their additional programs.
Example
If a student is enrolled in Hair, Nails, and Esthetics and the first program started is Nails the deposit due to

installment of $700. When that student wants to start their final program, Hair, they will need to pay another
deposit installment of $800. The balance of the full program(s) must be paid prior to the release of

student that pays their balance in full prior to enrollment.

that program must be paid. There will also be an additional $100 administration fee per transcript released
that must be paid prior to the release of transcripts. If the student waits until all programs are complete, the
administration fee is waived.

Attendance Policy
To help prepare you for the workplace, Portland Beauty School operates similarly to a
professional salon and spa. Late arrivals, absences and other interruptions in your training have
a significant effect on your ability to gain skill and competence, in the same way they would if you
were employed in a salon or other professional environment. According to the Higher Education
Coordinating Commission, we must keep track of your training hours for licensure or certification.
Attendance is determined by the contracted schedule. Full-Time is defined at a minimum of 7.5
hours per day or 135 clocked hours per month. Part-time is defined as hours totaling less than
7.5 hours per day or 135 clocked hours per month.
In order to maintain satisfactory progress, each student must attend scheduled classes during
each calendar month. Students must be clocked in via a computerized attendance tracking
program prior to their start time. All students are expected to attend school regularly and maintain
a minimum of 75% of the contracted schedule. Students are required to be prepared for school
every day. This includes having all tools required for training including but not limited to technical
kits and instructional books. If a student comes to school without the required tools, they may be
sent home and receive no hours or credit for the day.
If a student is ill or an emergency arises and will be absent or late, the student must notify the
school directly by calling the front desk, prior to their contracted start time. If a student does not
contact the school prior to an absence or late arrival, they may not receive credit for the day. Any
planned absences must be brought to the instructor’s attention before the date of the absences,
and documented in writing to the instructor. Any absences of 3 days or more will need to be
accompanied by a note from a certified medical physician, excusing the absence.
If the attendance requirement is not met, the student will receive a verbal warning. At this time
the student will be counseled as to how they can make up the theory and practical classes missed.
If the attendance requirement is not met after the second month, or if there is no attempt to make
up theory and or practical classes the student will no longer be considered as maintaining
satisfactory progress.
If the student requires a leave of absence for medical reason, or for circumstances beyond his/her
control, the school will permit up to 90 days leave. The student must request the leave in writing
to the Director. If the student fails to return to the school from a leave of absence, he/she will then
be terminated.
Late Arrivals
A late arrival is defined as more than 15 minute late for regularly scheduled class. If a student is
excessively late (being late more than 1 time per week), an advisement session with the Education
Coordinator will determine what actions should be taken by the student and the school to reduce
tardiness. Tardiness will lead to suspension if the tardiness happens more than 7 times in a
month. Late arrivals and early departures will count against the student.
20
Disciplinary Actions
A student may only acquire 3 absences or 7 late arrivals per month excused or unexcused.
The student will be verbally advised by the Education Coordinator after 2 absences and/or
if a student is late more than once a week. If the student is still absent or late after the
advisement, the following will take place:
1st Offense: Verbal Warning- A verbal reprimand and will review over further disciplinary
actions that will take place if another offence should take place. (If the student acquires 3
absences or 7 late arrivals per month excused or unexcused)
2nd Offense: Written Warning/Probation - A written warning, which states that further
violation(s) within a 30 day period will result in suspension. Specific stipulations may be
prescribed in this probationary period. (If the student acquires more than 3 absences or 7
late arrivals per month excused or unexcused)
3rd Offense: Suspension - Immediate suspension of the student from Portland Beauty
School. This suspension will be a maximum of 30 days (If a student acquires any absences
or late arrivals while on probation).
4th Offense: Termination – Once a student returns from suspension they will be placed on
a probationary period of 30 days. If the student acquires any absences or late arrivals while
on probation, they will be terminated. This is the immediate withdrawal of the student from
Portland Beauty School.
All disciplinary actions will be documented in the students file.
Previous Enrollment
Any student who has previously attended Portland Beauty School, and wishes to reenter/re-enroll/restart their program of study, must execute a new Enrollment
Agreement. If accepted for enrollment, the student will be subject to the most current
rules that apply to the Enrollment Agreement if revisions apply. Portland Beauty School
reserves the right to deny re-entry to any student previously terminated from this
School. In the instance of such decision, the student shall be notified by mail.

following Satisfactory Progress Report. If a student fails to maintain satisfactory progress for two
consecutive report periods, the student will be placed on probation. If a student fails to maintain
satisfactory progress more three consecutive periods, the student may be terminated. After each
unsatisfactory report, the student will have a meeting with the school Educational Coordinator to
determine the cause and resolution for the student’s success in their enrollment.

school in the same satisfactory progress status they had prior to their departure. Request forms
