TRANSFER STUDENTS
Transfer students are accepted at Inner State Beauty School, but we do not have a program for refresher courses.
1. Inner State does not guarantee acceptance of all the hours earned at another school. It may be necessary to test the student on
theory and practical information to insure that their knowledge is equivalent to the number of hours they wish to transfer.
The school manager evaluates the tests and student transcripts, if available, to determine appropriate credit, even if it is lower
than their transferrable hours. Acceptance of transfer hours is indicated on the enrollment agreement.
2. Transfer hours are received directly from the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology. Transfer hours must be received by the school
before they can be used. If you begin school without the transfer hours, the hours cannot later be used at Inner State.
3. Inner State only accepts cosmetology related hours from high school cosmetology courses as transferred to us by the Ohio State Board.
4. Students transferring from Inner State must request the transfer in writing and complete an exit interview. The student’s hours
will be sent to the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology in accordance with state board rules.
5. A licensed nail technician or esthetician may apply 200 hours toward the cosmetology course. To receive credit the student must provide
the school a copy of their license. The license must be turned in prior to the start of the course and may need to be updated.
6. Students wishing to transfer to Inner State should complete a transfer application. Inner State will contact the references and check on any
possible legal issues including acts of violence. Either of these will lead to Inner State denying admission to transfer students.
7. Inner State will hold the student hours at the Ohio Board of cosmetology until the student ledger account is paid in full. So, if you owe the
school money, you must be paid in full to use the hours at another school
8. If a student is discontinued having received credit for transfer hours, the transfer hours are counted as both attempted and completed hours.
ORIENTATION PERIOD

not meet the attendance standard during the first month of school. If you are expelled you may have a financial obligation to the

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
The goal of this policy is to provide some guidelines on proper social networking etiquette. This policy seeks to recognize the fact that in
certain contexts, social media can extend the bounds of school related activity to include out of school activities.
Positive uses for Social Media:
1. Stay in contact with people you know.
2. Extend your network personally and professionally.
3. Formalize a relationship with someone you met in person by
connecting online.
4. Establish new relationships with people you may not otherwise meet.
5. Learn who your acquaintances are connected to and ask for
introductions.
6. Establish your credentials and build your reputation.
7. Connect with thought-leaders and learn about new trends,
and see what others are saying about key issues and news.
8. Become an authority in your area of expertise.
9. Be the go-to-person for information and referrals.
10. Build trust.
Sharing information and engaging others helps you become
more trusted over time and people do business with people
they trust.
The internet is not anonymous, nor does it forget: Everything written on the web can be traced back to its author one way or another.
Information is backed up and posts in one venue are often replicated in others. Use good judgment about content and respect privacy laws.
Every student or employee is personally responsible for the content they publish on any form of user-generated media. Do not provide
misleading, false or confidential information about the school, the Inner State staff, students or customers.
There is no clear line between your work life and your personal life: With the ease of tracing authors back from their posts, finding the
actual identity of a poster from a few posts and a screen name is not impossible. This creates an avenue for outside parties to link your
personal writings to those you've done in a professional capacity. Always be respectful and write as if everyone knows you.
The golden rule: Never write or say anything you wouldn't say out loud to all parties involved. Treat others the way you would want to be
treated and don’t use social media to subject the employees, students or customers of Inner State to ridicule or intentional infliction of mental
distress. Truth is not a defense. Just because something may be true does not mean it is ok to broadcast it to the world.
Avoid hazardous materials: You may post content that is not threatening, obscene, a violation of intellectual property rights or privacy
laws, or otherwise injurious or illegal. You may not cite or refer to the staff, students or customers without their approval.
Maintain confidentiality: Be respectful of confidential, proprietary or insider information in regards to Inner State Beauty School. This
also means that the personal information of the employees, students and customers should not be shared on or disclosed through social media.
Commenting on your own or another's posts to create a false sense of support is not cool and neither is plagiarism.
Be authentic: Identify yourself. This will add credibility to your profile and you personally. If you are not comfortable posting something
under your real name, it is probably something you shouldn’t post. Steer clear of posting or linking to any materials that are defamatory,
harassing or indecent.
Do not return fire: If a negative post or comment is found online about Inner State, someone you know, or yourself, do not counter with
another negative post. Instead, offer to remedy the situation through positive action. Be professional in all situations, especially when
accepting criticism
The last word: Representation of your personal opinions as being endorsed by the Inner State Beauty School, it’s staff, customers, or student
body in whole or part is strictly prohibited. You may not use the Inner State name, likeness or logo to promote any opinion, product, cause,
brand, or candidate.
