Federal School Code

 

For prospective students filing the FAFSA form, our Federal School Code is 041677.

 

Location of the College

 

The College is located at 1645 Tiffin Avenue, just west of the Findlay Village Mall and across from Burger King.

 

The College follows the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Guidelines.

FERPA is a Federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student's educational records. The law applies to all schools which receive funds under an applicable program from the U.S. Department of Education (USDE).

The FERPA gives certain rights to parents of dependent minors regarding their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student or former student who has reached the age of 18 or is attending any school beyond the high school level. Students and former students to whom the rights have transferred are called eligible students.

• Parents of dependent minors have the right to inspect and review all of the student's education records maintained by the College. Schools are not required to provide copies of materials in education records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for Parents of dependent minor students to inspect the records personally. The College may charge a fee for copies.
• Parents of dependent minors have the right to request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or misleading. If the College refuses to change the records, the Parents of dependent minor student then has the right to formal hearing. After the hearing if the College still refuses the correction, the Parents of dependent minor student has the right to place a statement in the records commenting on the contested information in the records.
• Generally, the College must have written permission from the Parents of dependent minor student before releasing any information from a student's record. However, the law allows schools to disclose records, without consent, to the following parties:
• Employees of the College who have a need-to-know.
• Other schools to which a student is transferring.
• Certain government officials in order to carry out lawful functions.
• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student.
• Organizations doing certain studies for the College.
• Accrediting organizations.
• Individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas.
• Persons who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies.
• State and local authorities to whom disclosure is required by state laws adopted before November (1974).
• Schools may also disclose, without consent, directory-type information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, the College must tell parents and students of the information that is designated as directory information and provide a reasonable amount of time to allow the parent of eligible student to request the College not to disclose that information about them.

Schools must notify Parents of dependent minor of their rights under this law. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to each school.

Schools must adopt a written policy about complying with the FERPA. Schools must give the Parents of dependent minor student a copy of the policy, upon request.

If you wish to see your child's education records, or if you are over 18 or are attending college and would like to see your records, you should contact the College for the procedure to follow.

If you have any questions about the FERPA, or if you have problems in securing your rights under this Act, you may call (202) 401-2057 or write to: Family Policy Compliance Office, Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., and Room 3017 Washington, DC 20202-4605.

Facilities and Services for Students with Disabilities

 

The College also provides wheelchair accessible amenities (i.e. restrooms, parking, etc.). If a student has special needs, the College will accommodate them to the best of their ability. Accommodations will also be made to the public for cosmetology services. 

 

Student Diversity

 

At December 31 of each of the following years, the student body composed of :

 

Most of the books and supplies are included in the price of the kit, however there is a few additional supplies to be acquired by the student. A list of these supplies are found with the admissions packet, and although store prices may vary, typically cost less than $100.00.

 

Students are also expected to wear a uniform, when clocked in. Artisan t-shirts can be purchased at the school for $14.00 (plus tax). Students are also required to wear black pants and black shoes, as part of the uniform.

 

Refund Policy and Requirements for Withdrawal and Return of Federal Financial Aid

 

The return of Title IV funds, as prescribed in Section 484B of the HEA Amendments, determines the amount of the Title IV aid a student has earned at the time a student withdraws. The amount of the Title IV aid a student has not earned is then returned to the Title IV programs. It is a proportional calculation based on the date of withdrawal through sixty-percent (60%) of the payment period. The College defines its payment periods for the Managing Cosmetology program in scheduled hours. Payment Period 1 is from 1-450 scheduled hours, Payment Period 2 is from 451-900 scheduled hours, Payment Period 3 is from 901-1,200 scheduled hours and Payment Period 4 is from 1,201-1,500 hours. The formula in brief is as follows:

1. The College will determine the date of withdrawal and then determine the percentage of the payment period scheduled for the student.
2. The College will determine the amount of Title IV aid for which the student was eligible by the percentage of the time scheduled.
3. The College will compare the amount earned to the amount disbursed. If the amount of aid disbursed exceeds the amount earned, this amount of Title IV aid must be returned.
4. The College allocates the responsibility for returned unearned aid between the College and the student according to the portion of disbursed aid that could have been used to cover institutional charges and the portion that could have been disbursed directly to the student once institutional charges were covered.
5. The College and/or student must then distribute the unearned Title IV aid back to the Title IV programs.

The following Title IV refund distribution is used for all students due a Title IV refund:

1. Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
2. Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan
3. Federal PLUS Loan
4. Federal Pell Grant

EXAMPLE

 

Financial Aid Award:

 

Pell Grant $4,731 1st disbursement $2,366

Direct Loan $3,500 1st disbursement 1,724

Total $4,090

The student withdraws on December 1, 2010, and was scheduled to complete 212 hours of the 1,500-hour Managing Cosmetology program. The calculation is as follows:

212 hours/450 hours (payment period 1) = 47.1%

The student had completed 47.1% of the payment period (Payment Period 1) and therefore had earned 47.1% of the financial aid that had been disbursed.

$4,090 aid disbursed X 47.1% = $1,926.39 earned financial aid

The College must return the unearned aid to the Department of Education.

$4,090 aid received - $1,926.39 earned aid = $2,163.61 unearned aid

The College will return $1,724 to the Direct Loan program and $439.61 to the Pell Grant program for a total of $2,163.61.

 

Refund Policies and Procedures

Copyright Infringement (Policies and Sanctions), Computer Use and File Sharing

 

The College does not permit the unauthorized use of copyrighted material and peer-to-peer file sharing on premises. According to the U.S. Copyright Office (www.copyright.gov), copyright infringement is when "a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made without the permission of the copyright owner." This applies to all or a portion of a copyright work. Unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing, may be subject to civil and criminal liabilities.

 

Per the U.S. Copyright Office, a summary of the penalties for violation of federal copyright laws are provided below:

 

Uploading or downloading works protected by copyright without the authority of the copyright owner is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution. Anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages up to $30,000 for each work infringed and, if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner, that amount may be increased up to $150,000 for each work infringed. In addition, an infringer of a work may also be liable for the attorney's fees incurred by the copyright owner to enforce his or her rights.

Whether or not a particular work is being made available under the authority of the copyright owner is a question of fact. But since any original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium (including a computer file) is protected by federal copyright law upon creation, in the absence of clear information to the contrary, most works may be assumed to be protected by federal copyright law.

Since the files distributed over peer-to-peer networks are primarily copyrighted works, there is a risk of liability for downloading material from these networks. To avoid these risks, there are currently many "authorized" services on the Internet that allow consumers to purchase copyrighted works online, whether music, ebooks, or motion pictures. By purchasing works through authorized services, consumers can avoid the risks of infringement liability and can limit their exposure to other potential risks, e.g., viruses, unexpected material, or spyware.

 

For more information, please see the on-line FAQ page of the U.S. Copyright Office at www.copyright.gov/help/faq.

 

The College will discontinue any student performing unlawful peer-to-peer file sharing or copyright violations. Any amount of tuition due to the College will be deemed payable on demand.

For more information on job placement, please contact the College administration.
