J. Michael Harrold Beauty Academy, Inc. understands that returning to school might feel like a huge undertaking – especially when you need to find a way to pay for it. That’s why we offer financial aid options for students who qualify. All students are strongly urged to apply for Federal Student Financial Aid. This section is designed to help better understand the Financial Aid and to assist in applying for them.

Gathering the Documents Needed to Apply

The FAFSA asks for information about you (your name, date of birth, address, etc.) and about your financial situation. Depending on your circumstances (for instance, whether you’re a U.S. citizen or what tax form you used), you might need the following information or documents as you fill out the FAFSA:

• Your Social Security number (it’s important that you enter it correctly on the FAFSA!)
• Your parents’ Social Security numbers and Date of Birth, if you are a dependent student
• Your driver’s license number, if you have one
• Your Alien Registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen
• Federal tax information* or tax returns including IRS W-2 information, for you (and your spouse, if you are married), and for your parents if you are a dependent student: (If you are married, put husband’s name 1st to be able to retrieve information from the IRS data retrieval tool)
  • IRS 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ
  • Foreign tax return and/or
  • Tax return for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or Palau
• Records of your untaxed income, such as child support received, interest income, and veterans non-education benefits, for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent student
• Information on cash; savings and checking account balances; investments, including stocks and bonds and real estate but not including the home in which you live; and business and farm assets for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent student

Keep these records! You may need them again. Do not mail your records to us.

*You may be able to have your tax information imported automatically from the IRS into your FAFSA. Learn more about reporting tax information on your FAFSA.

One thing you don’t need for the FAFSA® is money! The FAFSA is FREE, so if a website asks you to pay to fill it out, you’re not dealing with the official FAFSA site. Remember, the FAFSA comes from the government, so it’s on a .gov site: fafsa.gov.

What is an FSA ID?

An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on ED websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) at fafsa.gov.

If you are a parent of a dependent student, you will need your own FSA ID if you want to sign your child’s FAFSA electronically. If you have more than one child attending college, you can use the same FSA ID to sign all applications. Please note: Each FSA ID user must have a unique e-mail address.

Your FSA ID is used to sign legally binding documents electronically. It has the same legal status as a written signature. Don’t give your FSA ID to anyone—not even to someone helping you fill out the FAFSA. Sharing your FSA ID could put you at risk of identity theft!

DESCRIPTION: The cosmetology course consists of all aspects of the beauty culture. You will learn haircutting and styling, manicures, pedicures, facials, make-up and chemical services. With a gradual progression from mannequins to clients, the program builds both confidence and technical ability. The Cosmetology Course is designed to train the student by instilling a sense of professionalism in each student. It will prepare them to enter the field of Cosmetology as an entry level designer, colorist, or permist and will have the tools necessary to expand into the area of salon owner/manager, or platform artist. This program is measured in clock hours, where the student receives one clock hour for every hour in class.

OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of the course requirements, determined graduates will be able to project an attitude of poise, professionalism and self-confidence; will have learned how to communicate effectively and interact appropriately with colleagues, supervisors and clients. They will understand the need to deliver worthy service in an employment environment. They will have the ability to perform the skills necessary to practice cosmetology as a professional and to apply their academic learning and technical information to assure good judgments, decisions and procedures.

To ensure continued career success, the graduate will continue to learn new and current information related to skills, trends, and methods for career development in cosmetology and related fields.

REFERENCES: Students follow Milady’s Standard: Cosmetology. A comprehensive library of references, books, texts, DVD’s, audio/video tapes and web-based materials are available to support the course of study and supplement the students’ training. Students should avail themselves of the opportunity to use these extensive materials.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS: The clock hour education is provided through a sequential set of learning steps that address specific tasks necessary for state board preparation, graduation and job entry level skills. Student Salon equipment, implements, and products are comparable to those used in the industry. Each student will receive instruction that relates to the performance of useful, creative, and productive career oriented activities. The course is presented through comprehensive lesson plans that reflect effective educational methods. Subjects are presented by means of interactive lecture, demonstration, cooperative learning, labs, student salon activities, and student participation. Audio-visual aids, guest speakers, field trips, projects, activities, and other related learning methods are used in the course.

GRADING PROCEDURES: The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic learning. Academic learning (Theory) is evaluated after each unit of study. Comprehensive practical skills evaluations are given after each assigned Phase Class (e.g. Haircutting, Hairstyling, Textured Services, and Color) There are more advanced class comprehensive practical skills evaluations (e.g. Updo, Basic Braiding and Advance Braids). There are numerous comprehensive practical skills evaluations during the course of study. Comprehensive practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in comprehensive practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must maintain a written grade average of 75% and pass a FINAL written and comprehensive practical skills evaluation prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. According to the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency 820 IAC 4-4-8 SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS, all examination shall be passed with at least seventy-five percent (75%).

Theory and comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be graded on a scale from 0 to 100%. To be making satisfactory progress, a student must maintain a minimum overall grade point average of 75% (based on accumulated theory & comprehensive practical skills examinations)

Grading Scale for Written and Comprehensive Practical Skills Evaluations ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATION work is as follows:

The SECOND CRITERION to the ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATION is the LABORATORY WORK (PROJECT COMPLETION RATE). Students are assigned a minimum number of practical experiences. The amount of performances is equal to the hours outlined by the State Board of Cosmetology Examiners. It is to be the minimum requirement only. This is found in your Official Student Progress Book from the State of Indiana Board of Cosmetology Examiners. Practical assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. (Due to our computer program not able to reflect the % of the number of projects completed at a given number of hours, we attach the Progress Status Chart to every SAP evaluation). If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. Laboratory work will be graded by pass or fail. A criterion of each project is posted on bulletin boards and found on back of Student Salon Tickets.

The Progress Status Chart reflects the amount of projects in each category that should be completed at specific completed hours of training. In order for a student to be making satisfactory progress, a student must maintain a minimum percentage of 75%.

The Progress Status chart grid sheet determines each student’s project completion rate. Under the grid chart there are 16 categories/columns. Each represent a type of project the student must complete as part of their training. For example, haircuts, manicures, pedicures, etc. (Mnq: = mannequins) – The number of categories the student has fulfilled with the minimum required completed projects will determine the %.

On the left side of grid there are rows representing the students respective hours starting at 500 and increasing every 100 until graduation. When the student connects their current hours with the projects they are working on, a number of completions is in that box.

Grading Scale for Written and Comprehensive Practical Skills Evaluations

ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATION work is as follows:

UNIT OF INSTRUCTION: The Esthetician course of study consists of 700 clock hours. Each of the subjects listed below will be covered in theory and/or practical work. Our curriculum integration embraces not just the interweaving of academics (e.g., theory and demonstration) but also the practical skills (e.g., sanitation and actual practice) to create a solid connection between the two areas. It is much more effective in relation to each other than to be taught separately. Our procedural approach enables the student to acquire both the knowledge and professional skills to be successful in their career path.

All acne treatments, makeup applications, advanced techniques; and waxing must be done on live models. At least fifty percent (50%) of the other services must be done on live models. The actual practice not described above may be on actual customers of the cosmetology school. However, students shall not work on customers of the cosmetology school until they have completed a total of ninety (90) hours. Customers shall be rotated according to students’ needs for practice on live models.

The above hour requirements must be met by each student in each category in order for the earned hours to be accepted by the applicable regulatory agency. The generous portion of discretionary hours will be applied as needed in the curriculum related areas or if the Student desires to specialize in a specific area.

Classes begin the first Tuesday of each month. The school reserves the right to change the starting months and dates as it becomes necessary.
