Revised August 2013
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) POLICY
The Real Barbers College expects all of its students to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as established by this institution. Any prospective student should read and consider the SAP policy before enrollment. The college’s SAP policy is applied consistently to all students enrolled in a specific program and scheduled for a particular category of attendance (part-time/full-time).
The student must:
1. Maintain a cumulative academic average of "C" (70%) or better on all tests, work projects (operations) and other required coursework.
2. Maintain a cumulative average attendance level of at least two-thirds (2/3) (67%) of the scheduled hours indicated on their enrollment contract. For example, a student scheduled to complete 30 hours per week would have to maintain an average weekly attendance of at least 20 hours per week (2/3 x 30 = 20).
Regardless of the average level of attendance, students who have more than two consecutive weeks of absences (14 calendar days) will be dismissed. This standard shall apply to all students except those on an approved Leave-of-Absence (see LOA policy). Students who expect to be absent 14 days up to 180 days are encouraged to request a Leave-of-Absence. In addition to attendance standards relating to Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), students are also required to adhere to other certain general institutional policies relating to attendance and tardiness. These policies are outlined in the “School Rules” section of the catalog on pages 20-22.
3. Complete the course within one and one-half times (150%) the length of the course as defined in the catalog. For example, a student who enrolls in a 600 hour/ 20 week long Esthetician program must complete within 30 weeks. For the purpose of determining the maximum time frame, transfer hours from another institution that are accepted toward the student’s educational program are counted both as attempted and completed hours.
4. Students must meet minimum academic and attendance requirements for each evaluation period of the course to be considered as making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation.
EVALUATION PERIODS: Students’ compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress is divided into evaluation periods and is assessed at each of the following times (all hours are actual hours completed):
* Cosmetology: When a student completes 450, 900, 1250 and 1600 hours * Cosmetology Crossover: When a student completes 200 and 400 hours * Barbering: When a student completes 450, 900, 1250 and 1500 hours * Barbering Crossover: When a student completes 200 and 400 hours * Barber Instructor: When a student completes 300 and 600 hours * Manicurist: When a student completes 300 and 600 hours * Esthetician: When a student completes 300 and 600 hours
GRADING SYSTEM
: Students are evaluated on a regular basis in theory, practical and clinical work. The evaluations are measured on a standard percentile basis and the percentage equated to a letter grade. Evaluation forms are issued to the students upon completion of each increment of the course hours as explained above for student’s review. This evaluation form reflects the overall Attendance and Academic progress of the student. Students must maintain a minimum of "C" (70%) cumulative grade average or practical evaluation to maintain satisfactory academic progress status. The system detailed below is the system utilized in the school.ACADEMIC GRADING
POINT GRADES FOR PRACTICAL WORK
100% - 90% A...Excellent (GPA 4) 4 POINTS = A 89% - 80% B...Above Average (GPA 3) 3 POINTS = B 79% - 70% C...Average (GPA 2) 2 POINTS = C 69% - 60% D...Unsatisfactory (GPA 1) 1 POINTS = D 59% - 00 % F...Fail (GPA 0) 0 POINTS = F

