Tardiness, absences, and any other interruptions in yourtraining will have a significant impact on your achievement and evaluations. A day’s absence isdifficult to make up. By law, MSC must keep track of your training hours for licensure purposes.All students are expected to be in attendance for the time periods specified in your signedprogram contract. Our training is similar to an actual salon, day spa, or any other professionalemployment opportunity, where absences and tardiness interfere with daily work efficiencyand overall employee record.Students are expected to call the school at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled start timeif they will be absent or tardy. Students late for clinic may clock in at the time they arrive. If astudent that has an “unscheduled” absence/tardiness has clients booked during the absence,the instructors or staff may move those clients to other students. Any students that have an“unscheduled” absence/tardiness will be required to work on mannequins for the day.Any student who is present for 5.5 hours or more in a day is required to take a 30 minutelunch break. Any student who attends class is eligible for a 15 minute break. Any studentwho is present for less than 5.5 hours in a day is eligible for one 15 minute break. All studentsscheduled on the clinic floor are required to sign out for breaks or library use on the appropriateStudent Break Sheet (located at the end of each row) and must also notify their clinic instructor.All students must be present for at least two hours before clocking out for a lunch break andmust be present for at least one hour before taking a 15 minute break. Disciplinary action is atthe discretion of the campus director.Because of the importance of receiving ALL of the information and basic skills during Pre-Clinicor Basic Training, all students are encouraged to attend every day, every hour during the BasicsTraining Phase. Any student missing 24 or more hours of basic training may be withdrawn andwill be considered for re-enrollment at the next class start date.Any student who has 7 consecutive calendar days of “unscheduled” absences, will be consideredwithdrawn from school. (See Cancellation and Refund Policy in the School Catalog)Attendance Tracking SystemThe State Board of Cosmetology requires that students provide an accurate system for recordingtheir hours. Actual hours of attendance are recorded by CampusVue, our computerizedattendance system, located in multiple areas throughout the campus. Time is rounded to thenearest 15-minute interval based on the enrollment contract schedule. Time outside of theenrollment contract schedule is allowed with approval after turning in a “make-up calendar.”Each student is required by Minnesota Laws and State Rules to keep a monthly record of clinicservices including their daily service quotas, clock hours of theory and overall attendance. Timesheets must filled out completely, in blue or black ink, checked for accuracy and initialed by aninstructor before clocking out each day. At month end, all totals should be transferred neatlyto the next month’s sheet and turned in to the education coordinator. Attendance records andtime sheets are the property of the school and may not be removed from school premises. If themonthly record is removed from the school or is not legible it is considered invalid.In order to receive credit for their hours, all students receive an attendance badge and areresponsible for swiping in at or before the beginning of their shifts, out/in for lunch breaks,and out at the end of their shift to receive full credit for their scheduled and attended hours.Students should also sign in/out on the “sign-in” sheet. To receive credit for hours, a studentwithout an attendance badge must purchase a new one for $5. Students who do not purchasea replacement badge may not get credit for any hours. All students scheduled for a lunchbreak are required to swipe out and back in for the time taken. The lunch break time is at thediscretion of the instructors, according to each student’s schedule.148 149

Each person must swipe themselves in and out; any student who swipes another student in orout may be expelled.Certificates of Perfect AttendanceWe recognize the hard work and dedication of students who maintain perfect attendancewhile they are enrolled. A student who earns perfect attendance each month will receive acertificate. Students who maintain perfect attendance throughout their entire enrollmentwill be recognized at graduation and presented with an award to reflect their hard work anddedication.Make-Up HoursOnce a student is on the clinic floor, they may request the option of making up hours. Ninetypercent attendance must be maintained the month prior to the time they wish to makeup hours.Effective August 1, 2013, Minnesota law prohibits a student from attending school for morethan 10 hours in one day. Students are required to fill out a “make-up calendar” in order to putin any extra hours outside of their scheduled hours. The student must turn in the completedcalendar to the education coordinator by the 1st of each month. Approval will be based onspace availability and appropriate student to teacher ratios. NOTE: If the student’s request isapproved and the student doesn’t show, the student loses the privilege for one month.Campus Performance StatisticsWoodburyThe performance statistics for the campus are based on those students who were scheduled tograduate in the calendar year 2011 (as published by our accrediting body – National AccreditingCommission of Career Arts & Sciences) the campus achieved the following rates:° °° °° °Completion: 62%Licensure: 100%Placement: 82%Plymouth – Plymouth data is unavailable at this time as the campus opened in 2012.Completion Rate/Student Right to KnowSchools that participate in student financial aid are required by the Department of Education’sIPEDS Data Collection Survey to disclose information about completion rates to current andprospective students.

