RETURN TO TITLE IV/REFUND REPAYMENTS POLICY
This policy applies to all recipients of Federal Title IV Financial Aid Funds when Mission Beauty
College becomes eligible. Students that are no longer attending the College may still owe funds to
Mission Beauty College to cover unpaid tuition. Additionally, the College may attempt to collect any
funds from a Student that the Mission Beauty College was required to return as a result of this policy.
Mission Beauty College is required to calculate how much federal aid may be retained or disbursed for a
Student who withdraws prior to the end of a payment period. The calculated amount is referred to as
"Return of Title IV Funds" R2T4), the calculation of Title IV funds earned by the Student has no
relationship to the Student’s tuition and fees that may be owed to Mission Beauty College. All Students
subject to this policy are determined according to the following definitions and procedures, as prescribed
by regulation.
Mission Beauty College has 45 days from the date the College determines that the Students withdrew to
return all unearned funds for which it is responsible. Mission Beauty College will notify the Student in
writing of the amount of funds that must be returned. Mission Beauty College will advise the Student
and/or parent that they have 14 calendar days from the date Mission Beauty College sent the notification
to accept a post-withdrawal disbursement for funds that have not been disbursed but are eligible to be
used for tuition and fees. If a response is not received from the Student and/or parent within the permitted
time frame or the Student declines the funds, Mission Beauty College will return any earned funds being
held from Title IV programs. All post-withdrawal disbursement must occur within 90 days of the date the
Student withdrew.
CALCULATING R2T4
Title IV funds are earned in a prorated manner on a per diem clock hours basis up to the 60% point in the
payment period. Title IV aid is viewed as 100% earned after that point in time. The school is required to
determine the earned and unearned Title IV aid as of the date the student ceased attendance based on the
amount of time the student was scheduled to be in attendance. In accordance with federal regulations,
when Title IV financial aid is involved, the calculated amount of the R2T4 Funds is allocated in the
following order: Unsubsidized Direct Loans, Subsidized Direct Loans, Direct PLUS loans followed by
Federal Pell Grants. The calculation steps are outlined in the following example:
Calculate the percentage of Title IV aid earned:
HOURS SCHEDULED TO COMPLETE
TOTAL HOURS IN PERIOD = % EARNED
a) Divide the number of clock hours scheduled to be completed in the payment period as of the
last date of attendance in the payment period by the total clock hours in the payment period.
b) If this percentage is greater than 60%, the student earns 100%.
c) If this percent is less than or equal to 60%, proceeds with calculation.
Percentage earned from (multiplied by) Total aid disbursed, or could have been disbursed = AMOUNT
STUDENT EARNED
Subtract the Title IV aid earned from the total disbursed = AMOUNT TO BE RETURNED.
100% minus percent earned = UNEARNED PERCENT
Unearned percent (multiplied by) total institutional charges for the period = AMOUNT DUE FROM THE
SCHOOL.
If the percent of Title IV aid disbursed is greater than the percent unearned (multiplied by) institutional
charges for the period, the amount disbursed will be used in place of the percent unearned. If the percent
unearned (multiplied by) institutional charges for the period are less than the amount due from the school,
the student must return or repay one-half of the remaining unearned Federal Pell Grant. Student is not
required to return the overpayment if this amount is equal to or less than 50% of the total grant assistance
that was disbursed /or could have been disbursed. The student is also not required to return an
overpayment if the amount is $50 or less. Mission Beauty College will issue a grant overpayment notice
Published: 01.07.2016

to student within 30 days from the date the school’s determination that student withdrew, giving student
45 days to either:
Repay the overpayment in full to Mission Beauty College or Sign a repayment agreement with the U.S.
Department of Education.
POST WITHDRAWAL DISBURSEMENT
If a Student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the institution may owe the Student a postwithdrawal disbursement which must be paid as soon as possible but no later than 90 days from the date
Mission Beauty College determined the Student withdrew for loans and no later than 45 days from the
date Mission Beauty College determined the Student withdrew for grants. Mission Beauty College is
required to notify the Student in writing within 30 days of the date it determined that the Student
withdrew that he/she is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV loan funds. However, if
the Student (or parent in the case of a PLUS loan) is eligible to receive a post-withdrawal disbursement of
loan funds, the Student or parent borrower must first confirm in writing whether he/she accepts/declines
all or some of the loan funds offered as a post-withdrawal disbursement. A post-withdrawal disbursement
of Federal grant funds does not require Student acceptance or approval and the grant funds may be
applied directly to the Student's account in order to satisfy tuition and fees, or to the Student. Mission
Beauty College will seek the Student's authorization to use a post-withdrawal disbursement for all other
educationally-related charges in addition to tuition and fees. Mission Beauty College is required to return
the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 45 days after the Date of the
Determination of the date of the Student's withdrawal.
OVERPAYMENTS
Any amount of unearned grant funds that a Student must return directly is called an overpayment. The
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 the Mission Beauty College and/or the
Department of Education to return the unearned grant funds failure to do so will result in no additional
Title IV aid.
WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL
A student may withdraw from school at any time by notifying the school of the intended withdrawal. If
the student does not notify the school, the date of determination would be 14 days after the student’s last
day of attendance unless the student is on an approved Leave of Absence. A Termination Fee of $150
shall be paid when a student officially or unofficially withdraws.
Student Official Withdrawal

