Accreditation means that a college has met national standards of educational performance which have been established by an impartial non-governmental agency. The accrediting of colleges by professional, national and regional associations of like colleges (colleges with similar objectives and subject content), has long characterized the American educational scene. Through the years, accreditation of colleges has been the most authoritative and reliable index of a college’s concern for integrity towards its students and quality education. This college is approved for accreditation by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS). While an accrediting agency is not part of the government, the US Department of Education has officially recognized several agencies. NACCAS is a nationally recognized accrediting agency under the provisions of Chapter 33, Title 38, US code and subsequent legislation. Since it is recognized by the Department of Education, certain students attending an accredited college may be entitled to participate in government programs of student financial aid. A college becomes accredited by formal action of the Commission. It bases its action on information submitted by the college and the reports of a specially appointed inspection team which has visited the college and evaluated it according to established standards. Accreditation does not mean that all colleges are the same. It does mean that they conform to a set of common minimum standards established by the Commission. These standards demonstrate a wide range of acceptability. No attempt is made by the Commission to determine relative excellence among accredited schools. Therefore, colleges are listed alphabetically by state. Colleges are re-evaluated at least once every five years. Continuation of accreditation depends on maintenance of the established standards. If a college fails to maintain the prescribe requirements, an interval of time is allowed for it to correct its deficiencies. If these deficiencies are not remedied during this interval accreditation is withdrawn. The commission meets three times each year to review colleges applying for accreditation or reaccreditation and may add new colleges to the accreditation or delete other from it. NACCAS is incorporated tin the state of Delaware as 501 © non-profit corporation. iii not your typical classroom experience. 12 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 General School Policies iii not your typical classroom experience. 13 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 Clocking Procedures Fort Wayne College Hours: Monday 3:00 pm – 9:30 pm Tuesday - Friday 9:00 am – 9:30 pm Saturday 9:00 am – 5:30 pm Kokomo College Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 9:00 am – 5:30 pm Time Cards/Name Tags: Each student is issued a name tag upon enrollment.

Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol causes marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause Respiratory depression and death. Of combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intakes is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening. Long - term consumption of large quantities to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation.

Leave of Absences Policy and Procedure Any student requesting a leave of absence from the institution must fill out a request for leave of absence form with the administrative office and submit it to the Educational Administrator or the Financial Aid Administrator. This must be done in advance of taking the leave of absence*. The request should be signed, dated by the student, contain the dates the student expects to be unable to attend school, and the reason for the request. All leave of absence requests must be approved by a school administrator. For the school to grant a leave of absence; the school must determine that there is a reasonable expectation of the student returning from the leave of absence. If the school cannot make this determination then the school reserves the right to deny the leave of absence. A student requesting a leave of absence must adhere to the following: A request for a leave of absence that is not medically necessary will be considered a personal leave and will be limited to no more than 5 school days. If the student has excessive absence hours then the leave can be denied by the institution. For medically necessary leave of absences the length of the leave of absence will be determined by a doctor or other authorized health care provider. The leave of absence, together with any additional leaves must not exceed a total of 180 days in any 12-month period. A request for a leave of absence must be in writing and submitted to the school director. The leave of absence time is not calculated in determining the student’s maximum time frame, time frame per week or satisfactory progress. *Except in the case of unforeseen circumstances that would prevent the student from doing so, such as a car accident or other similar event. In that case the necessary documents will be collected later. iii not your typical classroom experience. 23 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 Scheduled Evaluations Students are evaluated for satisfactory progress at scheduled intervals. The evaluations are at 450, 900, and 1350 hours for cosmetology; 150 and 300 hours for manicuring; 450 and 900 hours for instructor training; 300 and 600 hours for esthetics. Prior to these evaluations the educational needs of the students are reviewed and addressed in an effort to maintain a maximum level of satisfactory progress for the student body. Policy on Testing Tests for each chapter will be announced prior to the scheduled examination. Students must complete all required homework and the scores from that homework will be counted in the chapters overall grade Chapter tests must be taken during the regular class hour on the designated day of the assigned examination. Exams are to be passed with a score of 75% or higher for graduation requirements and satisfactory progress. A student may retake an exam to raise a failing score. When a student is absent, a missed exam is to be made up. Failed test must be made up within 3 days. If a test is retaken multiple times then all attempts are average until it results in a passing score. Students are expected to participate in repeated theory and exams as review in preparation for state board. Review test(s) must be made up if a student misses or skips class. Student Policy after 1500 Hours All student records are reviewed two (2) weeks prior to completing the required 1500 hours of instruction in the Cosmetology Program, 1000 hours in the Instructor Trainee Program, 900 hours in the Esthetics Program, or 600 hours in the Manicuring Program. Both the student and the instructor are aware that time that in order to fulfill graduation requirements the student must complete all hours, tests, projects, and the college pre-state examination within this two (2) week period. Whether full-time or part-time, each student is expected to complete all requirements within this two (2) week period and at the level required for satisfactory progress or better. If all requirements are not completed, the student then has thirty (30) days to finish his/her hours, projects, take necessary exams or make-up tests and make application for the state examination. Additionally, should the student not be in attendance for more than a thirty (30) day period during this final portion of their course, the student is considered a drop and must re-enroll to complete the program. If a student does not meet with these guidelines set out by the college, the college will at that time, totally dissolve its relationship with said student. The student will not be allowed to re-enroll or pay for additional instruction time. If the student desires furthering his/her course of study, he/she may be able to enroll with another college.

