TABLE OF CONTENTS

Summit Salon Academy - Portland MISSION STATEMENT 

Our education mission is based upon three established, career education principles:

∗ Learning by doing is the most effective when training the hands and the mind;

∗ Learning is directly proportional to the amount of fun you have while learning; and

∗ A good teacher is one who inspires students to have confidence in him/her. A great teacher inspires  students to have confidence in themselves.

Our objective is to be a “great school” with “great instructors”

Our mission is to inspire and provide each of our students with the entry level technical skills, people skills and  professional attitude, necessary for a long, profitable career in the Hair Design, Esthetics, and/or Nail  Technology industry. This is our commitment to our students.

-Summit Salon Academy - Portland

FACILITY 

Summit Salon Academy - Portland is located in southwest Portland, Oregon. It is located three blocks from  Highway 217, just off highway 99W. The school is on two major Tri-Met bus routes.

The school is in a 5,008 sq. ft. building and is equipped with circular clinic workstations and hydraulic styling  chairs. The school has nail application stations, facial rooms equipped with a sink, storage units, and  professional adjustable facial chairs. There are classrooms, a student clinic, student breakroom,  administrative offices, and a conference room.

Each student is assigned a locker. The school is air conditioned with an “economizer unit” that changes the air  in the building every thirty minutes. The school is equipped with a handicapped restroom and outside ramp.  The building has client parking to ensure a regular supply of clinic patrons for guided “hands on” practice. The  school is located on the edge of Portland Plaza, which includes several stores and restaurants. We encourage  prospective students to come visit our school anytime during our regular office hours, 8:30 am to 5 pm,  Monday through Friday.

PROGRAM SCHEDULES 

Programs Offered and Schedule  

The institution’s hours of attendance depend on the schedule enrolled and assigned as stated below. The total weeks to  complete as shown do not include holidays and in service days. All programs are offered in the English language.

COMPENSATION GRADUATES CAN REASONABLY EXPECT 

Compensation for a graduate depends on how hard he or she is willing to work. If you start employment based  on an hourly wage, your starting wage will be minimum or above. If you go into a commission environment, it  would depend on what percentages are used in that salon. (ie: 40% to 60%) If you were to lease a station, you  would pay a monthly rent for the space. There are productivity bonuses that may also apply in the hourly  wage environment.

The U.S. Department of Labor provides current job information at http://www.careerinfonet.org This website  includes information by job position to include state & national wages, occupation profiles/descriptions, state  & national trends, knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for each position. As reported by the US Dept. of  Labor (www.bls.gov), state & national median wages for related positions.

The O*NET program is the nation's primary source of occupational information. Central to the project is the  O*NET database, containing information on hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors.  The database, which is available to the public at no cost, is continually updated by surveying a broad range of  workers from each occupation.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT AND RE-ENTRY 

Students with prior training, wishing to transfer enrollment credits must first comply with Summit Salon  Academy - Portland regular admission requirements. Students with credits from another Oregon school must  submit a written request, to their former school, for an official transcript to be mailed or faxed directly to  Summit Salon Academy - Portland. Transfer students are advised that clock hour training credits in Oregon  are only valid for 10 years from the date of graduation, withdrawal, or termination of enrollment. No transfer  students shall be enrolled at Summit Salon Academy - Portland without an official transcript of prior training  on file.

Students with “out of state” credits must write to their previous school or state board and request that an  official transcript is sent directly to Summit Salon Academy - Portland. These transcripts will be evaluated by  Summit Salon Academy - Portland staff and then submitted to the Superintendent for state approval if  required, prior to granting the credit.

Former Summit Salon Academy - Portland students who withdrew from school before the completion of their  contracted programs may re-enter after a six-month (180 days) waiting period and completing the following:

• Meeting all the school’s regular admission requirements; and
• Pay any outstanding financial charges owed to the school or make arrangements; and
• Make payment provisions for payment on their remaining training  

Students will be given credit for all prior training and contracted only for the hours required to complete  Oregon state requirements.  

PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF THE PROFESSION 

A Hair Design must have good hand/eye coordination and good leg mobility for moving and standing for  extended lengths of time while performing services. Clients are usually shampooed by their stylist at a  shampoo bowl and then moved and seated in an adjustable hydraulic styling chair at the stylists’ work station.  Special stools can be attached to or used in conjunction with a hydraulic styling chair, allowing the practitioner  to sit while performing some portion of the hair service. The amount of income earned from cutting,  permanent waving, curl relaxing and/or coloring hair correlates directly with eye and hand coordination,  physical agility, and speed. The services you perform in an hour equal your income. A Hair Designer is  required to take and pass a written State cosmetology examination. This exam requires skills in reading  comprehension, basic spelling, written language, and technical vocabulary memory. The Practical Examination  evaluates these hands-on procedures. Kinesthetic learners are extremely successful in cosmetology careers.

Esthetics clients sit in reclining hydraulic chairs or tables designed for facial technology services. Person  having limited range of upper body motion, arm and/or hand strength and manual dexterity may have  difficulty in performing facial skin care treatments, massage, and makeup applications. Coordination of eye  and hand movement is critical to the application of facial makeup. Successful practitioners in facial technology  and makeup sales and services need good color perception and a natural artistic talent for applying and selling  makeup products. The written license examination requires skills in reading comprehension, basic spelling,  written language, and technical vocabulary memory. The Practical Examination evaluates these hands-on procedures. Kinesthetic learners with good color perception and artistic ability are very successful in skincare  and facial technology careers.

Nail Technology services are performed with both the client and the practitioner seated at a manicure table.  Pedicure services require bending of the upper body and the lifting and carrying of a foot soaking container  holding both soap and water. Excellent eye and hand coordination is critical to all nail services. The  application of a full set of artificial nails (ten fingers) can require up to an hour and thirty minutes by a  professional Nail Technician. Nail technology students may require three to four hours to perform the same  service. Persons who are unable to sit and perform exacting hand work for long periods of time would be  advised to avoid nail technology as a career choice. As in hair design, productivity is the key to financial  success in all nail services. Students will be coached to improve both manual skills and their speed during  enrollment in this program. The written license examination requires skills in reading comprehension, basic  spelling, written language, and technical vocabulary memory. The Practical Examination evaluates these  hands-on procedures.  

CHEMICAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS 

As a professional Cosmetologist and as a student of cosmetology, you will be using and applying hazardous  chemical products during some hair and nail services. These chemicals require good salon ventilation and  adherence to proper safety procedures. Oregon Law requires extensive OSHA and physical safety training to  be part of cosmetology curriculum training requirements. If you know you are allergic to a specific type of cosmetic or chemical beauty products, we advise you to review a copy of our OSHA training manual for in  depth information about possible reactions to extended exposure to similar products. If you are pregnant at the time of your enrollment or become pregnant while attending school, Summit Salon  Academy - Portland School will require a written release from your Obstetrician before you can begin or  continue your cosmetology training.

STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION 

Summit Salon Academy - Portland is in compliance with Title VI & VII – Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Title IX  – Education Amendments of 1972, does not discriminate or deny admission to any person on the basis of race,  color, ethnic origin, sex, religion, age, handicap, gender, or gender identity, in any of its policies, procedures  and/or practices. This non-discrimination policy covers admission and access to, treatment of, and  employment with Summit Salon Academy - Portland including but not limited to academic admission, student  financial aid, educational services, and employment. Any person unlawfully discriminated against, as described  in ORS 345 240, may file a complaint under ORS 659A 820 with the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and  Industries.

The school will provide you with placement assistance which will consist of employment  opportunities, assistance with resume writing and job interviews (when requested by the student), and advice  on appropriate means of attempting to realize these opportunities. Additionally, Summit Salon Academy - Portland does not guarantee successful completion of the state board examination.

HOUSING AND ADVISING 

Summit Salon Academy - Portland can recommend suitable housing in the area. However, the Academy does  not own or operate housing facilities.  

        Students in need of professional advising may be referred to professional counseling in the community outside  the school. A list of professional services, with contact information, is available through the administrative  office and is posted in the school. There may be occasions when a student wishes to discuss a specific matter  with a school official. Students are encouraged to ask a staff person for a time when the problem or issue may  be discussed. Records of counseling will be maintained as part of the student’s file.

