Students must complete the educational program within the maximum time frame, which is based on attending at least 80% of the scheduled hours.

COURSE LENGTH MAXIMUM TIME FRAME

Cosmetology – Part Time 50 Weeks 63 Weeks
Esthetician 21 Weeks 30 Weeks
Manicurist 22 Weeks 27 Weeks

The maximum time frame allowed for full time students, transfer students who need less than full course requirements or part-time students will be determined based on 125% of the scheduled contracted hours. If any student enrolled fails to complete the program within the maximum time frame they will lose their eligibility for Title IV programs and may be terminated from the program. Students who exceed the maximum time frame may be permitted to continue enrollment, and be charged tuition fees accordingly, on a cash-pay basis. Whether a student pays out of pocket or receives Title IV Financial aid all hours attempted and completes are considered part of the Satisfactory Academic Progress calculation. For students with a disability that appeal, the student’s disability will be considered as a factor towards maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress.
