SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICIES
Satisfactory progress in attendance and academic work is a requirement for all students enrolled in this school. Students who maintain a 80% average in both Theory and Practical and also maintain 80% attendance are deemed to be making satisfactory progress.
At Aesthetics pro, satisfactory progress is defined by the following criteria:
1. Theory Exam 80%
2. Practical Exam 80%
3. Attendance 80%
Attendance Progress Evaluations
Attendance Progress Evaluations Students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance schedule in order to be considered maintaining the Satisfactory Academic 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, Aesthetics Pro will determine if the student has maintained at least 80% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the program which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed.
Maximum Time Frame
The maximum time are 88 hours from course length allowed for students to complete the course. Students who have not completed the course within the maximum time frame will be terminated.
Attendance Record Policies

It is the student’s responsibility to review the time clock reports weekly for accuracy.
Any adjustments to the students’ time clock entries need to be corrected within one week of receiving the time reports and must be communicated through an educator along with the corresponding time clock adjustment form to the registrar’s office.
Warning
Students who fail to meet requirements on any level will be given a written WARNING notice stating that they have one pay period to meet the requirements for satisfactory progress. If the student does not make satisfactory progress at the end of the WARNING period, the student will be determined to be not making satisfactory progress and will be terminated.
Probation
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period will be placed on probation. 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. Students placed on an academic plan must be able to meet requirements set forth in the academic plan
by the end of the next evaluation period. Students who are progressing according to their specific academic plan will be considered making Satisfactory Academic Progress. 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 or by the academic plan, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory progress.
Appeal Procedure
If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory academic progress, the student may appeal the determination. Reasons for which students may appeal a negative progress determination include death of a relative, an injury or illness of the student, or any other allowable special or mitigating circumstance. The student must submit a written appeal to the school with supporting documentation of the reasons why the determination should be reversed. This information should include what has changed about the student’s situation that will allow him/her
to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress by the next evaluation point. Appeal documents will be reviewed and a decision will be made and reported to the student within 30 calendar days. The appeal and decision will be retained in the student file.