Academic adjustments and/or modifications include, but are not limited to, auxiliary aids, changes in the length of timepermitted for the completion of degree requirements, substitution of specific courses requiredfor the completion of degree requirements, adaptation of the manner in which specific coursesare conducted and/or modification of school policies or procedures. MSC is not required tomake adjustments and/or modifications that are essential to the instruction being pursued orwould fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program or activity; those that representa personal service; or those that would result in a violation of accreditation or regulatoryrequirements.154 155

A student wishing to request reasonable accommodation must submit a Disclosure of DisablingCondition and Request for Academic Adjustment to the education coordinator at the student’shome campus including acceptable documentation concerning the disability, so that reasonableaccommodations can be made. Some important considerations follow:1) Potential students requesting accommodations for the entrance assessment mustcomplete the accommodations process prior to being granted such accommodation.2) Accommodations are not granted on a retroactive basis. Academic work that has beensubmitted prior to a request is not able to be resubmitted with the accommodationsgranted and will remain graded as originally submitted.3) Applicants requesting accommodations must acknowledge that the school is affordedan appropriate amount of time to determine and secure reasonable accommodations.Accommodations that require the acquisition of equipment, software/hardware, oradditional resources will require additional time to secure and will not be immediatelyavailable upon request.It is the student’s responsibility to self-disclose a disabling condition and to request reasonableaccommodation as soon as the student determines a need or desire for such accommodation.For more information about required documentation or to request academic adjustments,please contact the education coordinator at your home campus.LicensureEach student must complete all services, quotas, tests, examinations, hours and assignmentsrequired by the school before the school releases necessary documentation for licensing.Each student must have proof of earning a high school diploma or its equivalency written inEnglish in order to be eligible to obtain a license from the state of Minnesota.For state licensing, required Minnesota State written exams are given at an independenttesting site.

Therefore, strong legs,a strong back, and good posture are necessary for maintaining a healthy disposition in thiscareer. Nail Technicians spend the majority of time working in a sitting position, also demandinga healthy back. In both professions, the hands and eyes are constantly utilized, with a largeemphasis on detail work.

