Students receive monthly grade sheets with completed hours, test grades and practical requirements.
Students are evaluated as they have successfully completed one half of their training and at the end
of each phase as they transition to the next. Minimum numbers of practical requirements are set by

Criterion sheets and rubrics are used throughout your training and look at the stages of progress. The
elements of each service or skill have been broken down to areas that are necessary for mastery of the
skill. The rubrics are in a number format with “0” being unsatisfactory; (no points have been given,
your instructor has indicated that you have not satisfactorily completed the required task line by NOT
checking the teacher assessment box, meaning that you are unable to complete the task) Level “1”; (
means that you require constant assistance to complete the task ) Level “2” (means you can complete
the task with some assistance) Level “3” (means that you are able to complete the task line
independently). This type of practical assessment is used during your class practice and learning to
help you understand what the expectations of each element of the task you are learning is.
The Rubrics and the rubric format are used for class room assignment and day to day practical practice.
A “check” in the teacher’s assessment box would indicate a “yes” and all points are awarded
~5~
In addition to the rubrics, criterion sheets are used as a method of evaluation for some assessments.
The criterion sheets are used for individual areas; Complete or final testing; mock board and midpoint assessment evaluations; or at each evaluation period as listed in the SAP Policy/Handbook.
These forms are completed by your instructor, using a “YES” or “NO” format. This method of
assessment has been adopted as a for our evaluations, as that is the method used by the examination
company for the actual licensing exam. Each practical grade sheet is broken down to task lines that
have a designated point value. If the point deductions are greater than 25, the student would then have
a numerical grade of less than 75 and would be required to re take that evaluation area as per the
grading criterion.

Standards of Grading Progress for All Curriculum Subjects
We are a Pivot Point Member School. We use the Pivot Point methods and curriculum. With each of the
modules there are various exercises and practical applications which must be learned and accomplished
by the Student.
To help assess the progress of the student in the curriculum, “Rubrics” are provided for each area of
each module which provides a self assessment as well as allowing the instructor to work with the
student during that assessment to improve and gain confidence and skills. The criterion for the practical
grading is contained on the rubric assessment. The Rubrics and the rubric format are used for class room
assignment and day to day practical practice. Formal/phase shift, mock board and mid-point
assessment evaluations are completed using a “YES” or “NO” format. This method of grading those
evaluations has been adopted as that is the method used by the examination company for the actual
licensing exam. Each practical grade sheet is broken down to task lines that have a designated point
value. If the point deductions are greater than 25, the student would then have a numerical grade of less
than 75 and would be required to re take that evaluation area as per the grading criterion.
HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED
The criteria sheets and rubrics look at stages of progress. These tools are in number format. A score of
“0” or “Unsatisfactory” and would mean that you are unable to complete the task, need constant
supervision, and work is less than satisfactory. A score of “1” in an area would mean that it is a “Level 1"
or you require constant assistance to complete the task. A score of “2” in an area would mean that you
are able to complete the task with some assistance, or is a “Level 2”. A score of “3” would mean that you
are able to complete the task independently and that you have achieved entry-level Proficiency in that
area and are at a “Level 3”. A “check” in the teacher’s assessment box would indicate a “yes” that you
had completed the task successfully, while the lack of a “check” would indicate a “NO” that you did not
complete the task line successfully and no points would be given. These types of assessments are used
in your classroom and in your practical clinic practice.
This format is consistent with the rubric sheets you are using from your books in practice and will make
them a simple check list for you to evaluate yourself and/or your instructor to use.
The elements of each service or “skill” have been broken down to areas that are necessary for mastery
of the area. This provides you and the instructor with an objective forum in which each element of that
skill may be evaluated. The criteria will help you determine your expected timing, skill, knowledge, and
mastery of each element that is important to that service. The Rubrics and the rubric format are used
for class room assignment and day to day practical practice
Your overall evaluation will be rated using the following criteria. Formal/phase shift, mock board and
mid-point evaluations are considered to be MAJOR assessments. The criterion are evaluated using a
“YES” or “NO” format. This method of grading those evaluations has been adopted as that is the method
used by the examination company for the actual licensing exam. Each practical grade sheet is broken
down to task lines that have a designated point value. If the point deductions are greater than 25, the
student would then have a numerical grade of less than 75 and would be required to re take that
evaluation area as per the grading criterion.
