Notification of Rights under FERPA for Postsecondary Institutions
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to
their education records. These rights include: (1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the
Academy receives a request for access. A student should submit to the Financial Aid Office, a written request that identifies the record(s)
the student wishes to inspect. A Financial Aid official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes
are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the Academy to amend a record should write the Academy official
responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.
If the Academy decides not to amend the record as requested, the Academy will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to provide written consent before the Academy discloses personally identifiable
information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
The Academy discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to academy officials with legitimate educational interests. An academy official is a person employed by the Academy in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the Academy has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using Academy employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another academy official in performing his or her tasks.
An academy official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the Academy.
Upon request, the Academy also discloses education records without consent to officials of another institution in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by
the Academy to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202‐5901
The Academy does not release any information known as Directory Information.

CAREER SERVICES PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE One of our primary goals is to provide the specialized, intensive training that will make our certified and/or licensed graduates highly employable. Our Academies work closely with salon owners and employers throughout the local regions so that all licensees are given an opportunity to secure a position that is the right one for them. Throughout your training, job search training is incorporated in your classes, and the Career Services Department is available if you have questions or need any assistance while you are in school. During your training, you will learn about the different salons and spas that are available, interviewing procedures, how to complete a job application, resumé preparation, and other valuable points you will need to know to help you land a great job after you are licensed. As you approach graduation, a Career Services representative meets with you to remind you of the different types of assistance the department offers, including resumé preparation, referrals and graduate follow‐up. Job placement assistance remains an option for you even if you have been out of school for a while. Graduates are encouraged to keep in touch with the Academies and provide employment updates, and are always welcome to call for any information the Academies can assist with. Although the Academies work closely with our graduates through our placement assistance program, the Academies cannot guarantee employment. TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT OBTAINED BY GRADUATES There are many opportunities for individuals entering the industry under the realm of Cosmetology, Nail Technician, Esthetics or Massage. Your goals can guide you to a lifetime career working in a variety of professional job roles. Entry‐level employment opportunities for Cosmetologists, Nail Technicians, Estheticians and Makeup Artists are available in individual salons, salon chains, department stores, supply houses, and day spas. Estheticians, Massage Practitioners, Massage Therapists and Holistic Health Practitioners (HHP’s) can seek positions in medical arenas, such as med‐spas, chiropractic offices, dermatology offices and cosmetic surgeons’ offices. The most successful graduates possess several personal qualities in addition to their acquired skills. These valuable qualities include, but are not limited to a variety of business and marketing skills, including above‐average people skills, good communication abilities, a sound work ethic and confidence.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION CALIFORNIA: Eligible students are those who have a high school diploma, General Educational Development (GED) Certificate or the equivalent. The Academy will verify the authenticity of the diploma prior to enrollment. If the diploma cannot be verified, the student may be asked to provide a final high school transcript showing the dates of entrance and graduation and the courses completed. If a transcript is not available, the student will be required to meet the ability to benefit (ATB) requirements or take and pass a GED test prior to enrollment. All prospective students are encouraged to participate in a shadow day to gain more insight into the program they are considering. Please ask the Admissions Representative about the details of this opportunity. Ability to Benefit (ATB) (Available for Cash‐Paying Students): Prospective students who are beyond the age of compulsory attendance in the state of California (18 years of age), have a minimum 10th grade education, and have the ability to benefit from the training may also qualify for admission to the Academy. The ability to benefit from the training will be determined by taking and passing an entrance examination (ATB Test). The Academy utilizes the Wonderlic Basic Skills Test, independently administered by a proctor approved by the US Department of Education.

POLICY ON TRANSFER OF CREDITS
CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS TRAINING Acceptance of hours from other approved schools and institutions is at the sole discretion of Bellus Academy. Students who have had prior training must furnish proof of the number of hours of training to the Academy. Transfer hours from another institution that are accepted toward the student’s educational program are counted as both attempted and completed hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted. The Academy only accepts transfer students under certain conditions. Students who discontinue their training program are eligible to transfer allowable hours per state law, providing certain Academy obligations have been satisfied. Manhattan only: Within 30 days after enrollment of a transfer student, the Academy shall obtain verification of the student's prior course of training including subjects, the number of hours, and practice services completed by the student, on a form approved and provided by the board from the state board or school in the state or jurisdiction where the transfer student completed the training. The Academy shall determine the subjects, hours and practice services of the transfer student's prior course of training which conforms to the curriculum requirements in K.A.R. 69‐3‐8 and shall give the student credit for those subjects, hours and practice services. NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED AT OUR INSTITUTION The transferability of credits you earn at Bellus Academy is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the diploma or certificate you earn in any program at Bellus Academy is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the diploma or certificate that you earn at this institution is not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending Bellus Academy to determine if your credits will transfer.