Each of our students will receive a monthly progress report on their attendance, lab grades and practical skills.  Progress reports will be provided by the school staff each month and evaluated with the students as needed.  Progress reports are kept on record while in active attendance. Any corrections  will need to be made within two days of your receipt of your monthly report.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY 

The satisfactory academic progress policy is consistently applied to all students enrolled in the school, whether  receiving Federal Title IV funds, partial funding assistance, or self-paying. Satisfactory Academic Progress in  attendance and academic work is a requirement. Students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress to  continue eligibility for Title IV HEA Program funds. It is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students  receive a copy prior to enrollment. The policy complies with the guidelines established by the National  Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) and the federal regulations established by the  United States Department of Education.  

EVALUATION PERIODS

Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress based on actual clocked hours as follows:

  *Transfer Students- Midpoint of the contracted hours or the established evaluation periods, whichever comes  first.  

The institution shall evaluate students’ (academic and attendance) Satisfactory Academic Progress at the  conclusion of each evaluation period on a cumulative basis. All evaluations will be completed within seven (7)  school business days following each established evaluation period. The frequency of evaluations ensures that  students have ample opportunity to meet both the attendance and academic progress requirements of at  least one evaluation by midpoint of the academic year or course and/or program whichever occurs sooner. All  periods of enrollment are included in the SAP calculation for Title IV eligibility and otherwise.

ATTENDANCE PROGRESS EVALUATIONS

Students are required to attend a minimum of 75% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance  schedule in order to be considered maintaining satisfactory attendance 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, the school will determine if the student has maintained at  least 75% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same  attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed.

MAXIMUM TIME FRAME

The maximum time (which does not exceed 133% of the course length) allowed for students to complete each  course at satisfactory academic progress is stated below:

COURSE MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED  WEEKS SCHEDULED HOURS

Hair Design/Esthetics/Nail Technology  

(Full time, 35 hrs/wk) -1835 Hours 70 2441 Hair Design and Esthetics

(Full time, 30 hrs/wk) – 1594 Hours 71 2120 Hair Design & Nail Technology

(Full time, 30 hrs/wk) – 1391 Hours 62 1850 Hair Design (Full time 30 hrs/wk) – 1150 Hours 51 1530 Esthetics & Nail Technology

(Full time, 30 hrs/wk) – 725 Hours 33 965 Esthetics (Full time, 30 hrs/wk) – 484 Hours 22 644 Nails (Full time, 30 hrs/wk) – 281 Hours 13 374

The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements will be  determined based on 75% of the scheduled hours. Students who exceed the maximum time frame may  continue on a cash pay basis or will be terminated unless payment cannot be made. All courses offered by the institution are clock hour programs and all students attend on a continuous basis.  Therefore, we do not offer term or credit hour based programs. Enrollment is based on one period of continuous enrollment which counts towards satisfactory academic progress and maximum time frame,  including any time in that period where a student would not receive Title IV. The period of enrollment  includes, fall, winter, spring, and summer, as applicable to the student’s enrollment agreement.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATIONS

The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined  by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical  experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as  

completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. If the  performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be  repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of  study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation  criteria adopted by the school. Students will be allowed to make up failed or missed tests and incomplete  assignments. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:

75 – 100 PASS

70 – 74 NO PASS - BELOW STANDARDS – UNSATISFACTORY

DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS STATUS

Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics (75%) and attendance (75%)at the evaluation  point are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation.  Students will receive a hard-copy of their Satisfactory Academic Progress Determination at the time of each of  the evaluations. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress may have their Title IV, HEA Program Funds interrupted, unless the student is on warning.

WARNING

Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning  and considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the warning period. The student will  be advised in writing on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation.  If at the end of the warning period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic  requirements, he/she is deemed ineligible to receive Title IV funds, as applicable, and will be terminated from  the program unless financial arrangements are made with the school to cover the loss of funding.

