An Incredible Career…

Prepare yourself for a future in one of the fastest growing professions in the United States. As the awareness of
health, wellness and ageless beauty become an integral part of peoples’ lives; the demand for highly skilled
licensed professionals to provide such services is rapidly growing.
It takes a unique individual to incorporate knowledge and skill with passion and care to become a successful
professional in the beauty industry. The Aesthetic Science institute will take the person with the desire and turn
them into the professional with success.
Licensed estheticians are trained to perform facial and body treatments that will pamper and relax as well as
effect the condition and appearance of the skin. The use of specialized products and ingredients in conjunction
with certain techniques and equipment will guarantee visible results of healthy skin.
The Aesthetic Science Institute has graduated professionals in upstate NY, and beyond. Many of our students
have opened their own spas and skin care clinics, while others have flourished in spas and medical settings,
health facilities, sales and marketing; and training and education.
A specialized license in hair removal allows a technician to perform waxing services to remove unwanted hair
from the face and body for “aesthetic” purposes or medical reasons.
The Nail Specialty License is a perfect addition to an esthetic or waxing license; as well as providing for a
lucrative career on its’ own. Nail Specialist perform natural and artificial nail care services on the hands and the
feet. Licensed Nail Specialists are in high demand in specialty nail salons, salons, spas and even in medical
offices.
Choosing a career in skin care offers a host of opportunities. From hands on skill and building a business to
teaching, training or competing, a career as a professional esthetician can be what-ever one chooses to make it!
At the Aesthetic Science Institute it’s all about where you’re going!

Welcome
to my dream…
Nothing brings me more satisfaction than to give to you my knowledge, passion and success in hopes that you
too will grasp the multitude
of opportunities that the esthetics profession
has to offer.
It has always been my goal to provide an educational environment for estheticians to
have an institution in which they could learn
the basics, perfect the skills, embrace the opportunities and surpass even their own expectations of what a skin
care professional
can be.
The last several years have allowed me to adapt, perfect and grow into a place that can deliver those goals.
On that note, I give to you your future, the Aesthetic Science Institute, and my promise,
to provide you with an education that will prepare you for your future as a professional esthetician.
Welcome.

Career Counseling
Career counseling is stressed throughout the course in the areas of personal grooming and hygiene, and good
posture. Also stressed throughout the course is communication with others both verbal and non-verbal. Areas
that are discussed both in class and on a one-to-one basis are the different specialized fields; one may go into,
such as an esthetician, nail technician or waxing specialist in a spa or salon; training, sales and education for a
product manufacturer or manager technician
Physical Demands
There are many factors to consider when deciding upon choosing an esthetics career, such as physical health.
Estheticians usually work on an appointment basis, and as a clientele builds, days may become busy and hectic.
Not only are you working with your hands and arms, but may be sitting or standing in the same position for
great lengths of time.

Job Demand In Esthetic/Related Fields
Since 1990, NACCAS has commissioned several Job Demand Surveys, to provide quantitative data on
cosmetology careers, earnings potential, and job openings. The most recent survey, completed in May 2007,
compiles data from 6,203 salons responding to a national survey. The survey indicates that the demand for well
trained professionals in the beauty industry outstrips the supply. The NACCAS Survey results indicate that
salons in New York plan to hire 22,803 new employees in the next twelve months. The average annual salary
for a salon professional in New York is $36,452. This amount does not include tips and gratuities. Nationally,
the average salon professional’s salary is $35,973. As of January 2007, there were 129,013 professionals
employed at New York’s 23,741 salons. 71% of salons in the state are employer-owned, and 5% are boothrental salons. The other 24% are a combination of the two. 63% of New York salons are classified by their
owners as full-service salons; 18% are listed as haircutting salons. Barbershops make up 3% of the total.
Nationally, 58% of salons are listed as full-service, meaning that Washington has a higher percentage of
specialized establishments.
The U.S. Department of Labor provides current (2010) job information at http://www.careerinfonet.org. This

Policy On Evaluating The Validity Of High School Diplomas
Regulation 34 CFR 668.16 (p) requires Title IV schools to establish policies and procedures to confirm the
authenticity of high school diplomas in the event that the school or the Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Education has reason to question the validity of a student’s high school diploma.
