1. FERPA Policy

In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), information pertaining to a student’s record will be released only upon with the written permission of the student, with the following exceptions; internal reviews including but not limited to student records audit, compliance reviews, accreditation process or financial audit, or any other specific exception permitted by FERPA. Access to any and all student records is provided to and permitted as required for any accreditation process initiated by VICI Beauty School or by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, or in response to a directive of the Commission.

2. OBTAINING TITLE IV STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

Please contact VICI Financial Services at 414-525-6305 with any questions regarding student financial aid information or institutional aid information.

• To determine if you are qualified for any of the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs or Institutional Aid, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) form. You can file your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov (our school code is 011484) or request a paper FAFSA form from the Financial Services office or your Admissions Representative. In order to receive Title IV Financial Aid, a student must be a citizen of the United States or an eligible non-citizen, enrolled as regular student in an eligible program, and possess a valid high school diploma or equivalent (such as GED or Homeschooling). A student must also not be in a Default status on prior loans, per the NSLDS. Male students must meet selective service criteria.

Determining your aid eligibility is derived from your FAFSA application by looking at your “need analysis” and the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) from your FAFSA. Your EFC factors things such as family income, assets, family size, non-discretionary family expenses, retirement needs, number of household members, etc.

Funds are disbursed by 450-hour payment periods (Cosmetology Program) or 300-hour payment periods (Esthiology Program). Pro-rated disbursements and disbursement periods for the second award year (after 900 hours) may apply to Cosmetology students who complete their first 900 hours earlier than anticipated. Students must be maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress to receive Title IV funds. Satisfactory Academic Progress is monitored at or prior to crossing over into your next payment period.

Title IV loan borrowers must complete a Master Promissory Note and participate in Entrance Counseling prior to their first disbursement of Federal loans. Entrance Counseling discusses the Rights and Responsibilities a student borrower has. Please go to www.studentloans.gov for completion of, and information on these steps.

Title IV loan borrowers must also participate in Exit Counseling, which discusses your Rights and Responsibilities regarding your obligations towards repayment of your loans. It is strongly advised that borrowers create a budget.

If you previously received Federal loans, you may request In-School Deferment on your repayment of those loans while in attendance at our school. Please contact either the servicer of your previous loan or the Financial Services office to obtain a form for the authorization of deferment.

• If the scheduled course is cancelled after signing enrollment contract and prior to the actual start date, the student will receive a full refund of all monies paid to this point and given the option of enrolling in a future class.

Veteran Students

When a veteran or other eligible student enrolled in a non-accredited school fails or ceases to attend classes, withdraws or is discontinued from class before completion, the school will refund a pro-rata portion of all charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to the total length of the course. The exact proration will be determined by the ratio of the number of days of instruction completed by the student to the total number of instructional days in the total course. Furthermore, and additional established fee—variously designated as an application fee, enrollment fee, or registration—in an amount not to exceed $10, need not be subject to proration. Where the established fee is more than $10, the amount in excess of $10 is subject to proration. If you receive veteran’s benefits through the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and are going on a leave of absence (LOA), be advised that your enrollment will be terminated with the VA and your benefits will cease on the first day of your LOA. They may resume when you return from the LOA. It is your responsibility to notify the School Certifying Official (SCO) regarding the LOA start date and the date when you will return to classes at VICI to ensure that you are paid for the period during which you are enrolled and to not incur an over-payment from the VA. (Authority: 38 CFR 21.4255)

Return of Title IV Funds (Federal Student Financial Aid)

If a recipient of Title IV funds (Federal Student Financial Aid) withdraws prior to completing 60% of a payment period, the school must calculate the amount of aid the student earned during the payment period. If a student earned more aid than received, the student may be able to receive those additional funds. If the student received more aid than earned, the excess funds must be returned.

