Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body encourage students to maintain high standards for attendance and academics to complete the program and achieve a career in the industry Students are encouraged to strive for 100% in attendance and academic performance However, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body recognizes students need a school-life balance by setting minimum levels of attendance and academic performance in compliance with the Department of Education (DOE) and the NACCAS. The policy is set forth in this school catalog to ensure all students receive a copy prior to enrollment. This Satisfactory Academic Policy is consistently applied amongst all students throughout their program, whether they receive financial aid or not.
Attendance Progress Evaluation: All students must maintain at least a 75% cumulative attendance average of scheduled hours in order to be considered making SAP The attendance percentage is determined by dividing a student’s total actual clocked hours by the total number of scheduled hours
Academic Progress Evaluation: All students must maintain at least a 75% cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) in theory and practical/clinic work. Grades will be determined by averaging all the weekly theory grades, all the practical/clinic grades for the period; these two averages will then be averaged together to determine your cumulative GPA. Theory and practical/clinic work will be graded according to the following scale:
91% - 100% Excellent
81% - 90% Very Good
75% - 80% Passing
Below 74% Failing/Unsatisfactory
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body, being based on clock hours, does not have individual classes (students are not able to withdraw from individual classes); does not award grades of “incomplete”; the above grading scale is used for all assignments. Therefore, a student taking a failing/unsatisfactory grade on an individual assignment (practical floor sheet, project, test, etc.) will only affect the student’s GPA not the student’s attendance average All programs offered at Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body are conducted year-round without breaks between Academic Years (Cosmetology Program only) Therefore, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body does not have a specific summer program

For the purposes of meeting federal and accreditation standards, each student’s attendance and academic performance is evaluated at the required checkpoints related to their program as outlined in the Evaluations Periods policy Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are considered to be making SAP until the next scheduled evaluation Upon completion of the evaluation, students will be given a written copy of their evaluation, and the original will be stored in the student’s file At that time, the students will acknowledge receipt of a copy of the SAP Report which indicates their performance evaluation results The students will be notified of all evaluation results
The SAP evaluations apply to all students, whether they receive financial aid or not. For students who do receive financial aid however, failure to meet the minimum standards of the SAP Policy may delay or terminate eligibility Title IV, HEA programs funds (if applicable) unless the student is on Warning or has prevailed upon appeal of the determination that has resulted in the status of Probation
If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence (LOA), the student will return to school in the same progress status as prior to the LOA When a student takes a LOA, the student’s contract period and maximum time frame is extended by the same number of days taken in the LOA and will not be included in the student’s cumulative attendance percentage calculation
Warning Period: Upon failing to meet the minimum of 75% in attendance and/or academic performance, a student will be placed on “Warning” until the next SAP evaluation checkpoint A student on Warning is eligible to receive Title IV funds The student will receive an academic plan providing corrective actions to achieve the minimum of 75% in attendance and/or academic performance by the end of the Warning period
Probationary Period: If a student has failed to meet 75% in attendance and/or academic performance by the end of the Warning period the student’s enrollment is immediately suspended If it is determined that the student is capable of meeting the SAP standards by the next evaluation period, the student may submit an appeal in an effort to remain enrolled as a student at Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body The written appeal must be received within five (5) school days of receiving the report and clearly describes the circumstances that affected the student’s academic and/or attendance performance since the last evaluation period.
If the student prevails upon appeal, the student may remain in school on Probation and be eligible to receive Title IV funds The results of the appeal will be printed and stored in the student’s file Additionally, the student will receive an academic plan providing corrective actions to achieve the minimum of 75% in attendance and/or academic performance by their next SAP evaluation period, or the maximum time frame established for the individual student within the academic plan If at the end of Probation, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements by not following through with the academic plan, the student will be determined not making SAP This status requires the student’s financial aid to be terminated and the student may be administratively withdrawn due to non-compliance with the SAP policy Re-entry on a cash pay basis will be at the discretion of the School Director, refer to the Re-entry Policy for additional information.