PRIVACY POLICY
Neither students nor staff may make recordings, videos or photos or likenesses of the school, other students, customers, the staff or
school property without the written permission of the school director and the person in question. No student may record a class in
any fashion unless they have written permission from the instructor and the recording device is visible to everyone in the
classroom. Recordings, if permitted, may only be used for the individual students course study. Neither students nor staff may
place comments or posts on social media, or online, that reflect negatively on the school, its students, staff, administration or
campus. All institutional records are maintained according to NACCAS, state and federal law. Records are kept for a minimum of six years
from the date the student began school at Inner State Beauty School.
DISTANCE LEARNING
Inner State does not offer distance learning. But, in the case of a emergency situation that causes the school to temporarily shut down,
Inner State will attempt to offer a limited amount of distance learning. It would require the purchase of a distance learning course from
the coursebook manufacturer and is typically limited the theory portion of the course.
EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE AND JOB PLACEMENT
10
The school offers employment assistance through job posting on the career board located in the main hallway. While Inner State
cannot guarantee employment, feel free to contact a staff member if you need employment assistance.
RECRUITING
Inner State Beauty School does not recruit students that are currently attending another school.
STUDENT RECORDS
All institutional records are maintained according to NACCAS, state and federal law. Records are kept for a minimum of six years from the
date the student began school at Inner state Beauty School. It is each student’s responsibility to make sure the school has a current
address and phone numbers. Any notice mailed to the student at the address on file will be considered received. Inner State complies
with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. We do not sell or release records to third parties not covered by the act unless requested
to do so by the student or if under the age of eighteen their parents or guardian of dependent minors. Access to student records will be
provided without written consent for legal or accreditation purposes. Inner State Beauty School guarantees the right of students, and their
parents if the student is a dependent minor, access to their cumulative records. The school will also provide the proper supervision and
interpretation of student records when they are reviewed. Student requests to see their academic or administrative file must be in
writing. The manager will set up a meeting to review their records with a staff member present.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY
The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is applied to all full and part time students enrolled at Inner State Beauty Scholl in a NACCAS
approved program and scheduled for a particular category of attendance. It is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students have access to
the policy prior to enrollment. The policy complies with the guidelines established by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts
and Sciences (NACCAS) and federal regulations established by the United States Department of Education.
1. EVALUATION PERIODS
Students are apprised of their cumulative academic and cumulative attendance status based on actual hours, as follows:
Cosmetology 450 hours, 900 hours, 1200 hours (actual)
Esthetics 300 hours (actual)
Advanced Esthetics 375 hours (actual)
Natural Hair Stylist 225 hours (actual)
Manicuring 100 hours (actual)
The institution operates all programs according to a schedule of 900 hours per academic year of instruction. The frequency of evaluations
ensure that students will have at least one evaluation by the midpoint of the course. Transfer students are evaluated at the midpoint of their
contracted hours or the established evaluation periods, whichever comes first. SAP evaluation periods are based on actual contracted hours
at the institution and must be completed within 7 school days following the evaluation points.
2. ATTENDANCE PROGRESS EVALUATIONS
Students are required to attend a minimum of 67% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance schedule in order to be
considered maintaining satisfactory attendance progress. Evaluations are conducted at the end of each evaluation period to determine if
the student has met the minimum requirements. The attendance percentage is determined by dividing the total hours accrued by the total
number of hours scheduled. At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 67%
cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate
within 150% of the course length.
3. MAXIMUM TIME FRAME
The maximum time (may not exceed 150% of the course length, based on 100% clock hour attendance schedule. Students not completing
the course within the maximum time frame will no longer be eligible for federal student aid, but may continue in the course as a private
pay student if all other academic and attendance requirements are met.`
Course Max Weeks Max Hours
Cosmetology (full time, 32.5 hours per week) 1500 hours 70 weeks 2250 hours
Cosmetology (part time, 20 hours per week) 1500 hours 113 weeks 2250 hours
Esthetics (full time 32.5 hours per week) 600 hours 29 weeks 943 hours
Esthetics (part time 20 hours per week) 600 hours 45 weeks 943 hours
Advanced Esthetics (full time 32.5 hours per week) 750 hours 35 weeks 1137 hours
Advanced Esthetics (part time 20 hours per week) 750 hours 56 weeks 1125 hours
Manicuring (part time, 20 hours per week) 200 hours 15 weeks 300 hours
Manicuring (full time 32.5 hours per week) 200 hours 9 weeks 300 hours
Natural Hair Stylist (part time, 20 hours per week) 450 hours 34 weeks 675 hours
Manicuring (full time 32.5 hours per week) 450 hours 21 weeks 675 hours
4. ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATIONS
Students will take written tests based on the theory bookwork assigned during school and for homework. In addition, students will be
required to complete labs tests that cover practical work completed. At the end of each evaluation period, a student must have achieved a
cumulative grade average of at least 75% based on the score of their theory work (test grades, homework, etc.) and practical/ clinical work.
