Institutional Attendance Policy

The student’s attendance will be evaluated at Institutional Attendance checkpoints of every 150 scheduled hours for Cosmetology and Barbering, every 167 scheduled hours for Cosmetology and Barber teacher 1000 hour, and every 83 scheduled hours for Cosmetology and Barber teacher 500 hours. Due to the course requirements and the length of program, the 250 hour cosmetology refresher/refresher program will not have any Institutional Attendance Evaluations.

A student who is not maintaining at least a 88% attendance (cosmetology and barbering) or 90% (500/1000 barber and cosmetology teacher) will be placed on Institutional Attendance Warning status until the next Institutional Attendance checkpoint. The student will be advised in writing on the actions required to attain Institutional Attendance by the next evaluation.

If at the end of the Institutional Attendance Warning period, the student has still not met attendance requirements, he/she will be placed on Institutional Attendance Probation status until the next Institutional Attendance checkpoint. The student will be advised in writing on the actions required to attain Institutional Attendance by the next evaluation. If at the end of the Institutional Attendance Probation period, the student has still not met attendance requirements, he/she may be dropped from the program with the right to appeal.

For students with a disability accommodation that do not meet Institutional Attendance, the student’s disability accommodation will be considered as a factor towards maintaining Institutional Attendance.