Earned and unearned aid is calculated by dividing the number of clock hours scheduled to attend in the payment period by the number of hours in the payment period. Typical payment periods are 0-450, 451-900, 901-1,350, and 1,351-1,800 hours (each 450 hours) for Cosmetology, and 0-300 and 301-600 (each 300 hours) for Esthiology. If a student received more aid then earned, the school must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of the institutional charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of funds or the entire amount of excess funds within 45 days of the school’s determination date of the student withdrawal. The student must return any remaining excess amount. Any loan funds (including Parent PLUS loans) the student is required to return are repaid according to the terms of the loan promissory note. Students required to return unearned grant payments must make payment arrangements with the Department of Education to repay the funds. Note: Students owing grant repayments are only required to repay 50% of the over-award.

Earned but not yet disbursed funds will be credited to outstanding institutional charges with written permission of the student, except for required grant disbursements. Students with no outstanding balance on their account may receive the excess funds if the student notifies the school of their intent to accept the funds within 14 days of the school’s notice to student of excess funds available.

7. TRANSFER STUDENTS

The school may credit transferable hours. If a transfer student desires to have transfer hours counted, they must go through a formal skill evaluation (practical and written) to determine their skill level. Skill evaluations are typically held one Monday per month and a charge of $150 must be paid at the time of the evaluation. Please call in advance for an appointment and to ensure that the proper paperwork is completed prior to the skill evaluation. Transfer hours may not be entirely credited if the skill level does not meet our requirements; if the student scores below 80% on the written test; or if we feel the student may need additional classroom time.

Transfer students must provide transcripts with their grades and hours at the time of the skill evaluation.

Tuition for transfer students will be calculated per hour based on number of hours needed to complete the program. Class/lab fee will be prorated based on number of hours needed. If a kit is required, the student must pay for it on the first day of school. If only a partial kit is necessary, it can be purchased separately.

17. TITLE IV CODE OF CONDUCT

Colleges participating in any of the Title IV loan programs are required by the Department of Education to develop, publish and enforce a code of conduct. The below code of conduct applies to all officers, employees and agents of Advanced Institute of Hair Design.

BAN ON REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS: Neither Advanced Institute of Hair Design, nor any of its officers, employees or agents will enter into any revenue-sharing arrangements with any lender, which is defined by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, amending the Higher Education Act of 1965, Pub. L. # 110-315 (2008), (“HEAO”) as any arrangement between a college and a lender that results in the lender paying a fee or other benefits, including a share of its profits, to the college, or its officers, employees or agents, as a result of the college recommending the lender to its students or families of those students.

BAN ON GIFTS: Financial Aid Office employees (or employees who otherwise have responsibilities with respect to education loans or financial aid) will not accept gifts from any lender, guaranty agency or loan servicer. A “gift” is defined as any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan or other item having monetary value of more than a de minimus amount. This prohibition is not limited just to those providers of Title IV loans but includes lenders of “private educational loans” as well. HEOA does provide for some exceptions related to specific types of activities or literature. This includes:

1. Brochures or training material related to default aversion of financial literacy.
2. Food, training or informational materials as part of training as long as that training contributes to the professional development of those individuals attending the training.
3. Favorable terms and benefits to the student employed by the institution as long as those same terms are provided to all students at the institution.
4. Entrance and exit counseling as long as the institution’s staff are in control and they do not promote the services of a specific lender.
5. Philanthropic contributions from a lender, guarantee agency or loan servicer unrelated to education loans.
6. State education, grants, scholarships or financial aid funds administered by or on behalf of the State

BAN ON CONTRACTING ARRANGEMENTS: Financial Aid Office employees (or employees who otherwise have responsibilities with respect to education loans) will not accept any fee, payment or financial benefit as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or contract to provide services to or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans.

PROHIBITION AGAINST STEERING BORROWERS: Advanced Institute of Hair Design and its officers, employees or agents will not steer borrowers to particular lenders or delay loan certifications. This prohibition includes assigning any first-time borrower’s loans to a particular lender as part of the award packaging process or through other methods.