100-93 Excellent or (A) - Performs task at a salon quality level. “3” was answered to most questions.
“2”s are scored only in non critical areas. In addition to the “skills” content, behaviors expected for a
salon professional are included with any “3”s given i.e. the student was on time for and prepared for
class with required materials; participated in class; returned from lunch on time; did not make the client
wait excessively, etc. * 1 or less “no” on major assessments (listed above)
~ 13 ~
92-85 Very Good or (B) - Performs task well consistently- exceptional ability- requires little or no
assistance. Perform tasks with appropriate speed and quality. “2’s were scored for the majority of areas
with some “3 s” in the most proficient areas Salon quality level. * 2 or less “NO’s” on major assessments
(listed above)
84-75 Satisfactory or (C) - Performs task with some speed and quality- - Performs task satisfactorily.
Student requires some assistance and monitoring to complete the task. Needs more practice to perfect
work to achieve salon quality; 2”s and some “1”s were scored for most questions. Needs more practice
and review for improvement; 5 or less “No’s” on major assessments (listed above)
Below 74 Unsatisfactory or (F) - Requires constant assistance to perform task or cannot perform this
task. Work is less than satisfactory, and the student does not grasp this skill or concept. This grade
requires complete review of the basic procedures and knowledge. “0" scored on the majority of
questions. A score in this range requires a review and remediation to determine specific areas to assist
the student in successfully passing to the next element of the course work. (6 or more “NO’s)
Safety and sanitation are a part of every service. Considerations for areas of sanitation and safety are
included in this evaluation and can account for up to 50% of your grade, Instructors are allowed less
professional judgment in areas that may be considered to affect the overall health safety or welfare of
the customer, student or staff. The areas of safety are designated by the use of the statement “safely
using infection control procedures.
PLEASE REMEMBER, IF YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SPECIFIC SERVICE BY
ONE OF THE INSTRUCTORS, IT IS USUALLY FOR THAT PATRON, FOR THAT PARTICULAR SERVICE, AND
WOULD STILL FIT IN TO THE GENERAL GUIDELINES.










The Student educational records are made available to staff and faculty who have a need to
know when fulfilling their official responsibilities at The School of Hairstyling
Such educational records are released on the condition that they will be used for a specified
educational purpose and officials will not permit any other access to the information without
the written consent of the student involved
FERPA authorizes the release of “Directory Information” without the student’s prior consent and
under certain conditions which are set forth in the Act. The School of Hairstyling has defined its

Degree Types and Dates
“Personally Identifiable Information” is information contained in any record which makes a student’s
identity easily traceable. The faculty and staff must take care to protect this information from third
parties out-side the School, and you must work within the confines of legitimate educational interest
within the institution.
The School of Hairstyling’s administration offices is required by FERPA to have a signed “Acceptance of
Responsibility” form for each Faculty and Staff person, who has access to Student Educational Records.
Forms for staff are available in the office and will be maintained as a part of the faculty or staff’s
personnel file.
Almost any student-related piece of paper is part of that student’s educational record. Also studentrelated information displayed on a computer screen is considered part of the student’s educational
record.
Grades:
Students’ scores or grades will not be displayed publicly. Even with names obscured, numeric student
identifiers are considered personally identifiable information and must not be used. Grades, or hours of
attendance are distributed for purposes of faculty advisement and should not be placed in plain view on
desks or in plain view in public places. Graded papers or tests should not be left unattended on a desk in
plain view in a public area nor should students sort through them in order to retrieve their own work.