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Students may re-establish satisfactory academic progress and Title IV, HEA Program funds, as applicable, by  meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements at the next scheduled evaluation. Students who  become ineligible to receive Title IV, HEA Program funds have the option to pay their tuition through private  funding or on self-pay cash basis.

INTERRUPTIONS, COURSE INCOMPLETES, WITHDRAWALS

If the enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the  same satisfactory academic progress status as prior to the leave of absence. Hours elapsed during a leave of  absence will extend the student’s contract period and maximum time frame by the exact number of calendar  days taken in the leave of absence and will not be included in the student’s cumulative attendance percentage  calculation. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the  same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal. If a student is considering pursuit of  a second program, they must graduate or withdraw from the current program. If a student decides to switch a  program, the current SAP will start over with the new program. The old program SAP will no longer apply.  

NONCREDIT AND REMEDIAL COURSES

Noncredit and remedial courses do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon  the school’s satisfactory academic progress standards.

TRANSFER HOURS

With regard to Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student’s transfer hours will be counted as both attempted  and earned hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been  exhausted. SAP evaluations periods are based on actual contracted hours at the institution.  

NOTE: Withdrawal passing/withdrawal failing and appeals are not applicable to this institution.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY 

This policy applies to all students enrolled in the school. A student who must take an approved Leave of  Absence (LOA) or must withdraw from training will return to school in the same satisfactory academic  progress status as prior to the leave of absence.  

A student may be granted a LOA for any of the following reasons and where there is a reasonable expectation  that the student will return from the LOA:  

1. Medical  

2. Administrative

Students must follow this LOA policy when requesting a LOA. The LOA must be requested in writing using the  form provided by the school and approved in writing prior to LOA occurring. In addition, the student is  required to list the reason for the LOA and their signature is required on the LOA form. Emergency LOA,  without prior written request, may be granted provided the student completes the LOA form and returns it to  school via mail or in person within reasonable resolution of the emergency. In an instance of an emergency  LOA, the beginning date of the approved LOA would be determined to be the first date the student was  unable to attend due to the emergency. Additionally, the institution will document the reason for its decision  to grant the emergency LOA on the LOA form. A student who is granted a LOA that meets the above mentioned criteria is not considered to have withdrawn and a refund calculation is not required. (The school is  not responsible for any equipment left at the school)

There will only be three LOAs permitted per enrollment period with the minimum time frame of 2 weeks or  10 school days and a maximum of 90 calendar days. All LOAs combined may not total more than 90  calendar days in any 12-month period.

On the day the student returns from a LOA the student is required to notify the office. The student’s contract  end date and maximum time frame will be extended for the same number of calendar days the student was  on LOA via an addendum or on the enrollment agreement, initialed by all parties. There will be no additional  charges or penalty to the student as a result of the LOA.  

For federal aid recipients, the student’s payment period is suspended during the LOA and no federal financial  aid will be disbursed to students while on a Leave of Absence. Upon the student’s return, the student will  resume the same payment period and coursework and will not be eligible for additional Title IV aid until the  payment period has been completed.  

If the student does not return from the LOA on the scheduled day to return, the student will be withdrawn  from the school. If a student takes an unapproved Leave of Absence or is absent 14 consecutive calendar  days, they will be considered withdrawn. The school is required to take attendance and therefore the  withdrawal date for the purpose of calculating a refund will be the student’s last date of attendance. If the  student is a Title IV loan recipient, the student’s loans will go into immediate repayment.

PERFORMANCE STATISTICS 2022 

The institution tracks its annual performance with respect to student completion, licensure, and employment  via the completion of the NACCAS Annual Report.

The institution’s accrediting agency requires that any adjustments made to its student outcomes rates due to COVID-19 Pandemic must be disclosed. As student achievement at this institution has not been significantly impacted by the Pandemic, the outcome rates reported do not reflect any such adjustments related to COVID-19.

All the institution’s programs fall under Occupational CIP CODE 12.04 Cosmetology and Related Personal Grooming

Graduation Rate….97.73%  Placement….86.21%  Licensure Rate….80.00%    

STUDENT KIT POLICY

Students are responsible for the safekeeping of  their personal items including the kit. The academy is not responsible for lost or stolen items, therefore,  students are not permitted to leave their kit of equipment at the school while not in attendance unless the kit  is locked in the student’s locker. Students are responsible for obtaining locks for their lockers.