TRANSFER OR ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS Bellus Academy has entered into an articulation agreement with National American University to offer our Cosmetology graduates the opportunity to obtain an Associate Degree in Health and Beauty Management. NAU has physical locations throughout the Midwest and access to online learning options through the internet. For more information, visit the website at www.national.edu or talk to your Admissions Representative.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY A student must maintain satisfactory progress in both attendance and academics for continued enrollment in this academy. Satisfactory progress complies with all laws and regulations applicable to the academy. Students receiving any Federal Title IV financial aid funds must maintain satisfactory progress in order to remain eligible.
DEFINITION Students must satisfactorily complete a minimum number of hours (percent of work) toward their educational goals, based on time increments, and complete their program of study within 1½ times the normal time frame for completion of each payment period. The Academy defines its academic year as 900 hours and 26 weeks. A student’s academic progress in a program is reviewed to determine if a student is eligible for a subsequent Title IV payment at the point when the student’s actual clock hours for the payment period have been completed. In order for the student to be eligible for the next payment, the Academy must determine that the student has successfully completed both the clock hours and weeks of instructional time required for that period. At Bellus Academy, minimum satisfactory progress is defined by the following criteria:
1. A grade point average of 75% and above, and 2. An attendance average of 67% or above the scheduled hours of attendance.
Students who meet the minimum requirements for attendance and academic performance are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next evaluation point. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS Satisfactory academic progress is determined by theory and practical grades averaged together. Theory and clinic work are both graded on the following scale: 94 – 100 = A 87 – 93 = B 80 – 86 = C 75 – 79 = D 74 and below is failing. Theory grades are based on test grades and homework assignments. Practical grades are based on:
1) The ability to accept and effectively complete all work assignments. 2) The ability to effectively communicate with instructors, clients and other students. 3) The ability to accept and perform practical tasks with emphasis on equipment. 4) Participation in practical hands‐on classes as offered by the Academy and outside interests. 5) The ability to follow Academy rules.
The 75% passing grade is programmed into our software system, and we monitor it when progress reports are issued. Students falling below the minimum average are encouraged, and given the opportunity, to retake an exam for which they have received a failing grade. Written progress reports are maintained by the Academy. Students receive progress reports that must be signed and kept in their file at least two (2) times during their program. Informal progress reports are distributed monthly so students can keep track of their progress. Additional progress reports may be issued to students as requested or on an as needed basis determined by the instructor. A written report is kept and will be presented to any student who requests this record in the future. SATISFACTORY ATTENDANCE PROGRESS MAXIMUM TIME FRAME: The maximum time frame a student has to complete any program is 1½ times the program length. Transfer hours from another institution that are accepted toward the student’s
01/31/2014 Page 20 of 61
educational program are counted as both attempted and completed hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted. Program length is defined as the period of time identified on the enrollment contract. Leaves of absence are not included in this total. Should a leave of absence be granted, the student’s maximum time frame for completion would be adjusted accordingly. Students re‐enter at the same status as when they left. Note: For contract purposes, all contracted students have specified allowable absence hours, depending on the total program length. Refer to your contract for allowable absence hours. The 67% attendance average is programmed into our software system to check at the evaluation points for each program. However, we monitor satisfactory progress manually throughout the student’s program. This ensures that students have ample opportunity to improve if they fall below the standards. Failure to attend classes for 14 consecutive days will result in termination from the program. WARNING Students who fall below the above standards at the Satisfactory Progress evaluation point for their actual hours will be placed on Warning. A student is considered to be making unsatisfactory progress while on Warning but is still eligible for Financial Aid. If the student does not improve either grades and/or attendance by the end of the next evaluation point, they will be ineligible for financial aid. APPEAL PROCESS Students who wish to appeal the determination that they are not maintaining satisfactory progress must submit a letter to the Academy Manager or Director within 10 days of receiving the notice of Probation describing any mitigating circumstances the student believes deserve further consideration and what has changed that will allow the student to achieve Satisfactory Progress by the end of the next payment period. Such mitigating circumstances might include family or medical emergencies or military service for which the student has elected not to request a Leave of Absence. An appeal decision will be made and the student notified accordingly. Should a student prevail upon his/her appeal, the student will be placed on Probation for the following payment period and Financial Aid will be reinstated. The student will be placed on an Academic Improvement Plan to ensure the student is able to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress by the end of the probationary period. A copy of the student’s improvement plan will be kept in the student’s file. The student must be achieving Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of the probationary period or all Financial Aid will be terminated. In the case of an adverse determination of the student’s appeal, the student will remain on probation, and must cover tuition payments in cash. If payment arrangements cannot be made, the student will be terminated from the program. A cash‐paying student can re‐establish eligibility for financial aid by achieving the minimum satisfactory progress by the end of the payment period. The Financial Aid department will then request the appropriate Federal funds in their behalf for the next payment period. Failure to re‐establish Satisfactory Progress will result in termination from the program. PROGRAM INCOMPLETES, REPETITIONS AND WITHDRAWALS Program incompletes affect the student’s satisfactory progress status by lowering their grade point average because students receive 0% credit for unfinished work. Repetitions and withdrawals have no effect on the student’s satisfactory progress status.
