Formal Satisfactory Progress Evaluations in both attendance and academics will occur when students reach:
| Cosmetology 1000 clock hours | Makeup 80 clock hours |
| Esthetics 600 clock hours | Waxing 75 clock hours |
| Nail Care 250 clock hours |
| Program Name | 1st SAP Evaluation Period Ends | 2nd SAP Evaluation Period Ends |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetology (1000 hours) | 450 actual hours and 13 weeks | 900 actual hours and 26 weeks |
| Esthetics (600 hours) | 300 actual hours and 9 weeks | N/A |

The first evaluation will occur no later than the midpoint of the academic year. The SAP evaluations are completed within seven (7) school business days of the student reaching the evaluation points.
At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 90% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum 111.11% time frame allowed.
The following grading system is used to evaluate a student’s academic ability:
- Examinations are given in all subjects.
- If a student receives an UnSatisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation, the Future Professional Advisor will meet in person with the student, the evaluation will be reviewed and signed by the student acknowledging their unsatisfactory status. The evaluation is maintained in the student’s financial file. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation will reflect if the student’s evaluation will impact the student’s eligibility for Financial Aid. The student may request to review their Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation from the Financial Services Leader or Future Professional Advisor.
The following grading scale is used for theory progress:
A = 94 – 100% = 4.00 B = 87 – 93% = 3.00 C = 80 – 86% = 2.00 Failing = Below 80% = 1.5
The state of New York requires that a student have an accumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.00:
A = 94 – 100% = 4.00 B = 87 – 93% = 3.00 C = 80 – 86% = 2.00 Failing = Below 80% = 1.5
Practical Skills are graded by instructor approval in CourseKey Skill Tracker or guest ticket. Approval from an instructor represents a grade of 80% or higher. No approval indicates a score of less than 80% and the student has not met minimum satisfactory standards on practical applications. The student is required to continue the practical application until they receive approval from the instructor. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments.
