This investment in your future not only requires your personal
commitment, discipline and focus, but a financial commitment as
well. At Aveda Institute, we believe every student should be able to
obtain an education, regardless of their financial status. To make
this possible, our Financial Aid Office can help you explore your
funding options, meet filing deadlines and understand the basic
principles of money management.
Student Responsibilities
1 The student must be enrolled
and maintain satisfactory
academic progress (SAP) to
receive financial aid.
2 The student must sign an
affidavit of educational
purposes and must obtain
Selective Service Registration
compliance and default
certification. (This is done
by filing out the FAFSA.)
3 The student must notify the
Financial Aid Office of any name
or address change.
4 The student must notify
the Financial Aid Office of
any changes in his/her
financial situation.
5 The student must notify the
Financial Aid Office of any
outside scholarships, grants or
other sources of assistance.
6 The student must comply with
all financial aid deadlines.
About Financial Aid The basic concept of financial aid is the determination of financial need. Financial
need is defined as the difference between the total school costs and the
portion of those costs that is expected to be met by parental and/or student
contributions. To equitably determine a student’s financial need, Aveda Institute
utilizes the federal needs analysis set forth by the U.S. Department of Education.
Selection Criteria
Students must file all
requested forms as requested
in a timely manner. Also,
students may be required to
provide documentation to
verify information provided on
the FAFSA. The financial aid
verification policy and deadlines
are available upon request from
the Financial Aid Office.
Amount of Awards
The determination of the amount
of the award is solely at the
discretion of the agency
making the loan or award, and is
based on the EFC number from a
processed FAFSA. Maximum and
minimum awards are available
with admissions information.
Disbursement of the Loans
Disbursements are issued to
the school and electronically
transferred into the student’s
tuition account. The student
must be in attendance and
making satisfactory progress to
receive the loan. Aveda Institute
requires students to bring their
tuition accounts up to date at
the time the funds are disbursed.
Repayment
Terms of any loan
or awards, including repayment
schedules, are established by
the agency making the loan or
award. Information regarding
repayment should be obtained
from the agency.
Loan Counseling
All students receiving loan funds
while attending Aveda Institute
are required to complete an
Entrance Loan Counseling
session at the beginning of their
program and an Exit Interview
session near the end of their
program. Entrance counseling
usually takes place the first
day of classes or at orientation.
Students will be notified of these
dates in advance.
Credit Balance Policy
Currently Enrolled Students
Aveda Institute New York
(AINY) follows the regulations
established by the federal
government for students who
have on their account a credit
balance created by federal
financial aid funds. Within the
policy, a currently enrolled
student with excess funds in
his/her account may obtain
a cash disbursement, also
known as a student refund,
by submitting a request to the
Office of Student Services.
The disbursement will be
processed and remitted to these
students within two weeks.
20 | 21
Graduates
Graduates are entitled to any
credit balances left on their
student accounts. Any such
student can request the credit
balance upon separation from
the Institute. If, however, the
credit balance is not requested
and the credit was caused
by student loan funds, the
Institute will return the credit
balance to the student’s lender
to reduce the amount that the
student borrowed. All credit
balance checks for graduates
and inactive students are
mailed within two weeks from
determining that the student met
the requirements for graduation
or has stopped attending.