HonorsIn order to stress the importance of academic performance, MSC recognizes students whoseoverall grade is 95% or higher at the end of their program. These exceptional students willreceive cords at graduation and will be announced as an Honors student.State SheetsEach student is required by Minnesota laws and state rules to keep a monthly record ofclinic services to record their daily service quotas and clock hours of the theory and overallattendance. The state time sheet needs to be filled out completely, in blue or black ink only,checked for accuracy and initialed by an instructor before clocking out each day. At month end,all totals are to be brought forward neatly to the next month’s state time sheet and then turnedin to the education coordinator. State sheets cannot be adjusted after they are closed out. Statetime sheets are closed out on the 5th of each month. These attendance records and state timesheets are the property of the school and may not be removed from the school premises. Anystate time sheet that is removed from the school or is not legible shall be considered invalid.Student PriorityThe main priority of all students should be academic activities. In addition to the collection ofhours towards the assigned criteria for graduation, the student should also note the importanceof all assignments given by instructors, any client service, practice services on a mannequin,and individual study to be equally essential. Students are expected to prepare for all tests andexams during and outside of school hours.Testing and Student EvaluationThe instructor who prepares and administers tests and creates evaluative exercises will judgethe competency of each student. The instructor will prepare and administer tests, and createevaluative exercises. The school’s grading scale used is listed in the school’s catalog.Missed or failed tests must be made up or retaken within two weeks of the original test date.All students not making up the missed tests will receive a zero (0) for a grade for that test. Allstudents failing a test are invited to retest for a better score. If a student chooses not to retest,the original failing score is entered in the student’s record. If a student chooses to retest andfails again, the higher of the two tests will be recorded. If a student chooses to retest andreceives a passing score, the highest score the student can receive is the minimum passingscore of 75%.Students taking their Basic, Mid-term, and Course Completion Skill Certification must passeach category with a 75% or higher score. This guideline matches the state required minimumscore of 75%.All students on the clinic floor will be evaluated on a minimum of ten technical skills per monthby an instructor. Students failing to meet the requirement will result in their score beingadjusted down by 20%.Transfer of Hour PolicyHours completed within that last three years from another accredited institution may betransferred upon approval by the designated school official. Each transferring student isevaluated on transcripts and technical cosmetology evaluation.The student must request an official transcript and ensure that is received by the school. Theofficial transcripts must include the following information: actual clock hours completed, gradesreceived, and number of service quotas completed. The student will be required to scheduleand attend a practical certification prior to the desired start of class and pay $100.00 fee.In addition, the following conditions apply:° °° °All transferable hours must have earned a grade of C or better.A minimum of 25% of total program hours must be completed at MSC in all programs.Students completing hours to obtain a Minnesota State Cosmetology License who are licensedin another state and utilizing Minnesota State Reciprocity benefits are exempt from the 25%of total program hours to be completed at MSC. Students must provide proof of a currentCosmetology license from another state.TutoringThe MSC tutor program connects students needing additional help with instructor-recommendedclassmates in one-on-one or group meetings. This free resource provides peer and learning support.It is the responsibility of the student to submit a request, to the student services coordinator,after which all efforts will be made to secure an eligible tutor. In most cases, accommodationcan be made; however it is not guaranteed in all situations.Wage OpportunityBelow are the current hourly pay rates, commission rates, and retail commissions beingoffered by salons in the metro and surrounding areas. Due to the variety of pay programs, andcommission schedules each salon offers, the following reflects an average of the salon industry.Keep in mind, what you put into your career is what you will get in return. The stronger yourdedication, the more lucrative the results. The following does reflect tips.Based on NACCAS Statistics: The Average Salon Income, Including Tips is $30,000 - $48,000 Source: “Job Demand in theCosmetology Industry 2007”SummaryA successful learning experience is dependent upon both students and instructors understandingtheir responsibilities and relationships. Training cannot take place without the active participationof both. MSC expects both students and faculty to be aware of the role of all participants inthe learning process and to fulfill their responsibilities in order to ensure the success of theinstitution, the instructor and above all, the student.

