Academic Progress:

The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by
assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical
experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as
completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. The software will report
completion of the practical assignment. Practical assignments are assessed using rubrics. Students must maintain a
70% academic average (combined written and practical). Numerical grades are considered according to the
following scale:

Points Status
90-100 EXCELLENT
80-89 GOOD
70-79 SATISFACTORY
69 and Below UNSATISFACTORY

School Library

The school library provides faculty and students with supplementary materials for academic growth and
advancement of skills. The educator may survey the class and make the recommendations as to informative
periodicals, videotapes, dvds, books, etc. that are available to students during class time from the school library.

State Board Preparation

Students are required to participate in written and practical State Board Preparation Classes. During their senior
level of training full-time senior Cosmetology students are rotated off the clinic floor in groups to participate in
these special State Board Preparation Workshops. Instruction is given in both theoretical and practical subjects. Part-
time Cosmetology, Aesthetics, Barbering and Manicuring students have state board prep as part of their regular class
schedule.

ORIENTATION

All students are required to participate in two orientation sessions while enrolled in their course at PB Cosmetology
Education Centre. The Junior Student Orientation is held on an evening prior to the class starting date. Enrollment
contracts, financial aid entrance interview counseling, catalogue review, and school rules and regulations are
conducted during the Junior Orientation session. The Senior Student Orientation is held prior to students entering
the senior level of training. Senior permits, clinic policies and procedures, and station assignments are discussed.
Orientations are mandatory for participation in the training programs. It is the responsibility of the student to
reschedule orientation if they are absent for the regularly scheduled orientation.

ASSESSMENT/CLASSWORK

Advisement

Student advisement is conducted monthly by the student’s Educator when progress reports are issued or on an as
needed basis. The purpose of student advisement is to provide students with academic, attendance and career
guidance. When attendance rates or academic averages fall below 70% but the student is not at a formal satisfactory
progress checkpoint, the school will provide advisement on an as needed basis.
