26
Return to Title IV Policy
The Federal Return of Title IV funds formula dictates the amount of Federal Title IV aid that must be
returned to the federal government by the school and/or the student. The federal formula is
applicable to an eligible student receiving federal aid when that student withdraws on or before the
60% point in time in the payment period. If a student never begins attendance for the payment period,
the R2T4 formula does not apply.
For official withdrawals: If a student wishes to withdraw from school, they must notify the School
Director in writing or orally. The date the notification is received is the date of determination.
For unofficial withdrawals The school’s determination that a student is no longer in school for is
determined after 14 days of non-attendance.
If a student is on an official Leave of Absence and fails to return on the scheduled date, the date of
withdrawal is the last day of attendance prior to the start of the Leave of Absence.
The federal formula requires a Return of Title IV calculation if the student received or could have
received (based on eligibility criteria) federal financial assistance in the form of Pell Grants, SEOG,
Stafford Loans or Plus loans during the payment period. The percentage of Title IV aid earned is equal
to the percentage of the payment period that was completed as of the withdrawal date if this occurs
on or before the 60% point in time. After the 60% point of the payment period the student is
considered to have earned 100% of the aid for the period. The percentage that has not been earned is
calculated by subtracting the percentage of Title IV aid earned from 100%.
The percentage of the payment period completed is calculated by the scheduled clock hours in the
payment period as of the withdrawal date divided by the total clock hours in the payment period. The
amount to be returned is calculated by subtracting the amount of Title IV assistance earned from the
amount of Title IV aid that was or could have been disbursed as of the withdrawal date.
If a student receives less Title IV funds than the amount earned, the school will offer the student a
disbursement of the earned aid that was not received at the time of their withdrawal which is a post
withdrawal disbursement. Post withdrawal disbursements will be made from Pell grant funds first if
eligible. If there are current educational costs still due the school at the time of withdrawal, a Pell
grant post withdrawal disbursement will be credited to the student’s account. Any Pell grant funds in
excess of current educational costs will be released to the student. The funds must be released as
soon as possible but no more than 45 days after the date of determination. Any federal loan program
funds due in a post withdrawal disbursement must be offered to the student and the school must
receive the student’s permission before crediting their account.
If a credit balance exists on the student's account after the R2T4 and institutional refund calculations
are done, the credit balance must be used to pay any grant overpayment that exists based on the
current withdrawal within 14 days from the date that the R2T4 calculation was performed. The
overpayment must be eliminated prior to offering a credit balance to a student.
27
Return to Title IV Policy
(continued)
The school must return Title IV funds to the programs from which the student received aid during the
payment period in the following order up to the net amount disbursed from each source.
1.
Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loan
2.
Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan
3.
Federal Perkins Loan
4.
Federal PLUS Loan
5.
Direct PLUS Loan
6.
Federal Pell Grant
7.
FSEOG
8.
Iraq Afghanistan Service Grant
Returns must be made as soon as possible to the federal programs but no later than 45 days after the
date of determination.
The statute requires that a student is responsible for all unearned Title IV program assistance that the
school is not required to return. This is determined by subtracting the amount returned by the school
from the total amount of unearned Title IV funds to be returned.
28
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Satisfactory progress in attendance and academic work is a requirement for all students enrolled in this
school. It is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students receive a copy prior to the first day of
class. The policy complies regulations established by the National Accrediting Commission of Career
Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) and the Federal regulations established by the United States Department
of Education.
Evaluation Periods
Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress as follows:
Cosmetology
450, 900, 1200, 1500
Manicuring
175, 350
Instructor Training (750hours)
375, 750
Instructor Training (2000hours)
500, 1000, 1500, 2000
Satisfactory: Students with a minimum of 85% GPA and 75% attendance
Academic Progress Evaluations
The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as
determined by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum
number of practical experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical
assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as
satisfactory or better (the computer system will reflect completion as the practical assignments as a
100 % rating). If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the
performance must be repeated. Students must maintain a written grade average of 85% and pass a
final written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed test and
incomplete assignments.