Student Loans
Direct Subsidized Federal
Stafford Student Loan Program
If you are unable to meet
tuition expenses from grants,
work and family assistance,
you may be eligible to apply
for a subsidized Federal
Stafford loan. Maximum loan
amounts and current interest
rates for the Federal Stafford
Student Loan may be obtained
at the time of application.
The loan is guaranteed by the
federal government, which
pays the interest while the
student is in school. Please
visit www.easiapp.org/avedany
or www.studentloans.org
for further information and
application procedures.
Direct Unsubsidized Federal
Stafford Student Loan Program
An unsubsidized Federal Stafford
Loan may be available to you if you
are independent, do not qualify
for a need-based loan or are
22 | 23
eligible for less than the loan
limit on a Federal Stafford Loan.
The same terms and conditions
apply, except that the borrower
accrues interest while in school.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans
Creditworthy parents of
dependent undergraduate
students may borrow under
the PLUS Loan program. PLUS
loans are not based on financial
need. Unlike the Direct Stafford
Student Loans, the borrower pays
interest and enters repayment
while the student attends school.
Deferment and/or forbearance
options are possible during the
period of enrollment.
Alternative/Private Loans
Dependent or independent
students may borrow with a
creditworthy cosignatory under
the Alternative Loan program.
Please go to www.easiapp.org/
avedany for information on
loan limitations, application
and disbursement procedures
and current interest rates. The
borrower may be expected to pay
the interest monthly, or enter
a reduced repayment schedule
while in school.
Grants
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is a student
financial aid program designed
to assist students in the
continuation of their education
after high school. A student who
does not have a bachelor’s degree,
is a U.S. citizen or permanent
resident, and is enrolled as a
regular student in an eligible
institution may apply for a Federal
Pell Grant. Eligibility is determined
by the student’s/family’s
financial resources, according
to a formula developed and
reviewed by the U.S. Department
of Education and Congress.
New York State Vocational
Educational Services for Individuals
with Disabilities (VESID)
AINY participates in the training
of eligible students through the
VESID Program. This program is
designed to serve persons with
disabilities that constitute or
result in a substantial handicap
to obtaining and maintaining
a gainful occupation. VESID
counselors may refer qualified
persons to AINY and sponsor
them through direct payments
to the Institute that cover part
or all of their institutional
charges. All VESID-approved
students will need to complete
a FAFSA and meet all verification
requirements. For more details,
please contact Student Services
at 212.367.0335.
AmeriCorps
AmeriCorps is the National
Service Program that provides
Americans with educational
awards in exchange for community
service. After completing
1,700 hours of service, an
AmeriCorps member will receive
an education award of $4,725.
This award can be used at AINY
to cover educational expenses.
For further information about
AmeriCorps, please contact the
Financial Aid Office.
Return of Federal Title IV Aid
Students receiving financial
assistance under the federal
Title IV programs (Pell or Federal
Direct Loans) are subject
to federal regulations that
determine the amount of Title IV
funds they are eligible to retain
subsequent to withdrawal. Only
federal financial aid recipients
withdrawing within the first 60%
of the program are subject to
these regulations.
The Return of Title IV Aid
regulations require the Institute
to calculate the amount of federal
aid the student has earned
up to the time of withdrawal.
Students earn aid in proportion
to the amount of program clock
hours they complete. Further
explanation, including examples
illustrating the application of
AINY’s tuition adjustment policy
and the Return of Title IV Aid
regulations, can be obtained at
the Office of Student Services.

Policies and Standards (cont.)
To help prepare you for the workplace, Aveda Institute operates much like a professional salon
environment. Late arrivals, absences and other interruptions in your training have a significant effect on
your achievement—just as they would if you were an employee in a salon, day spa or other professional
environment. By law, we must keep track of your training hours for licensure or certification.
T o ensure that each student
receives consistent and
comprehensive instruction in
the classroom and clinical
environments, students must
remain in assigned areas or
receive instructor permission to
be in unassigned areas.
4 To benefit from the training and
technical experience Aveda
Institute offers, students must
be mentally alert and have a
sober state of mind. We strongly
support the National Drug
Prevention Program, which does
not condone the use of controlled
substances and intoxicants.
Students using or discovered
using controlled substances or
intoxicants will be terminated.

Minor Standard Suspension
Students who are suspended
by the Review Board have
up to 30 days to provide the
Board documentation that the
stipulations have been met.
Once the Review Board has
agreed that the student is
prepared to comply with the
professional standards of the
school, the student may return
to school; however, a record of
suspension will be placed in
the student’s permanent file.
Policies and Standards (cont.)
While a student is suspended,
no clock hours may be earned,
and tuition charges are
suspended. If a student on
suspension fails to respond
in 30 days, the student is
automatically terminated.
Major Standard Violations
Major standards include using
controlled substances/alcohol,
defacing or destroying property,
stealing, falsifying documents,
committing fraud, abusing and/
or causing physical harm to
others and violating local, state
and federal laws. At anytime
during a student’s program, the
violation of a major standard
will result in termination.

Student Grievance Procedure
Step 1:
Students are required to share
solutions to challenges that
they observe in their classrooms
and on the clinic floor. Copies of
the Challenge/Solution Form are
available from educators or the
Student Services Coach. Often
improvements are made due to
the constructive suggestions
that are received on these
forms. After thoughtfully
completing the form, the
Challenge/Solution Form can
be submitted to an instructor
or Department Manager or it
can be placed in the locked
box located next to the
Director’s office.
Step 2:
Students will meet with
the Department Manager
and Director to discuss any
grievance and to create a plan
of action toward resolution.
Once received, solutions will
be evaluated and returned
within 10 business days
with a resolution.
Step 3:
If the plan of action has not
been met, post a meeting
with Institute Management.
The student may also contact
NACCAS at 4401 Ford Ave.,
Suite 1300, Alexandria, VA
22302 (703.600.7600) or
the New York State Education
Department of Proprietary

