SIERRA COLLEGE OF BEAUTY “SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is consistently applied to all students enrolled at the school. It 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. Students are provided with a copy of their progress report during the first week of every month. EVALUATION PERIODS Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress at the following points in time as follows: Cosmetology 450, 900, 1350 actual clock hours attended Barbering 450, 900, 1350 actual clock hours attended Esthetics 300, 600 actual clock hours attended Manicuring 200, 400 actual clock hours attended *Students will receive a copy of their SAP progress report at the time of each Satisfactory Academic Progress determination point. *Transfer Students will be evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress at the midpoint of the contracted hours or the established evaluation periods, whichever comes first. Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have had at least one evaluation by midpoint in the course. ATTENDANCE PROGRESS EVALUATIONS 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 of actual attendance 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, thus ensuring that, given the same attendance rate, the student is on schedule to 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: COURSE MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED (143%) WEEKS SCHEDULED HOURS Cosmetology (Full time, 40 hrs/wk) - 1600 Hours 52 Weeks 2288 Cosmetology (Three Quarter time, 30 hrs/wk)- 1600 Hours 76 Weeks 2288 Cosmetology (Part time, 20 hrs/wk) – 1600 Hours 114 Weeks 2288 Barbering (Full time, 40 hrs/wk)- 1500Hours 54 Weeks 2145 Barbering (Three Quarter time, 30 hrs/wk)-1500 Hours 72 Weeks 2145 Barbering (Part time, 20 hrs/wk)- 1500 Hours 107 Weeks 2145 Esthetics (Full time, 40 hrs/wk) – 600 Hours 21 Weeks 858 Esthetics (Three Quarter time 30 hrs/wk)- 600Hours 29 Weeks 858 Esthetics (Part time, 20 hrs/wk) – 600 Hours 43 Weeks 858 Manicuring (Full time, 40 hrs/wk) 400 Hours 10 Weeks 572 Manicuring (Three Quarter time, 30 hrs/wk) – 400 Hours 19 Weeks 572 Manicuring (Part time, 20 hrs/wk) -400 Hours 29 Weeks 572 The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements or part-time students will be determined based on 70% of the scheduled contracted hours. Students who have not completed the course within the maximum time frame may continue as a student at the institution on a cash pay basis or be terminated. 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 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 computer system will reflect completion of the practical assignment as a 100% rating). If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must maintain a written grade average of 70% and pass a FINAL written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale: A= 90%-100% EXCELLENT B= 80%- 89% VERY GOOD C =70%- 79% SATISFACTORY 69% and BELOW UNSATISFACTORY 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 hard-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 or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of probation. Students will receive written notice of the impact on their continued eligibility for federal financial aid whenever an SAP evaluation results in a finding of failure to maintain satisfactory progress. WARNING Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress will be placed on warning for the duration of the next evaluation period and will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during the 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 may be terminated or placed on probation if the applicable terms for probation are met (see Probation below). PROBATION Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period will be placed on probation. Students on probation are not considered to be making satisfactory progress only if the student appeals the decision and prevails upon appeal (see Appeal Procedure below). Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. The student will be advised in writing of the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the probationary period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements required for satisfactory academic progress, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory academic progress and, if applicable, such students may continue as cash- paying students or will be terminated from the program. 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 or probationary 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.