The following factors will be measured to determine academic progress:
 Theory work (test grades, homework, etc.)
 Practical work
 Laboratory work
 Projects
Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:
95 – 100 Excellent 90 - 94 Very Good 85 - 89 Satisfactory Below 85 Unsatisfactory – Below
Standards
*Students will receive written academic progress at least two times during enrollment.
Attendance Progress Evaluations
Students are required to attend a minimum of 75% of the hours possible based applicable attendance
schedule in order to be considered maintaining satisfactory attendance progress.
Evaluations are conducted at the end of each evaluation period to determine if the student has met
the minimum requirements. The attendance percentage is determined by dividing the total hours
accrued by the total number of hours scheduled. At the end of each evaluation period, the school will
determine if the student has maintained at least 75% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the
course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the
maximum time frame allow.
29

Determination of Progress Status
Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and at the evaluation point are
considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Students
will receive a hard copy of their Satisfactory Progress Determination at the time of each evaluation.
Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Progress may have their Title IV Funding interrupted,
unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of probation.
Financial Aid Warning
Student failing to meet minimum progress requirements will be placed on financial aid warning with
the opportunity to meet requirements for the next evaluation period. The student will be advised in
writing on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the
end of the warning period, the student has still not met the academic requirements, he/she may be
placed on probation with successful appeal. Students will be eligible for financial aid during the
financial aid probation period.
Financial Aid Probation
Students failing to meet satisfactory academic progress after the financial aid warning period can
appeal the determination and if a successful appeal will be placed on financial aid probation and
considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the first probationary period. If the
school feels that the student will not be able to meet SAP during the probation period, the school can
place the student on an academic plan. As long as the student is meeting the academic plan even if
they do not meet SAP at the end of the probationary period, the student may be placed on financial aid
probation for one more evaluation period. If the student still does not meet SAP at the end of that
probation period Title IV aid is terminated. The process of an academic plan would apply to programs
that are longer than two pay periods. The student will be advised in writing of the actions required to
attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation.
30
(continued)
Re-Establishment of Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students wanting to return after failing to meet SAP, must file an appeal explaining why they were not
making SAP and what has changed to allow them to succeed. if the appeal is successful, the student
will be placed in the same status they were in prior to not meeting SAP.
Interruptions, Course Incompletes, Withdrawals
If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the
same progress status as prior to the leave. Hours elapsed during a leave of absence will extend the
student’s contract period by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence and will not be
included in the student’s cumulative attendance percentage calculation. Students who withdraw prior
to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic
progress status as at the time of withdrawal.
Appeal Procedure
If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory academic progress, the student may appeal
the determination within ten calendar days. Reasons for which students may appeal a negative
progress determination include death of a relative, an injury or illness of the student, or any other
allowable special supporting documentation of the reasons why the determination should be reverse.
This information should include what has changed about the student’s situation that will allow them to
achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress by the next evaluation point. Appeal documents will be
reviewed and a decision will be made and reported to the student within 30 calendar days. The appeal
and decision documents will be retained in the student file. If the student prevails upon an appeal, the
satisfactory academic progress determination will be reversed and federal financial aid will be
reinstated, if applicable.
Noncredit and Remedial Courses
Noncredit and remedial courses do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect
upon the school’s satisfactory academic progress standards.
Transfer Hours
With regard to Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student's transfer hours will be counted as both
attempted and earned hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable time frame has been
exhausted.
Re-establishing Title IV Eligibility
A student who has lost financial aid due to unsatisfactory progress may be re-instated after the student
has a successful appeal and is able to meet the standards of satisfactory academic progress. The
student will be placed on financial aid probation. Failure to meet SAP at the end of the financial aid
probation period will result in termination from the school.
