom could become difficult. It may be challenging to scroll through your readings and effectively and efficiently work through the material.

This policy, however, is not intended to modify a student’s right, if any, to file a grievance with any state educational licensing agency. If a student decides to initiate arbitration, the student may select either, JAMS or the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”) to serve as the arbitration administrator pursuant to its rules of procedure. If The Art Instit ute of York Pennsylvania intends to initiate arbitration, it will notify the student in writing by regular mail at the student’s latest address on file with The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania, and the student will have 20 days from the date of th e letter to select one of these organizations as the administrator. If the student fails to select an administrator within that 20 day period, The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania will select one. The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania agrees that it will not elect to arbitrate any undividable claim of less than the relevant jurisdictional threshold that a student may bring in small claims court (or in a similar court of limited jurisdiction subject to expedited procedures). If that claim is tran sferred or appealed to a different court, however, or if a student’s claim exceeds than the relevant jurisdictional threshold The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania reserves the right to elect arbitration and, if it does so, each student agrees that the matter will be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Section. IF EITHER A STUDENT OR THE ART INSTITUTE OF YORK PENNSYLVANIA CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EX CEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES, OR OTHERWISE TO LITIGATE THE DISPUTE OR CLAIM IN ANY COURT (OTHER THAN IN SMALL CLAIMS OR SIMILAR COURT, AS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, OR IN AN ACTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD). F URTHER, A STUDENT WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT A STUDENT OR THE ART INSTITUTE OF YORK PENNSYLVANIA WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. The arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate claims on a class action basis, and claims brought by or against a student may not be joined or consolid ated with claims brought by or against any other person. Any arbitration hearing shall take place in the federal judicial district in which the student resides. Upon a student’s written request, The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania will pay the filin g fees charged by the arbitration administrator, up to a maximum of $3,500 per claim. Each party will bear the expense of its own attorneys, experts and witnesses, regardless of which party prevails, unless applicable law gives a right to recover any of those fees from the other party. If the arbitrator determines that any claim or defense is frivolous or wrongfully intended to oppress the other party, the arbitrator may award sanctions in the form of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party (including arbitration administration fees, arbitrators’ fees, and attorney, expert and witness fees), to the extent such fees and expenses could be imposed under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq., shall govern this arbitration provision.