Attendance Policies
Absences
If students encounter situations
that mandate missed hours,
such as emergencies and
illnesses, each field of study
has a predetermined emergency
“pool of hours” that can be used
for class or clinic time missed.
The pool of hours has been
established as the maximum
amount of time that students
can be absent and still achieve
the quality of skills that will be
necessary in the workplace.
Cosmetology: Cosmetology
students can be absent for
a total of 56 hours, only 21
of which can be missed on
Saturdays. After Cosmetology
students have been absent for
46 hours or have used their
21 hours on Saturdays, they
will receive a warning letter
communicating that their pool
of hours has only 10 hours
remaining/or that they have
exhausted their Saturday
hours. After 56.25 or 21.25
minutes missed on Saturdays,
the student is terminated
without appeal.
Esthiology: Esthiology students
can be absent for a total of
37 hours, only 14 of which
can be missed on Saturdays.
After Esthiology students have
been absent for 27 hours or
have used their 14 hours on
Saturdays, they will receive a
warning letter communicating
that their pool of hours has
only 10 hours remaining or
that they have exhausted their
Saturday hours. After 37.25
or 14.25 minutes missed on
Saturdays, the student is
terminated without appeal.
Notice of Expected Absence
Students planning to be absent
must notify their instructor and
Student Services in advance of
the days they are going to
be absent.
Time Record Policies
It is a state requirement that the
school provide an accurate system
for recording all students’ times,
services and class hours. Students
are ultimately responsible for
tracking hours on a daily basis.
Aveda Institute New York will
honor documented daily time
worked, up to 7 hours. This is in
accordance with the State of
New York, which allows us to issue
no more than 7 hours per day.
Holidays
Aveda Institute recognizes the
following days as legal holidays:
New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday*
Memorial Day*
Independence Day
Labor Day*
Thanksgiving Day
December 24 + 25
Days off due to legal holidays are
recorded as such and extend the
enrollment contract.

Cancellation and Refund Policies (cont.)
Veterans Refund Policy
If the student receives veteran’s
benefits for attendance in a
state or federally approved
course and fails to enter the
course, withdraws or if the
student is terminated at any
time prior to completion, that
student receives a refund of all
tuition fees and other charges
which exceed a prorata portion
of the total charges.
The prorata portion is
determined by the ratio of the
number of days or hours of
instruction completed to the
total number of instruction
days or hours in the course, in
accordance with Chapter 36,
Title 38 US Code Section 1776.
An established registration fee
in an amount not to exceed
$10 need not be subject
to proration. Where the
established registration fee is
more than $10, the amount in
excess is prorated.
Withdrawals
AINY follows federal regulations
for withdrawn students who
have on their account, after
all refund calculations are
completed, a credit balance
created by federal financial aid
funds. If, on the other hand,
a credit balance exists, after
all refund calculations are
completed, that was caused by a
non-federal source; AINY returns
the unused funds to the original
funding source.
As part of this overall policy
for withdrawn students, AINY
collects an authorization from
each student that acknowledges
its institutional policy and
authorizes such a returns of
funds at the time of withdrawal.
The failure of a student to
notify the Director in writing of
withdraw may delay a refund of
tuition due pursuant to Section
5002 of the Education Law.
the founder of
aveda institute
Horst M. Rechelbacher
Aveda Corporation founder Horst M. Rechelbacher has redefined the face of beauty
worldwide. For nearly four decades, he has been a major, motivating force in hair care
and the beauty industry. A world-renowned hair stylist, artist, entrepreneur and educator,
he’s a master of innovation: moved by a keen intelligence, artistic talent and quest for
knowledge, he has invented and perfected cutting-edge techniques, trends, products and
treatments imbued with the multiple benefits of pure flower and plant ingredients.
His beliefs in the powers of nature and his efforts to preserve the environment,
combined with his lifelong commitment to excellence, have spawned a new sense
of beauty that goes far beyond surface image. Reflected in Aveda’s expanding global
network of educational Institutes, salons, spas and stores, the Aveda concept of beauty
encompasses a complete system of care, using plant-based products, treatments
and simple rituals to enhance appearance, well-being and the quality of life. In turn,
this approach also advocates more environmentally responsible business practices
and life styles.
Horst’s dynamic vision and ideas are embodied in the Aveda Institute, which he founded
in 1976. Under his vital leadership, the Aveda Institute has become an internationally
acclaimed center of learning for professionals in cosmetology, esthiology, manicuring,
spa body care and massage. The very essence of Horst’s vision and ideas, the
Aveda Institute is a stimulating, interactive learning center that offers a comprehensive
program that blends basic theory with practical experience in real-life salon and
spa environments.