The academy reserves the right to change the kit items. The laptop / Tablet / Phone available in the student  kit is not to be used for recreational purposes during school hours.

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION – STUDENT “Federal Title IV, HEA Program” FUNDING 

Please visit: www.fafsa.ed.gov to find out more about PELL grants. Summit Salon Academy - Portland code is:  013130

Student financial aid money is to help you pay for part of the cost of your technical education program. There  are four financial resources that you can use while attending school; part-time employment, loans, grants and  scholarships. If you are still in High School it would be smart to ask your school career counselor for more  information about possible local or state grants and scholarships.

Summit Salon Academy - Portland participates in the US Department of Education, Title IV student financial  aid programs. These financial aid awards are not dependent upon age. They are based on your financial need  if you are an independent student; or on your families’ need if you are a dependent student. “Need” is the  difference between what it costs to attend school and how much you and/or your family can reasonably be  expected to contribute towards those costs. Our Financial Aid Administrator can tell you about the financial  aid programs that are open to our students. Here are some of the federal program sources you may wish to  explore:

● PELL Grants; are a federal financial grant that you do not have to pay back. All the PELL Grants require  is that you attend school regularly and maintain satisfactory grades and attendance. PELL Grants are  based upon need and income (your family or your own).

● Direct Loans; our students can apply for subsidized student loans (a federal guaranteed loan with  interest paid by the government while you are in school), and unsubsidized student loans (a federal  guaranteed loan on which you pay all of the interest). Each of these loan programs are “need” based.

● PLUS LOANS; are education loans that are made to parents of the student. The loans go into  repayment 60 days after the last disbursement of funds. Parents are responsible for the repayment of  the loan(s).

Each of these federal student financial programs uses the fafsa application to determine the family’s  estimated financial contribution. Please see above for the website link and our school code.  

NOTICE TO STUDENT 

1. Do not sign the enrollment agreement before you have read it or if it contains any blank spaces.
2. The enrollment agreement is a legally binding instrument. The contract is binding only when the  agreement is accepted, signed, and dated by the authorized official of the school or the admissions  officer at the school’s principal place of business. Read all pages before signing.
3. You are entitled to an exact copy of the agreement and any disclosure pages you sign.
4.  The enrollment agreement and the school catalog constitute the entire agreement between the  student and the school.
5. Although the school may provide placement assistance, the school does not guarantee job placement  to graduates upon program completion or upon graduation.
6. The school reserves the right to reschedule the program start date when the number of students  scheduled is too small.
7. The school reserves the right to terminate a student's training for unsatisfactory progress, nonpayment  of tuition or failure to abide by established standards of conduct.
8. The school does not guarantee the transferability of credits to a college, university, or institution. Any  decision on the comparability, appropriateness, and applicability of credit and whether they should be  accepted is the decision of the receiving institution.

ACCESS & RELEASE OF STUDENT RECORDS 

A student (or in the case of a dependent minor), a parent or guardian wishing to review a student's school files  may do so by making an appointment, during regular school hours, with the school Director. The review will  take place in the presence of the Director and the file may not be removed from the school. All student  records and education files are kept confidential, in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy  Act (FERPA). Information will not be released to third parties without the written consent of the student. A  written consent form is required for the release of your records to a third party, unless otherwise required by  law (State & U.S. Department of Education, the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences  or in response to a directive of the Commission). Graduates and former students are advised that only  unofficial school records can be mailed directly to a student. Students’ requiring an official school transcript,  must send a written request with the name and address of the educational institution you wish for us to send  the official documents. After our receipt of your written request, the document will be mailed directly to the  educational institution you identified. The school will provide only one free copy of your transcript.  Additional copies will incur $10.00 transcript fee. The school does not publish a school directory. All requests  for records should be addressed to:

(a) If cancellation occurs within five business days of the date of enrollment, and before the commencement of classes, all monies  specific to the enrollment agreement shall be refunded;