It is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students receive a copy prior to the first day of class. 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. Students receiving funds under any Federal Title IV financial aid program must maintain satisfactory progress in order to continue eligibility for such funds. Evaluation Periods Evaluations will take place at 450, 900, and 1200 hours for cosmetology; 150 and 300 hours for manicuring; 450 and 900 hours for instructor training; 300 and 600 hours for esthetics. Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have ample opportunity to meet both attendance and academic progress requirements of at least one evaluation by midpoint in the course. 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 for Courses Completion The maximum time (which does not exceed 133% of the course length) allowed for students to complete each course at satisfactory progress is stated below: Weeks Schedule Scheduled Hours 1500 hour cosmetology course * Full Time 49.87 weeks (40 hours per week) 1995 * Full Time 66.50 weeks (30 hours per week) 1995 * Part Time 99.75 weeks (20 hours per week) 1995 1000 hour instructor training course *Full Time 33.25 weeks (40 hours per week) *Full Time 44.33 weeks (30 hours per week) *Part Time 66.50 weeks (20 hours per week) 1330 1330 1330 900 hour esthetics training course *Full Time 39.90 weeks (30 hours per week) *Full Time 47.88 weeks (25 hours per week) *Part Time 59.85 weeks (20 hours per week) 1197 1197 1197 600 hour manicuring course *Full Time 26.60 weeks *Part Time 39.90 weeks 798 798 (30 hours per week) (20 hours per week) iii not your typical classroom experience. 30 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 Grading Scale * 90-100 * 85-89 * 80-84 * 75-79 * 0-74 Excellent Commendable Good Satisfactory Failing Academic Progress Evaluation A 75% overall average is the minimal acceptable level of satisfactory progress. Any student failing to maintain a 75% overall average will be required to use the undersigned hours of the course for extra study and make up work. They will receive extra work help from the instructors when deemed necessary. All areas evaluated consist of theory and practice training, attendance, personality traits, appearance, work habits, and conduct. Evaluation periods for academic purposes will be done at 450, 900, and 1350 hours for cosmetology; 150 and 300 hours for manicuring; 450 and 900 hours for instructor training; 300 and 600 hours for esthetics. These evaluation periods are based on the actual hours completed by the student. Students must maintain a 75% overall average in all areas in order to maintain satisfactory progress. Students who meet the minimum requirements for attendance and academic progress shall be considered making satisfactory progress as of the mid-point of the academic year, whichever comes first. 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 receive a hard-copy of their Satisfactory Progress Determination at the time of each of the evaluations. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Progress may have their Title IV Funding interrupted, unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of probation. Warning Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and considered to be making satisfactory 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 may be placed on probation and, if applicable, students may be deemed ineligible to receive Title IV funds. Probation Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period may be placed on probation and considered to be making satisfactory progress while during the first probationary period, if the student appeals the decision, and prevails upon appeal. Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the Satisfactory Progress Policy standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. 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 probationary period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory academic progress and, if applicable, students will not be deemed eligible to receive Title IV funds. Appeal Procedure If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory progress, the student may appeal the determination. The student must submit a written appeal to the school on the designated form with supporting documentation of the reasons why the determination should be reversed. A student may appeal for reasons such as a death in the family, an injury or illness, or other special circumstances. 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 iii not your typical classroom experience. 31 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 reviewed and a decision will be made and reported to the students 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. Re-establishment of Satisfactory Progress Students may re-establish satisfactory progress and Title IV aid, as applicable, by meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the probationary period. Students may have lost Title IV funding for the evaluation period in which they were not meeting minimum requirements for satisfactory progress and may need to find alternative methods for paying those charges. Interruptions and 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 the 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. Students that withdrawal from the school must apply to the school for re-entry and may be required to wait 90 days before applying for re-entry. It is at the discretion of the school as to whether a student may re-enter after a withdrawal from the program. Absences Upon entering this college, each student is allowed 10% of the total hours of attendance. Other than leaves of absence, this is all that is allowed. After a student’s hours have been used, the student will be subject to the schools excessive absent hour’s policy. Excessive Absent Hours Policy Students are allowed 10% of the contracted time in absent hours. For cosmetology that is 150 absent hours, instructor training is 100 hours, esthetics is 90 hours, and manicuring is 60 hours. Exceeding these absent hours will result in overtime charges and possible termination from the program. A student will be warned when they reach two-thirds of the allowed absences. For cosmetology this is 100 hours, instructor training is 67 hours, esthetics is 