The institution will abide by the law as outlined in the accompanying policy. Aspart of our institutional philosophy, we are dedicated to the advancement and well-being of thepopulation we serve. As such, all students and employees are encouraged to abstain from theuse of illegal drugs and irresponsible use of alcohol.MSC abides by the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendmentsof 1989, Public Law 101-226 and requires its students and employees to follow this law.Drug and Alcohol PolicyEmployees and students are prohibited from the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession,or use of illicit drugs or alcohol. This prohibition applies while on the property of the school orparticipating in any institutional activity. Students or employees who violate this policy will besubject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from school and/or termination ofemployment.As a condition of enrollment or employment, students and employees must abide by the termsof the policy or MSC will take one or more of the following actions within 30 days with respectto any student or employee who violates this policy by:Reporting the violation to law enforcement officialsTaking the appropriate disciplinary action against such student or employee, up to and includingexpulsion or termination.Requiring such student or employee to participate in a substance abuse rehabilitation programapproved for such purposes by a federal, state, or local health, law enforcement or otherappropriate agency.Numerous legal sanctions under local, state and federal laws can be used to punish violators.Penalties can range from suspension, revocation and denial of a driver’s license to 20-50 yearsimprisonment at hard labor without benefit of parole. Property may be seized. Communityservice may be mandated.Recent federal anti-drug laws take into consideration a number of areas. Students could loseeligibility for financial aid, and/or could be denied other federal benefits, such as Social Security,retirement, welfare, health, disability, and veteran’s benefits. The Department of Housing andUrban Development, which provides funds to states and communities for public housing, nowhas the authority to evict residents and members of their household who are involved in drugrelatedcrimes on or near the public housing premises. Businesses could lose federal contractsif the company does not promote a drug-free environment. Finally, a record of a felony orconviction in a drug-related crime may prevent a person from entering certain careers.The laws of the State of Minnesota are adequate to protect the innocent, but stringent enoughto insure that persons involved with the illegal dealing of drugs or excessive use of alcohol canbe adequately punished. For example, a small amount of drugs found on a person may lead toan arrest which could require the person to pay for all of court costs as well as participate inmandatory community service. A person found with drugs, with the intention to distribute,could be imprisoned. A person found to be intoxicated while driving could be forced to paycourt costs, lawyer’s fees, participate in community service, receive an increase in the cost ofautomobile insurance, lose their driver’s license and/or could possibly end up in prison.In addition to local and state authorities, the federal government has four agencies engaged infighting illicit drugs. These agencies are: The Drug Enforcement Agency, U.S. Customs Service,Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Coast Guard.Here are a few legal facts to be aware of regarding illegal drugs: It is a crime to hold someoneelse’s drugs. It is a crime to sell fake drugs. You can be arrested if you are in a house (or a school)where people are using drugs, even though you are not using them yourself. A person canbe charged with possessing drugs even if they are not physically on the person. Under legalterms of constructive possession, having drugs in a locker, purse, car, or house is consideredpossession.Drug abuse is the utilization of natural and/or synthetic chemical substances for non-medicalreasons to affect the body and its processes, the mind and nervous system, and behavior. Theabuse of drugs can affect a person’s physical health, emotional health, and/or social life. Alcoholis the most abused drug in the United States.Drugs can be highly addictive and injurious to the body as well as one’s self. People tend tolose their sense of responsibility and coordination. Restlessness, irritability, anxiety, paranoia,depression, moving slow, inattentiveness, loss of appetite, sexual indifference, comas,convulsions or even death can result from overuse or abuse of drugs. Not only does the personusing the drug subject their self to health risks, drug use can and, in many instances do, causegrief to innocent people. A drug-dulled brain, for example, affects a wide range of skills neededfor safe driving. Further, reflexes are slowed, making it hard for drivers to respond to sudden,unexpected events. Alcohol-related highway deaths are a top killer of 15-24 year olds.162 163