PROHIBITION ON OFFERS OF FUNDS FOR PRIVATE LOANS: Advanced Institute of Hair Design and its officers, employees or agents will not request or accept any agreement or offer of funds for private loans. This prohibition includes any offer of funds for loans to students at the institution, including funds for an opportunity pool loan, in exchange for providing concessions or promises to the lender for a specific number of loans, or inclusion on a preferred lender list.

BAN ON STAFFING ASSISTANCE: Advanced Institute of Hair Design and its officers, employees or agents will not request or accept any assistance with call center staffing or financial aid office staffing. However, HEOA does not prohibit schools from requesting or accepting assistance from a lender related to:

1. Professional development training for financial aid administrators.
2. Providing educational counseling materials, financial literacy materials, or debt management materials to borrowers, provided that such materials disclose to borrowers the identification of any lender that assisted in preparing or providing such materials.
3. Staffing services on a short-term, nonrecurring basis to assist the school with financial aid-related functions during emergencies, including State-declared or federally declared natural disasters, and other localized disasters and emergencies identified by the Secretary.

BAN ON ADVISORY BOARD COMPENSATION: Employees of Advanced Institute of Hair Design will not receive anything of value from a lender, guarantor or group in exchange for serving on an advisory board. They may, however, accept reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred while serving in this capacity.

6. The method being used by the institution to determine which students will be eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act are as follows:

Eligible students must have been attending or on an approved leave of absence as of March 18, 2020. Students also must have met or be meeting the terms of their contract and be in good standing with the school. Effective December 9, 2020, students will also need to complete an application to gauge their level of need for grant funds. Once all applications are received back, a committee will review them to ensure funds are allocated for expenses associated with the disruption to campus due to COVID-19. Students must be Title IV eligible to obtain grant funding, which include:
*Currently enrolled students must be meeting satisfactory academic requirements
*Not owe an overpayment on Title IV loan
*Not be in default on a Title IV loan
*Be a U.S. Citizen or national, permanent resident, or other eligible noncitizen
*Have returned fraudulently obtained Title IV funds if convicted of or pled guilty or no contest to charges
*Not have fraudulently received Title IV loans in excess of annual or aggregate limits
*Have repaid Title IV loan amounts in excess of annual
or aggregate limits if obtained inadvertently
*Have Selective Service registration verified (males only)
*Have Social Security Number verified
*Not have a federal or state conviction for drug possession or sale, with certain time limitations

Students who do not have a FAFSA on file will be offered the chance to complete a 2020-2021 FAFSA to see if they meet the eligibility requirements above.

Eligible students who have graduated since the school reopened on May 26, 2020 are eligible to receive funds and will be mailed a check to the address on file or offered to come to the school to pick up a check. Students who have withdrawn since the school reopened on May 26, 2020 will not be eligible for funds.

The estimated grant amount per student, if all estimated students were to receive funding, is between $1,505.00 and $1,506.00. As of December 9, 2020, the updated estimated grant amount per student is between $0.00 and $5,000.00.

Everything in Part 6 above was for a applying for our first round of HEERF awards. The school had unused funds and opened up a second round of applications for students listed as “Active” attending school as of July 30, 2021. The only differences from above for this second round of applicants is students cannot be on a leave of absence as of July 30, 2021 and the student had to be a new applicant for HEERF funds and not responded to the earlier funding application round. We are looking at students only who have a completed FAFSA to the school as of July 30, 2021 for social security verification. This second round has an estimated amount per student of $463.50.

7. Students without a FAFSA on file will be notified and offered the opportunity to complete a 2020-2021 FAFSA to determine eligibility. Students eligible for the grant will be issued a check on campus or one will be mailed to their address on file. Graduated students will be notified and offered to either have a check mailed to them or to come into the school to pick up a check. For our second round of applicants, only students who had a FAFSA on file were eligible.