Revised August 2013
ATTENDANCE STATUS
: Full time: Any student scheduled to attend 24 hours or more per week are considered to be full-time students. Half time enrollment requires a minimum of 12 hours per week. Part-time enrollment is defined as more than 12 but less than 24 hours per week. Less than 12 hours per week is less than half time.WARNING
: Students who fall below the above standards at the Satisfactory Progress evaluation point for their actual hours will be placed on Warning. A student considered to be making unsatisfactory progress while on Warning is still eligible for Financial Aid. If the student does not improve either grades and/or attendance by the end of the evaluation point, they will be ineligible for financial aid.ACADEMIC PROBATION
: Students who meet the minimum requirements for attendance and academic performance are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Students who fail to meet SAP standards during a given evaluation period will be placed on satisfactory academic progress probation for one additional evaluation period following a warning. If the student appeals the negative progress decision and if the college determines that SAP can be met by the end of the subsequent evaluation period or if the college develops an academic plan for the student, if followed, the student will ensure that he/she will be able to meet the college’s SAP requirement by a specific point within the maximum timeframe established for the individual student.Students on SAP probation will be notified by the college that they are no longer eligible to receive additional Title IV financial aid during the probation period. For the students under SAP probation, aid eligibility will be reinstated only after the student has re-established SAP in accordance with the attendance and grading standards indicated in STANDARDS 1, 2, 3 & 4 of SAP standards as described on page 16 of this catalog. Probationary students who meet SAP by the conclusion of the probationary period will be removed from academic probation, will be considered making SAP and thus eligible to receive further financial aid.
Probationary students who fail to meet SAP by the conclusion of the probationary period will be deemed not to be making satisfactory academic progress, and thus may be terminated at the discretion of the institution. In the event a student is terminated due to not making Satisfactory Academic Progress, all policies regarding the institution's refund policy will apply.
APPEAL PROCEDURES
: Students who wish to appeal the decision that they are not making Satisfactory Academic Progress must submit a written request to the institution's administrator. The letter should be received within ten (10) days of the college’s decision and must describe any circumstances related to the student's academic standing which the student believes deserve special consideration such as but not limited to, an injury or illness of the student, or death in the family. The student can attach documentation regarding why the student failed to make SAP and what has changed in the student’s situation that will allow the achievement of SAP at the next evaluation period, such as but not limited to doctor’s note, death certificate etc. The administrator shall evaluate the appeal within a reasonable time frame (5-10 days) and notify the student in writing of the administrator's decision. Should the student's appeal be denied, he or she may appear before a school committee to present his or her case. The committee shall provide written notice to the student of its decision within a reasonable time frame (5-10 days). The decision of the committee shall be final. All the results of the appeal procedures will be documented in the student’s file. All the copies of student’s request and college’s decisions will be kept in the student’s file.REINSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
:Financial aid recipients, who lose their eligibility for financial aid due to unsatisfactory progress or to other forms of disciplinary actions, may have their financial aid reinstated. Conditions for reinstatement include, but are not limited to, the achievement of academic standing consistent with graduation requirements. The student may request reinstatement by completing a reinstatement by writing a letter documenting the reasons the student believes he/she should be reinstated. The school committee reviews such requests after academic advising with the student.

All student records are stored for six (6) years only and it is the responsibility of the student to maintain all documents received from the institution beyond the six-year period. The institution reserves the right to evaluate the previous enrollment and to verify that the student was in good standing with the college before the student is accepted for re-enrollment. If accepted by the college, the student will re-enter the same progress status as he/she left.LEAVE OF ABSENCE
: Occasionally, students may experience extended personal, medical or other problems which make it difficult to attend class. The institution may allow a student under such circumstances to take a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the program for up to 180 days in a 12 month period. The LOA must be requested in writing by the student and must be approved by the school officer. The LOA request form must be filled out and the date of leave and return must be stated on the form prior to the officer approving the LOA. Do not request a Leave of Absence unless you absolutely need one. Students on LOA's will not be assessed any additional charges of tuition. Students returning from an authorized LOA will retain all credit for clock hours and work projects completed and will be returned to the academic progress status they held prior to the start of the leave of absence. In addition, students returning from a LOA will have his/her maximum time frame and contract period extended by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence. Contract addendum will be initialed by all parties Students who fail to return from a LOA will be considered withdrawn as of the last class day of attendance prior to the start of the leave and the official determination date will be the expected return date of the leave of absence. The refund calculation will be performed and all refunds due will be issued to the student or appropriate agencies and paid within 45 days of the official determination date.ATTENANCE POLICY, TARDY AND MAKE-UP POLICIES

Notification of Right under FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the School receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The School official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the School official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.
A student who wishes to ask the School to amend a record should write the School official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.
If the School decides not to amend the record as requested, the School will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to provide written consent before the School discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
The School discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the School in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the School has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using School employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
