Suggestions for Student Success
 The student has the tenacity to complete a two-year
program.
 Students need to commit to taking the two-year
program, as we want completers of the Cosmetology
program to successfully pass the licensing exam to
become a licensed Cosmetologist.
 Students need to commit to attending a 4 hour/3 minute
daily class schedule including 11 days of 7 hours at the
end of June (June 16th through June 30th).
 Dexterity, agility, and eye-hand coordination are
important characteristics for a student to be successful.
 The student is in line to graduate with their graduating
class.
 We have determined that students that are behind in
their graduation credits rarely complete the two-year
Cosmetology program.
 Seats in the program are limited due to facility
restraints; so careful Career Pathway selection is
necessary.
 The student has great attendance to school.
 Cosmetology requires students to earn 750 clock
hours per year. Students need 1500 clock hours to
qualify themselves to take the licensing exam in
Cosmetology. There is a practical section and a
written/theory section for the state-licensing exam.
 There should not be any major student discipline
issues.
 There is very little wiggle room to make-up missed
hours each school year.
