Cosmetology is an occupational education program which continues to align itself with the institutional mission, vision, and strategic goals offered to the students.
The Riverside Community College District is accessible and comprehensive, committed to providing an affordable post-secondary education, including student and community services to a diverse student body. The District provides transfer programs paralleling the first two years of university offerings, pre-professional, career preparation, and occupational and technical programs leading to the Associate of Arts degree, the Associate of Science degree, and a variety of certificates. In the tradition of general education, the liberal arts and sciences and the occupational and technical programs and courses prepare students for intellectual and cultural awareness, critical and independent thought and self-reliance. Consistent with its responsibility to assist those who can benefit from post-secondary education, the District provides pre-college, tutorial and supplemental instruction for under-prepared students. Through its three constituent colleges, Moreno Valley, Norco and Riverside City, other educational institutions, businesses, industry, and community groups to enhance the quality of life and the internal harmony of the communities it serves.
Outreach efforts have been undertaken in order to encourage the use of both Cosmetology students and our facilities by other disciplines. This not only gives us the opportunity for interdisciplinary communication, it also giver our students the opportunity to exercise and demonstrate the skills they have learned. Cosmetology students have participated in wig design and makeup for campus theater and television productions and assisted with children exercises and activities for Early Childhood Studies. The curriculum fulfills The Board of Barbering and
Cosmetology’s mandated requirements for licensure in the state of California.
The Board of Education approved the Cosmetology program on August 6, 1945. Since its inception the program has contributed to the enhancement of the college as well as the quality of life and internal harmony of the community it serves. The program originally met in the Quad, on the main campus, and continued to grow. In 1958 the Cosmetology Department relocated to a new site on Olivewood Street. The new cosmetology building was accepted by the Board of
Education on July 21, 1958. A Teacher Training class was offered to licensed cosmetologists and fulfilled the need for the development and improvement of communication skills for instructors
In 1970 a building expansion occurred to keep up with the demand of the community interest in the program and evening courses were launched. Esthetic curriculum was offered as part of the program in 1964. The Cosmetology Program has been extremely successful and benefitted the

community. New technology advancements have been introduced in the classroom to prepare the students for entry level industry.
The Employment Development Department (EDD) states that the cosmetology industry has grown statewide at a constant rate of 11% annually since the 1980s. This does not include the growth rate of Riverside County which exceeds the state’s statistics. Salon Industry statistics also include a new 600% annual growth in Day Spas and services provided at Dermatologist offices, resorts, casinos, private businesses, etc.
To meet the demands of a growing population the following resources (among many others) will be needed:

Larger facilities

Additional staff

Updated Equipment

Technology Requirements
An issue that has been prominent throughout the life of the Cosmetology department has been the budget. In the past seven years Cosmetology’s budget has been cut by 26%. In 2006 the budget increased but still left a deficit of $4000. The reduction in this line item has caused the department to run short on supplies required by classrooms (clinic floor) activities. It is anticipated in the 2008-09 fiscal year, the program will have exhausted its instructional supply budget 2 months prior to the end of the program’s year cycle. This funding deficit causes classroom instruction (community clinic) cuts. This environment is essential to give students real life scenarios and simulated entry force work requirements. The program creates annual revenue of approximately $120,000 through its sale of services to the community. This revenue is distributed into the district general fund. The cosmetology program has requested that the annual revenue generated by the classrooms be restricted to the Cosmetology program. This would help resolve budgetary issues.
Due to the limitations created by the age of the facility, the program has had boundaries placed upon it that prevent it from working to its full potential which includes reduction of FTES
(Appendix A). Because of the limitation in space, the program can only accept an average of
25% of the potential students who are trying to enroll (Appendix B). The Cosmetology department utilizes the facility Monday through Friday to full capacity from 8 a. to 11 pm. What would otherwise be down time is utilized by facilities to maintain, repair, and renovate the 50 year old building.
The need for more physical space is one of the main reasons the program has not been able to offer any additional courses that are in demand by the community. Classrooms originally designed for 20 students are overcrowded and have created both safety and instructional issues that have been noted by our faculty. As stated, the current facility was built to accommodate a graduating class of 84 students. Today, the same facility is expected to accommodate 364
Cosmo CPR 08-12 2

students. As the student population grows, so does the community as well as the Cosmetology industry.
The building that houses the Cosmetology program at the Riverside campus cannot accommodate the load. Its status and the status of the equipment it houses are counterproductive to the success of the students. The upgrades in the instructional environment and equipment over the past two years have helped meet current demands while waiting for a new facility. The main focus has been bringing the building up to date with improvements in repairs and upgrades to address current needs. Some upgrades are still in progress while equipment needs are ongoing.
The upgrades, however, did not address expansion needs due to the age and limitations of the facility. It is because of this that we have determined that a new facility with new equipment would be a tremendous benefit not only to the department but also to the college as well as the community it serves. The remedy to this situation is creating a new facility at the Riverside campus.
New Facility and Location
A facility specially designed for Cosmetology discipline services is required to bring the program up to industry standards. The building is to be accessible to the students and the community. Its location should be on the perimeter of campus where parking is accessible. It will also require multiple levels and have an occupancy load of up to 20 instructors, 300 students, and 300 community members. The facility would include a service floor and supporting area consisting of:

Retailing Area

Reception Area

Waiting Area

Media Center

Dispensary

Warehouse (supplies)

2 main service floors (26 cosmetology work stations per floor)

1 main spa service floor

1 main nail service floor
Other requirements include:

Technology in each service and lecture/lab classrooms
 LCD screens, Camera, Projectors, PC’s and supportive software

5 classrooms (cosmetology lecture/lab)

Paramedical Labs (Skin/ Spa Classroom and Lab) that includes a lab, lecture room, and a wet room.

1 massage lab

1 massage classroom

1 nail classroom

Student Services Area that includes vending machines, an eating area, study area, etc.

10 faculty offices
Cosmo CPR 08-12 3


4 staff offices

Faculty/ Staff break area

Conference room

A processing center (instruction, staff, supplies, office machinery, etc.)
New facilities at the Moreno Valley and Norco campuses that would offer more programs for the local community have been considered. An informal survey given to students indicates that 9% of students would prefer to attend the Moreno Valley Campus, 11% would prefer to attend the
Norco Campus, and the remaining 80% prefer to stay at the Riverside City Campus. These indicators recommend the Cosmetology program should remain at the Riverside City Campus.
This would also allow for international and advanced class offerings to be maximized.
Staffing
The Cosmetology program currently has six full-time and 24 adjunct faculty members. One fulltime faculty (department chair) has reassigned time totaling approximately 0.4 FTE. The program also has three full time classified and one full-time/part-time classified. The positions are as follows:

Instructional Department specialist

(2)Cashier/ Receptionist

Cosmetology clerk
In order to meet the current demand and anticipated growth over the next five years the cosmetology department must hire the following staff:

Full-time, part-time Cosmetology Clerk for night position

One full-time faculty to increase the full-time/adjunct faculty ratio

Part-time faculty pool increased

Two 950 hour employees
Equipment
The Cosmetology department has been using the annual program review process to identify the needs of the department. The department has determined the annual review process has helped in finding funding for some projects but not needed staff. The discipline recommends that a budget line item be included in the Cosmetology budget to address innovation and replacement cycles for equipment. As such, the discipline recommends the following principles be used:

Equipment in the cosmetology industry has a typical life expectancy of approximately 5 years due to the frequency of use. Cycle for replacement need to be implemented into budget cycles to address this requirement.

Innovations in the Cosmetology industry occur on a regular basis and consideration should be given in budget cycles.

Instructional supplies (products used in lab exercises) budget line needs to be increased to meet growth in student enrollment.

COURSES REVISIONS:
Cos-60A through Cos-60E courses was revised in fall 2009 to reflect the following. The student will take this course one time with successful completion.
Concerns
Cosmetology concerns regarding minimum enrollment caps of 20 students as set by the district.
Current trends, financial constraints, and industry demands in the last 2 decades have necessitated reevaluation and modification of the classes that are offered. Due to the nature of our classes and the fact that they are sequential requires that some of our classes at times must be allowed to function below that cap. As a district discipline and a community service provider we wish to remain current and relevant in our program offerings and therefore we may require special consideration in class minimum caps.
1. Comprehensive Competencies
Comprehensive competencies that would be expected prior to the completion of the cosmetology course would be:

Demonstrate cognitive skill sets that meet the California Bureau of Barbering and Cosmetology
Criteria as outlined in the Business and Professions Code.

Demonstration of various cosmetology genres, practical and theoretical knowledge of Cosmetology as a collaborative art form.

Assess critically health and safety laws as outlined by OSHA.

Demonstrate customer service, people skills and critical thinking as required by professions.

Define key terms relevant to cosmetology.

Communicate clearly the law and its impact on the industry, individual and community.
Cosmo CPR 08-12 7