Class rosters/grade sheets:
These and other reposts must be handled in a confidential manner and the information contained on
them must not be re-disclosed to third parties
Parents:
Parents, spouses and other relations do not have a right to information contained in a student’s
education record without the student’s consent and written authorization each time the request is
made.
Computer and electronic data storage:
Access to the Student Information system, is not authorization to view the data. Faculty and staff are
deemed to be “School Officials” and can access data in the School Management Programs if they have a
“legitimate educational interest.” A legitimate education interest exists if the faculty or staff member
needs to view the education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Neither
curiosity nor personal interest, are a legitimate educational “need to know.”
The consequences for not following the law are as follows:

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
All students are directly responsible to the instructors first. Details regarding program procedures will be
covered and questions will be answered during the preregistration consultation; at orientation; at the
beginning of the program or as the need arises. Problems of any nature are to be brought to the
attention of the instructors first and then to programs coordinator/director. If outside assistance is
required, the Director will seek assistance for the student problem. If necessary, a review board will be
established to assist with discipline areas and assistance for the settlement of problems or concerns in a
fair and equitable manner to all concerned. Policy, procedure and forms necessary for filing a written
grievance are included with the consumer information which is issued as an addendum to this
handbook.
PROFFESIONAL ETHICS
Professional ethics are systems of rules that tell professionals how they should act when they offer their
skills to the public. There are three things that your clients and your instructional staff will expect from
you as a professional cosmetologist and as a student in School they are Competence – Responsibility –
Desire to serve and be the best you can be; dedication and discipline; as well as keeping your knowledge
and skills up to date.
Your responsibilities to the client and the public are:
Give a full measure of service in the best interest of the client
~ 26 ~
Learn new methods, receive new ideas, remain teachable and improve techniques
Give the client the benefit of the doubt in matters of differences.
Observe the rules of sanitation and disinfection set by law and then goes the extra mile for the comfort
of the patron
Refrain from discussing with one client the type of services rendered to another.
Hold as confidential personal matters entrusted by the client.
Render service in such a manner that a charge of gross negligence, incompetency or misconduct would
be unwarranted.
The most important thing to remember is that you are a part of a team. When you work on the clinic
floor with other students, cooperation and team work facilitate the smooth operation of the school and
your education.
When you have finished school and work in a salon, your work contributes to the salon’s success or
failure. Get along with the people you work with. Work hard and conscientiously, be pleasant, and never
downgrading your co-workers, employer or your profession. If the Salon succeeds, you succeed; all of
the industry benefits and the patron reap the rewards. No matter what phase of your training you are
in, your abilities and techniques will be directly in proportion to the value of the service you give your
instructors, your patrons, and the value of your positive mental attitude.
Your attitude is your greatest asset if you have the best attitude you can have while you are in school
and in your career you will earn all of the success you want; you will be rewarded through your life with
the satisfaction that comes from honestly earning your success.
You must never lose your desire to learn. Learning is a continuous process everyday of your life. You
must change, adapt and find more to learn and educating yourself to become successful in what you
desire to achieve.
Your instructors desire to have your time in school an exciting, enthusiastic learning experience that you
will cherish forever. Everyone in this school is here to help you, counsel you and to aid you in any
manner possible. However, the one ingredient necessary is a desire to learn. The choice is yours. You
only have to choose.
This handbook contains all of the information necessary for your enrollment in the School of Hairstyling.
It is true and correct to the best of our knowledge and you as students will be given the opportunity to
discuss any or all portions of it that you may not understand.
This institution does not discriminate in its admission, instruction and/or its graduation policies, nor
will students be denied training on the basis of race or ethnic origins, religion, color, sex or age. Any
and all students are entitled to fair and equal opportunities and due process in regard to their education
and financial obligations
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS POLICY STATEMENT
The SCHOOL’S Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP) will apply to all enrolled students.
Only students maintaining satisfactory academic progress will be eligible for student financial aid
disbursements.