(b) If cancellation occurs after five business days of the date of enrollment, and before the commencement of classes, the school  may retain only the published registration fee. Such fee shall not exceed 15 percent of the tuition cost, or $150, whichever is less; (c) If withdrawal or termination occurs after the commencement of classes and before completion of 50 percent of the contracted  instruction program, the student shall be charged according to the published class schedule. The student shall be entitled to a pro  rata refund of the tuition when the amount paid exceeds the charges owed to the school. In addition to the pro rated tuition, the  school may retain the registration fee, book and supply fees, and other legitimate charges owed by the student; (d) If withdrawal or termination occurs after completion of 50 percent or more of the program, the student shall be obligated for the  tuition charged for the entire program and shall not be entitled to any refund;

(e) The enrollment agreement shall be signed and dated by both the student and the authorized school official. For cancellation of  the enrollment agreement referenced in subsections (1)(a) and (b) of this rule, the "date of enrollment" will be the date that the  enrollment agreement is signed by both the student and the school official, whichever is later.

(2) Published Class Schedule (for the purpose of calculating tuition charges) means the period of time between the commencement  of classes and the student's last date of attendance as offered by the school and scheduled by the student. (3) The term "Pro rata Refund" means a refund of tuition that has been paid for a portion of the program beyond the last recorded  date of attendance.

(4) When a program is measured in clock hours, the portion of the program for which the student will be charged is determined by  dividing the total clock hours into the number of clock hours accrued according to the published class schedule as of the last date of  attendance.

(5) When a program is measured in credit hours, the portion of the program for which the student will be charged is determined by  dividing the total number of weeks into the number of weeks accrued according to the published class schedule as of the last date of  attendance.

(6) For other measurements of time such as days or weeks, the portion of the enrollment period for which the student will be  charged is determined by dividing the total number of days or weeks into the number of days or weeks, accrued according to the  published class schedule as of the last date of attendance.

(7) The term "tuition cost" means the charges for instruction including any lab fees. "Tuition cost" does not include application fees,  registration fees, or other identified program fees and costs. The school shall adopt and publish policies regarding the return of  resalable books and supplies and/or the prorating of user fees, other than lab fees.

(8) The school shall not charge a withdrawal fee of more than $25.

(9) The school may adopt and apply refund calculations more favorable to the student than those described under this policy. (10) When a cancellation, withdrawal, termination, or completion occurs, a calculation of all allowable charges under this rule shall  be made. If such calculations evidence that the school received total payments greater than its allowable charges: (a) Within 40 days after notification of such cancellation, withdrawal, termination, or completion, a written statement showing  allowable charges and total payments received shall be delivered to the student by the school, together with a refund equal in  amount to monies paid to the school in excess of those allowable charges;

(b) In the event payments to a student account are derived from federal and/or state tuition assistance program(s), including student loan programs, regulations governing refund notification and awarding within respective program(s) shall prevail in lieu of  paragraph (a) of this subsection, but only with respect to the covered portions thereof; and

(c) In the event payments to a student account are derived from a sponsoring public agency, private agency, or any source other  than the student, the statement of charges and payments received together with an appropriate refund described under paragraph  (a) of this subsection may be delivered instead to such party(ies) in interest, but only with respect to the covered portions thereof. (11) In case of disabling illness or accident, death in the immediate family, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student  that causes the student to leave school, the school shall arrange a prorated tuition settlement that is reasonable and fair to both  parties.

(12) A school shall be considered in default of the enrollment agreement when a course or program is discontinued or canceled or  the school closes prior to completion of contracted services. When a school is in default, student tuition may be refunded by the  school on a pro rata basis. The pro rata refund shall be allowed only if the Superintendent determines that the school has made provision for students enrolled at the time of default to complete a comparable program at another institution. The provision for  program completion shall be at no additional cost to the student in excess of the original contract with the defaulting school. If the  school does not make such provision, a refund of all tuition and fees shall be made by the school to the students.

