Mission Statement
Heritage Genealogical College originally began as the educational branch of Know Your Heritage Organization, a non-profit organization founded in 1984 for the purpose of strengthening families through genealogical research and education. Heritage Genealogical College was founded in 2000 to provide genealogical education in order to give validity to the profession of genealogy. Heritage Genealogical College is currently a proprietary school in the State of Utah. Prior to this, genealogists have been self-taught with only limited educational opportunities.
-3-
Heritage Genealogical College’s curriculum has been developed to give students (upon successful completion of a degree in genealogical research) a professional level in genealogical research skills in a desired geographic area of research. A history minor has also been built in to the curriculum because the study of and understanding of history as it applies to the lives to those who lived in a particular time period is extremely important to the study of genealogical research. Even the general education requirements have been selected because of relevance to the genealogical research process. The entire curriculum has been selected to give students a choice of a variety of professional career opportunities. These career opportunities include:
Genetic/Medical Genealogical Research
Legal/Missing Heirs Genealogical Research
Tracing Ancestry/Professional Genealogist
Historian
Editor or Writer of Historical or Genealogical Publications
Teacher of Genealogical Research and/or History
Heritage Genealogical College has also been founded to bring high ethical research standards to the profession of genealogical research.

Discontinuance
To withdraw from Heritage Genealogical College, students who have registered for classes must officially discontinue. Please contact the Admissions Office to do this. Students who have registered for classes and paid tuition must officially discontinue to drop classes and initiate a tuition refund. Students who have registered for classes but have not paid tuition must also discontinue. If these students do not withdraw before the start of classes, they will be billed for tuition up to the official date of discontinuance. If discontinuing during or after the sixth week of the semester, obtain signatures of individual class instructors (student is now responsible for grades earned in class). The instructor will
indicate an official withdrawal (W) or an academically failing (WF) withdrawal grade. Students who leave the College under emergency conditions and subsequently do not return still have the responsibility to discontinue before the discontinuance deadline. Official termination can be completed by contacting the Admissions Office at the earliest possible time.
Placement Assistance will be offered by informing students of employment opportunities available at the time of graduation.
Refund Policy for Both Withdrawn and Dismissed Students:
Tuition Adjustment – Status Change Between Part-Time and Full-Time
After classes begin, a part-time student who increases the number of credit hours and remains a part-time student must pay tuition for these additional hours on the day they are added. If this is not done, a late fee may be assessed. A change to full-time status requires that additional tuition be paid, plus the late fee.
-9-
A full-time student dropping to part-time student who decreases credit hours may be entitled to a tuition refund. A refund request must be initiated by the student. A full refund of the difference between full-time assessment and part-time assessment will be allowed until the scheduled last day for adding classes. Refunds for courses dropped after that date will be subject to the refund rate schedule listed under tuition Charge/Refund – Discontinuance.
Late Tuition Payment Fee
Late tuition payment fees will be assessed full-time and part-time students for failure to pay tuition by scheduled deadlines. The late fee will also be assessed students who pay less than full-time tuition by the deadline but who are then or late become registered for full-time status. Fall semester deadline for paying full tuition is January 4, 2023 and Winter semester deadline is June 9, 2023. Spring/Summer semester deadline for paying full tuition is September 2023.
Semester

Students whose tuition check is dishonored by the bank will be charged the late fee in effect at the time the check is redeemed.
Tuition Charge/Refund – Discontinuance
When a student officially discontinues from the college, a partial refund of tuition and fees paid may be appropriate. Any refund due will be paid by check, through the mail, approximately 10 days from the date on which the student requests discontinuance. Any unpaid college charges will be deducted from the refund amount. If a student discontinues or drops in status form full-time to part-time and has received a loan, any institutional refund due the student, will be returned to the lending institution through which the student received the loan.
Refund Policy for Both Withdrawn and Dismissed Students:
A three-business-day cooling-off period, commencing with the day an enrollment agreement with the applicant is signed or an initial deposit or payment toward tuition and fees of the institution is made, until midnight of the third business day following such date or from the date that the student first visits the institution, whichever is later, during which time the contract may be rescinded and all monies paid refunded. Evidence of personal appearance at the institution or deposit of a written statement of withdrawal for delivery by mail or other means shall be deemed as meeting the terms of the cooling-off period. The cooling-off period may not end prior to midnight of the third business day after the latest of the following days: (i) the day the student signs an enrollment agreement; (ii) the day the student pays the institution an initial deposit or first payment toward tuition and fees; or (iii) the day that the student first visits the institution, if the program lasts more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
A student enrolled in a correspondence institution may withdraw from enrollment following the cooling-off period, prior to submission by the student of any lesson materials or prior to receipt of course materials, whichever comes first, and effective upon deposit of a written statement of withdrawal for delivery by mail or other means, and the institution shall he entitled to retain no more than $200 in tuition or fees as registration charges or an alternative amount that the institution can demonstrate to have been expended in preparation for that particular student’s enrollment.