All students must maintain an accumulated grade point average of 75% (C) or better, in theory and
student salon practice if they are to be considered making satisfactory progress through their course of
study.
All students are required to maintain 90% attendance, in order to avoid overtime charges. Full policy is
provided to prospective students in all informational materials as well as being posted on our web site.
Written policies are provided to all enrolled students at orientation.
~ 27 ~
Normal course schedule is 34 clock hours per week. Students are contracted for a minimum attendance
of 30.6 hours per week which must be maintained in order to avoid overtime charges. The School is
open and available for students to gain a maximum of 40 hours per week, which allows for limited make
up hours or course acceleration. This schedule applies to all courses taught at the School. Grade sheets
and hours are signed and given to the students on a monthly basis, as required by State Law.
If there are problems with grades or attendance, students are counseled with regard to requirements
and progress toward graduation. Students not meeting the 90% attendance minimum may be subject
to overtime charges. Students are required a cumulative average of 75% in theory and clinic grades, to
maintain Satisfactory academic progress. Students who attendance or grades do not meet the required
benchmarks at the time of satisfactory progress evaluations, will be subject to a SAP warning, the
appeal process or other sanctions as outlined in the School’s full Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
Students on a warning status for either attendance or the low grade, will be given until the end of the
next evaluation period to raise their GPA to 75% and/or their attendance to the required minimums. If
the GPA and/or attendance is raised, the student will return to normal status, making satisfactory
progress.
Students, who fail to raise the GPA or fail to meet the attendance minimums and cannot make up the
hours in the period of time allowed, will be subject to the appeal process and a Probation period, if the
student successfully prevails upon the appeal or may face termination or suspension from school. The
student may appeal the probationary status, or suspension or termination of enrollment. The appeal
must be submitted in writing within 10 days of being notified that the student has an “unsatisfactory
progress” status, to be placed on Probationary status according to the SAP policy. The letter of appeal
should include an explanation of any special circumstances that might have caused their enrollment to
be terminated. Appeal forms are available in the Directors office.
If the student is receiving Federal Financial aid, the financial aid office and other staff members, will
review the appeal. Copies will be maintained in the student file and student will be notified in writing of
their decision. If the reviewer’s do not feel the appeal of special circumstances is justified, they will
inform the student that the probation and/or termination/or suspension stands. For student who are
not financial aid recipients, all appeals will be reviewed by a panel made of various staff members.
If the student is accepted back into school, they will return on an “extended probation” status and
financial aid may be restored. At this point, the student’s progress will be monitored weekly during this
extended evaluation period. If the GPA again falls below the 75% level or if attendance does not meet
the minimums set up in the probation information, any time during this extension period, the student’s
enrollment will be evaluated to determine if intervention is needed before termination. If the Student
is terminated, the student will not be allowed to apply for re-entry to the school for a minimum of
one year.
Students returning from a leave of absence or other official interruption of training will return to school
in the same satisfactory academic progress status they were in when they left school.
Students who withdraw from school or fail to complete their training will have notice of satisfactory
academic progress status at the time of their withdrawal placed in their student file. Students reentering
~ 28 ~
after a withdrawal from school will reenter at the same satisfactory academic progress status they had
when they withdrew from school if the student is eligible, all financial aid will be reinstated.
Course repetitions (repeated courses) and non-credit remedial courses do not apply to this satisfactory
academic progress policy, or to the Cosmetology programs.
Students will be advised regarding their progress at the end of each phase of the program, which
corresponds to the scheduled evaluation periods. Students requiring additional advisement of any type
should contact their school manager for referral.
All written course work, class assignments or assessments must be completed on the first day back in
attendance. Opportunities for missed practical assignments will be limited; students should strive to
attend all scheduled classes.
(*see the separate Satisfactory Progress Policy addendum that accompanies this handbook) Students
are reminded that 90% attendance is required to avoid overtime charges.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
*This policy applies to ALL enrolled students regardless of the program*. All students are required to
attend class regularly. The student is required to complete all course hours in accordance with State
requirements and or in accordance with the requirements of the School. The Student is expected to
maintain a high rate of attendance in order to assure timely completion of the educational program.