If a Title IV financial aid recipient withdraws prior to course completion, a calculation for return of TIV funds will be completed and  any applicable returns by the school shall be paid, as applicable, first to the unsubsidized Federal Stafford Student Loan Program;  second to subsidized Federal Stafford Student Loan Program; third to Federal Pell Grant Program; fourth to other Federal, State,  private or institutional student financial assistance programs; and last to the student. After all applicable returns to TIV aid have  been made, this refund policy will apply to determine the amount earned by the school and owed by the student. If the student has  received personal payments of Title IV aid, he/she may be required to refund the aid to the applicable program.

Determination Date/Withdrawal Date (Official/Unofficial Withdrawal):  

The last date of attendance would be the last day the student was physically in attendance at the school. A withdrawal date on a  student who had been previously attending could be up to, but not exceeding, 14 calendar days from that student’s actual last date  of attendance. An active student officially withdraws when they notify the school’s administrative office of their intention to  withdraw from school. An active student is considered unofficially withdrawn when they have been absent for 10 consecutive  school days (14 calendar days) from their last date of physical attendance without notifying the school’s administrative office.  

Return of Title IV Funds

The law specifies how your school must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that you earn if you withdraw from  school. The Title IV programs that are covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants, Academic Competitiveness Grants, National  SMART Grants, TEACH Grants, Stafford Loans, PLUS Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs), and  Federal Perkins Loans.  

When you withdraw during your payment period the amount of Title IV program assistance that you have earned up to that point is  determined by a specific formula. If you received (or your school or parent received on your behalf) less assistance than the amount  that you earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess  funds must be returned by the school and/or you.

The amount of assistance that you have earned is determined on a pro-rata basis. For example, if you completed 30% of the  scheduled hours in your payment period, you earn 30% of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have  completed more than 60% of the scheduled hours in your payment period, you earn all the assistance that you were scheduled to  receive for that period.

If you did not receive all of the funds that you earned, you may be due a Post-withdrawal disbursement. If your Post-withdrawal  disbursement includes loan funds, your school must get your permission before it can disperse them, the academy will notify  students within 30 days if they are due post-withdrawal loan funds, and will allow 14 days for the student to respond. You may  choose to decline some or all of the loan funds so that you don’t incur additional debt. Your school may automatically use all or a  portion of your Post-withdrawal disbursement of grant funds for tuition, fees, and room and board charges (as contracted with the  school). The school needs your permission to use the Post-withdrawal grant disbursement for all other school charges. If you do not  give your permission (some schools ask for this when you enroll), you will be offered the funds. However, it may be in your best  interest to allow the school to keep the funds to reduce your debt at the school. Grant funds will be disbursed within 45 days.  There are some Title IV funds that you were scheduled to receive that cannot be disbursed to you once you withdraw because of other eligibility requirements. For example, if you are a first-time, first-year undergraduate student and you have not completed the  first 30 days of your program before you withdraw, you will not receive any Direct loan funds that you would have received had you remained enrolled past the 30th day. If you receive (or your school or parent receive on your behalf) excess Title IV program funds  that must be returned, your school must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of: your institutional charges multiplied by  the unearned percentage of your funds, or the entire amount of excess funds. The school must return this amount even if it didn’t  keep this amount of your Title IV program funds. If your school is not required to return all of the excess funds, you must return the  remaining amount. Any loan funds that you must return, you (or your parent for a PLUS Loan) repay in accordance with the terms of  the promissory note. That is, you make scheduled payments to the holder of the loan over a period of time. Any amount of unearned grant funds that you must return is called an overpayment. The maximum amount of a grant overpayment  that you must repay is half of the grant funds you received or were scheduled to receive. You must make arrangements with your  school or the Department of Education to return the unearned grant funds.

The requirements for Title IV program funds when you withdraw are separate from any Institutional Refund Policy that your school  may have. Therefore, you may still owe funds to the school to cover unpaid institutional charges. Your school may also charge you  for any Title IV program funds that the school was required to return.  

If the R2T4 calculation results in a credit balance on the student’s account, the credit balance will be disbursed no later than 14 days  after the R2T4 calculation.

Return of Funds by the School

The school will make the refund determination within thirty (30) days from the date of withdrawal/termination and return the  unearned funds for which the School is responsible as soon as possible, but no later than 45 days after the date of student  withdrawal/termination.  

