Cosmetology Course Format:

The course is a combination of lecture, demonstration, and student participation and practice. Student practice will
include experiences both on mannequins and clients. Audio visual aids and guest artists will supplement regular
instruction. Students will be provided the opportunity to participate in field trips and other extracurricular activities.

Upon completion of the basic course in cosmetology, the student should have acquired all the skills necessary to
work in a beauty salon. He/she has mastered the skills required to treat the hair, nails, and skin.

Evaluation:

All students will be administered regular written “theory” and practical examinations. Junior students will be graded
on mannequin assignments and workbook assignments as they are completed. Senior students will be required to
complete a minimum number of practical assignments daily including services performed on clients in the senior
clinic. Written and practical examinations will be weighted equally. A minimum score of seventy percent (70%) is
required as a passing score on all examinations.

Cosmetology Attendance:

All students are expected to attend class regularly and to pursue the instruction diligently. Students who must be
absent from class are required to notify their educator, as would be expected by an employer. Students are issued
one late pass per month of enrollment. Full-time day students are allowed to enter class with a late pass up until
10:00 am. Part-time evening students are allowed to enter class with a late pass up until 6:00pm. Students will not be
permitted into class after these times or without a proper late pass. See the requirements for “Late Entry” and
“Satisfactory Progress” in this Student Catalog.
