Emergency Response Plan/Evacuation Procedures

American Professional Institute has developed Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures for any incident which threatens
the safety of students and staff on campus. These procedures are outlined in the Student Handbook and are available in Student
Services offices at each campus. All procedures will be reviewed at each orientation and tested monthly.

Notifications of Campus Community

Methods of communications with the campus community have been developed to ensure quick and accurate dissemination
of information. An auditory alarm system (utilizing interior and exterior speakers) is the primary means of emergency notification
at American Professional Institute during office hours. During an emergency/disaster, the appropriate alarm system is activated
according to the type of emergency. If needed and when appropriate, the email system may be activated for the immediate
transmission of specific information regarding an emergency to all affected areas of the campus. In addition to email, other electronic
methods of issuing notifications could be used, such as notifications on the campus website. Additionally, a telephone tree network
could also be activated. In the event of a disabled telephone system and as another means of communication, building occupants
would be notified in person by the Building Coordinators in case of a daytime emergency and at night by Security Officers and/or
Staff Supervisors.

Media Communications

The Regional or Campus Directors are responsible for any news media contacts to include; development and distribution of press
releases and to initiate news broadcasts in reference to suspension of institutional operations with the approval of the CEO or CFO.
In addition, these employees will assist in the development and/or distribution of information to faculty/staff.

Faculty, staff and/or students will direct all requests for information from the news media to the Regional or Campus Directors. Staff
and/or faculty are not authorized to communicate with the media without receiving prior approval from the CEO or CFO.