Students will be judged on the following numerical scale:
93% - 100% EXCELLENT
85% - 92.99% VERY GOOD
75% - 84.99% SATISFACTORY
0% - 74.99% UNSATISFACTORY
5. DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS STATUS
11
Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are considered to be making satisfactory
academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. All students have access to their satisfactory academic progress reports and can get
a copy in the administrative offices. They will receive a copy of their report at the time of the evaluation if the evaluation negatively
affects their satisfactory academic progress. Students deemed not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress may have their Title IV
Funding interrupted, unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of probation.
6. WARNING
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning. They are considered to be
making satisfactory academic progress while during the warning period. The student will be advised in writing on the actions required to
attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation and what, if any potential consequence could be with regard to maintaining
financial aid. If at the end of the warning period, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements, the student
will be ineligible to receive Title IV funds. The student will be placed on probation if the student appeals a negative progress
determination, prevails upon appeal and is mathematically able to achieve satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation period or
is placed on an academic plan which allows for achievement of SAP standards within the student’s maximum time frame.
7. PROBATION (probation is not automatic and an appeal must be submitted in writing)
Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period may, in certain
circumstances, appeal the decision to be placed on probation. Reasons for which students may appeal a negative progress determination
include death of a relative, an injury or illness of the student, or any other allowable unforeseen special or mitigating circumstance. If they
prevail on appeal they will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress while during the probationary period and eligible for
funding during that time, if applicable. Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. These students are placed on an academic plan and must be able
to meet requirements set forth in the academic plan by the end of the next evaluation period. An academic plan is a plan that outlines how
the student would be able to regain satisfactory progress by the next evaluation. The student will be advised in writing of the actions
required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. Students who are progressing according to their specific academic
plan at the subsequent evaluation will be considered making Satisfactory Academic Progress. If at the end of the probationary period, the
student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements required for satisfactory academic progress or by the academic
plan, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory academic progress and, if applicable, students will not be deemed eligible to
receive Title IV funds.
8. RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Students may re-establish satisfactory academic progress and Title IV aid, as applicable, by meeting minimum attendance and academic
requirements by the end of the warning or probationary period. To become eligible if their aid has been lost, a student will meet with the
School Manager or Director at the end of each month, or upon request, to re-evaluate their progress. When he/she meets the minimum
standard they will again be eligible for aid.
9. INTERRUPTIONS, WITHDRAWALS AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE
If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for any reason, the student will return to school in the same progress status as their previous
enrollment. Days elapsed while not in school, on a leave of absence, will extend the student’s contract period and maximum time frame by
the same number of days that they were out of school. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and re-enroll will return in
the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal.
10. APPEAL PROCESS
If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory academic progress, the student may appeal the determination within ten calendar
days. Reasons for which students may appeal a negative progress determination include death of a relative, an injury or illness of the
student, or any other allowable special or mitigating circumstance. The student must submit a written appeal to the school describing why
they failed to meet satisfactory academic progress standards, along with supporting documentation of the reasons why the determination
should be reversed. This information should include what has changed about the student’s situation that will allow them to achieve
Satisfactory Academic Progress by the next evaluation point. Appeal documents will be reviewed and a decision will be made and reported
to the student within 30 calendar days. The appeal and decision documents will be retained in the student file. If the student prevails upon
appeal, the satisfactory academic progress determination will be reversed and federal financial aid will be reinstated, if applicable.
11. COURSE INCOMPLETES, REPETITIONS, NON-CREDIT REMEDIAL COURSES, TRANSFERS
Course incompletes, repetitions and non-credit remedial courses are not applicable at this school and do not have an effect on satisfactory
progress. Transfer hours from another institution will be counted as both attempted and earned hours for the purpose of determining when
the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted.
12. IMPORTANT
a). Evaluations for attendance and grades are done on a CUMULATIVE basis. They take into account your entire enrollment, not just the
current month. Students may request copies of their current or previous SAP evaluations from the school office.
b). If expelled for lack of satisfactory academic progress, you will be ineligible for federal aid until you are in good standing. You will be
placed on a payment plan to make up the difference in funding.
ATTENDANCE POLICIES
In order for a student to avoid probation and possible expulsion, they must attend school regularly. Inner State can only have
successful graduates if the students are serious and maintain consistent attendance. Students are required to meet the scheduled
hours as indicated on their enrollment contract. Clock hours are recorded to make sure the required amount of hours are earned.

circumstances may arise after you are enrolled, students not in attendance for will be expelled. This is in addition to the cumulative
attendance minimum of 67%. Reminder, missing 14 consecutive calendar days will result in loss of federal financial aid grants or loans.
Probation: Our goal is to help you become a successful graduate of Inner State. In addition to our Satisfactory Academic and Attendance
Policy (SAP), Inner State will give you feedback on your grades and attendance. We reserve the right to put you on a month probation to
help improve your attendance or grades. During the probation you will have to meet the cumulative 75% grades standard and your
attendance for that month must meet the 67% attendance standard. If you don’t meet these you will be suspended or expelled.
