Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

The following is the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Evans Hairstyling College:

All students enrolled at Evans Hairstyling College are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress based on the program the student is enrolled in throughout their schooling. The Policy is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students receive a copy prior to enrollment. The policy complies with the guidelines established by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) and the federal regulations established by the United States Department of Education.

Evaluation Periods

Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress at the completion of the following evaluations periods.

*Transfer Students – Evaluation periods will be based on actual contracted hours at this institution.

Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress.

Students will be evaluated within 7 school business days of the conclusion of each evaluation period.

Attendance Progress Evaluation

Students are required to attend a minimum of 70% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance schedule in order to be considered maintaining satisfactory attendance progress. Evaluations are conducted at the end of each evaluation period to determine if the student has met the minimum requirements. The attendance percentage is determined by dividing the total hours accrued by the total number of hours scheduled At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 70% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed. 

Maximum Time Frame

The maximum time (which does not exceed 143% of the course length) allowed for students to complete each course at satisfactory academic progress is stated below.

The institution operates all programs according to the following academic year: 900 Clock Hours to be completed in 28 academic weeks.

The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements will be determined based on 70% of the scheduled contracted hours.

Students who have not completed the course within the maximum time frame will be terminated. Students will be permitted to re-enroll in the program on a cash-pay basis as outlined in the re-enrollment provisions of the institution’s re-entry policy.

Academic Progress Evaluations

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 experience 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 If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. Students will be evaluated in order to ensure students are on track to complete required practical skills needed for graduation. Students must maintain a written average of 75% and pass a FINAL written and practical exam prior to graduation. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale.

Grade Scale

Determination of Progress Status

Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Students will receive a copy of their Satisfactory Academic Progress Determination at the time of each of the evaluations. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress may have their Title IV funding interrupted unless the student is on warning.

Warning

Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during a warning period. The student will be advised in writing on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the warning period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she will be deemed not meeting SAP and may be ineligible to receive Title IV funds.

Re-Establishment of Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students may re-establish satisfactory academic progress and Title IV aid, as applicable, by meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the warning period.

Interruptions, Course Incompletes, & Withdrawals

If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the same progress status as prior to the leave of absence. Hours elapsed during a leave of absence will extend the student’s contract period and maximum time frame by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence and will not be included in the student’s cumulative attendance percentage calculation. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal.

Noncredit, Remedial Courses, Repetitions

Noncredit, remedial courses, and repetitions do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon the school’s satisfactory academic progress standards.

Transfer Hours

With regard to Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student’s transfer hours will be counted as both attempted and earned hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted. SAP evaluation periods are based on Actual contracted hours at the institution.

WITHDRAWAL, TERMINATION, AND LEAVE OF ABSENSE

NOW THEREFORE:  If a student withdraws, drops, or is terminated from school, or is not in physical attendance for 30 days (which is considered a drop), or does not return from leave of absence, the student will be terminated as of the return date of leave, or an unofficial withdrawal that a student is no longer participating in class assignments, examinations, tutorials, computer assisted instruction and participation in academic advisement or other academically-related activities and does not complete their training of 1600 hours.  They will be charged according to the refund scale for tuition unpaid. A student returning from a withdrawal or termination will be brought back as a transfer student.

Leave of absence is for a student to take off a block of time without affecting the students contract time.  Leave of Absence will extend the students contract time a maximum time frame by the same number of days taken in the Leave of Absence.  A leave of absence may be used for medical or other dire circumstances. (Examples: Medical surgery, Death in family where student may assume responsibility of family, Parent surgery where student may assume responsibility, ETC.) Not acceptable would be just to take time off, vacation time, to move away for a time and come back, ETC. 

Leave must be filed in writing in advance unless dire circumstances (accident) and must explain the reason for the needed Leave of Absence, then being signed by requesting student. In the case a Leave of Absence cannot be requested prior to (accident) a request must be collected from the student at a later date, and the school will establish the start date of the approved Leave as the first date the student was unable to attend. No additional cost is added for Leave of Absence. A student granted a Leave of Absence that meets these criteria is not considered to have withdrawn and no refund calculation is required at that time.

The reasonable expectation that a student will return from a leave of absence needs to be a minimum of 4 weeks and no more than 6 months. Except for the case of a positive Covid-19 test. In this case a shortened leave that follows CDC guidelines may be applied from the positive result date and will be approved. A Leave of Absence will not be granted if the Leave of Absence together with any additional Leave of Absences previously granted, exceed a total of 180 calendar days in any 12-month period. 

The student will be withdrawn if the student takes an unapproved Leave of Absence or does not return by the expiration of an approved Leave of Absence and the student’s withdrawal date for the purpose of calculating a refund will be the student’s last date of attendance.

A leave will be a binding agreement in time and add to the anticipated graduation date of student’s contract by the same number of calendar days taken in the Leave of Absence.  
Any student who does not abide with school policies will be given a written warning that the policy has been broken. If it continues, the student will have an interview with Mr. Evans and be advised of the future of their schooling. This could result in a probation, suspension, or termination.
