DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS

 

Written and practical evaluations will be conducted by the class instructor at least twice during the students training. The first time will be after completing the beginning classroom requirements and the second time will be before the student may apply for their state boards. The instructor will compile grades cumulative each month. Students will be given a report card every three months during their training.

 

SATISFACTORY PROGRESS

 

Students with a minimum of 76% GPA in theory, practical and an accumulative rate of 90% attendance from the first day of class (at least 126 hours for full time and 86 hours for part time, per month) will be considered to be making SATISFACTORY PROGRESS. On the first of each month all grades will be added to the previous month's average to determine whether the student is meeting satisfactory standards of the school. Satisfactory progress is determined every three months for Cosmetology and Barbering and every two months for Esthetics+, Manicuring and the Cadet Instructor programs.

 

If a student falls below 76% in one area, but still averages 76%, they will be counseled and allowed 30 days to raise that individual area to a 76%. If after 30 days the average in all areas is not at 76% they will be placed on 90 day PROBABTION. One PROBABTION period is allowed before the student is considered to not be making SATISFACTORY PROGRESS and dropped from their program.

 

This policy applies to all students in all programs at Victoria's Academy.
