RULES AND REGULATIONS

Phone/Text Messaging
Under no circumstances are cell phones permitted to ring during school hours. Please keep phones on silent/vibrate
mode. Students may check their messages and use their phone during lunchtime/night break and before or after
school. Students will be permitted to take the classroom pass in order to use their cell phone or check their
messages. Students are asked to use their phone in the student lounge only. Students will not be permitted to leave
the building to use their phone. Anyone who violates this policy will be sent home for the day, therefore losing
training hours. In addition, students are not permitted to receive or make phone calls from the business line except
for emergency cases.

Substance Use on School Grounds
Being under the influence of any substances while attending school is prohibited due to a combination of factors
related to safety, professionalism and successful training. Cosmetology and Skin Care requires the use of many
chemicals, hot tools, razors and scissors. Impaired judgement can delay reaction time and coordination that could
potentially cause injury to oneself, fellow students and clients. PB Cosmetology has zero tolerance when it comes to
the health and safety of its students, faculty and clients and will not tolerate this on school grounds. If the school has
reasonable belief that a student is currently under the influence of any controlled substance they will be sent home
immediately. Any repeat offenses will follow our Career Training Preparation Standards flow chart.

Students are required to have a student pass if they are leaving class any other time than a scheduled break or
lunchtime. Students are not permitted to leave the building even with a student pass.

Disciplinary Action
Students may be disciplined by their educator or an administrator for lack of motivation, poor attitude, general
disregard for policies and procedures, failure to complete class work and assignments, and failure to service clinic
customers. Students that are disciplined will have written documentation placed in their school file. At the discretion
of the School Director, students will be suspended or terminated. Please see “Professional Policy” in this student
catalog.

Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying
PB Cosmetology Education Centre prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying. A safe and civil
environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. “Harassment,
intimidation, or bullying” means any gesture, written, verbal, or physical act, or electronic communication that takes
place on school property or at any school sponsored function and that the act(s) will have the effect of harming a
student or damaging the student’s property, or placing the student in reasonable fear of harm to his/her person or
damage his/her property; or has the effect of insulting or demeaning any student in such a way to cause substantial
disruption with the orderly operation of the school.

The policy will impose consequences for acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying that occur off school grounds,
such as cyber-bullying, at the discretion of the School Director. The consequences only may be exercised when it is
reasonably necessary for the student’s physical or emotional safety or for reasons relating to the safety and well-
being of other students, staff, or school property.

Policies and Sanctions related to Copyright Infringement
PB Cosmetology prohibits copyright infringement. Published educational materials are copyrighted. US Copyright
Law states that “it is illegal to make or distribute copies of copyrighted material without the authorization of the
publisher. “The School will take disciplinary action against any student who distributes unauthorized copyrighted