LEAVE OF ABSENCE
If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence (LOA), the Student will return to Mission
Beauty College in the same progress status as prior to the LOA. Hours elapsed during a LOA will extend
the Student’s contract period by the same number of days taken in the LOA and will not be included in
the Student's cumulative attendance percentage calculation. Students who fail to return from an LOA will
have an Unofficial Withdrawal on the date they were scheduled to return from the LOA will be used for
the Cancellation & Refund Policy and RT24 calculations. The LOA is approved for a minimum of 30
days at a time and may not exceed 180 days total of the course length. All students have to sign a
form in order to be approved by the school officer and will continue making their monthly
payment. If payments are not made consistently during the 3 months of LOA student will be
dropped. If school does not receive three continuous months of payment (even with leave of
absence) students will be dropped with no prior notification.
EXCUSED AND UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
Students are responsible to notify the school if they are planning to be absence. Only excused
absences will be waived only for the following reasons: family death, illness, and pregnancy,
personal. Written proofs are required. Unexcused absences will not be tolerated and students will

THE MISSION BEAUTY COLLEGE’S RESPONSIBILITIES IN REGARDS TO R2T4
Disbursement of Funds
When a recipient of Title IV grant or loan assistance withdraws from an institution during a payment
period or period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, the institution must determine the
amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date. For
Our Institution that is required to take attendance the last day of attendance is the withdrawal date.
WITHDRAWAL BEFORE 60%
Mission Beauty College must perform a R2T4 to determine the amount of earned aid up through the 60%
point in each payment period and use the Department of Education’s prorate schedule to determine the
amount of R2T4 funds the Student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point in the
payment period or period of enrollment, a Student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds he or she was
scheduled to receive during the period.
WITHDRAWAL AFTER 60%
For a Student who withdraws after the 60% point-in-time, there are no unearned funds. However,
Mission Beauty College still calculates eligibility for a post-withdrawal disbursement.
Hours Earned
The earned amount of Title IV grant or loan earned is determined by dividing the scheduled hours thru
last day attended by the hours in the payment period. If the student has completed more than 60% of the
payment period, 100% of the funds are earned. Failure to respond within 14 days, no disbursement will be
made. A post-withdrawal exists when the student is eligible to receive funds but the funds have not been
disbursed when the student withdraws. A letter of notification is sent to the student when funds are
returned either to the Loan Program or to the parent in case of a PLUS loan. The notification must be
clear that if the student or parent do not respond to the notification, within time frame, the school is not
required to make the post-withdraw disbursement. If a student or parent submits a timely response
accepting all or a portion of a post withdraw disbursement, per the student’s or parent’s instructions, the
school must disburse the funds within 120 days of the date of the institution’s determination that the
student withdrew.

Grant Overpayments
The application regulation requires that the students repay only 50% of the initial amount of any Title IV
Grant funds. Within 45 days of determining that the student who withdrew must repay all or part of the
Title IV grant, a school must notify the student within 30 days that he or she must repay the overpayment
or make satisfactory arrangements to repay it. In its notification a school must inform the student that:
1. The student owes any overpayment of Title IV funds.
2. The student’s eligibility for additional Title IV funds will end if the student fails to take a positive
action by the 45th day following the date the school sent or was required to send notification to the
student.

