supporting documentation and the school will document the reason for this decision. If approved, a student may
take up to 90 calendar days but may not exceed 90 calendar days within their enrollment period. Students will not
incur any additional institutional charges as a result of a LOA. An addendum to the student’s contract will be
completed and signed reflecting the extension of the contract period by the same number of days taken in the LOA.

PB Cosmetology Education Centre may grant a LOA to a student who did not provide the request prior to the LOA
due to unforeseen circumstances. The institution will document the reason for its decision. The beginning date of the
approved LOA would be determined by the institution to be the first date the student was unable to attend due to the
unforeseen incident. Documentation will be collected at a later date and maintained in the student file.

A student granted an LOA is not considered to have withdrawn, and no refund calculation is required at this time. If
a student takes an unapproved Leave of Absence they will be withdrawn by the student’s last day of attendance.

Students on financial suspension are ineligible for a LOA. A student may take one Leave of Absence during their
enrollment at PB Cosmetology Education Centre. During a Leave of Absence students who are on a monthly tuition
payment plan with the school must still continue to make their payments. Students returning from a leave of absence
may be required to receive instruction from a different educator, repeat subjects, and purchase replacement kit parts.
Students must notify the school if they wish to extend the LOA to the 60 or 90-day mark before the expiration date
of the original leave. If a student does not return at the expiration of a LOA, the student’s withdrawal date for the
purpose of calculating a refund is always the student’s last day of attendance.

Re-enrollment
Any student re-enrolling in the school will be held to the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy on page 38 of this
catalog. Students re-enrolling will reenter with the same progress to which they left.
The fee to re-enroll is $100.00. In addition, there may be a need to purchase a replacement kit, participate in the
same subject twice, pay for the remaining hours of instruction and students may receive instruction from a different
educator. Students who have withdrawn or have been terminated from the school who would like to re-enter must
complete the NJ State Board of Cosmetology registration procedure. At the time of re-enrollment, the student will be
required to complete an addendum to their enrollment agreement that will reflect their revised graduation date and
current tuition costs. Re-enrolling students have the ability to meet with financial aid to discuss their individual
financial aid resources that may be available to them. There is a maximum of 2 enrollments allowed, one being the
standard and the other a re-enrollment.

Recording of Hours
Students are required to manually sign in/out of class. Students must be present for a verbal roll call at the start and
finish of every class day. Students must also maintain an accurate record of attendance in their classroom folder.

The student assumes full responsibility for the proper recording of their hours and the recording of hours to the New
Jersey State Board of Cosmetology through these methods. No adjustments to student’s hours will be made to
the NJ State Board of Cosmetology due to a student’s failure to sign in or out or due to missing verbal roll.
Failure to sign in or out will result in loss of hours.

No student shall manually sign in/out of class for another student. Classroom hours are to be observed without fail.
Please be prompt. Roll call will be conducted at the start of each class. Roll call will also be conducted at the end of
each class.
