Early Dismissal

In order to keep classroom disruptions to a minimum, day school students requiring early dismissal must sign out at
the lunch break. There is no early dismissal for evening school students. Students choosing to leave after their lunch
break or before 9:30p.m. will be subjected to disciplinary action and documentation will be collected for their
student file. Three violations of this policy will result in a three day/night suspension.

Absences

All absenteeism must be accounted for and reported by way of written notice or telephone to your instructor.
Students are given allowed absences equal to 10% of their course length (120 hours of absences allowed for
cosmetology students, 30 hours of absences allowed for nail design students, 60 hours of absences for skin care and
90 hours for barbering students.) Transfer students are given an absentee allowance of 10% of the hours for which
they have enrolled.

Student attendance/absenteeism is monitored on a daily basis and may result in the student failing to meet
satisfactory progress requirements. There are no excused absences in a clock hour program regardless of
documentation such as hospital records, doctor’s notices, death certificates, etc. Please do not submit this
documentation to your educator. Absences must be made up prior to the student’s scheduled 1200, 900, 600,
OR 300-hourmark (according to program) so as not to incur overtime charges. Please see Overtime Charges in
this catalog. Students with personal problems/health issues that may impact their attendance may consider taking a
Leave of Absence. Please see Leave of Absence in this catalog.

addition to their regular schedule (i.e. 30 hours per week for full time students, 16 hours per week for part time
students). A full-time student may attend up to 36 hours per week, part time students up to 22 hours per week for the
purpose of making up absent hours. Make-up days vary according to the school calendar. Students are informed on
an “as needed basis” of the make-up schedule.