The illegal use or abuseof drugs has a very high impact on our society and the type of crimes committed. To support adrug habit, people must resort to many things they would otherwise never consider. The dollarcosts can range from $200 to $3000 per week to support a habit. More importantly, the drughabit impacts a person’s family, lifestyle, and career prospects as well as one’s physical wellbeingand self-respect.Treatment is available. Any person who has concerns or is unsure should seek assistance. It hasbeen proven that an individual “hooked” cannot just stop but requires professional care to kickthe habit.There are danger signals that could indicate when someone is in trouble with drugs or alcohol:° °° °° °° °Uncharacteristic temper flare upsIncreased “secret” behaviorAbrupt changes in mood or attitudeResistance to discipline at home or school° °° °° °Getting into a slump at work or schoolIncreased borrowing of moneyA complete set of new friendsMSC recommends that any person observing any of the above changes in either employees orstudents immediately notify the contact person named in this policy, or anyone else in authorityat MSC. Caution must be taken so not to wrongly accuse a person suspected of taking drugs. Animproper accusation could lead to embarrassment both to the individual and the school.Once it has been determined by authorities at the Institution that an individual requiresassistance, the individual and his/her family should be advised of the necessity for help. Recordsmust be maintained of any advising provided to the individual.There are clinics near the campus, which can render assistance. Treatment must be an expenseborne by the patient. MSC can only offer advice in a limited manner. If the individual is inimmediate danger of harming either him/herself or others, local law authorities should beimmediately contacted.Employees and students who violate these standards of conduct subject themselves to disciplinaryaction. Students are reminded that as a result of the 1998 Higher Education Amendments, adrug conviction can disqualify a student for Title IV financial aid. A conviction that was reversed,set aside, or removed from a student’s record does not count, nor does one received when thestudent was a juvenile, unless he or she was tried as an adult. This provision applies to eligibilityfor the Title IV financial aid from July 1, 2000 on.For possession of illegal drugs, a student is ineligible for the Title IV financial aid following thedate of conviction for:° °° °° °One year for the first offenseTwo years for a second offenseAn indefinite period for three or more offensesFor sale of illegal drugs, a student is ineligible following the date of conviction for:° °° °Two years for the first offenseAn indefinite time for a second offenseIf a student is convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods ofineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period. If a studentsuccessfully completes a qualified drug rehabilitation program, she/he regains eligibility on thedate of completion. Any further drug convictions will make the student ineligible again.164 165

A qualified drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests andmust satisfy at least one of the following requirements:° °° °Be qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly from a federal, state, or localgovernment program.Be qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensedinsurance company.stool of a person with hepatitis A. For this reason, the virus is more easily spread in areas wherethere are poor sanitary conditions or where good personal hygiene is not observed. Personswith hepatitis A can spread the virus to others who live in the same household or with whomthey have sexual contact. Casual contact as in the usual office, factory or school setting, doesnot spread the virus.Who is at risk for hepatitis A?° °° °Be administered or recognized by a federal, state or local government agency or court.Be administered or recognized by a federally or state licensed hospital, health clinic ormedical doctor.° °° °Persons who share a household or have sexual contact with someone who has hepatitis A.Travelers to countries where hepatitis A is a common disease where clean water andproper sewage disposal are not available.Students denied eligibility for an indefinite time can qualify for financial aid only aftercompleting a rehabilitation program as described or if a conviction is reversed, set asideor removed from the student’s record so that less than two convictions for sale or threeconvictions for possession remain on the record. In such cases, the nature and dates of theremaining convictions will determine when the student regains eligibility.If a student regains eligibility during the award year, the change is treated as are other changesin eligibility (e.g. attaining permanent resident or citizen status during the award year). Pell andcampus-based aid may be awarded for the payment period, FFEL loans may be awarded for theperiod of enrollment, and direct loans may be awarded for the academic year.Note that regarding drug convictions the student self-certifies as to eligibility for aid andcompletion of a qualified rehabilitation program. A student is not required to verify thisinformation unless there is a discrepancy. Employees, upon being hired by MSC, receive abriefing and acknowledge in writing that they understand the provisions of the Drug-FreeWorkplace Act of 1988.