The school must return the unearned aid for which the school is responsible by repaying funds to the following sources, in order, up  to the total net amount disbursed from each source.

* Unsubsidized Direct Loans

* Subsidized Direct Loans

* Direct Plus Loans

* FFEL / Direct Plus

* Pell Grant

SCHOOL DRESS CODE POLICY - DRESS YOUR TRUTH

Summit Salon Academy - Portland School has established a dress code for student hygienic safety and protection from  exposure to the hazardous chemical products used during the performance of assigned projects and services in the  classroom and the school salon classroom & clinic area. Noncompliance with these policies is a minor infraction.

• Students will wear a clean black apron at all times while performing chemical services on campus.
• Students must wear closed shoes at all times while on campus. This will provide foot and toe protection from  falling cutting tools or caustic chemical spills.
• Students' clothing damaged by tints, bleaches or other chemical products are the responsibility of the student.  Summit Salon Academy - Portland will not be liable for damage to any student garments.
• Students are provided with safety glasses and protective gloves for color application. These items of protective  equipment could be worn during hazardous chemical application or service. Contact an Instructor BEFORE  proceeding with the service.
• Appearance and clothing should be professional and not be disruptive to the educational process.
• If your appearance and clothing are not considered “professional attire” you will be sent home to change or  released for the day and may not return until the following school day.
• We define “professional attire” through one simple question “where are you dressed to work today?” If you are  in all vibrant colors and tell us you “are dressed to work at X salon that only has black clothing on their company  website” you will be asked to go home and change. If you are wearing a hat that is clean and classy and state that  you are dressed to work at barbershop X that has hat’s in their team photos you will be permitted to wear your  hat for the remainder of the day.

TIME CARD POLICY

• Your student time card is the official document for recording your clock hours. The school will assign you a pin  number for clocking in and clocking out at tablets which updates your timecard automatically, your picture is  automatically taken for verification purposes. No credit for clock hours or training will be granted without a valid  time card. It is the responsibility of each student to punch in and out using their pin. You will be provided a paper  timesheet to track your hours and help with any disputes with the time clock. These time sheets must be  maintained in a legible condition.  
• Due to insurance liability requirements, students must complete all admission requirements and sign an  enrollment agreement before they can enter training and be issued a time card.
• Earned hours will never be deducted for any reason; however, a student may be clocked out by a staff member  and asked to leave the school campus for any violation of the policies listed in this catalog. This action will result  in a counseling interview upon the student's return to school.
• To receive credit for the full hours of training during the week, a student must “clock in” to school no later than  the start of their schedule and “clock out” no earlier than the end of their schedule as written in the students  enrollment agreement.
• You may NOT clock another student “in” or “out”. If it is found that a student has punched another “in” or “out”  their enrollment will be terminated immediately. Neglect of this policy is considered an expulsion infraction.
• Students must inform a staff member of their arrivals or departures from the academy building, and clock in or  out. This notification includes arrivals and departures for lunch, breaks, and any personal appointments or family  emergencies.  
• Students who realize that they will be tardy or absent from school must text the office at 503-639-6106 and must do so 30 minutes before their scheduled start time. This will allow for their appointments to be moved or canceled before the scheduled patron arrives at  the academy. Any sms message, voicemail, or email sent after the required time for your schedule is recorded as a no-call/no-show as the  administrative line is not checked regularly after the last scheduled student arrival.  
• Students who plan to be ABSENT from school on a particular day or days must complete the pre-arranged absence  form on the student portal 24 hours prior to the date. The student must receive permission from the school staff  for it to be an excused absence. Even if this is an excused absence it will affect your attendance grade. Attendance  is calculated using your contracted minimum hours per week, any missed time from your contracted hours may  negatively impact your attendance percentage and/or grade. All other absences are unexcused. This does not override our policy for each student to call in 30 minutes prior to their scheduled start time  if they are going to be late or absent for the day.  Neglect of this policy is considered a minor infraction.
• Your attendance is essential for academic and professional skills achievement. It is the responsibility of each  student to attend all scheduled classes “ON TIME”. If a student has not arrived in their classroom by the scheduled  start time, the educational content is now the responsibility of the student.