31

Job & Physical Demands of the Profession
Job Demand Survey 2007 - Results for Mississippi
Since 1990, NACCAS has commissioned several Job Demand Surveys, to
provide quantitative data on cosmetology careers, earnings potential, and job
openings. The most recent survey, completed in May 2007, compiles data from
6,203 salons responding to a national survey. The 2007 Job Demand Survey
results indicate that salons in Mississippi plan to hire 3,317 new employees in
the next twelve months. The average annual salary for a salon professional in Mississippi is
$38,531. This amount does not include tips and gratuities. Nationally, the average salon
professional’s salary is $35,973. Most importantly, 80 percent of Mississippi salon owners who
attempted to hire new employees in 2006 said they were unable to find properly-trained
applicants. This means that jobs would be immediately available for salon professionals.
Chart 1 – Percent of anticipated new hires by job category
61% Cosmetologist
1% Barber/stylist
11% Braider
6% Electrologist
1% Hair Colorist
8% Massage Therapist
10% Nail Technician
2% Skin Care Specialist
0% Other
As of January 2007, there were 16,129 professionals employed at Mississippi’s 3,534 salons. 70
percent of salons in the state are employer-owned, and 8 percent are booth-rental salons. The
other 22 percent are a combination of the two. 56 percent of Mississippi salons are classified by
their owners as full-service salons; 15 percent are listed as haircutting salons. Barbershops make
up 8 percent of the total. Nationally, 58

33
Job & Physical Demands of the Profession
(continued)
Physical Demands
 The work can be arduous and physically demanding because of long hours with hands at
shoulder level or sitting over a nail technician’s station.
 A personal investment may be required for advertising and promotions such as printing
of business cards.
 There will be exposure to various chemicals and fumes, which may cause allergic
reactions or could be harmful if used incorrectly.
 The practice of safety and sanitation is within the industry.
 Methods of compensation vary and may include straight salary, salary plus commission,
sliding scale commission, hourly, retail commission or independent contracting (renting
space and equipment from an existing salon).
Job Placement and Employment Assistance Policy
While the academy's cannot guarantee student employment for graduates, assistance in finding
suitable employment is provided by posting area job openings on the school bulletin boards for
students to review. Students also receive training in professionalism and job search skills
including how to write a resume, complete an employment application, and prepare for an
effective interview. Graduates are encouraged to maintain contact with the school and followup with the school on current employment or employment assistance. The school maintains a
network of relationships with area professionals and employers who provide mentoring to
students while they are enrolled in school. Job referrals are made known to interested graduates
upon request.
34
We want to assist our graduates with Gainful Employment!
All Salon Levels
At the salon or stylist level there are many advancement opportunities, both financial and employment.
Those who show leadership qualities could rise to management positions. As in many other fields, the
beauty industry has reached the age of specialization. This means that in some of the larger salons
throughout the country there are hair designers who elect to specialize in one or more of the many
services performed in full-service salon. Texture, color, makeup/skin care are just a few of the
specialized fields within the salon network. Of course, owning your own business is a possibility.
Teaching Level
This area can be broken down into two facets. The first is beauty school instructor. This would require a
dedicated individual who has, or is willing to acquire, the overall knowledge it takes to instruct in the all
phases of our profession. Instructors are usually paid a salary and have the possibilities of moving up to
school manager or styles director. School ownership is also possible.
Manufacturers
All beauty products you see advertised are produced or manufactured by someone. The companies who
produce or manufacture these products need people to call on salons, schools, and distributors to
demonstrate and sell their product. These people are usually called field reps or technicians. This career
opportunity requires extensive travel and special training at the companies' headquarters. There are
many advancement possibilities in this position.
Distributor Level
Here you would function primarily as a sales consultant. This would include such details as the
introduction of new products, inventory control, retail merchandising, salon equipment and design
advice, and income instances, basic business advice. The distributor consultant acts as the liaison
between the manufacturer and the working stylist or salon owner.
