Students are to inform the administrative staff of any unex-pected absences. If a student must leave the school during a regularly scheduled day of attendance, the administrative staff should be notified on a timely basis as to the reason and length of time the student will be absent.
If a student does not attend classes for 2 weeks, the student will be dropped. Leave of absences are available. Each stu-dent enrolled in Cosmetology should attend classes on Satur-days. Saturday attendance is necessary to complete the pro-ject requirements.
Tardiness is a disruption to classes; therefore, each student will be allowed to clock in 15 minutes after their scheduled begin-ning hour. If they are not able to clock in during the 15 minute grace period the student must clock in one hour past their scheduled times.

All hours are accepted providing that the student can complete the course within a three (3) year time frame.

Job opportunities are posted on our bulletin board for stu-dents to review.

The course also provides methods for retaining employment, in-creasing and maintaining clientele, the elements of a team play-er and self-employment options. At the time of completion an exit interview determines the nature and extent of help required. If the student needs assis-tance (The majority of our grads have jobs prior to completion) current positions available are discussed and a contact list is created. The student is reminded that they must give the school written permission for EACH prospective employer by com-pleting a written and signed Authorization to Release Infor-mation form. This authorization must state what type of infor-mation can be released. Example: grades, attendance record, etc. The graduate is encouraged to update the resume they cre-ated while in class and to contact us when they accept a job.

22
What about a leave of absence? In the event a student finds it necessary to be absent from school for an extended period of time, he/she may request an official leave of absence from the institution.
The leave of absence must be submitted in writing using the insti-tutions Leave of Absence form in advance.
* When advance notification is not possible due to unfore-seen circumstances, such as a car accident and the student is injured and needs recovery time, the school will document the reason for not obtaining the advance notice. The school will obtain the request form at a later date. * The beginning date of the leave would be determined to be the first date the student was unable to attend the institution due to the accident. The leave must include the reason for the student’s request for a
leave. The student must sign the request form. The school will not asses the student any additional charges as a
result of the leave of absence. The leave of absence together with any additional leaves of ab-
sence must not exceed a total of 180 days in a 12-month period. A student granted a leave of absence is not considered to have
withdrawn, and no refund calculation is required at that time. If the student requesting a leave has a student loan, the exit inter-
view must be completed providing it has not been completed be-forehand.
The institution will extend the student’s contract period by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence. Those chang-es to the enrollment agreement are initialed by all parties.
Should a student not return for a formal leave of absence, the withdrawal date for the purpose of calculating a refund is always the student’s last date of physical attendance.
The student must remove all personal items from the school dur-ing a leave of absence. The school assumes no responsibility for these items.
23
What about student records?
Students’ Rights Vincennes Beauty College adheres to the privacy policy as stated in the Federal Law: Fami-
ly Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA gives parents or guardians of de-pendant minors certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school be-yond the high school level.
Students, Parents or Guardians of dependant minors have the right to inspect and review the student’s education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for students, parents, or guardians of dependent minors to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.
Students, Parents or Guardians of dependant minors have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the students, parents, or guardians of dependent minors then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the rec-ord, the students, parents, or guardians of dependent minors has the right to place a state-ment with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.
Generally, schools must have written permission from the students, parents or guardians of dependant minors in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the follow-ing parties or under the following conditions: School officials with legitimate educational interest; Other schools to which a student is transferring; Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; Or-ganizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; Accrediting organiza-tions; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and State and local authorities, within a juvenile jus-tice system, pursuant to specific State law.
This institution does not disclose “directory” information such as a student’s name, etc.
Clock Hour’s All students receive credit for all clock hours attended. Hours are not deducted for any rea-
son, nor are additional hours assigned. Cumulative totals reflect actual hours and minutes of attendance achieved.
A record of hours of attendance for each student is kept by a computerized time clock and recorded in networked computers. Reports are available for student review and accumula-tive hours are posted weekly . It is the responsibility of each student to review time reports. Any discrepancies should be reported immediately.
A passing grade of 80% is required on all regular theory and practical exams. An 80% is necessary to pass the final writ-ten exam. The cosmetology final written exam is taken after the student as achieved 1350 clock hours. The instructor training final written exam is taken after 900 clock hours.
Passing grades on all theory exams are required prior to tak-ing the final written exam. Exam re-takes are scheduled weekly. All special assignments, such as written reports or special assignments are to be completed within stated time frames in order to take theory exams.
Student evaluation and advising is done on an ongoing basis. Progress reports are issued and reviewed with an advisor at 450, 900, & 1200 hours. The 200, 800 and 1400 hour practi-cal exams are scheduled according to the amount of accumu-lated clock hours.
To maintain academic satisfactory progress, the student must achieve an accumulative average of 80%(C).
Theory and practical grades are issued using the following scale:
90 to 100 = A 85 to 89 = B 80 to 84 = C 75 to 79 = D 74 or below = F
24
What is the grading policy?
It is our objective to assist students in seeking a high level of perfec-tion and distinction. To achieve success in any career, one must strive for professional attitudes, actions and appearance. Therefore, we ex-pect a certain level of conduct from our students. Examples of proper conduct are: * Wearing proper uniforms with name badge at all times * Using proper language * Refraining from eating, drinking, smoking or chewing gum while in the classroom or while practicing the school course in the clinic area. * Refraining from performing cosmetology services on one’s own self while on the school premises. * Sharing sanitation duties or task *Following sanitary rules *Being respectful to fellow students, instructors and clients. The best way to begin a successful career is to act like you are already
a professional!!!!!! SUSPENSION: Following inappropriate behavior, if advising is inef-fective, a student may be suspended for: Failure to pay tuition as stated on the enrollment contract, refusing to perform client services, not fol-lowing an instructors direction, and/or engaging in misconduct activi-ties cited in the student/employee conduct code. DISMISSAL: After advising appears to be ineffective, a student may be dismissed for unprofessional conduct, improper sanitary practices, poor personal hygiene, failure to pay tuition as stated on the enrollment contract, and /or continuing to engage in misconduct activities cited in the student/employee conduct code.
25
What are the standards for conduct?
Students may receive personal services such as haircuts, styling, perms, etc. by requesting permission from the clinic instructor and completing a student service ticket. Advance payment is required if any special products are used during the service. The transaction is to be recorded on the student service ticket and initialed by an instructor. Failure to pay for special products used during the ser-vice is considered theft.