The Aesthetic Science Institute may require further documentation in the form of a certified copy of final high
school transcripts for the high school in question or information from a company that evaluates foreign
diplomas (in the case of a foreign diploma). Student self-certification is NOT considered sufficient proof of
validity.
In addition to checking online for further information about the school issuing the diploma and its accreditation,
the school may also contact the Department of Education in the state in which the diploma was issued to
determine if the school listed on the diploma is on the state list of recognized schools.
The school maintains a list of known diploma mills for the admissions staff to check when receiving a diploma
from an unknown and questionable source. It is understood that this list may not be all inclusive as there are
hundreds of diploma mills some known and some not currently known. It is also understood that the list of
schools in the FAFSA drop down box online also may not be all inclusive.
The school makes every reasonable effort to verify the validity of questionable high school diplomas.
Students with Disabilities Policy
The Aesthetic Science Institute complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990; the school facility
is wheelchair accessible. The Aesthetic Science Institute does not offer a Comprehensive Transition
Postsecondary Program for students with intellectual disabilities.
Cost of Attendance Budgets (COA)
In order to determine a student’s level of loan funding, the Department of Education requires us to develop
annual cost of attendance budgets. These budgets include an average allowance for room and board,
transportation, miscellaneous, loan fees and if applicable child care and expenses related to disability. The
following are standard monthly allowances that make up the cost of attendance budgets for the year 2013/2014:
Campus Crime Statistics & Security Information
Information detailing campus crime statistics is provided at the time of enrollment and is also made available on
the web site
Drug Abuse Prevention
The school actively supports the prevention of drug abuse. Upon enrollment, students are provided the school’s
policy on drug and alcohol abuse. A list of agencies and counselors is also available on the state website for
personal assistance and is available to any student requesting assistance.
21
OSHA Requirements
In compliance with United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration
requirements, the school advises its students of the chemicals used in cosmetology/related training. During the
course work the student learns about the importance of safety in the work place and how to use and follow the
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemicals used in cosmetology or related training. During each unit of
study, students are apprised of the various chemicals used and safe practices that apply. A complete file
containing Material Safety Data Sheets for the chemicals used is available in the administrative office. The
school endeavors to facilitate a safe environment for staff and students by teaching the proper and safe use of
equipment, tools, and products. The school does not assume responsibility for injuries resulting from improper
or unsafe use of equipment, tools, or products.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
Evaluation Periods
Students, in all programs are evaluated, and receive a copy, for Satisfactory Academic Progress as follows:
Esthetics
300 Scheduled Hours
Nails
125 Scheduled Hours
Waxing
37 Scheduled Hours
Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress.
The evaluation ensures that students have opportunities to meet both the attendance and academic progress
requirements by midpoint in the course.
Attendance Progress Evaluations
Students are required to attend a minimum of 90% 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. Evaluations
are based on the cumulative attendance percentage as of the last day of the month of the evaluation period. The
attendance percentage is determined by dividing the total hours accrued by the total number of hours scheduled.
The students start month in school will be counted as the first month of the evaluation period. For partial
months, scheduled hours will be calculated by multiplying the number of scheduled days by the number of
hours scheduled each day. At the end of each evaluating period, the school will determine if the student has
maintained at least 90% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicated that, given the
same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed.
Determination of Progress Status
Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are
considered to be making satisfactory progress until the next scheduled evaluation. In order for a student to be
considered making satisfactory academic progress as of course midpoint, the student must meet both attendance
and academic requirements on at least one evaluation by midpoint of the course.
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 the text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must
maintain a written grade average of 70% to maintain satisfactory academic progress; and pass a FINAL written
and practical exam prior to graduation. Missed tests may only be made up with an excused medical note.

Probation
During probation students are not considered to be making satisfactory progress unless an appeal has been
granted. 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* as well as possible dismissal from the program.
If the institution determines that SAP can be achieved by the end of the probationary period, Title IV funds may
be retained. A specific plan of action will be determined. In this situation, students will be notified of status and
possible loss of Title IV funds.
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 probationary period.
24
Noncredit and Remedial Courses
Noncredit and remedial courses do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon the
schools satisfactory progress standards.
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 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 withdrawal prior to completion of the
course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as the time of the
withdrawal.