-10-
Any student who withdraws after the three-business-day cooling-off period or after a student enrolled in internet courses has submitted lesson materials or been in receipt of course materials will have to pay tuition to cover expenses for any books, supplies, etc. or for any instructor who has graded his/her work. All tuition will be returned to the student who has paid and changed his mind during the three-day cooling-off period. If a student withdraws after the three-day cooling-off period, all monies not spent in paying instructors or for books or supplies, etc. will be returned.
A pay-as-you-learn payment schedule that limits a student’s prospective contractual obligation(s), at any one time, to the institution for tuition and fees to four months of training, plus registration or startup costs not to exceed $200 or an alternative amount the institution can demonstrate to have spent in undertaking a student’s instruction
NOTE: Late fees are not refundable. The amount of the refund a student will receive is based on the date a student reports such discontinuance to Heritage Genealogical College. The following rates apply to tuition.
Debt Collection Fees
Students’ past-due debts are referred to a collection agency if the debt cannot be collected within a reasonable time. In addition to paying the debt, the student debtor will be required to
pay the collection agency fees before obtaining a release of a financial hold on his or her transcript or before being considered for readmission. Also, eligibility for graduation may be delayed of denied.
Academic Standards
Dean’s List: Students who earn a 3.5 GPA or better for a least 12 graded credit hours for an academic semester are placed on the dean’s list.
Minimum GPA: All undergraduate students are required to maintain a cumulative GP of at least 2.0 – C average. Transfer students should be aware that the cumulative GPA is computed only on the basis of Heritage Genealogical College course work.
Probation/Registration Holds: A student who fails to maintain a cumulative GPA or at least 2.0 is placed on scholastic probation. Students whose most recent semester and cumulative GPA are below 2.0 have a hold placed on their future registration. The College will notify the student prior to the next registration period and will let the student know what he or she must do to clear it. If a student with a probationary GPA is permitted to register, conditions may be prescribed under which such registration is allowed.
Student Conduct: A student is to refrain from inappropriate behaviors such as: smoking in class, using profanity when speaking, or failing to maintain basic hygiene (cleanliness) when attending in-person classes. Any student who fails to conduct themselves appropriately will be warned twice before being dismissed from the classroom and dropped from that class. Re-entry is allowed once student has signed a student conduct agreement with the instructor.
Readmission of Probation Students: Probation students must initiate the readmission process at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester they plan to attend.
-11-
Suspension: A student whose semester GPA is below 2.0 for three semesters while the cumulative grade point average has been continuously below 2.0, is subject to suspension for two semesters. In extenuating circumstances, students may appeal the suspension to the Heritage Genealogical College Board. Students who wish to return to the College after their suspension period must petition to the Heritage Genealogical College Board no later than two months before the beginning of the semester they wish to attend.
Grading and Records
Grade point averages are computed by assigning numeric values to the letter grades:
Letter Grade Values
A 4.0 A- 3.7 B+ 3.4
B 3.0 B- 2.7 C+ 2.4
C 2.0 C- 1.7 D+ 1.4
D 1.0 D- 0.7 F 0.0
W, UW, I, IF, WF all received 0.0 grades.
The grade given in a course is the teacher’s evaluation of the student’s performance, achievement, and understanding in that subject as covered in the class. The following adjectives indicate the meaning of the letter grades:
A Excellent
B Good
C Satisfactory
D Minimum Passing
F Failure
If a student withdraws officially from a class during the first ten class days of a semester, the permanent record will not show a registration for that class. If the student properly withdraws from a class between the eleventh and twenty-fifth class days of a semester, the record will be marked W withdrawal.
A WF grade will be given if a student petitions to withdraw from a class after the deadline and he or she is failing the class at that time.
A UW grade indicates that a student unofficially withdrew or stopped attending a class and did not officially withdraw with the Registration Office. An instructor should give a UW when a student stops attending a class before the non-academic emergency deadline of a semester and does not take the final exam. In addition, if an instructor fails to assign a student a letter grade on the grade roll, the student will automatically receive the grade UW. The UW is calculated in the GPA as a failing grade.
The letter grade I (Incomplete) is given on a contractual basis with the instructors for students who are eligible to complete the work in a prescribed time period. An incomplete is only given when extenuating circumstances (serious illness, death in the immediate family, etc.) occur after the twelfth week of a semester. The Incomplete Grade Contract must accompany the grade roll. Or the grade will be changed to an F.