EXCUSED ABSENCES
Each day that classes are held is counted when determining the attendance rate and over contract fees if you graduate late. The student’s
contract end date can extended by medical or legal issues. Proof of the medical or legal issue must be provided to the school so we can extend
your graduation rate. This does not affect the attendance rate for satisfactory academic progress purposes. The student may make up any
work done for a grade during the time missed. It doesn’t excuse the student from completing the assignment exam due during the period
missed. Whenever possible, please inform the instructor, turn in assignments and arrange to makeup classwork to be missed. A positive
covid test can also
LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY

emergency day occurs on a Saturday or when South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools has a scheduled holiday, check the school closings.
We use the ILERT system and post our closings on WKYC TV ( www.wkyc.com).
FINANCIAL AID (including verification and UED)
Students must maintain satisfactory academic and attendance progress to remain eligible for financial aid programs. For More
Information about qualifications to apply for financial aid contact the Financial Aid Officer. To receive Federal financial aid, a
student must have a high school diploma or GED.
Pell Grant: If you apply for a Department of Education Pell Grant, federal funds may be available to you for up to 750 (esthetics)
or 1500 (cosmetology) hours worth of coursework, depending on the course. This federal grant is need based and does not have to
be repaid. Student’s qualifying for Pell grant aid will be notified by email and phone call. The FAFSA can be completed on your
own or in the school admissions office. When you receive a grant, you obligate yourself to maintain good attendance and grades
and to complete the program. If you don’t complete the program you may have to repay some of the grant money received.
Applications for a Pell Grant may be made on your own or in the admissions office. Our school code is 017070. Federal Pell
Grants may be used for a maximum of the equivalent of 12 semesters (600%) combining all your post-secondary schools. After 12
semesters the student is responsible for paying the balance due the school. Professional Judgement (and dependency override):
The financial aid office may take into account a student’s special circumstances to make adjustments to student’s expected family
contribution for educational expenses, standard budget, and/or financial aid dependency status as determined by federal guidelines.
For more information, please see the financial aid person. Verification: Often a fafsa application will result in the student being
verified. When you are verified it means you must document your income and/or your education record. It is the student’s
responsibility to provide the school with the needed documentation. An admissions representative will meet with the student to
review the verification requirements. Verification documentation should be submitted before starting school, but if your verified
while in school, you should submit your verification documentation within 30 days. Failure to properly document your record when
verified will result in the loss of student’s financial aid. The student will then have to pay the balance due as a private pay student.
Unusual Enrollment History (UEH): Students with an unusual enrollment history must document that they received academic credit
from previous schools in order to receive a current Pell grant. The Department of Education goal is to stop students from repeatedly
attending school to receive refund checks without successful completion of academic credit. The student must provide Inner State
with proof of academic credit from each school attended. Access the school list from the National Student Loan Data System
(www.NSLDS.ed.gov). Sign in with your FSAID and print the list. If Inner State is one of the schools, no further action is needed.
14
Proof can include transcripts, diplomas, report cards, etc. You must prove academic credit received, for each school attended, during
the last four financial aid years receiving Federal Pell grants/ Student loans. If you cannot provide proof for every school, you are
denied use of a Pell grant.
Appeal Process: If the student does not provide Inner State with proof of academic credit for one or more schools, the student must
provide documentation, or an acceptable explanation, as to why they could not provide proof for each school. Some acceptable reasons
for an unusual enrollment history include: Personal reasons such as unforeseen circumstances, physical or mental medical issues, legal
issues, military obligations, loss of employment, outside commitments, family emergency and change in where the student is living.
Academic reasons can include unexpected academic challenges, or the academic program did not meet the student’s needs, as
determined by the student. Inner State then determines if the explanation supports the reasons given by the student for failure to prove
academic credit. Third party documentation should be provided to the extent possible. Inner State reserves the right to request
additional documentation to support the students claim. It must also seem clear to Inner State that the student did not enroll only to
receive financial aid refunds. Academic Plan: If denied, you can regain Pell grant eligibility by completing the equivalent of at least
one half of the enrollment period (188 hours in esthetics or 225 hours in cosmetology). You must be in good standing (SAP) and
meeting the satisfactory academic progress requirements at that point in time. Any disbursements are retroactive to the start of the
payment period.
VA Students: Veterans Administration benefits are available to a veteran or family member of a veteran if you qualify. Eligible students may
use their GI Bill® at our school.
Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation (BVR): A state fund which pays for a person with a mental or physical handicap to obtain a trade.
This can include learning disabilities. Student hours are totaled and sent to BVR for payment. Ohio Means Jobs (WIA): Apply for admission
to the Ohio Means Jobs program. If you are approved they will forward a Referral to the school.