Failure to complete by the expected contract date will result in over contract fees and or may result in
termination. Regular holidays as well as 14 school days are built into the student contract as a
reasonable amount of personal leave time.
In today’s cosmetology market, employees are expected to come to work ON TIME and ready to work. A
typical work day usually consists of eight continuous hours of work with little to no breaks. And being a
“service” business, an employee is expected to be present and working when the clients wish to come
in. Typically, this means that salons are open on Saturday’s and most holidays.
Attendance takes on a very serious role in the very beginning of our program which we call our basics
program. Basics represents the time in our curriculum where you are learning all of the rules and getting
foundation information that, if missed, will seriously impact your education in a very detrimental way.
As importantly, there really is no way to “make up” hours during this extremely important time frame.
Every day brings new instruction and new techniques and gives you time to practice and perfect skills
that will be required throughout your professional career.
Our role as an educational facility is to present “best practices” of our industry and to hold our future
professionals to them. With that expectation, future professionals are required to achieve a minimum of
90% attendance for the program, first of all to avoid over time charges, and to be competently prepared
to be entry level in their new professional career. Future professionals are required to be on time and
remain in school for the entire scheduled day. The management team must approve all early dismissals.
CLOCKING PROCEDURE:
*This policy applies to all enrolled students regardless of program*
Record of attendance is to be kept by each student by making sure that they have clocked in and out
appropriately on the computerized time clock. Requirements and practical skills grades are collected on
the monthly grading sheet. Students should be punctual and prepared to begin class on time. All
Students are required to clock in and out in order to receive hours for the day. The Students must use
~ 29 ~
the time clock when leaving the building for lunch, breaks or at the completion of the day. It is the
students’ responsibility to make sure the grades and hours are appropriately recorded by obtaining the
grade from the instructor who evaluated the service and using the time clock correctly.
LATE ARRIVAL (TARDY POLICY):
Students who are not clocked in and or who are not physically in class or the student salon prior to 8:30
am for the days’ classes will not be admitted into class. The Director has the authority to grant or deny
late entry; all decisions are final. Students will not earn hours for periods in which they are not clocked
in regardless of approval or unapproved status
ABSENTEEISM:
Any education missed due to absence is the responsibility of the student. All students’ attendance will
be monitored for unofficial withdrawal. Students who fail to attend class or notify the school of
extenuating circumstances for 14 days will be considered withdrawn. All refund will be calculated and
formal cancellation proceedings will be made within 30 days of the last date of attendance. All written
course work, class assignments or assessments must be completed on the first day back in attendance.
Opportunities for missed practical assignments will be limited; students should strive to attend all
scheduled classes.
VACTION, SICK OR PERSONAL LEAVE TIME
Vacation/personal or sick leave is considered as a part of the 90% attendance requirement and allows
for 10% missed time regardless reasons for absences during the 2000 hour cosmetology or the 1000
hour instructor training. No vacation/personal leave is allowed for the manicuring/nail technology
program because of the short length of the program. Absence for illness requires a written Doctor’s
statement. 90% attendance is required to avoid overtime charges.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE:
Leave of absence: An authorized leave of absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student’s
program of study. Leave of absence (LOA) refers to the specific time period during a program when a
student is not in attendance. Leave of absence (LOA) is not required if a student is not in attendance
only for an institutionally scheduled break. However, a scheduled break may occur during a leave of
absence. In the event of extended absence a leave of absence may be granted. Such leaves may be
granted for medical or bereavement reasons.
A leave of absence (LOA) must meet certain conditions to be counted as a temporary interruption in a
student’s education instead of being counted as a withdrawal. In order for a (LOA) to qualify as an
approved (LOA), The School of Hairstyling has established the following policy with regard to leaves of
absence (LOA).