60 hours, and manicuring is 40 hours. When the student reaches the first warning period they will be required to create a plan of action to correct the attendance issue. If the student then reaches the second warning period by failure to follow the action plan or reaching 10% of the contracted time the student will have to appeal termination procedures before a committee of Rudae’s administration. The committee will hear the student’s case and inform the student of their decision within no more than 3 business days of the meeting. Course Incompletes, Repetition, and Non-Credit Remedial Work There will be no remedial course work, or incompletes offered at this institution. Therefore, these areas are not applicable in calculating student’s satisfactory progress. Transfer Hours Cosmetology - Students will receive full credits according to state law and results back from practical and written exams given by Rudae’s. We have a minimum enrollment of 900 hours of training time for cosmetology. Any exceptions to this policy will be handled at the discretion of the administration. 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 hours completed at the institution. Manicuring - We do not accept transfer students for the manicuring program. Esthetics - We do not accept transfer students for the esthetics program. iii not your typical classroom experience. 32 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 Instructor Training - We do not accept transfer students for the instructor training program.

Termination date for refund computation purpose is the last date of actual attendance by the student. Enrollment time is defined as the time elapsed between the actual starting date and the date of the student’s last day of physical attendance in the school. Any monies due, the applicant or student shall be refunded within 30 days of formal cancellation by the student as determined in item A, or formal termination by the school, which shall occur no more than 30 days from the last day of physical attendance, or in the case of a leave of absence the documented date of return or the date the student notifies the school of the withdrawal, whichever is earlier. If the school is permanently closed and no longer offers instruction after a student has enrolled, the student shall be entitled to a pro-rata refund of tuition. If a course is cancelled subsequent to a student’s enrollment, the school shall at its option: a. Provide a full refund of monies paid; or b. Provide completion of the course. In case of illness or disabling accident, death in the immediate family or other circumstances beyond the control of the student, the school will make a settlement, which is reasonable and fair to both.

RETURN OF UNEARNED TITLE IV FUNDS: Federal regulations have been enacted which state that students may forfeit a portion of their federal student financial assistance if they fail to complete the program of study in which they were enrolled. This policy affect students who: a. received or were eligible to receive federal financial assistance authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA), i.e. Federal Pell Grants, Federal SEOG awards, or Stafford, or Plus loans awarded under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) or Federal Direct Student Loan (FDSL) programs. b. on or after October 7, 2000, withdrew or were terminated from the institution during the first 60% of any payment period or period of enrollment. Payment periods are defined as: a quarter, trimester, semester, or X-number of clock or credit hours. Eligible Title IV aid recipients who fail to complete over 60% of a payment period or period of enrollment are considered to have not earned all of the federal aid that they may have previously been awarded for that payment period or period of enrollment. Accordingly, a required calculation will be performed to determine the portion of unearned federal student aid that must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education. This calculation will be done before a tuition refund calculation is performed in accordance with the institution’s refund policy. In many cases, the Return of Unearned Title IV Funds calculation will result in the student owing tuition and fees to the institution that would otherwise have been paid with federal student aid. This policy may also result in the student owing a refund of unearned federal student aid to the Department of Education. iii not your typical classroom experience. 34 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 RIGHT TO PRIVACY: FERPA POLICY In compliance with the Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act of 1974, Rudae’s School of Beauty Culture insures the release of personal information only on written instruction from the student; and/or parent or guardian (if student is a dependent). All inquiries in regards to a student’s record should be directed to the administrative offices. Release of information is done on a separate request for each single release to: parents, prospective employers, or pertinent agencies. The student understands their records will be maintained for at least seven (7) years. The student attests that the privacy act was explained to them on or prior to their first day of class. The student also understands that NACCAS and the Department of Education auditing agency will have access to the student files without prior consent from the student, parent or guardian. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) Home The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students." • Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies. • Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information. • Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31): School officials with legitimate educational interest; Other schools to which a student is transferring; Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; Accrediting organizations; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law. Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible iii not your typical classroom experience. 