The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements or parttime students will be determined based on 67% of the scheduled contracted hours.
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 (the computer system will reflect completion of the practical assignment as a 100%
rating). 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 must maintain a written grade average of 76% and
pass a FINAL written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed
tests and incomplete assignments. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:
QUALITATIVE REQUIREMENT
The following grading scale is used to by the College:
90 - 100 EXCELLENT - A
80-89 VERY GOOD - B
76 - 79 SATISFACTORY - C
75 BELOW STANDARDS – UNSATISFACTORY
DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS STATUS
Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are
considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation, students will
sign and return back to office. Determination is at the time of each of the evaluations. Students deemed
not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress after first warning may have their Title IV Funding
interrupted, unless the student has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of probation.
WARNING
Students not meeting the minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress at any actual
hour increment evaluation will be placed on written warning. The student will be advised in
writing and verbally by a staff member of the necessary steps to follow in order to meet SAP at
the next scheduled evaluation. If at the end of the warning period, the student is not making
Satisfactory Academic Progress, the student may be placed on Probation at the next scheduled
actual hour increment (see Probation).
PROBATION
Students who fail to meet the minimum requirements for attendance or
Academic progress after the Warning period will be placed on probation if:
The institution evaluates the student’s progress and determines that the student did not make
satisfactory academic progress during the warning or previous evaluation; and
on probation: and
subsequent evaluation period; or
Published: 01.07.2016

student is able to meet the institution’s satisfactory academic progress requirements by a specific
point within the maximum timeframe established for the individual student.
RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Students may re-establish satisfactory academic progress and Title IV aid, as applicable, by meeting
minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the warning or probationary period.
INTERRUPTIONS, COURSE INCOMPLETES, WITHDRAWALS
If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the
same 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 same number of 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.
APPEAL PROCEDURE
If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory academic progress, the student may appeal the
determination within ten calendar days. 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 on the designated form
describing why they failed to meet satisfactory academic progress standards, along 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 them 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 documents will be retained
in the student file. If the student prevails upon appeal, the satisfactory academic progress determination
will be reversed and federal financial aid will be reinstated, if applicable.
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.
NON-CREDIT, REMEDIAL COURSES, REPETITION
Noncredit, remedial courses, and repetitions do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have
no effect upon the school’s satisfactory academic progress standards.

cash salary of $22,023 or $10.59 per hour. The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate--50
percent of workers earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
Provide beauty services, such as shampooing, cutting, coloring, and styling hair, and massaging and
treating scalp. May also apply makeup, dress wigs, perform hair removal, and provide nail and skin care
services.
Physical Demands of the Profession
The successful practice of cosmetology usually requires careful eye and hand coordination. Cosmetologist
and Cosmetology Instructors most often work at least 8 hours per day, most of the time on their feet and
with their arms extended performing, or demonstrating and correcting practical services.
Such work requires some physical strength and stamina. Persons suffering from back, leg or joint
ailments should consult a physician to see if they are physically able to meet these requirements.
In addition, working both fields requires continuous exposure to a wide variety of hair and skin treating
chemicals. Persons with allergies of any kind or sensitive skin or eye should consult a physician to see if
chemical sensitivity many prohibit them from engaging in the profession.
In particular, prospective students who are pregnant should consult a physician to see if they can meet
practical work requirements of the curriculum including chemical exposure before enrolling.
Safety Requirements
Working in the field of cosmetology presents its own dangers to students, cosmetologists and instructors.
Safety requirements of the profession generally fall into three broad areas: Sanitation, chemical safety,
and physical safety (Please note: the following tips will be expanded upon during your course of study—
should you elect to become a student—and are not intended to be exhaustive).
1. Sanitation
Practitioners or students of cosmetology must keep their work areas and instruments sanitized and
in good working order at all time. Failure to do so exposes both the practitioner or student and
client to the dangers of disease or injury caused by infected or malfunctioning equipment.
It is particularly important in light of the threat of AIDS and the fact that cosmetology involves
work with instruments that practitioners and students maintain their implements in a clean and
safe manner. Any blood drawn by a cut or scrape should never be touched by exposed flesh in the
course of administering first aid, and the offending instrument should be thoroughly inspected,
cleaned of nay body fluids and sanitized as soon as possible after the accident.
Failure to sanitize instruments properly also exposes the student, practitioner, or client to a wide
variety of other diseases or parasites, such as ringworm or other fungus infections, head lice, etc.
2. Chemical Safety
Cosmetology work involves the use and/or exposure to a wide variety of chemical products.
Cosmetology students and practitioners are required to familiarize themselves with and follow the
manufacturer’s directions for proper use, to observe the manufacturer’s precautions regarding the
use of the product, and to consult with clients or patrons regarding any previous difficulties with
the service or special needs.
In particular, cosmetology chemical products should never be placed in unlabeled containers, near
any food storage area, nor left in place where children can have access to them.
3. Physical Safety
The requirements for physical safety are the most obvious, but quiet often the most overlooked.
Published: 01.07.2016
29
In general, all equipment should be well maintained and never used to perform any task for which
it was not designed. In addition, cosmetology implements are not toys and should not be treated
as such. No horseplay or carelessness in the use of implements can be tolerated. Cosmetology
implements should never be left where children have access to them.

