Students must complete the educational program within the maximum time frame, which is based on attending at least 80% of the scheduled hours.

| Cosmetology – 27.5 hours | 55 Weeks | 76 Weeks |
| Cosmetology -18 hours | 82 Weeks | 116 Weeks |

The maximum time frame calculation includes school published closures. Transfer students who need less than full course requirements, the maximum time frame will be determined based on 125% of the scheduled contracted hours. If any student enrolled fails to complete the program within the maximum time frame they will lose their eligibility for Title IV programs and will be terminated from the program. Students who exceed the maximum time frame may be permitted to continue enrollment, and be charged tuition fees accordingly, on a cash-pay basis. Whether a student pays out of pocket or receives Title IV Financial aid all hours attempted and completed are considered part of the Satisfactory Academic Progress calculation. For students with a disability that appeal, the student’s disability will be considered as a factor towards maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress.
It is important to note that SCHEDULED HOURS is the MAXIMUM amount of scheduled hours that a student can take to complete a program no matter which schedule they are enrolled in. Scheduled hours are NOT impacted by suspension or school closings (such as additional snow days beyond what the school builds into the schedule already. If a student is impacted by any of these occurrences, their ACTUAL graduation date will be pushed forward by the amount of time the occurrence takes place since the student is “off the schedule” during those times.
When SCHEDULED HOURS are maxed out, a student’s contract is ended. If a student has not completed their ACTUAL HOURS required for graduation, they will be DROPPED from school and required to re enroll in the program under a new contract and tuition costs in order to complete the remaining hours.