2. Methods of Assessment
Our current methods of assessing student success are through:

Exams/quizzes

Research papers

In-class discussions

Mock state bureau practical and written exams

Critical thinking activities

Individual and group projects

Demonstration lectures through written exam and practical applications

Laboratory assignments

COR include assignments, reading, writing

Interactions with the community
Faculty members work collaboratively to design assessments of student learning for each course.
In 2008, the discipline implemented comprehensive final exams to determine where instruction could be strengthened. Part-time faculty is encouraged to participate and many do.
Full-time faculty members facilitate the development of these exams by review of student learning outcomes for each subject level of the five sequential course levels. Each full-time faculty is then designated to develop an exam for one of the course levels, after development the exams are brought forth to full-time faculty for approval. Through this determination, full time faculty can counsel part time faculty to achieve the desired outcome for learning comprehension.
The Cosmetology department also implemented standardized comprehensive syllabi in fall 2008.
Full time faculty collaborated in the development of the syllabi to provide the student with student learning outcomes at the conclusion of each course level. The syllabus also includes a complete grade breakdown for students to accurately monitor grades. The standardization of the syllabi has allowed for part time instructors and students to sustain curriculum standards, as well as an understanding of the departments expectations at each course level. Standardized handouts are being developed to maintain consistency within the classroom for all instructors, therefore making the course content clear and precise.
The need for a fulltime faculty member in each of the five levels of the program has become evident through inconsistencies in pedagogical methodologies with part time faculty.
Department policies, curriculum, and classroom management are maintained and monitored more effectively with full time faculty member monitoring.
The department is in the process of implementation of Cosmetology School Management
Software. This software will enhance the ability of instructors to accurately comply with regulations of the Bureau of Barbering and Cosmetology. More efficient and precise documentation of student records, tracking, assessment, and employment tracking will enhance student success, completion and retention. The Cosmetology School Management software will calculate student success at time of record input. This will keep records consistent, precise, as well as current. Instructors will thus obtain the ability to spend valuable time with student learning outcomes and reduce time spent tracking state required record keeping.
Cosmo CPR 08-12 8

Our current methods of assessing student outcomes are state exam pass rates and industry feedback: a.
California Bureau Pass Rates
The state pass rates are the highest priority in assessing outcomes of students, through the
California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology state exams, the discipline is notified of student’s exam scores. Notifications of the current exam scores are comparable with that of other institutions in the state. Without meeting this outcome measure, the student will not be licensed and cannot be employed. The curriculum is designed by the State and is distributed to institutions. The faculties in the department constantly examine the interpretation of the curriculum. The program at Riverside Community College experiences the highest pass rate in the state. However, the discipline continues to monitor student learning and as a result, it has identified and corrected inconsistencies in the classroom refer to (Appendix F). Cosmetology has implemented three department meetings a year and comprehensive syllabi are currently required. With the implemented department meetings, full time faculty have developed workshops, and discussion groups in order to assist part time faculty with curriculum standards, as well as receive input on pedagogical methodologies.
These implementations have been helpful in eliminating some of the inconsistencies and will be continued. b.
Industry Feed Back
Past and present advisory committees, guest speakers, product companies, and corporations indicate that RCC students are the most sought after entry level employee (Appendix G).
Industry feedback is a viable resource and indicator that students are entering the field with the required skill sets. To ensure RCC’s advisory committee reflects current industry knowledge, the advisory committee has been reconstituted. It is comprised of over a dozen members from industry, trade shows, other school, and manufacturers. The committee has met twice over the past year with high attendance and has task force groups to accommodate specific items. This new mix has been instrumental in outlining the skill sets required by the industry. It has also resulted in manufacturer company indicators stating that RCC students are highly employable.
Collaborative leadership provided by the Riverside Community College District Offices, the
Cosmetology Department chairperson and fulltime faculty and the Cosmetology Advisory
Committee have proven instrumental in guiding, organizing, and supporting the Cosmetology program and curriculum. The District Offices provide:

Organizational Leadership

Resource Development

Coordination of Curriculum and Instructional Support

Assistance with Accreditation, Grant, Contract and Legal Mandate Compliance
Cosmo CPR 08-12 9


Research and Planning Support



Outreach
The Cosmetology Department chairperson collaborates with the other fulltime faculty to determine through state mandated course curriculum, student assessment and learning outcomes,
California Bureau of Barbering and Cosmetology examination pass rates, and certificates of completion in the Cosmetology program how to improve upon the success of the program and fulfill community and regional institutional availability. The increase in regional population growth along with new certificate patterns in career and technical programs has created a need for a larger facility, increased staff and additional courses in Cosmetology, Esthetics and
Barbering.
The Advisory Committee, comprised of community leaders, collaborates with faculty to strengthen relationships with community organizations and to identify and address community needs. The Advisory Committee promotes the development of qualified instructors who will infuse standards of excellence in career and technical education throughout the region.
Furthermore, the Riverside Campus Vice President of Career Technical Education oversees the development of the Cosmetology Department. All academic programs report directly to the
Dean of Instruction. Upon review the Vice President of Career Technical Education reports the needs of the program to the Dean of Instruction.
Additionally, the Career and Technical Education counselor from the Career Center collaborates with the Cosmetology Department to address changes in the requirements, degree, and certificate programs. Counselors advise students of appropriate prerequisite courses which may be necessary to meet the program admission criteria. The Cosmetology Department provides written information regarding the application and selection process for the program.
Student Financial Services provides resources to help students apply for financial assistance to enable them to attain their educational goal. The Cosmetology department encourages students to utilize the opportunities available through Student Financial Services.
Various types of financial assistance available include:

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

The Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGW)

Federal Pell Grant

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
Cosmo CPR 08-12 10


Scholarships (offered through the RCC Foundation)
The Office of Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSP&S) provides comprehensive, reliable and accessible services to students with documented disabilities who request such services. Services are provided for students in disability groups outlined in California’s Title V
Regulations. The Cosmetology Department maintains a positive working relationship with The
Office of Disabled Student Programs and Services to ensure the equal opportunity of education for all students and encourages appointment scheduling to determine if assessment is appropriate.
Riverside Community College District Safety and Police Department (RCCDPD) provide public safety services to students, faculty, staff and visitors that include:

Routine patrols of the campus and parking lots.

Responses to emergency and non-emergency requests for services.

Enforcement of traffic laws, parking regulations and laws.

Building security

Investigation of crime

Vehicle lockout service
The Cosmetology Department relies on the RCCDPD to protect the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors to ensure an enjoyable college experience.
The Facilities Department works closely with the Cosmetology Department to provide janitorial services, maintenance of electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, painting, removal of cabinets, installation of flooring and cabinets, landscaping, parking lot repair and remodeling of the building. The Cosmetology Department is one of the oldest buildings on the Riverside City
Campus and has continual issues requiring assistance from the Facilities Department.
The Cosmetology Department has also collaborated with the:

RCC Workforce Preparation Program to prepare students interested in the Cosmetology program.

Curriculum committee in developing and approving the current curriculum.

Administration Department to recognize the needs of the department initiate and implement necessary changes for the effectiveness and growth of the program.
Education Institutions
The Cosmetology department participates in Counselor to Counselor Day and Career Days to promote the Cosmetology program. Ongoing outreach to neighboring high schools and job fairs
Cosmo CPR 08-12 11

provide exposure to Cosmetology and its related fields. The Cosmetology department works with
RCCD Outreach in a collaborative effort to contact all non successful applicants. These applicants are contacted by Outreach and given alternative success patterns for their educational success.
Community
The Cosmetology department outreach efforts in the community include:

Guest speakers and lecturers that educate RCC students about community resources

Student Activities sponsored events


Students
Advertising in brochures, new letters, and flyers are offered to community members to advertise state certificates, local certificates and the many courses of Riverside Community College
District. The Cosmetology department outreach to neighboring high schools and job fairs gives exposure to Cosmetology students in related fields. Cosmo Club meets bi-monthly while maintaining involvement with RCCD Student Activities. The Cosmetology department continues to move beyond boundaries of the college in the surrounding community.
Intercollegiate student competition, campus club driven events as well as community needs provide the student with an opportunity of integrating services which are appropriate to
Consumer Affairs and the Bureau of Barbering and Cosmetology. The cosmetology club also has a good relationship with the other clubs on campus. An example of this is “Feminist Unite” positive self esteem workshops which offered awareness to student community.
Cosmo CPR 08-12 12

Based on Data from Institutional Research, occupational employment statistics, and informal data compiled by the department, the Cosmetology department needs to address the demand from the community and the issues facing the impacted program. As stated, because of the lack of physical space and necessary equipment. In 2005 - 2008 and now in 2009 the program turned away 3 applicants for every successful applicant. RCC facilities, cosmetology department and outside agencies have identified that upgrades to the building would not remedy the situation. A new building would not only give cosmetology the space to address the needs of the community, but it will also help us improve upon instruction. New facilities would also increase average annual FTES from 562 to 1282.
The department strategic plan for the next five years includes the development of new facilities that would allow for the creation of new programs. The renovation of our current facility will allow us to meet state requirements and current demands until the prior goal has been reached.
The Planning and development of this facility and the renovation for the present building will demonstrate a progressive move toward accomplishing the strategic plan.
The department’s five year strategic plan also includes the implementation of student follow-ups and surveys prior to the completion of the program. This will help us with the tracking our students’ job placement, residency, and continuing education at RCCD and other institutions.
The office of Institutional Research and the office of Admissions and Records, through the use of codes identifying students as cosmetology majors, will aid the department in keeping track of students returning to RCCD.
The district strategic initiative to increase awards and certificates has been addressed by the department. In 2003 – 04 the department recognized that the total awards count was at 17. Since
2003-04 the department has continually increased the awards to 148 in 2006-2007.

The examination shall not be confined to any particular system or method. It shall be consistent in both practical and technical requirements, and of sufficient thoroughness to satisfy the board as to the applicant's skill in, and knowledge of, the practice of the occupation or occupations for which a license is sought.
In the conduct and grading of examinations, practical demonstrations shall prevail over written tests.