Hepatitis A can affect anyone. Inthe United States, hepatitis A can occur in situations ranging from isolated cases of disease towidespread epidemics. Good personal hygiene and proper sanitation can help prevent hepatitisA. Vaccines are also available for long-term prevention of hepatitis A virus infection in persons2 years of age and older. Immune globulin is available for short-term prevention of hepatitis Avirus infection in all ages.° °° °Persons, especially children, living in regions of the United States with high rates of HAVinfection.Travelers to regions where HAV is common, including Central and South America, Africa,and Asia.How do you know if you have hepatitis A?A blood test (IgM anti-HAV) is needed to diagnose hepatitis A. Talk to your doctor or someonefrom your local health department if you suspect that you have been exposed to hepatitis A orany type of viral hepatitis.What are the signs and symptoms or hepatitis A?Persons with hepatitis A virus infection may not have any signs or symptoms of the disease.Older persons are more likely to have symptoms than children. If symptoms are present, theyusually occur abruptly and may include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominaldiscomfort, dark urine, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Symptoms usually last lessthan 2 months; a few persons are ill for as long as 6 months. The average incubation period forhepatitis A is 28 days (range: 15-50 days).How can you prevent hepatitis A?You should always wash your hands after using the bathroom, changing a diaper, and beforeeating or preparing food.Hepatitis A vaccines provide long-term protection against hepatitis A and are licensed for usein persons 2 years of age and older. Children and adults need two shots of hepatitis A vaccinefor long-term protection. Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to return for the secondshot. Immune globulin, a preparation of antibodies, is recommended for short-term protectionagainst Hepatitis A and for persons who have already been exposed to HAV. Immune globulinmust be given within two weeks after exposure to HAV for maximum protection.How do you get hepatitis A?Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is found in the stool of persons with hepatitis A.

This condition can be caused by drugs, alcohol,chemicals, and viruses that attack the liver, such as hepatitis virus types A, B, C, D, and E. Thefollowing information concerns only hepatitis B infection.How do you get hepatitis B?Hepatitis B virus is spread when blood or body fluids from an infected person enter anotherperson’s body through a break in the skin (e.g. cuts, needle sticks) or mucous membranes (e.g.eyes, sores in the mouth), or through sexual intercourse. In addition to blood, hepatitis B viruscan be found in semen, vaginal fluids, and saliva. Hepatitis B virus is not found in urine or feces.Persons who put themselves at risk for getting hepatitis B include those who share needles toinject drugs, sexual partners of injection drug users, and any person who has sex with more thanone partner. Hepatitis B can also be spread by ear or body piercing, tattooing, and acupuncture,if equipment or needles are not sterilized between uses. Although rare, the virus can be spread ifpersonal items, such as razor blades used by an infected person, are shared with a non-infectedperson. Employees in jobs which expose them to human blood may be at risk for hepatitis Binfection. Also at risk are persons from certain areas of the world where hepatitis B is common.Children born to mothers who are carriers of hepatitis B virus are at the greatest risk of gettinginfected from exposure to the mother’s blood during birth. Unless vaccinated at the time ofbirth, these babies can become “chronic carriers,” which means they are infected with the virusfor life. Between 6% and 10% of the adults who get hepatitis B can become chronic carriers. Aslong as the virus is present in the blood and body fluids, the person is infectious.What are the symptoms?The symptoms of the hepatitis B disease may develop between 6 weeks and 6 months (averagetime 2-3 months after exposure). Symptoms develop slowly and may include tiredness, loss ofappetite, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and mild fever). Joint pains, muscle aches,rash, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) may occur in some cases. Less than 1% of thepeople who get hepatitis B die from it during the acute (early) phase. Recovery from hepatitis Bmay take several months. Some persons who are infected with hepatitis B virus may have onlymild symptoms or no symptoms at all. These persons may not know they are infected, and maynot see a doctor. Persons with chronic hepatitis B infection may later develop serious problemslike liver cancer and liver failure.How do I know if I have hepatitis B?Blood tests can tell if you are infected with the hepatitis B virus. These tests can also help yourphysician determine whether you are currently ill with hepatitis B or if you are a chronic carrier.Is there a treatment for hepatitis B?Although there is no treatment for the disease, bed rest and an adequate diet are important.Alcohol and medications (unless prescribed by your physician) should be restricted. Follow-upblood tests are necessary to tell if the disease is gone.How can the risk of spreading hepatitis B be reduced?° °° °° °° °° °Do not share needles, syringes or other drug injecting equipment.Properly sterilize instruments used to puncture the skin.Abstain from sex or have sex only with mutually faithful, uninfected or vaccinated partner.Maintain good personal hygiene.