KITS, BOOKS, AND SUPPLIES
Students receive a uniform, kit, and books at the start of the course. Specific items in the kit may be held back until the first portion of the
course is complete. Any lost, stolen or depleted items must be replaced by the student.
GRADING STANDARDS
The grading standards are the same for all courses. Students must maintain a 75% grade point average to remain in good standing.
Courses are taught with a combination of theory and practical. The theory tests are written, the practical tests are given on a criterion basis.
Students must receive a score of a least 75% to pass each test. Tests with a score below 75% may be retaken. When an exam is re-taken, the
higher of the scores will become the student’s permanent score on that test. Courses are taught in English using a combination of theory and
practical. Tests must be turned in immediately after taking the exam and may not be kept by the student. Neglecting to take exams on a
timely basis is grounds for dismissal from the school. A student is required to take a test any time the class is taking that test, even if they
have previously taken the test. Grading System: The grade scale is as follows:
93%- 100% Excellent (A) 85%- 92.99% Good (B) 75%- 84.99% Average (C) below 75% (F) Unsatisfactory

WITHDRAWAL AND SETTLEMENT POLICY
This policy applies to all terminations for any reason, by either party.
16
a.) An applicant rejected by the school will be given a full refund of all monies paid. A cancellation of the enrollment contract by the
student, parent or guardian, in writing, within 3 business days of signing the contract will be given a full refund of all money paid, regardless
whether the student has actually started school. After three business days, but before training has begun, the student will receive a full refund
of all monies paid less a termination fee of $100, regardless of the course enrolled. A rescheduled course will re-start the 3 day period as of
the date the student was notified. Refunds, including Title IV credit balances, are paid within 45 days.
b.) A course canceled after the student enrolls, but before instruction has begun, the school at its option shall provide a full refund of all
monies paid or provide completion of the course. If the school closes after classes have begun, the school, at its option will either participate
in a teach-out agreement or provide a pro rata refund of all monies paid. If the school cancels a course and ceases to offer instruction after
students have enrolled and instruction begun, the school at its option can; provides a pro rata refund for all students transferring to another
school based on the hours accepted by the receiving school; provide completion of the course; participate in a teach-out agreement; or
provide a refund of all monies paid.
c.) Books, kit and uniform, once issued, become the property of the student and are non-refundable.
d.) A $100 fee is charged for re-enrollments, re-enrollments, termination, changing a course, including adding or dropping the advanced
course. Students that re-enroll must sign a new contract at the current prices.
e.) All withdrawal and settlement calculations are done at the tuition rate on the student contract and will be based on the actual hours they
attended as of the last date of attendance. Withdrawals for students with passing and failing grades are handled the same.
f.) Students are terminated after 30 days of continuous absence from school or if they voluntarily stop attending classes. Unofficial
withdrawals are determined by the school through monitoring attendance at least every 30 days. A student failing to return from a leave of
absence will be terminated as of the earlier of the scheduled date of return or the date the student notifies the school that they will not be
returning. Any money due the student shall be refunded within 45 days from the date it’s determined that the student is no longer in school
either officially or unofficially.
g.) Students wishing to withdraw must submit written notice to: Inner State Beauty School, 5150 Mayfield Rd, Lyndhurst, OH 44124
h.) Refund Schedule:
Students who cancel after attending .0001% to 4.9% of the course are refunded 80% of the total tuition
Students who cancel after attending 5% to 9.9% of the course are refunded 70% of the total tuition
Students who cancel after attending 0% to 14.9% of the course are refunded 60% of the total tuition
Students who cancel after attending 15% to 24.9% of the course are refunded 55% of the total tuition
Students who cancel after attending 25% to 49.9% of the course are refunded 30% of the total tuition
Students who cancel after attending 50% to 100% of the course are refunded 0% of the total tuition
The money due the school will be determined by dividing the student’s clock hours scheduled, as of their last date of attendance, by the total
number of hours in the course. An administrative fee of $100 will be assessed to a student that terminates early. For a student terminating
training after completing more than 50% of the period of enrollment, the student will owe the entire contract price of the course, including
tuition, fees, and other charges. The school director reserves the right to issue a refund that exceeds the minimum tuition refund schedule due
to mitigating circumstances.
i). The cancellation date is determined by the postmark on the written notification or the date the notice is delivered to the school in person.
j). The refund schedule applies when the student withdraws, is expelled, or leaves a course for any reason. The procedure when changing a
course is to perform a withdrawal calculation and withdraw the student from the first course and then re-enroll the student in the second
course. If the total owed from the first course is greater than the cost of the second course, the difference in tuition is added to the cost of the
second course.
k.) Costs in addition to tuition are stated in the catalog or the enrollment agreement. Students are responsible for any additional items
charged to their student ledger while in school.
l). Collection procedures shall reflect ethical business practices and acknowledge the existence of the Withdrawal and Settlement
Policy. Students sent to collections will incur the maximum fees allowed by Ohio law. Collection correspondence regarding cancellation
and settlement from the school to any third parties will clearly acknowledge the existence of the school withdrawal and settlement policy.