All requests for a leave of absence must be in writing, outlining the specific period of time in which the
student will not participate in any educational activities provided by the School. The request must
include the anticipated start and end date of the leave. The request must be signed and dated by the
student requesting the leave. All leaves must be approved by the director. Failure to gain approval for
an official leave may result in unofficial withdrawal according to the School’s withdrawal and
termination policy. Medical documentation will be required in order to approve a leave.
~ 30 ~
1. Request for such leave must be made no less than two (2) weeks prior to the start day of the
leave and must specify the reason for the requested leave. If the leave is requested due to un
for seen circumstances that would not allow for the advance notice, documentation must be
provided with the request providing verification and advance notice was not possible (i.e: a car
accident recovery time; sudden illness requiring emergency hospitalization)
2. Leave of absence days must not exceed the total 180 days in any 12 month period.
3. The student will not be charged during an approved leave.
4. Contract will be extended by the total number of days of the leave taken. Changes to the
contract period on the enrollment agreement, for short leaves of 30 days or less, must be
initialed and dated by all parties. An addendum contract or enrollment agreement must be
signed and dated by all parties for leaves of longer duration.
5. Students that are granted a leave of absence (LOA) that meets these criteria is not considered to
have withdrawn and no refund calculations will be made.
If the student on leave does not return from such leave at the expiration of an approved LOA (or a
student taking an unapproved leave), the student’s withdrawal date is the date the student began the
leave, and all refund calculations will be determined for that date.
6. Federal financial aid will not be disbursed during a period of leave.
No leaves will be granted in the first phase of training. Students needing extended time off during this
phase will need to withdraw. Withdrawals are subject to the re-enrollment process.
All Students considering a leave should seek advice from the director to determine the impact of such
leave prior to deciding on such.
Students will be required to return to the beginning of the phase in which they were at the time of the
leave and which has not been satisfactorily completed. A Doctor’s release is necessary to return to
normal educational activities at the School.
According to Federal Requirements financial aid will not be disbursed during a period of leave.
A student who fails to return by the scheduled return date will be terminated the day following the
expected return date. If the student subsequently returns, the student will be considered a reenrollment and will start at the beginning of the phase from which they originally withdrew due to nonreturn.
*Note: Student loan recipients who fail to return from a leave of absence are advised that their
withdrawal date will be calculated as the day they began their leave; therefore, their loan grace
period (for repayment purposes) will begin the first day of their leave. This will result in the expiration
of all or part of their grace period requiring repayment to being immediately. For Title IV programs,
the Federal R2T2 refund calculations always apply
If such leave is authorized, and the student was making satisfactory progress in the program before
the leave, the student will be considered making satisfactory progress upon returning to the program.
If the student was not making satisfactory progress when taking the leave, the student would not be
considered as being in satisfactory progress upon their return. If the student is considered to be out of
compliance with satisfactory progress upon their return, they would be required to APPEAL the
“unsatisfactory status” and successfully prevail upon that appeal. They may be placed on probation if
it is determined that they would be able to come back into compliance within that one evaluation
period, by meeting the attendance and academic progress requirements of the course in order to be
returned to satisfactory status within the program.
~ 31 ~
90% attendance of hours offered are required, in order to avoid overtime charges. A grade of no less
than 75% in theory and clinic practice is required to maintain Satisfactory Progress in any and all of
the programs offered.

Cosmetology is a “people” service profession that combines art and science with the artistic and
creative to provide an ultimately rewarding career path.
Because Cosmetology is a service profession, and you need to know if it is the right fit for you, consider
these requirements:
1. You MUST like working with people.
2. You must be interested in them and what they want.
~ 33 ~
3. You’ll need to be able to listen effectively and follow directions, to care about how they look and feel
both before and after their visit with you.
4. You must be willing and able to stand for long periods of time. You need hand and eye coordination
and the ability to work through challenges and make decisions that will best meet your customer’s
needs.
