Admission and Re-Entry Policy The candidate must be able to provide government issued photo identification for proof of age and a high school gradu-ate or equivalency. Students under the age of 18 must have parental consent and parents will be required to sign on all enrollment documents. The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics does not currently admit students under post-secondary eligi-bility provision Ability to Benefit (ATB) test. A fully com-pleted application form must be submitted along with a non-refundable $50 application fee, a copy of High School diplo-ma or equivalency, a copy of government-issued identifica-tion, and immigration information (if applicable). The appli-

cation fee is refundable only if the candidate is not accepted. All high school diplomas must be verifiable. Acceptable documentation for checking the validity of a stu-dent’s high school completion can include; the diploma and a final transcript that shows all courses taken, or the judgment of the state department of education in which the high school is located. A student’s self-certification is not sufficient to validate the high school diploma in question. If the institution has reason to believe that the high school diploma is not valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education (for instance, if the diploma or transcript was bought or the student was required to per-form little or no work), the institution will evaluate the validity of the student’s high school completion. There is no appeals process held by the institution or the Department of Education if the high school diplo-ma is deemed invalid. A student is notified of acceptance when the enrollment contract is signed. The school shall be responsible and liable for the act of its admissions personnel. No school, agent, or admission personnel shall knowingly make any statement or representation that is false, inaccurate, or misleading re-garding the school. Students with Foreign High School Diploma Students with foreign high school diplomas are responsible for translating their documents into English in addition to having their diploma evaluated for U.S. High School Diploma Equivalency by a qualified agen-cy. The translated and evaluated diploma is a part of the application process, therefore, students cannot ap-ply prior to the translation and evaluation of their diploma. Re-Entry Students wishing to re-enter are considered on a case by case basis and may re-enter a program after they have withdrawn at the discretion of Director of Education. Re-entry requests are reviewed to determine whether the circumstances that prevented the student from committing to their schedule have been resolved and additionally are subject to class availability at the requested time of re-entry. Additional tuition charges will not be assessed if the student re-enrolls within 180 days from their Last Date of Attendance. The tui-tion rates current at the time of re-entry will apply to the balance of training hours needed for students who re-enroll more than 180 days from their Last Date of Attendance unless other arrangements have been approved

by the Director of Education. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal. Educational Objectives Our mission is to empower our diverse student body to succeed with professional skills and career-focused education. We strive to provide our students with the requirements to achieve success and employment in a career related field with high growth potential. We hope to inspire each graduate to be confident in their skills and knowledge.

Credit for Experience/Transfer It is the policy of The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics to credit hours previously earned at State licensed learn-ing institutions. A certified and verifiable transcript is required from an accredited institution. In addition, you must successfully pass theory exams. An evaluation of practical application may be necessary for de-termining the number of hours you will be credited and the number needed to complete the course. A maxi-mum of 300 hours may be transferred in accordance with Virginia State Regulations. The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics does not guarantee transferability of credits earned to any other institution. With regard to Sat-isfactory Academic Progress, a student’s transfer hours will be counted as both attempted and earned hours.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy All students who attend The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics will be held to our mandated Satisfactory Ac-ademic Progress policy regardless of payment method, program and schedule. A complete list of these standards is included in our school catalog ensuring notification of these expectations prior to enrollment in any program. Minimum Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements Minimum satisfactory academic progress shall be determined by a cumulative grade average of theory and practicum grades of no less than 75% and 80% attendance rate. The attendance percentage is deter-mined by dividing the total hours accrued by the total number of hours scheduled. Grading Scale The grading scale for both theory examinations and practical evaluations shall be as follows with a pass-ing grade of a score of 75% (C) or above:

Excellent-A: 100-93, Very good-B: 92-85, Satisfactory-C: 84-75, Unsatisfactory-F: 74 or below

Academic Progress Evaluations The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as deter-mined by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical experiences. Academic learning is evaluated at the end of each unit of study. Practical as-signments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satis-factory or better. If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. Student’s academic progress is evaluated at the end of each actual 300 clock hour interval.. The first evaluation will occur no later than the midpoint of any program. The final evaluation may include a comprehensive theory examination, final practicum evaluation and up to four mock state board exams. At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 80% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed. Evaluations will include a review of theory test grades, missing exams or assignments as well as practi-cal skill development. Adequate practical skill development shall be determined by the following:

1) Passing grades in practicum evaluations 2) Maintaining progression in skills determined by practicum evaluations 3) Practicum hours yet to be completed in relation to hours remaining on the contract.

Students must maintain practicum progress that allows for completion of all requirements within the contract time frame. Attendance Policy Students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of the hours possible based on the applicable attend-ance 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 require-ments. 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 80% cumulative attendance since the begin-ning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed. When a student must miss school, absences should be both valid and verifiable, i.e., illness, bereave-ment, etc. All students should notify the Institution if they are going to be late or absent as soon as is possible. It is the responsibility of the student to complete assignments and any material covered during the absence. A leave of absence may be granted at the discretion of the school director, provided the re-quest is made in advance and in writing. Leave of absence will be evaluated on a case by case basis.