If contracts for tuition are sold to third parties, that third party will comply with the withdrawal and settlement policy of the institution.
RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS POLICIES
Return of Funds: The Department of Education may require that a student repay the Department of Education a portion of their
award amount if they do not complete at least 60% of the hours in the enrollment period for which they use the Pell Grant funds.
A student on financial aid will be given written notice detailing the amount that must be repaid if applicable. The repayment must
be made within 45 days or the students account goes to the Department of Education for further collections. This repayment is in
addition to any balance the student owes the school when they withdraw from classes.
a.) An official withdrawal date is used in the return to Title IV calculation of the student’s federal financial aid and is the date
indicated on the withdrawal form.
b.) An un-official withdrawal date is used if a student stops attending without officially withdrawing from the enrolled course. Each
instructor monitors daily attendance and notifies the financial aid office if a student is not in attendance for either 10 school days or 14
calendar days, whichever is longer. The withdrawal date used is then the last date of physical attendance.
c.) When a student receiving Title IV funds leaves school a return to Title IV calculation is completed upon confirmation of the withdrawal
date. As a clock hour school Inner State uses the greater of actual hours attended or hours scheduled to attend as of the last date of physical
attendance. Inner State does not participate in the federal loan programs. If excess Pell Grant funds are collected the school will refund
within 14 days.
d.) If excess Pell grant funds are collected and the student is owed a refund of the Pell money paid, the refund will be mailed within 45 days
of the last date of physical attendance. The Title IV order of refund is Pell grant, then other federal, county, state, local financial aid, then
student refund.
17
e.) In some circumstances a student who has withdrawn from Inner State may be eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement of all or some
portion of Title IV financial aid. Inner State will automatically use all or a portion of a student’s post withdrawal disbursement of Pell Grant
funds for tuition charges/fees.

attend advanced education events whenever possible. Students are only able to earn hours at events outside the school when
scheduled in advance with the approval of the school manager and Inner State has a least one instructor in attendance.
SANITARY RULES
The Ohio State Board of Cosmetology has developed a list of rules by which all beauty salons and school must operate. These rules
are posted in a conspicuous place in each location and are known as the Sanitary Rules. Copies of the sanitary rules are posted
throughout the school. It is the responsibility of all students to help maintain the school in a safe and sanitary condition.
CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE POLICY
Students are required to act in a manner that will reflect positively of themselves, the school and the beauty industry. Professional standards
must be maintained by the students and staff at all times and lack of professionalism will not be tolerated. It is incumbent on each student
and employee to help identify suspected cheating, drug trafficking, substance abuse, illegal acts or serious violations of the school rules.
Students are required to comply with all school rules and regulations as outlined in this handbook and reviewed during the orientation
session, plus any posted additions or changes. Failure to do so may result in one or more of the following:
Sent Home/Clocked Out: Being dismissed from school for the day. When a student is sent home they will be given a verbal warning with a
note in their student file. Students that are clocked out have 10 minutes to leave school grounds.
Probation: A period of evaluation imposed on the student to ascertain their fitness to continue as a student at Inner State. This is a
temporary measure to allow students to correct a unwanted behavior and is not related to satisfactory progress.
Suspension: The temporary removal of a student from the school. A student may be suspended for violations of school rules or regulations.
Suspensions are not counted against you for attendance purposes. Repeated suspensions will result in expulsion.
Discontinue: The removal of a student from the school by the school for procedural violations of school rules. If you are discontinued you
may re-enroll, but you will sign a new contract at the current contract price and pay the re-enrollment fee.
Expulsion: The permanent removal of a student from the school. Students may be expelled at the discretion of the school manager
or director for violations of school rules or acts of violence or threats toward other students, staff or employees of Inner State.
Appeal: The student may appeal a suspension, discontinuance or expulsion within 10 calendar days. The appeal must submitted in
writing to the school director with supporting documentation of the reasons why the determination should be reversed. Appeal
documents will be reviewed and a decision will be made and reported to the student within 30 calendar days. Students are entitled to
one appeal. If the student prevails upon appeal, the expulsion will be reversed and they will return to school at the same hours,
grades and financial situation as when they left. If the decision is not reversed, the student attendance will be terminated as of the
date on the letter notifying the student. The appeal documents will be retained in the student file.
Last Date of Attendance: The date the student is discontinued is the date used for the calculation of any refund. When a student is
discontinued the school performs a withdrawal calculation and a return of funds calculation. Either or both of these may require the
student to re-pay funds to the school or the Department of Education.
SUGGESTIONS
If you have a concern or complaint don’t sit around and talk about it. Let the school manager know you have a concern. In addition, the
school director is available by appointment. In the alternative, feel free to use the suggestion boxes located by the front door. We need to
know how you feel about your education so please keep us informed. If we don’t know we can’t help you.