35 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school. For additional information, you may call 1-800-USA-LEARN (1-800-872-5327) (voice). Individuals who use TDD may call 1800-437-0833. Privacy of Student Information (FERPA Rules) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) sets limits on the disclosure of personally identifiable information from school records, and defines the rights of the student to review the records and request a change to the records. With exceptions such as those noted in this section, FERPA generally gives postsecondary students the right • to review their education records, • to seek to amend inaccurate information in their records, and • to provide consent for the disclosure of their records. These rules apply to all education records the school keeps, including admissions records (only if the student was admitted) and academic records as well as any financial aid records pertaining to the student. Therefore, the financial aid office is not usually the office that develops the school’s FERPA policy or the notification to students and parents, although it may have some input. Student’s & parents’ rights to review educational records Rudae’s will provide a student with an opportunity to review his or her education records within 45 days of the receipt of a request. The school is required to provide the student with copies of education records, or make other arrangements to provide the student access to the records, if a failure to do so would effectively prevent the student from obtaining access to the records. While the rights under FERPA have transferred from a student’s parents to the student when the student attends a postsecondary institution, FERPA does permit a school to disclose a student’s education records to his or her parents if the student is a dependent student under IRS laws. Note that the IRS definition of a dependent is quite different from that of a dependent student for FSA purposes. For IRS purposes, students are dependent if they are listed as dependents on their parent’s income tax returns. (If the student is a dependent as defined by the IRS, disclosure may be made to either parent, regardless of which parent claims the student as a dependent.) Prior written consent to disclose the student’s records Except under one of the special conditions described in this section, a student must provide written consent before an education agency or school may disclose personally identifiable information from the student’s education records. The written consent must— • state the purpose of the disclosure, • specify the records that may be disclosed, • identify the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure may be made, and • be signed and dated. If the consent is given electronically, the consent form must— • identify and authenticate a particular person as the source of the electronic consent, and • indicate that person’s approval of the information contained in the electronic consent. iii not your typical classroom experience. 36 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 The FERPA regulations include a list of exceptions where the school may disclose personally identifiable information from the student’s file without prior written consent. Disclosures to school officials Some of these disclosures may be made to officials at your school or another school who have a legitimate interest in the student’s records. Typically, these might be admissions records, grades, or financial aid records. Disclosure may be made to: • other school officials, including teachers, within the school whom the school has determined to have legitimate educational interests. • to officials of another postsecondary school or school system, where the student receives services or seeks to enroll. Disclosures to government agencies Disclosures may be made to authorized representatives of the U.S. Department of Education for audit, evaluation, and enforcement purposes. “Authorized representatives” includes employees of the Department—such as employees of the Office of Federal Student Aid, the Office of Postsecondary Education, the Office for Civil Rights, and the National Center for Education Statistics—as well as firms that are under contract to the Department to perform certain administrative functions or studies. In addition— • Disclosure may be made if it is in connection with financial aid that the student has received or applied for. Such a disclosure may only be made if the student information is needed to determine the amount of the aid, the conditions for the aid, the student’s eligibility for the aid, or to enforce the terms or conditions of the aid. • A school may release personally identifiable information on an F, J, or M nonimmigrant student to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service) in compliance with the Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) program without violating FERPA. Disclosures in response to subpoenas or court orders FERPA permits schools to disclose education records, without the student’s consent, in order to comply with a lawfully issued subpoena or court order. In most cases, the school must make a reasonable effort to notify the student who is the subject of the subpoena or court order before complying, so that the student may seek protective action. However, the school does not have to notify the student if the court or issuing agency has prohibited such disclosure. A school may also disclose information from education records, without the consent or knowledge of the student, to representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice in response to an ex parte order issued in connection with the investigation of crimes of terrorism. Documenting the disclosure of information Except as noted below, school must keep a record of each request for access and each disclosure of personally identifiable student information. The record must identify the parties who requested the information and their legitimate interest in the information. This record must be maintained in the student’s file as long as the educational records themselves are kept. iii not your typical classroom experience. 37 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 Safety, First Aid iii not your typical classroom experience. 39 rudae’s SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 5317 Coldwater Road ~ Fort Wayne, IN 46825-5444 ~ 260.483.2466 or 800.878.9744 208 West Jefferson Street ~ Kokomo, IN 46901-4516 ~ 765.459.4197 or 800.466.9744 Evacuations There are maps in the classrooms.
