EVALUATION PERIODS

Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress as follows:

Cosmetology ProgramAdvanced Manicuring ProgramManicuring Program375, 750, 1125 (Scheduled) Hours50 (Scheduled) Hours100 (Scheduled) Hours

All evaluations are completed and made available to students no later than 7 school business days from the actual evaluation being ran. Transfer students- midpoint of the contracted hours or the established evaluation periods, whichever comes first. Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for the satisfactory academic progress. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have had at least one evaluation by midpoint of the course. The student will access a copy of their evaluation thereby making them aware of his/her status and that satisfactory progress has been evaluated in a timely manner. 

II. 

ATTENDANCE PROGRESS EVALUATIONS

Students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance scheduled 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 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 80% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course that indicates that. Given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate with the maximum time frame allowed. Students failing to make satisfactory progress will be given a warning and have until the next evaluation period to improve. Students who do not make satisfactory progress by the next evaluation point will be placed on probation and will be given until the next evaluation period to improve. At the next evaluation, if the student has not improved and met satisfactory progress, they will be terminated from the program. 

III

MAXIMUM TIME FRAME

Students who exceed the maximum time frame will be terminated. The maximum time (which does not exceed 150% of the course length) allowed for students to complete each course at satisfactory academic progress is stated below:

All Hours including transfer hours are considered when completing within 150% of the course length.

IV. 

ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATIONS

The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic learning. All students must maintain at least 70% to be satisfactory. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical and written experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical and written assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated at least 70% or better (grades will reflect completion of the practical assignment as a 100% rating). If the performance does not meet the satisfactory requirements, it is not counted, and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skill evaluations will be conducted during the hours of study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. 

To determine academic progress, students are assigned theory study and a minimum number of practical experiences required for course completion. Theory 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. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures, performance standards established by the state licensing agency, and the Practical cosmetologist Skills Competency Evaluation Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:

90-100%80-89%70-79%69% & underABCFEXCELLENTVERY GOODSATISFACTORYFAILING

Students must maintain a written average of 70% and pass a FINAL written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up missed tests and incomplete assignments within 30 days of the missed assignment or they will receive a failing grade. Make up test can only be scored as high as a 70%. Student progress is monitored monthly using the test scores from the chapters covered in that month. Students failing to make satisfactory progress will be given a warning and have until the next evaluation period to improve. At the next evaluation, if the student has not improved and met satisfactory progress, they will be terminated from the program. 

V.

DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS STATUS

Students meeting the minimum requirement for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are considered to be making satisfactory progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Students will receive a hard copy of their Satisfactory Academic Progress Determination at the time of each of the evaluations so that they are aware of howe financial aid may be affected if eligible. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress may have their Title IV funding, if receiving, interrupted, unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in status of probation. 

VI.

WARNING

Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the waiting 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 both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she may be placed on probation and, if applicable, student be deemed ineligible to receive the Title IV funds. 

VII.

PROBATION

Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after and warning period will be placed on probation and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the probationary period, if the student appeals at the decision, and prevails upon appeal. Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. Students placed on an academic plan must be able to meet requirements set forth in the academic plan by the end of the next evaluation period. Students who are progressing according to their specific academic plan will be considered making Satisfactory Academic Progress. The student will be advised in writing of the actions required to attain satisfactory progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the probationary period the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements required for satisfactory academic progress or by the academic plan, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory academic progress and, if applicable, will not be deemed eligible to receive title IV funds. 

VIII. 

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Students may re-establish satisfactory academic progress and Title IV aid, as applicable, by meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the warning or probationary period. 

IX.

INTERRUPTIONS, COURSE INCOMPLETES, WITHDRAWALS

Students who withdrawal prior to completion of the course (i.e., course incomplete), and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal.