Appeal Procedure
If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory academic progress, the student may appeal the
determination at the time of negative progress 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, such as: death of a relative, an injury or illness of the student, or other allowable special
circumstances.. Appeal must include documentation supporting non compliance with SAP and changes in the
students situation to allow them to meet SAP at the next evaluation period.
Appeal documents will be reviewed and a decision will be made and reported to the student within 30 calendar
days. The appeal, decision documents and academic plan 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.
Graduation Requirements
The graduation requirements for all courses are as follows: 1) Completed the required hours of training within
the maximum time frame allowed. 2) Maintain satisfactory progress requirements per the criteria of the
Satisfactory Progress Policy. 3) Take a final examination on practical procedures, and a final written
examination-- having a score of not less than 70 %. 4) Fulfill all financial obligations to the school. 5)
Completion of an exit interview and required exit paperwork. UPON GRADUATION A DIPLOMA WILL BE
AWARDED. Certification of hours will not be provided until all tuition charges have been paid in full.
Termination/Withdrawl
The school may terminate a student prior to the completion of their program for one or more of the following:
1) Insufficient academic progress. 2) Not fulfilling financial obligations to the school. 3) Failure to comply
with the rules and regulations of the school. 4) Failure to comply with the Tardy/Attendance policy of the
school. 5) Insubordination. 6) after 10 consecutive school days of absence or 7) in the case of a leave of
absence on the documented date of return if the student does not return.
Previously Earned Credits
The Aesthetic Science Institute does not accept clock hours or transfer credits from other institutions.
Re-Entry Policy
In the event that a student is dismissed or willingly discontinues a program at The Aesthetic Science Institute they must
re-apply, as a new student starting at the beginning of the program. Previous hours earned will not be applied.
25
* Your instructor is responsible for implementation of the school’s satisfactory progress policy. The Aesthetic
Science Institute determines if a student is making satisfactory progress according to policy with clinic, testing,
and attendance requirements
Federal Assistance Programs
The school is approved as an eligible institution by the U. S. Department of Education to participate in Title IV
grant and loan programs. The packaging of financial assistance is determined according to guidelines set by the
US Department of Education. A variety of programs are available for students qualifying for assistance:
Federal Grants:
Federal Pell Grant: Intended to be the basis of the financial aid package and may be combined with other aid to
meet the full cost of attendance. The Federal Pell Grant is a need based aid program in which an eligible
recipient does not have to repay the funds received.
Federal Student Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG): An additional grant available only to Pell eligible
students who meet the schools predetermined criteria. 75% of the award is contributed by the Federal
Government and the other 25% is contributed by the school.
Federal Direct Loan Program:
These are low interest loans for undergraduate and graduate students that are made available through the
Federal Government. This program includes the Federal Direct Subsidized, Federal Direct Unsubsidized and
Federal Direct Plus loans. There are grade level progressions and loan limits used for the administration of
these loans.
The following Direct Loans are made through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program,
which is administered by the U.S. Department of Education:
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan: This is a need-based-loan for which the Federal government subsidizes the
interest until repayment begins and during any period of deferment. This is a loan and recipients must begin
making payments at the end of their six-month grace period.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: This is a non-need-based loan for which the Federal Government does not
pay the interest subsidy. Interest accrues during all periods. The recipient has the option to pay the interest or
to defer payment of the interest for the grace period. This is known as capitalization. This is a loan and
recipients must begin making payments at the end of their six-month grace period.
Federal Direct Plus Loan: This loan is available to parents of dependent undergraduate students to help pay for
the cost of the dependent’s education. Borrowers of PLUS Loans are required to undergo a credit check by the
lending institution. The definition of a “parent” for PLUS Loan eligibility is a student’s biological, adoptive or
step-parent in the event that person’s income would have been taken into consideration when calculating the
student’s expected family contribution (EFC). Interest is charged during all periods.
26
Entrance and Exit Counseling:
Students receiving Federal Direct Loans must complete a Student Loan Entrance Counseling prior to
disbursement of funds and a Student Loan Exit Counseling within 30 days of graduating or withdrawing from
school.
Title IV Credit Balances:
Tuition and fees are charged by academic year. Federal student aid is received by payment periods. Generally
there are two payment periods in a full academic year. When Title IV funds received for the academic year are
greater than the charges for the academic year, a credit balance is created on the student’s account. This credit
balance will be refunded to the student (or parent in the case of a Parent PLUS loan), within 14 calendar days of
the credit balance being created on the student’s account.
