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 of the practical assignment as a 100%
rating). If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must maintain a written cumulative grade average of 70% prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments.Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:
90 – 100
80 – 89
70 – 79

Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance 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 Academic Progress Determination at the time of each of the evaluations. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Academic 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. Disclaimer: We are not approved for Title IV Funding. -
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the warning 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 if the student has prevailed upon an appeal and if applicable, students may be deemed ineligible to receive Title IV funds.
-
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period will be placed on probation and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the probationary period, if the student appeals 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 on any potential impact on their financial aid eligibility and of the actions required to attain satisfactory academic 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, students will not be deemed eligible to receive Title IV funds. -
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.
-
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 of absence. Hours elapsed during a leave of absence will extend the student’s contract period and maximum time frame 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.
-
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 or mitigating circumstance. The student must submit a written appeal to the school on the designated form describing why they failed to meet satisfactory academic progress standards, along with supporting
documentation of the reasons why the determination should be reversed. 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 appeal, the satisfactory academic progress determination will be reversed and federal financial aid will be reinstated, if applicable. -
Noncredit, remedial courses, and repetitions do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon the school’s satisfactory academic progress standards.
-
With regard to Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student’s transfer hours are evaluated on actual hours. We accept hours at other institutions provided that such are accepted by the State Board of Barbering. Tuition for transfer students is charged by the hour.
-
Students who re-enter will re-enter under the same Satisfactory Academic Progress status as in place at the time the individual left, regardless of how much time has elapsed.

A leave of absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student’s program of study. It does not include non-attendance
for an institutionally scheduled break in a student’s program. A leave of absence must meet certain conditions to be
counted as an LOA instead of being counted as a withdrawal. If a leave of absence does not meet the conditions,
the student is considered withdrawn from the school, and the school will perform a return calculation (see Refund
Policy). Conditions to qualify for a LOA are as follows: medical, family, emergencies. The institution may grant an
LOA to a student who did not provide the request prior to the LOA due to unforeseen circumstances if: The

meets the criteria in this section is not considered to have withdrawn, and no return calculation is required. However, if a
student does not return by his/her scheduled return date of the LOA, the student will be dropped and a withdraw calculation
will be performed using their last day of attendance. The student will be withdrawn if the student takes an unapproved LOA or
does not return by the expiration of an approved LOA, and the student’s withdrawal date for the purposes of calculating arefund will be the student’s last date of attendance. Upon the student’s return from the leave, she/he continues to earn In-