8 www.chrysm.org

Determination of Progress Status Students who meet the minimum requirements for attendance and academic performance are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. A hard copy of their Satisfactory Progress Determination will be made available to the student at the time of each evaluation and students will be notified of any evaluation that impacts eligibility for financial aid, if applicable. Students deemed not maintaining satisfactory progress may have their Title IV funding interrupted, un-less the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal resulting in a status of Probation. Warning Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and considered to be making satisfactory progress while during the warning period. The stu-dent will be advised in writing on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the warning period the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she may be placed on probation and if applicable, students may be deemed ineligible to receive Title IV funds. An academic progress warning period extends to the next scheduled evaluation. A student can re-establish satisfactory academic progress within the warning period if he/she can achieve a cumulative grade average of theory and practicum grades of no less than 75% and attendance percentage increases to a minimum of 80% of the total clock hours scheduled to be complet-ed. Probation Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period may be placed on probation and considered to be making satisfactory progress while during the probationary period, if the student appeals the decision and prevails upon appeal prior to being placed on probation Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the satisfactory progress policy standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. The student will be advised in writing on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the probationary period, the student still has not met both the attendance and academic re-quirements, he/she will be determined as not making satisfactory progress and, if applicable, students will not be deemed eligible to receive Title IV funds. Students may be placed on academic progress probation for the following:

1. The institute evaluates the student’s progress and determines the student fails to achieve satisfactory academic progress within the warning period AND

2. The student appeals the negative progress determination prior to the probationary period AND

3. The institute determines that satisfactory progress standards can be met by the end of the subsequent evaluation period.

4. The institution develops an academic plan for the student that, if followed, will ensure that the student is able to meet the institution’s satisfactory academic progress requirements by a specific point within the maximum timeframe established for the individual student.

Re-Establishment of Satisfactory Academic Progress Students may re-establish satisfactory progress and Title IV aid by meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the probationary period. Appeal Procedure If a student is determined to not be making satisfactory progress, the student may appeal the determina-tion. The student must submit a written appeal to the school on the designated form with supporting documentation of the reasons why the determination should be reversed. This information should in-clude what has changed about the student’s situation that will allow them to achieve Satisfactory Aca-demic Progress by the next evaluation point. Appeal documents will be reviewed and a decision will be made and reported to the student within 10 business days. The appeal and decision documents will be retained in the student file. If the student prevails upon appeal, the satisfactory academic progress deter-mination will be reversed.


www.chrysm.org 9

A student may appeal a negative progress determination for reasons he/she feels were mitigating circum-stances that prevented the student from maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress, such as death of a family member, illness, injury or other mitigating circumstances. In order for appeals to be considered, previously mitigating circumstances that prevented the student from maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress must be resolved and possible for the student to achieve satisfactory academic progress by the end of the evaluation period. The appeal will be reviewed by appropriate personnel and a determination will be made. All decisions on appeal are final. If a student is placed on probation, Title IV financial aid eligibility will be re-established. Maximum Time Frame Students must complete their program within the enrollment contract terms. 125% of the contracted pro-gram length is considered the maximum time frame for completion. Maximum time frame terms are cal-culated as follows for students enrolled in a 600 hour Professional Esthetics and Master Esthetics.

Professional Esthetics Full time students –37.5 weeks (750 Hours) Professional Esthetics Part time students –62.5 weeks (750 Hours) Master Esthetics Full time students –37.5 weeks (750 Hours) Master Esthetics Part time students – 62.5 weeks (750 Hours)

Contract end dates and maximum time frame will be extended by an approved leave of absence. The contract period and maximum time frame will be extended by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence.

Extra Instructional Charges If cumulative attendance falls below 80% and the student will exceed the maximum time frame allowed to complete the program, additional tuition rates of $250 a week will be assessed.

Interruptions, Course Incompletes, Withdrawals If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the same progress status as prior to the leave of absence. Hours elapsed during a leave of absence will ex-tend the student’s contract period and maximum time frame by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence and will not be included in the student's cumulative attendance percentage calculation. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal. Noncredit and Remedial Courses Noncredit and remedial courses do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon the school's satisfactory progress standards Transfer Hours With regard to Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student’s transfer hours will be counted as both at-tempted and earned hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted. SAP evaluation periods are based on actual contracted hours at the institution. Vaccination Policy The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics does not require vaccinations for admission into our programs. Any-one interested in getting more information about vaccinations should contact their local public health department or consult with their health care provider.

Refund Policy For applicants who cancel enrollment or students who withdraw from enrollment a fair and equitable settlement will apply. The following policy will apply to all terminations for any reason, by either party, including student decision, course or program cancellation, or school closure. Any monies due the appli-cant or students shall be refunded within 45 days of official cancellation or withdrawal. 1. All fees and payments, except the non-refundable application fee, remitted to the school by a pro-

spective student shall be refunded if the student is not admitted, does not enroll in the school, does not begin the program or course, withdraws prior to the start of the program, or is dismissed prior to the start of the program.

