SATISFACTORY PROGRESS POLICY
Each student’s progress is periodically reviewed by both written and
practical examinations scored on the following grading system.
EXCELLENT (A) 90–100% VERY GOOD (B)
85-89% GOOD (C) 70-84%
PASSING (D) 75-78% FAILING
Below 74%
Satisfactory
progress is measured by maintaining a 75% cumulative grade point average
while completing the prescribed theory and practical assignments within
the attendance standards specified.
This means that a student should complete the 1200 clock hour course
within the normal time frame given for each schedule. A student who does
not complete the course within the normal time frame, has until the
maximum time frame to complete the course or financial aid will be
terminated. For example, a student enrolled in the 30 clock hour week
12
schedule should
complete the 1200 hour course within the normal time frame of 40 weeks.
If that student does not complete the course in 40 weeks, that student
has until week 60 (equivalent of 1800 scheduled hours) to complete the
1200 physical hours of attendance required for completion.
NOTE: The maximum
time frame is extended by any approved leave of absence.
Progress evaluations will take place for each course at the following
intervals throughout the program:
Cosmetology/Hairstyling 300 Scheduled Hours
Skin Care 300 Scheduled

the maximum time frame.
POLICY ON RE-ESTABLISHING
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
If a student is not making S. A. P., they will be placed
on probation. A student on probation will be considered satisfactory and
will continue to receive Financial Aid. The length of the probationary
period is determined by the School Administrator and/or Chief Academic
Officer, who will allow sufficient time for the student to reestablish
themselves by either attendance in make-up classes, or through
re-testing, but will not exceed the next
13
scheduled marking period. However, the student must meet both attendance
and academic progress in at least one marking period at the mid point of
their program to continue the course and/or receive Financial Aid (if
applicable). Students not meeting the policy will be considered
unsatisfactory. Additionally, the decision to allow the student to
continue the program who, after being marked as unsatisfactory, will
depend on the student’s:
A.
Mitigating circumstances leading to the failure. Mitigating
circumstances taken into consideration may include, but are not limited
to:
1.
Economic Hardship
2.
Child Care
3.
Transportation
4.
Health Reasons
5.
Death or Illness of a Family Member
6.
Housing/Shelter
7.
Marital Problems
B. The
potential of the student to benefit from the training.
C. The
students ability to meet the monetary obligations due to the school.
NOTE: The school
will not allow a Cosmetology or Skin Care Student to continue the
program if they have received more than 2 consecutive probations, with a
maximum of 3 (2 for Manicuring, Skin Care, Teacher Training), throughout
the maximum time of their program.
STUDENTS RIGHT TO APPEAL
UNSATISFACTORY DETERMINATION
A student who has been determined
not to be meeting the satisfactory progress policy may appeal such
decision to the School Administrator or Chief Academic Officer who will
review the student’s case with the student and faculty members. If
through this appeal process evidence is shown that the school has made
an error in hours recorded or missing grade points or due to the
student’s mitigating circumstances that they may be considered as
satisfactory, an individual judgement to continue
14
financial aid will
be made, and the decision to mark the student satisfactory will be
recorded in the student’s file.
ENROLLING AFTER TERMINATION
OR WITHDRAWEL
If a student discontinues training and
returns to the school within a period of 60 days, the student would be
allowed to complete the program on the basis of his/her original
enrollment agreement. If a student is discontinued due to unsatisfactory
progress, and seeks re-admittance due to change in personal
circumstances or seeks to return after discontinuing for more than 60
days, the student must re-enroll. Upon re-admittance, financial aid may
be resumed if qualified to do so.
NOTE: Course incompletes, repetitions and
non-credit remedial courses do not have effect upon the satisfactory
policy standards.
ABSENCES, TARDINESS AND MAKE-UP
Upon the day of entrance, every student is
informed of the schedule of class he must follow and is, therefore,
obligated to meet this schedule. If, for some reason during the training
period, the student’s job or transportation has been altered and will
not permit the student to comply with the attendance policy, the student
is obligated to notify the office and change his/her schedule.
Students are considered late if they arrive
more than 10 minutes after class has begun. They must wait for the next
hour before they enter that session. Morning session hours are from 9:30

The programs
listed above are based on the student’s need for financial assistance.
Applications are available at the school upon request. The Financial Aid
Administrator will explain the procedures of filing these forms.
Students applying
for financial aid must first complete an application for Federal Student
Aid (Pell Grant). This is the basis upon which other financial aid is
determined. The calculation of the Pell Grant is performed by the
Federal Government and the student receives a Student Aid Report (SAR).
The report combined with a needs analysis performed by our Financial Aid
Department will indicate the amount of Grant and/or loan that may be
required to meet the cost of tuition, fees and living expenses.
The applicant
will be required to list family income as well as the dates the student
lived with parents as to determine whether the student is dependent or
independent.
TRANSPORTATION/COMMUTING INFORMATION
ROBERT FIANCE conducted a survey of its
student body, and has determined that the average
transportation/commuting cost for a student attending our school is
approximately $87.00 per month.

STUDENT RECORDS
All students and the parents of minor
students are guaranteed access to the student’s cumulative records for
review. Supervision and interpretation of the records is provided during
the review.
Requests for a review must be made in
writing and in the case of a minor student, the parent’s written request
must be addressed to the school’s Administrative Staff. It is the policy
of this Institution to release information regarding a student only with
the written consent from the student to release such information, except
where a legal exemption exists. ROBERT FIANCE will also allow upon
request, access to NACCAS and government agencies. All files are kept
for 5 years.
STUDENT ADVISING
ROBERT FIANCE will gladly provide advice
and welcome the opportunity to discuss problems concerning personnel,
academic or financial matters. Students are encouraged to contact any
member of the Administrative Staff regarding any problems that may have
a bearing on the student’s training while in school or success
thereafter.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
ROBERT FIANCE maintains a placement
assistance service for all graduates. There is no charge for this
service. It is understood, however, that the school can not promise or
guarantee employment. Most graduates enter into employment as beginner
operators at a modest wage and than go onto become full operators or
specialists in some phase of the beauty culture field. Future earnings
depend on the operator’s ambition, ability, reliability, work attitude
and interest in pleasing clients. Reignbow has on file a listing of
positions available. The school maintains a record of job placement,
which is available for inspection.
DIPLOMA OF COMPLETION/TRANSCRIPT
A diploma/hours of completion is awarded
to every student who successfully completes the program (inclusive of
make-up hours), (completes all written/practical evaluations) and who
have met their monetary obligations in accordance with their enrollment
agreement.
An academic transcript will be provided
upon request at no additional charge.
19
Upon completion, the graduate also
receives an application to obtain a temporary license to enter
employment as well as scheduling for the New Jersey State Board
Examination. The graduate must subsequently pass the State Board
Examination in order to be licensed by the state. ROBERT FIANCE will
provide additional assistance without charge to graduates (within 1
year) that require further preparation for the State Board
Examination.