If no appeal was received or the appeal did not prevail, the student will not be eligible to receive Title IV funds, HEA program funds (if applicable) and the student will be administratively withdrawn Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same SAP status as at the time of withdrawal
Students may only file one appeal under the SAP Policy
If at any SAP evaluation checkpoint, it is determined that the student will be unable to complete the program within the maximum time frame of 133%, the student may be administratively withdrawn from Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body and their eligibility for Title IV funds will be terminated.
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body retains the discretion to administratively withdraw an enrolled student.
A student may appeal by stating, in writing, their explanation and/or concern regarding their attendance/academic performance and submitting it to the School Director within five (5) days of the report Reasons for an appeal may include a death in the family, a minor injury or illness of the student, or any other allowable special or mitigating circumstance. The student must submit with the appeal any documentation related to the circumstance, for example; a doctor’s note, hospital record, obituary, police report etc. The appeal should also include what has changed about the student’s situation that will allow them to achieve SAP by the next evaluation point The School Director will review the appeal and meet with the student The School Director will rule on the appeal after the meeting and notify the student and instructional staff in writing regarding this ruling within five (5) days All appeal information (written appeal, meeting notes, appeal ruling, etc ) will be documented and kept in the student’s academic file All appeal determinations are final During the appeal procedure, students are not allowed to clock in while writing the appeal or during the determination of the appeal, not to exceed 14 calendar days
Students not maintaining SAP may re-establish SAP and/or financial aid eligibility during their next evaluation period by achieving the minimum cumulative attendance and/or academic standards required for SAP Academic plans are provided to students which outline the steps necessary to achieve SAP by their next evaluation period
Upon returning to school after being absent, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructional staff to determine what assignments, subject areas, notes and/or tests were given during the student’s period of absence. All efforts will be made by the instructional staff to help the student attain the current status and progress level expected.
Attendance: It is each individual student’s responsibility to make up hours as needed in order to stay on track with their scheduled program Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body allows students to make up hours by attending outside their scheduled program Once a student has completed Basic Training (Cosmetology, 300 hours; Skin Esthetics, 120 hours; Massage Therapy, 375 hours; Nail Technology, 70 hours), they will have the ability to come in an hour early to clock a maximum of eight hours per day Exceptions may be made at the discretion of Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body while a student is in the Basic Training portion of their program. In addition, Cosmetology, Massage Therapy, Skin Esthetics and Nail Technology students may attend Saturdays (when available per campus) once they have been on the clinic floor for a minimum of two weeks and have clocked at least 370 hours, 190 hours and 150 hours respectively. Massage Therapy students are allowed to attend Saturdays at the discretion of Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body. If a student feels they need to retake any portion of the program, such as Basic Training, the repeated hours will not be counted toward the completion of their current evaluation period, therefore future financial aid disbursements will be delayed Students may not exceed 100% cumulative attendance within their program before entering their final evaluation period (see Evaluation Periods below)
Academics: Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body does not allow students to retake (change a grade) any assignment or test for the purpose of improving their qualitative SAP review
Withdrawal/Drop: Due to differences in hour requirements and start dates of the programs Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body offers, students are not allowed to transfer out of one program and into another The only way a student may “change” programs is to withdraw from their current program and apply for admission to the desired program (acceptance based on start date & space availability) For additional information, see Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body Withdrawal and Return to Title IV Policies
Graduate: If a prior graduate of Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body is wanting to pursue a second program offered at Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body, they may do so once they have successfully completed their current program (i e , programs may not be taken concurrently) Due to differences in hours and graduation requirements set forth by the ND State Board of Cosmetology for individual programs, the student would enroll and begin the program just as any other student
In either event, a student’s SAP from their original program does not affect the student’s SAP status in the new program
Title IV financial aid will be reinstated to students who have:
1 2 3.
