Policy.

Class Scheduling
Day classes consist of seven hours from 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. The seven-hour day consists of six hours of
instructional training with a sixty-minute lunch break. Evening classes are scheduled in a single period from
5:30p.m. to 9:30p.m. Each student is assigned to a specific group. Students are expected to attend only the specific
class posted on the schedule for their group. If the student is not in their scheduled class, the student will be marked
absent. Teachers are rotated at the junior and senior level so that students have the opportunity to adapt to new
situations and experience the educators’ strengths and differences.

Attendance Policy
Punctual and regular attendance is an essential responsibility of each student at PB Cosmetology Education Centre.
Students must attend at a 90% rate or better. Students will receive monthly progress reports detailing their
attendance percentages, actual hours, scheduled hours, and makeup hours. Each student is given allowable time to
use which is 10% of the course they are enrolled in. The hours will be divided up by junior and senior level.
Cosmetology 60 hours junior level – remainder in the senior level, all hours not used during the junior level will roll
over to the senior level. Skin Care students are granted 30 hours in the junior level & the remainder in senior level.
If a student exceeds the allowable amount of hours in their junior level, their enrollment is subject to termination and
they must wait 180 days from their last day attended to request a re-enrollment.

Overtime Charges
Upon enrollment students contract for a specified course and training hours: (Cosmetology 1200 hours, Barbering
900 hours, Skin Care 600 hours, Teachers 500 hours, and Nails 300 hours).

The School provides each student with an allowable non-chargeable absence factor equal to 10% of their contracted
course length. Therefore, a 1200-hour Cosmetology student is entitled to 120 hours of non-chargeable absences, a
900-hour Barber student is entitled to 90 hours of non-chargeable absences, a 600-hour Skin Care student is entitled
to 60 hours of non-chargeable absences, a 500 hour Teachers student is entitled to 50 hours, and a 300 hour Nails
student is entitled to 30 hours of non-chargeable absences.

If the student exceeds the 10% absence factor as of the scheduled hour mark the student will be charged at
the current hourly tuition rate (for that program) for every training hour beyond the allowable absence
factor thereafter. Hours in excess of the 10% allowable non-chargeable absence factor are known as overtime
hours. Overtime hours should be made up prior to the student’s scheduled completion date. Overtime hours which
have not been made up by the scheduled 1200, 900,600, 500, or 300-hour mark will be charged to the student’s
tuition account.

Overtime charges become due as of the student’s scheduled 1200,900, 600, 500, or 300-hour mark. The school
reserves the right to prohibit student participation until overtime charges have been paid.