5. You need to be reliable and have work ethics that will allow you to build and retain a clientele.
6. You will be required to maintain a clean, safe and sanitary work environment where your customers
can feel that their personal safety and protection is a major consideration for you.
You must either have or gain a basic knowledge and understanding of chemistry, biology, anatomy,
cleanliness, sanitation, and infection control. You will want and need to know what hair, skin and nails
are made of, how they grow and how you will “chemically alter” their normal condition, have products
and knowledge to then return them to as close as possible to their normal condition, and maintain them
in that optimal state.
Recent surveys completed by PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY ASSOCIATION (PBA) - June 2011 - provides
the following data. Salon Industry Snapshot:

The salon and spa industry is a vibrant and growing component of the U.S.
economy, with more than 900,000 total establishments and annual sales of nearly
$40 billion.

Salon establishments with payroll employees in 2009 were 88,876 with sales in
2009 of $21.2 billion

Non-employer Salon Establishments in 2008 were 824,119 with $18.8 billion in
sales. (*source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau; 2008/2009
figures) (a non-employer establishment is a business entity that has no paid
employees. For data purposes the federal government counts each distinct
business income tax return filed by a non-employer business as an establishment.
As a result, an individual such as an independent contractor could be classified
as a non employer)

The salon and spa industry registered steady growth over the last decade, with
the strongest gains seen in the non-employer sector. The number of nonemployer salon and spa establishments increased 72 percent in the last decade,
while their sales jumped 116 percent. In comparison the number of employmentbased salon and spa establishments increased 11 percent over the last decade,

Department of Education. In order to qualify for financial assistance all applicants must complete a
FREE Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) this application can be completed online at
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov The School’s Federal Code is 016432.

 Comply with Selective Service registration if required
 Have a high school diploma, or a GED equivalent to a high school diploma

~ 36 ~
*Note: Student assistance funds are intended for educational purposes only. All students must meet
the eligibility requirements at all times. Application deadlines may apply.
The types of Federal Financial Aid offered at the School of Hairstyling are:
Federal PELL Grant – a need based grant. Student(s) need is determined by the information provided on
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Award amounts depend on eligibility and program
funding levels. PELL grants are not available to students, who have previously completed a Bachelor’s or
Master’s Degree, nor are all programs considered eligible for PELL Grant participation. Students are
encouraged to apply prior to enrollment and in the case of renewal, on or before April 15th for the 2nd
year.
Federal Direct Student Loan Programs – There are 3 types of Federal Direct Loans that the School of
Hairstyling students can participate in.
Subsidized student loans are need-based loans. The Students need determines the amount of the loan
in this program. The federal government pays the interest on the loan while the student is attending the
School on at least a half-time basis and during the 6 month grace period before repayments begins.
After that time the interest and principle becomes the responsibility of the borrower and payments
begin.
The Unsubsidized student loan programs, unlike the subsidized loan programs, require that the
borrower is responsible for the interest during training and after. Repayment begins 6 months after
separation (graduation or withdrawal) from the program. Students must be enrolled at least half time in
order to qualify for and receive proceeds from Stafford Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) interest
rates are determined annually and are variable.
Students must complete all hours they have been paid for prior to receiving additional disbursements
on any type of financial aid.
PLUS (parent loan for undergraduate students) offers low-interest loans for parents of undergraduate
dependent students. The parent(s) are the borrower and are subject to a credit check. Repayment of
these loans begins 60 days after the loan has been disbursed to the Student/Parent/School.
LOAN ADVISING
Entrance counseling is required before disbursement of any student loan proceeds. Students must be
advised of their rights and responsibilities with regard to loans (and other financial aid funds)
including but not limited to repayment requirements. Sample repayment schedules, repayment
options, and default consequences, are reviewed at the entrance counseling interview.