Prevailed upon an appeal, Re-established SAP status, or Returned to school after an interruption of training that commenced at the time the student was not making SAP and has now re-established SAP requirements
The SAP report will reflect a student’s progress status on scheduled financial aid disbursement dates to establish if and when re- established satisfactory status occurred. When SAP (SAP) status has been reestablished, the Financial Aid Director will proceed with the disbursement of scheduled financial aid and/or advise the student of financial aid eligibility and if applicable, the financial aid application procedures necessary to obtain financial aid.
An authorized leave of absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student’s program of study LOA refers to the specific time period during a program when a student is not in attendance A LOA refers to the specific period during a program when a student is not in attendance A LOA is not required if a student is not in attendance only for an institutionally scheduled break. However, a scheduled break may occur during an LOA.
A LOA must meet certain conditions to be counted as a temporary interruption in a student’s education instead of being counted as a withdrawal requiring Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body to perform a refund calculation
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body may grant a LOA to an enrolled student in satisfactory standing who has extenuating circumstances requiring a temporary interruption in their attendance (such as childbirth, personal illness or disabling accident, or death in the immediate family), with a reasonable expectation for the student to return from the LOA. The LOA may not be taken intermittently. A student will not be granted a LOA if the LOA, together with any additional LOA’s previously granted, exceeds the maximum totals per program listed below:
Cosmetology: 62 calendar days in any 12-month period
Skin Esthetics & Cosmetology Instructor: 31 calendar days in any 12-month period
Massage Therapy & Nail Technology: Not Eligible for a LOA
Weekends and holidays are calculated in the total length of the LOA
Procedure Requirements: The student must submit in writing request for a LOA to School Administration, stating the reasons for the request, the effective date, the return to school date (this date can be revised, not to exceed max calendar days listed per program) and the student’s signature.
If applicable, the request must be accompanied by a letter from a certifying professional (physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner) unless extenuating circumstances apply The letter must be on official letterhead and must include the diagnosis, the limitations it imposes on the student and a reasonable estimation of the recovery time Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body reserves the right to verify qualification of the certifying professional
If unforeseen circumstances prevent a student from providing a written request, the school may grant the student’s request for a LOA and collect the written request within 14 calendar days from the last day of attendance. In this instance, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body will document the LOA as approved and collect the request from the student at a later date. Calculation for the return date is based on the amount taken during the leave, for example, the beginning date of the approved LOA would be determined to be the first day the student was unable to attend school because of the circumstance If the last day of attendance is a Friday, the LOA’s start date will be calculated using the next scheduled class day (i e , Monday)
Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body is required to take attendance, if all of the above documentation is not received within 14 calendar days from the student’s last day of attendance, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body will administratively withdraw the student as of their last day of attendance
The student must also contact the Financial Aid Director unless unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from doing so. The student’s financial aid will be put on hold until they return to school and will not be considered to be withdrawn so a Title IV financial aid or an institution refund calculation is not required at this time. A LOA will not affect the 133% maximum completion time for Title IV financial aid funding. An approved LOA does not involve additional charges by Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body.
The Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body LOA Review Committee (consisting of the School Director and other appointed Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body officials) will notify the student with the LOA Form of its decision A student placed on a LOA is not eligible to participate in school related events/services onsite and offsite
The student’s contract with an amended completion date will be placed in the student’s file for signatures upon their return. Student’s contract period and maximum time frame is extended by the same number of days taken in the LOA. An addendum to the original contract indicating changes to the contract period will be signed and dated by all parties No additional charges will result with an approved LOA
If the student knows when they will be back to school from an LOA but it is not the date that was put on the LOA form, they must put in writing the change to School Administration The student may return earlier than the expected return date but no later It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of their return date If the student does not return by the expiration of an approved LOA, or chooses to not continue the course, the student will be required to withdraw or be terminated by following Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body’s Policy Once withdrawal or termination notification is given, the Title IV refund calculation will be processed according to the last day of attendance. Failure to return may affect their loan repayment terms, including the exhaustion of some or all of the student’s grace period.
Students returning from a LOA or other official interruption of training must return to school with the same SAP they had prior to their departure