Skin Care Specialists working in Personal Care Services in Texas Statewide can expect to earn median
cash salary of $26,244 or $12.62 per hour. The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate--50
percent of workers earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more. Half of the people in
this job earn between $20,563 ($9.89 per hour) and $36,215 ($17.41 per hour) (i.e., between the 25th and
75th percentiles). An entry level worker can expect to earn $17,870 ($8.59 per hour) while an experienced
worker can expect to earn $35,548 ($17.09 per hour).
Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly wage by a "year-round, full-time" hour’s
figure of 2080 hours. For those occupations where there is not an hourly wage published, the annual wage
has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.
These estimates are based on 63 mail surveys of establishments in the area taken through November,
2009 and have a relative standard error of 5.71%. The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the
reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate
Job Duties and Responsibilities
Provide skin care treatments to face and body to enhance an individual's appearance.
Physical Demands of the Profession
The successful practice of esthetics usually requires careful eye and hand coordination. Esthetics most
often work at least 8 hours per day, most of the time on their feet and with their arms extended
performing, or demonstrating and correcting practical services.
Such work requires some physical strength and stamina. Persons suffering from back, leg or joint
ailments should consult a physician to see if they are physically able to meet these requirements.
In addition, working both fields requires continuous exposure to a wide variety of skin treating chemicals.
Persons with allergies of any kind or sensitive skin or eye should consult a physician to see if chemical
sensitivity many prohibit them from engaging in the profession.
In particular, prospective students who are pregnant should consult a physician to see if they can meet
practical work requirements of the curriculum including chemical exposure before enrolling.
Safety Requirements
Working in the field of skin care presents its own dangers to students, and estheticians. Safety
requirements of the profession generally fall into three broad areas: Sanitation, chemical safety, and
physical safety (Please note: the following tips will be expanded upon during your course of study—
should you elect to become a student—and are not intended to be exhaustive):
1. Sanitation
Practitioners or students of esthetics must keep their work areas and instruments sanitized and in
good working order at all time. Failure to do so exposes both the practitioner or student and client
to the dangers of disease or injury caused by infected or malfunctioning equipment.
It is particularly important in light of the threat of AIDS and the fact that esthetics involves work
with instruments that practitioners and students maintain their implements in a clean and safe
manner. Any blood drawn by a cut or scrape should never be touched by exposed flesh in the
course of administering first aid, and the offending instrument should be thoroughly inspected,
cleaned of nay body fluids and sanitized as soon as possible after the accident.
Failure to sanitize instruments properly also exposes the student, practitioner, or client to a wide
variety of other diseases or parasites, such as ringworm or other fungus infections, head lice, etc.

2. Chemical Safety
Esthetics work involves the use and/or exposure to a wide variety of chemical products.
Esthetic’s students and practitioners are required to familiarize themselves with and follow the
manufacturer’s directions for proper use, to observe the manufacturer’s precautions regarding the
use of the product, and to consult with clients or patrons regarding any previous difficulties with
the service or special needs.
In particular, skin care chemical products should never be placed in unlabeled containers, near
any food storage area, nor left in place where children can have access to them.
3. Physical Safety
The requirements for physical safety are the most obvious, but quiet often the most overlooked.
In general, all equipment should be well maintained and never used to perform any task for which
it was not designed.
In addition, esthetics implements are not toys and should not be treated as such. No horseplay or
carelessness in the use of implements can be tolerated. Esthetics implements should never
be left where children have access to them.
Course Objective: The primary purpose of this course is to prepare students to render quality skin care
services to clients as well as inform them of basic theories and principles of the profession by using both
academic learning and hands on practical experience. The students are educated in structures and function
of the skin, bones, nutrition, removal of superfluous hair, sanitation, disinfection, sterilization, sales of
retail products, electricity, product knowledge and chemistry, professional ethics & business within the
industry. Minimum course length, as mandated by the state of Texas is 750 clock hours.