2. The school shall provide a period of at least three business days, excluding weekends and holidays, during which a student applicant may cancel his enrollment without financial obligation other than the nonrefundable application fee.

3. Following the period described in section 2 above, a student applicant (who has applied for admis-sion) may cancel, by written notice, his enrollment at any time prior to the first class day of the ses-sion for which application was made. When cancellation is requested under these circumstances, the school is required to refund all tuition paid by the student less the nonrefundable application fee. A student applicant will be considered a student as of the first day of classes.

4. The date of the institution's determination that the student withdrew should be no later than 14 cal-endar days after the student's last date of attendance as determined by the institution from its attend-ance records. After 14 calendar days, the institution is expected to have determined whether the stu-dent intends to return to classes or to withdraw. In addition, if the student is eventually determined to have withdrawn, the end of the 14-day period begins the timeframe for calculating the refunds. In the event that a written notice is submitted, the effective date of termination shall be the date of the written notice. The school may require that written notice be transmitted via registered or certified mail, or by electronic transmission, or in writing per the Refund Policy in the enrollment contract. The school is required to submit refunds to individuals who have terminated their status as students within 45 days after receipt of a written request or the date the student last attended classes whichev-er is sooner.

5. In the case of a prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other special circumstances that make attendance impossible or impractical, a leave of absence may be granted to the student if re-quested in writing by the student or designee. No monetary charges or accumulated absences may be assessed to the student during a leave of absence. A school need not treat a leave of absence as a withdrawal if it is an approved leave of absence.

6. If a student does not resume attendance at the institution on or before the end of an approved leave of absence, the institution must treat the student as a withdrawal and the date that the leave of ab-sence was approved should be considered the last date of attendance for refund purposes.

7. For students who enroll and begin classes but withdraw prior to course completion (after three busi-ness days of signing the contract), the following schedule of tuition earned by the school applies. All refunds are based on scheduled hours:

Expenses incurred by students for instructional supplies, tools, activities, library, rentals, service charges, deposits, and all other charges are not required to be considered in tuition refund computa-tions when these expenses have been represented separately to the student in the enrollment contract and catalogue, or other documents, prior to enrollment in the course or program.

When a student is withdrawn under these circumstances, the Last Date of Attendance is considered the withdrawal date and depending on the length of the Leave of Absence, the student could find themselves in repayment of their loans imme-diately after.

I understand that in the event of any dispute arising out of this agreement on services hereunder, the courts of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach have sole and exclusive venue. I further agree that should the school prevail on any dispute regarding this agreement, the school shall be en-titled to recover its attorney’s fees, and if the matter involves collection, 25% of the amount of the outstanding shall be agreed to be reasonable.

I will provide a positive learning environment as well as promote the best education possible.

Director of Education Chris Werne Owner, Director of Education, The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics Licensed Master Esthetician Licensed Master Esthetics Instructor

Academic Support Services and Other Available Services The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics does not currently offer any formal academic support services, hous-ing or career counseling services. Students are apprised of their academic status on an on-going basis and meet with the Director of Education or an instructor approximately every 150 hours.

Access to Records/Release of Information The institution guarantees each student (or parent or guardian if the student is a dependent minor) access to that student's records. Note: Parents of students under the age of 18 who request information regard-ing the student will be permitted to receive this information without explicit consent from the student. For students 18 years of age or older, personal information is not released unless requested by the stu-dent. In the event that a student wishes to release information to a third party, the student may request a Release of Information Authorization form, granting the institution the right to release specified infor-mation for each time the student wants to release information. The student also reserves the right to re-scind the authorization in writing at any time. Records are maintained while the student is enrolled in the student database software as well as a hard copy file. Files are maintained permanently after the student is no longer enrolled.

FERPA Policy and Procedures The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford eligible students certain rights with re-spect to their education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution.) These rights include: The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day The

Chrysm Institute of Esthetics 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. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the re-quest was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write the school official responsible


www.chrysm.org 15

for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing re-garding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without con-sent. The school discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA ex-ception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or sup-port staff position (including law en-forcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance com-mittee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of The Chrysm Institute of Es-thetics who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educa-tion record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics.

Upon request, the school also discloses education records without consent to offi-cials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. The school will make a reasonable attempt to notify each student of these disclosures.

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Of-fice that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202

Attendance Policy Student’s required hours of attendance are delineated in the student’s enrollment contract. It is the student’s responsibility to adhere to and ensure that contracted hours are met weekly. In the event of an absence, hours can be made up, however students may not complete additional hours in advance. With regard to absence, if a student is unable to attend a class, notification must be made to the school by phone. Absences in excess of 14 calendar days will result in withdrawal from enrollment. In the event of withdrawal, tuition balance owed and/or any refund due will be calculated per the Refund Policy signed by the student in the enrollment contract. Extended absences may qualify for Leave of Absence approval. All requests for a Leave of Absence must be submitted in writing to the Financial Aid Office in advance and must include the reason for request, the start and approximate end dates of absence, and the student signature.