Verification
Students selected by the U.S. Department of Education for the process of verification are frequently required to
submit additional information and/or parents’ financial & household information to the finance office. The
verification procedures will be conducted as follows:
1. When selected by the U.S. Department of Education for the process of verification, the student must submit
all required documentation to the finance office within 10 days from the date the student is notified that the
additional documentation is needed for this process.
2. If the student does not provide all of the required documentation within the 10 day time frame, the student
will be required to make other payment arrangements until the documentation is received and the student’s
eligibility for federal student aid has been established.
Return of TitleIV Funds
The law specifies how a school must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that a student earns if
he/she withdraws from school. The Title IV programs that are covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants,
Academic Competitiveness Grants, National SMART Grants, TEACH Grants, Direct Student Loans, PLUS
Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs), and Federal Perkins Loans.
When a student withdraws during the payment period the amount of Title IV program assistance that he/she has
earned up to that point is determined by a specific formula. If the student received (or the school or parent
received on the student’s behalf) less assistance than the amount that the student earned, the student may be able
to receive those additional funds. If the student received more assistance than he/she earned, the excess funds
must be returned by the school and/or the student.
The amount of assistance that the student has earned is determined on a pro-rata basis. For example, if the
student completed 30% of the scheduled hours in their payment period, the student earns 30% of the assistance
he/she was originally scheduled to receive. Once the student has completed more than 60% of the scheduled
hours in his/her payment period, the student earns all the assistance that he/she was scheduled to receive for that
period.
If the student did not receive all of the funds that he/she earned, the student may be due a Post-withdrawal
disbursement. If the Post-withdrawal disbursement includes loan funds, the school must get the student’s
27
permission before it can disburse them. The student may choose to decline some or all of the loan funds so that
he/she doesn’t incur additional debt. The school may automatically use all or a portion of the Post-withdrawal
disbursement of grant funds for tuition, fees, and room and board charges (as contracted with the school). The
school needs the student’s permission to use the Post-withdrawal grant disbursement for all other school
charges. If the student does not give his/her permission (some schools ask for this when upon enrollment), the
student will be offered the funds. However, it may be in the student’s best interest to allow the school to keep
the funds to reduce his/her debt at the school.
There are some Title IV funds that the student was scheduled to receive that cannot be disbursed to him/her
upon withdrawal because of other eligibility requirements. For example, if the student is a first-time, first-year
undergraduate student and has not completed the first 30 days of the program before withdrawal, the student
will not receive any Direct loan funds that they would have received had they remained enrolled past the 30th
day. If the student receives (or the school or parent receives on their behalf) excess Title IV program funds that
must be returned, the school must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of: the institutional charges
multiplied by the unearned percentage of the student’s funds, or the entire amount of excess funds. The school
must return this amount even if it didn’t keep this amount of the student’s Title IV program funds. If the school
is not required to return all of the excess funds, the student must return the remaining amount. Any loan funds
that the student must return, he/she (or the parent for a PLUS Loan) repay in accordance with the terms of the
promissory note. That is, the student makes scheduled payments to the holder of the loan over a period of time.
Any amount of unearned grant funds that the student must return is called an overpayment. The maximum
amount of a grant overpayment that must be repaid is half of the grant funds the student received or were
scheduled to receive. The student must make arrangements with the school or the Department of Education to
return the unearned grant funds.
The requirements for Title IV program funds when a student withdraws are separate from any Institutional
Refund Policy that the school may have. Therefore, the student may still owe funds to the school to cover
unpaid institutional charges. The school may also charge for any Title IV program funds that the school was
required to return.
If a student has questions about his/her Title IV program funds, he/she can call the Federal Student Aid
Information Center at 1-800-4-FEDAID (1-800-433-3243). TTY users may call 1-800-730-8913. Information is
also available on Student Aid on the Web at www.studentaid.ed.gov.
3. The finance office reserves the right to make exceptions to the policy stated above on a case by case basis
for extenuating circumstances.
The finance office will notify the student of any changes to their financial aid award resulting from corrections
made due to the verification process. An adjustment will be made to the student’s financial aid award as
required by federal regulations and an addendum to the existing award letter or a new award letter will be
issued.