-12-
An Incomplete is never given when one is failing or has failed the course. The instructor should indicate a specific length of time in which the student must complete the incomplete, not to exceed one year. Class attendance in a subsequent semester or re-registration is not permitted to make up the incomplete. In some special instances, such as a lab class, attendance may be required for the portion of the class or lab section missed. Once the work has been completed, the instructor should complete the portion for the Incomplete Grade Contract, showing the grade earned and submit the form to the Records Office.
An Incomplete is computed in the grade point average as a failing grade until the course work has been completed and the official grade has been submitted by the instructor.
The grade IF indicates that the time period for completing the incomplete grade has expired. The IF grade is computed as a failing grade.
All classes except internships, apprenticeships, and those requiring outside research to complete are on-line. Students enrolled in the in-person classes are expected to attend at least 90% of those unless some other arrangement is made with the Instructor. With most of the information on-line for those enrolled in-person, there is flexibility with attendance. Your attendance and being tardy do not count as part of your grade. As a courtesy to instructors, students are expected to inform instructors that they will not be in attendance before class begins.
Records
The Records Office is the official guardian of all permanent records of all academic work done at the College. The office is also responsible for issuing official transcripts of credit. Official transcripts include only courses completed through Heritage Genealogical College.
Classification of Students
At the beginning of each semester, students are classified for that semester as follows:
Credit Hours Earned/Classification
1-30 Freshman
31-61 Sophomore
62-91 Junior
92 and over, Senior
Student Records Policy
Student educational records at Heritage Genealogical College are generally accessible to students who are admitted and enrolled. Students may petition to have any mistakes in records corrected or to explain any extenuating circumstances for failure, incomplete grades, etc. Students are encouraged to check their transcripts for accuracy.
Transcript Record Holds
A hold will be placed on a student’s record for failure to meet college obligations (fees outstanding, etc.). Until the obligation is fulfilled, no copy of the academic record or diploma or information about the record will be released, and graduation may be delayed or denied.
-13-
Transfer Credit
Granting of prior credit such as reduced hours in the program or any tuition discount for any previous education or training completed doesn’t apply at HGC. When credits are transferred, there is no charge to you for this. Most of your credits will not transfer unless they are foreign language or American History classes that correspond with the description in the HGC catalog.
Graduation
Application for Graduation
All who wish to graduate must officially apply for graduation. Students who are applying for the associate degree should do so during the last semester of their Sophomore year and bachelor degree during the last semester of their Senior year. Application forms are available at the Admissions Office. Submit the completed application form and the graduation fee of $20.00 for either the associate or bachelor degree. The associate degree graduates should apply no later than January 20, 2023 for May, 2023 graduation. Bachelor degree graduates should apply no later than January 20, 2023 for May, 2023 graduation.

Non-degree seeking students may audit Internet (home-study) courses.
Intensive Genealogical Research Internships
Intensive genealogical research internships have been developed for amateurs wanting more knowledge and research skills for tracing their own genealogy, professional genealogists
wanting to expand areas of expertise, historians/archivists needing continuing education and those wanting research experience for their own personal genealogical research. Intensive genealogical research internships are available in the following areas:
Genealogical Research, Evaluating Genealogical Evidence and Genealogical Methodology
German and German American Genealogical Research
French and French Canadian and French American Genealogical Research
British Isles and British Isles American Genealogical Research
Scandinavian and Scandinavian American Genealogical Research
African American Genealogical Research
Spanish and Spanish American Genealogical Research
Oriental and Oriental American Genealogical Research
Native American Genealogical Research
Polynesian/American Genealogical Research
Russian, Polish, Romanian, other former Eastern-Block countries and American Research
Dates of these internships will be posted at the Heritage Genealogical College web site: and the Know Your Heritage Organization web site:
All intensive genealogical research internships listed above are designed to give college-level instruction, testing and hands-on training in the topics needed for successfully locating ancestors in the area taught. Beginning genealogists are urged to take the Verifying Genealogical Research course first. Special emphasis is placed on making the transition from American research to foreign country research. For example, German settlements in the United States are studied with the purpose of determining where in Europe particular German settlers emigrated from. Techniques for determining Immigrant origins for foreign country areas are stressed. For the ethnic African American and Native American courses, emphasis is placed on understanding where to look for records that will trace ancestry back. For example, how to take an African American family from records created after 1865 into records connecting families back to slavery. Native American emphasis will be on understanding records created by the United States government that help trace Indian ancestry back as well as learning of the various Indian tribes who were likely to intermarry with European settlers.
Intensive genealogical research internships are designed to give three (3) semester credit hours and/or two (2) semester credit hours towards the genealogy research certificates in specialty areas. Non-degree seeking students may receive a Certificate of Completion for passing the class with a grade of 70% or higher. Certificate of Completion grades will be kept on file at the Records Office in case students decide to apply for a degree later on and for verification that the course was passed successfully. These Certificate of Completion course grades will convert to associate and bachelor degree credits if a student decides to enroll later and complete a degree.
