Factors for measuring the student’s progress toward satisfactory completion of the program include maintaining:
- A minimum cumulative Theory grade level of 70% or higher.
- A minimum cumulative academic level of 70% or higher on practical skill assessments.*
- To determine whether a student meets the academic requirements for Satisfactory progress, theory and practical grades are averaged together to give a cumulative academic grade of 70% or higher.
- A minimum cumulative attendance of 90% of their scheduled hours**
*To meet the state practical requirements for graduation, students must complete all assigned practical skill assessments. See LEARNING PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES.
**To determine your rate of attendance, divide the cumulative number of hours completed by the scheduled hours to date.
A student who has not achieved the minimum cumulative GPA of 70% and/or who has not successfully completed at least a cumulative rate of attendance of 90% is not eligible for Title IV assistance, if applicable, unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal of the determination that resulted in a status of Financial Aid Probation.
Students who receive a GPA at the time of graduation, withdrawal or termination from the program less than 70% are considered failing the theory portion of the program. According to the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, students considered failing the theory portion of the program will not receive credit for those hours and will be required to repeat all of their theory. Students considered failing theory will not be permitted to take their state exam.
