SATISFACTORY PROGRESS STANDARDS - MANICURE COURSE TESTING AND GRADING Written tests are given students throughout their classroom study. Subject matter for written tests will be in cosmetology theory and state law. An average of 80% represents minimum satisfactory progress. Practical grades are determined from the students PRACTICAL PROJECT SHEET. Each completed project must be approved and signed by an instructor. The projects may be performed on a clinic client, another student, or a mannequin. A comprehensive final examination is given prior to taking the State Board examination. An average grade of 80% represents a minimum satisfactory progress on practical projects. A Satisfactory Progress Evaluation will be administered at 200 clock hours. Students will receive a computer printout progress report, with an instructor evaluating student progress, quarterly during the fiscal year during the months of January, April, July, and October. For purposes of determining satisfactory progress each course is broken down into segments. The following segment chart is for a 400-clock hour course, with a maximum time frame of 19 weeks and 67-_ % minimum attendance at 4-week intervals. . WEEKS 4 8 12 16 19.3 SCHEDULED HOURS 120 240 360 480 579 67 _ % ATTENDENCE 81 162 243 324 390 An overall average of 80% is required for graduation. The grading scale is based on a numerical system as follows: A = 100% C = 89.87 - 86.85% B+ = 99.99 - 96.95% D+ = 86.84 - 83.10% B = 96.94 - 93.91% D = 83.00 - 80.00% C+ = 93.90 - 89.88% F = 79% and below Students are required to take any failed examination over one time. A student may take any failed exam over without any limitation at the discretion of the instructor. A passed examination may not be retaken. Students who do not achieve 80% cumulative average at the end of each segment will be placed on probation for a period of one segment. During that period, the student may receive any financial aid due them. If the cumulative average at the end of the probationary period is less than 80%, financial aid will normally be terminated until the cumulative average is raised to the level considered satisfactory. However, students may appeal for one extra probationary period if they can demonstrate that the causes of the previous poor performance have been eliminated and that their performance during the probationary period showed improvement. 38
In no case will the student be considered to be making satisfactory progress unless he/she has achieved both the grade and attendance requirements for at lease one segment before the midpoint. ATTENDANCE A student must attend at lease 67 _ % of the scheduled hours agreed upon in his/her enrollment contract or the student will be placed on attendance probation. At the end of the next segment, if the cumulative attendance rate is not at least 67-_%, financial aid will normally be terminated until the student’s cumulative rate is at least 67 1/2%. However, as in the case of grades you may appeal for one probation period if the attendance during the first probation period was at least 70%. However, unless the student failed both the grade and attendance requirements for at least one segment before the midpoint, it will not be considered that satisfactory progress is made during the second probationary period. Even if attendance rate is above 67-_%, the Pell grant and SEOG programs disbursements will be delayed until the hours initially paid have been completed. Second disbursements of loans and grants will not be granted until the student has attended 451 actual clock hours. APPEAL PROCESS Any student placed on probation has the right to appeal his/her probation charges. Guidelines for the appeal process will be as follows: 1. The written appeal must be signed by the student and directed to the Director of Financial Aid. 2. The appeal must be made with five scheduled school days following the date of probation. 3. The written appeal must include: a. Circumstances causing tardiness and absenteeism; b. Circumstances and scholastic reasons for low grades; and c. Reasons why and how circumstances listed which caused probation have or will be corrected. The Director of Financial Aid will review the written appeal document and respond to the student within 10 scheduled school days. Response will be in writing and inform the student that the appeal has been approved or denied. The Director of Student Financial Aid may, after a careful and thorough research of the appeal circumstances along with research of the student’s history, determine that the student is making satisfactory progress towards his/her certificate despite the failure to conform within the time frame or minimum grade averages. 39