CURRICULUM
We follow the general course curriculum requirements as set by the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology. The material is designed to give you
the background, foundation and specific content material you will need to successfully begin your professional beauty career. The Ohio State
Board of Cosmetology gives school the total required hours (CORE). The school must meet at least Clinic 50% CORE and Theory 25%
CORE. This allows the school some flexibility to account for variations in attendance for each individual student. Inner State will help you
19
learn the theory and practical material needed to help you pass the state board of cosmetology exams. Each student is given a two hour
orientation period as part of the cosmetology laws and rules section of the curriculum. Because there is not time to learn every single service
that you may encounter in a salon setting, Ohio requires continuing education for its licensees
CURRICULUM, PROGRAMS AND OBJECTIVES
Inner State teaches the basic licensing courses for cosmetology, esthetics and manicuring. You can earn an advanced license by working
in the field for a year and then taking the advanced exam at the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology.
Typically, we offer only live courses here at the physical school location. If an emergency or other situation arises that would indicate a
need for temporary distance learning, we are prepared with a distance learning curriculum. The classes are presented using the Zoom
classroom, or similar system, and the Milady online course as needed.
PROGRAM AND OBJECTIVES 1500 HOUR COSMETOLOGY COURSE: Our Cosmetology Course is designed to teach
and allow each individual the opportunity to practice the art of hair styling on all types of hair. Inner State follows the Ohio State
Board of Cosmetology recommended clinical and theory core hours as indicated in the curriculum below. Each student is expected
to complete the earned hours in each category to be eligible for the licensing examination. By the end of the cosmetology course,
each student will have received 1500 hours of state board approved training. They will learn how to give a professional shampoo,
learn the art of hair shaping and cutting. The cosmetology license is a general beauty license that will allow the licensee to work as
a beautician, manicurist, esthetician or stylist. The student will be able to give a professional manicure and facial. They will also
know how to mix hair colorings to achieve the desired shade and apply solution in a professional manner in order to receive
optimum results. The student will learn to color hair, perm or relax hair and learn state board cutting techniques. A graduate of this
course will be able to take the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology examination. There are three components to the cosmetology
education, theory (book work and lecture), practical (practicing on each other or mannequins, and clinical (working on actual
customers). Students begin as junior cosmetology students. They achieve senior status by testing out of the junior program after
they earn approximately 300 hours. All students will have theory class on a regular basis. The junior students then work on their
skills in the junior practical room. Senior students will work in the clinic, in the senior practice room, or study in the study hall.
Full time and Saturday students will have one-half hour for lunch as assigned by the instructor. Students are given tests after
completion of the chapter. Part time students have theory during the weekday evening hours or as assigned by the instructor. Part
time junior students work on practicals during the week and on Saturdays. Part time senior students have theory during the week
along with both clinical and practical time. Saturdays will be spent improving their skills in the student clinic. Tests are primarily
multiple choice to correspond with the State Board of Cosmetology test, but will also include essay and fill in. We use the Milady
Standard Cosmetology Textbook, Milady Standard Practical Workbook, Milady Standard Theory Workbook and Milady Standard
Exam Review along with corresponding lesson plans and support materials. Theory is taught through a combination of lecture,
handouts, videos, workbooks and reading. Practical is taught through demonstration, lecture and hands on practice.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION
Every staff member is responsible for issuing a warning to the campus. An intruder should be announced by yelling, “Intruder”. In addition,
the warning will be issued through a meeting held with staff, student and customers. This or additional warnings will be located on our
information bulletin board which is located in the hallway near the time clock. Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should
report the circumstances to the Inner State Beauty School in person or by phone at (440) 442-4500.
If there is an emergency or dangerous situation that occurs on the campus, the student/staff must immediately dial 911 and notify the
administrative office. Inner State Beauty School will, without delay determine the content of the notification and inform the classroom
instructors, unless the notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist victims or to
contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. If the situation is unknown, the teacher or staff member will evacuate the
classroom. People should leave through closest exit and proceed to Aldi’s in the back and the parking lot in front of Aldi’s in the front of the
school. If an evacuation is not possible, the room should be put on lockdown. If the lockdown is due to an intruder, the doorways should be
barricaded to prevent entry from outside the classroom. Please contact an administrative staff member if there is a significant emergency.
They will determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system.

SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
The School educates the student community about sexual assaults and date rape through mandatory orientations. The Police Department
offers sexual assault education and information programs to students and employees upon request. If you are a victim of a sexual assault at
this institution, your first priority should be to get to a place of safety. You should then obtain necessary medical treatment. Inner State
Beauty School strongly advocates that a victim of sexual assault report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for evidence
collection and preservation. An assault on School grounds should be reported directly to a School official. Additionally, filing a Police report
is vital to:
- ensure that a victim of sexual assault receives the necessary medical treatment and tests, at no expense to the victim
- provide the opportunity for collection of evidence helpful in prosecution, which cannot be obtained later (ideally a victim of sexual assault
should not wash, douche, use the toilet, or change clothing prior to a medical/legal exam)
- assure the victim has access to free confidential counseling from counselors specifically trained in the area of sexual assault crisis
intervention. When a sexual assault victim contacts the Police Department, the Sex Crimes Unit will be notified as well. The victim of a
sexual assault may choose for the investigation to be pursued through the criminal justice system and the School Conduct Council, or only
the latter. A representative from the Police Department or the School will guide the victim through the available options and support the
victim in his or her decision.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION
In accordance to the "Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act" of 2000, which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and
Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the School is
providing a link to the AZ Sex Offender Information website. This act requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising
the campus community where law enforcement information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also
requires sex offenders already required to register in a State to provide notice of each institution of higher education in that State at which the
person is employed, carries a vocation, or is a student. The Ohio Attorney General is responsible for maintaining this information. Follow the
link below to access the Protecting Ohio Families website. http://sheriffalerts.com/cap_main.php?office=55149
THE CLERY ACT
The Clery Act requires higher education institutions to give timely warnings of crimes that represent a threat to the safety of students or
employees and to make public their campus security policies.

34
L-lockdown If necessary, review the lockdown procedure for your classroom.
I-inform If possible, inform everyone the status of the current situation as loudly as possible.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY
In accordance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, Inner State Beauty School has implemented a comprehensive drug and
alcohol abuse policy and a prevention program aimed at ensuring our campus community is drug- and alcohol-free. Inner State Beauty
School is a drug-free environment. No alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs are permitted in or around school property. Any student suspected
of being under the influence will be sent home for the day and face a possible suspension or expulsion. (the decision to dismiss a student is
solely at the discretion of Inner State Beauty School and need not be supported by actual proof of drug/alcohol abuse.) It is unlawful to sell,
furnish or provide alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 according to the State of Ohio. Any student distributing alcohol, illegal or
prescription drugs on or adjacent to school grounds will be immediately expelled. The local Lyndhurst police department will be notified of
any suspected distribution of illegal substances. Students taking over-the-counter medication that may affect functioning should inform the
instructor. Student participation may be terminated by School for the following causes: Possession and/ or distribution of alcohol or drugs in
or around school property, including motor vehicles.

FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA) POLICY
Under the authority of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), students are granted certain rights with respect to
their educational records. Inner State Beauty School has implemented the following FERPA Policy to inform students of their rights to access
institutional and financial aid information in their records. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of
1974 the school follows policies that:
1. Guarantees the right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the Institute receives a request
for access. A written request should be submitted to the School Director that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect.
The Director of Education will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place for the records inspection.
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 Institute to amend a record
should write the Director of Education, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should
be changed. If the Institute decides not to amend the record as requested, the Director of Education 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 Institute discloses personally identifiable information from the students education
records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The Institute discloses education records without a
student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.
A school official is a person employed by the Institute in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff
position; a person or company with whom the Institute has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using Institute
employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Advisory Committee; or a student
serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing
his or her tasks. A school 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 Institute.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the Institute 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
35
The Institute requires written authorization from a student or parent or guardian (in case of a minor) or graduate in order to release academic,
attendance, enrollment status, financial aid and/or any other information to agencies, prospective employers, or any other party seeking
information about the student. NACCAS reserves the right to inspect student records for any accreditation purposes. The institute requires
written consent from the student or guardian for release of records in response to each third party request unless otherwise required by law, or
when involving persons who need to know in cases of health or safety emergencies. Health and Safety Exemption: There are limited
exceptions to FERPA regulations under which the school is permitted to disclose education records or personally identifiable, non- directory
information, from educations records in connection with a health or safety emergency without student consent. The situation must present
imminent danger to a student, other students or members of the school community in order to qualify as an exception.
FIRE SAFETY and EMERGANCY EXITS

hours or a warning is given. If during the next evaluation they do not reach 80% they are put on probation and if they don’t reach
80% by the third evaluation then they are dismissed from school. A veteran dismissed from school may re-enroll as a private pay
student. When evaluating the satisfactory academic and attendance progress of a veteran it is based on term grades. Terms are
defined as the following: Cosmetology 1-450, 451-900, 901-1200 and 1201- 1500; Advanced Esthetics 1-375 and 376-750;

Inner State permits any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on
which the individual provides to the educational institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter
36
31 or 33 and ending on the earlier of the following dates: The date on payment from the VA is made to the institution or 90 days after the
date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the COE. In addition, Inner State ensures that it will not impose any
penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that
a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial
obligations due to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs under chapter 31 or 33.