01/31/2014 Page 21 of 61
RETURN TO TITLE IV FUNDS
The law requires that when you withdraw during a payment period, the amount of SFA program assistance that you have earned up to that point is determined by a specific formula. If you received (or the school received on your behalf) less assistance than the amount you earned, you will be able to receive those additional funds. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned. For the purpose of determining the amount you owe, you shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any of the following occurs: a. You notify school of your withdrawal or the actual date of withdrawal; b. the School terminates your enrollment; c. You fail to attend classes for a 14 day period; d. You fail to return from a leave of absence. In this case, the date of withdrawal shall be deemed to be the last date of recorded attendance. The amount of assistance that you have earned is determined on a pro‐rata basis. That is, if you complete 30 percent of the payment period, you can earn 30 percent of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have completed more than 60 percent of the payment period or period enrollment, you earn all of your assistance. If you received excess funds that must be returned, your school must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of
Your institutional charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of your funds, or
The entire amount of excess funds.
If the amount paid is more than the amount owed, then a refund will be made within 45 days of withdrawal. If the amount owed is more than the amount paid, then you will have to make arrangements to pay it. Sample Return to Title IV Calculation for student who failed to return from Leave of Absence and Withdrew from program.
Program: Cosmetology Academic Year: 900.00 Hours
Start Date: 4/14/2012 Program Length: 1,600.00 Hours
Withdraw Date: 10/09/2012 Completed: 174.50 Hours
Last Day Attended: 05/22/2012 Scheduled as of LDA: 202.00 Hours
Any loan funds that you must return, you (or your parent for a PLUS LOAN) repay in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note. That is, you make scheduled payments to the holder of the loan over a period of time. If you are responsible for returning grant funds, you do not have to return the full amount. The law provides that you are not required to return 50% of the grant assistance that you receive that is your responsibility to repay. Any amount that you do have to return is a grant overpayment, and you must make arrangements with your school or the Department of Education to return the funds. Students are advised that they may owe money to the school if they withdraw, as the California or Kansas State refund Policy will apply for contract purposes.

BELLUS ACADEMY Poway – El Cajon – National City – Manhattan
Financial Aid Code of Conduct
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires educational institutions to develop and comply with a code of conduct that prohibits conflicts of interest for financial aid personnel [HEOA § 487 (a)(25)]. Any Bellus Academy, officer, employee, or agent who has responsibilities with respect to student educational loans must comply with this code of conduct. The following provisions bring Bellus Academy, into compliance with the federal law [HEOA § 487 (e)].
1. Neither Bellus Academy – Poway, El Cajon, National City and/or Manhattan (“the Academies”), as institutions, nor any individual officer, employee or agent shall enter into any revenue‐sharing arrangements with any lender. A revenue‐sharing arrangement means an arrangement between the Academies and a lender under which the lender provides or issues loans to students attending the Academies or to the families of such students; and the Academies recommend the lender or the loan products of the lender and in exchange, the lender pays a fee or provides other material benefits, including revenue or profit sharing, to the Academies or their agents.
2. No officer or employee of the Academies who is employed in the financial aid office or who otherwise has
responsibilities with respect to education loans, or agent who has responsibilities with respect to education loans, or any of their family members, shall solicit or accept any gift from a lender, guarantor, or servicer of education loans. For purposes of this prohibition, the term “gift” means any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, or other item having a monetary value of more than a de minimus amount.
3. An officer or employee of the Academies who is employed in the financial aid office or who otherwise has
responsibilities with respect to education loans, or an agent who has responsibilities with respect to education loans, shall not accept from any lender or affiliate of any lender any fee, payment, or other financial benefit (including the opportunity to purchase stock) as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or other contract to provide services to a lender or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans.
4. The Academies shall not: a) for any first‐time borrower, assign, through award packaging or other methods, the