In addition to entrance advisement, all student loan recipients will also be required to complete exit
advisement. The financial aid advisor will review the repayment requirements, options, and default
consequences as well as discuss debt management strategies and other issues which will assist the
borrower during repayment. Personal contact information will be updated at this time which will be
forwarded to the lender. The School of Hairstyling works with CHAMPION COLLEGE SERVICES, to assist
our students in keeping their loans in good order and avoiding default. Contact information for
CHAMPION COLLEGE SERVICES is available to all students at the exit counseling interview.
Computer/internet access is available by appointment at the School to complete online counseling at
http:// www.studentloans.gov
Additional loan information may be found at
http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2013-2014/index.html
All loans require repayment by the borrower according to the terms of the promissory note.
Repayment options may include deferment and forbearance options. Borrowers should contact their
lender as needed, or after leaving school, CHAMPION COLLEGE SERVICES for assistance with their loans.
~ 37 ~
There is no prepayment penalty for the loan programs. Students are encouraged to contact their lender
to set up timely repayment. Pay more and more frequently to assure rapid repayment of the student
loan.
All students must remain eligible for aid at all times; this includes but is not limited to Satisfactory
Progress Standards. Changes in the student’s status and other eligibility requirements will result in
recalculation of the aid package which may lead to a reduction or loss of awards. In the event the aid
package is reduced or terminated, the student and or all guarantors will be responsible for all financial
obligations to the School. This responsibility is assumed by the student and their guarantors
regardless of the reason for the reduction or loss of eligibility.
An academic year is defined at the School of Hairstyling as being ½ of the program length (1000) hours
and 30 weeks. Students are enrolled for two (2) academic years of 1000 hours and 30weeks each, for
the full cosmetology program. Students will need to reapply for their second academic year by
completing a 2nd year FAFSA application for the new award year.
Instructor training requiring 1000 clock hours is eligible for financial aid; however, the 500 hour
curriculum is not. The manicuring/nail technology curriculum of 400 hours is not eligible for financial aid
Funds are disbursed according to payment periods. Payment periods of 500 clock hours are used for
disbursement of all types of aid. All hours previously completed in the payment period must be
completed before additional disbursements will be made. Failure to reach to appropriate numbers of
hours by the scheduled disbursement day may result in the disbursement being reduced or cancelled.
The School of Hairstyling is not responsible for the reduction or cancellation of aid due to a student’s
failure to submit required application materials, verification information or a failure to maintain
eligibility requirements.
Some student financial aid applicants will be selected for a process called verification. The School of
Hairstyling verifies all applicants selected through the random process as well as others. Disbursement
of aid will be held until the process of verification has been complete. It selected, the student and
parent/guardian if the student is dependent) must submit additional documentation, including but
not limited to Federal Tax returns. A verification form will also be used which can be obtained from a
Financial Services Advisor during regular business hours. Financial Services Advisors monitor for
verification and will provide written notification of the requirement and deadlines to all selected
applicants.
It is illegal to falsify documents in an effort to secure federal or state funds for educational or other
purposes. Intentional misreporting or misrepresentation of information on application forms and/ or
other documents is a violation of the law. Is considered a criminal offense and will subject all parties
involved to penalties under the U.S. Criminal code.
Tampering with grades and or clock in or out of another student and other time clock misuse is
considered a misrepresentation of information and therefore may be considered fraud. In the case of
suspected fraud or other criminal misconduct make a referral to the U.S. Department of Education of
Education’s office of the inspector general
Student aid may be suspended for a number of reasons including but not limited to failure to maintain
eligibility standards, failure to maintain satisfactory progress standards of the School and violations of
other State or Federal requirements. Students who have had their aid suspended will be responsible for
payment of all outstanding charges due the School. Students may also be responsible for overpayments
and/or other funds due to financial aid programs due to eligibility changes.
The contract is a legal binding document and should be explained and understood before it is signed.
All students will receive a signed copy of the enrollment agreement on or before the 1 st day of class.
Credit is not extended to students wishing to purchase additional items. Charges for those items will
be due and payable at the time of purchase.
