RE-ENROLLMENT

If a student has been terminated or withdrawn from the school and wishes to return, he/she must go through the registrar and fill out the necessary paperwork that will then be forwarded to the school director for their comments regarding approval for re-enrollment. Manicure students who have withdrawn for more than one year may be subject to loss of hours based on the regulations of the State Board of Manicure of Massachusetts. If a student is allowed to return, an administrative fee of $45.00 is required.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Leila Beauty Academy does not recruit students currently enrolled at another institution. The school may recognize credit for the applicant’s previous hours of training at a different school, provided it is approved by Massachusetts State Board of Manicure or Massachusetts State Board of Aesthetics and if a student scores 75% or above on a mandatory Practical and Written Assessment administered by the institution. The amount of hours actually approved for transfer to complete the program of study will be determined by the institution based on the results of the Practical and Written Assessment and State Board approval.

SCHOLARSHIP AND FEE WAIVERS

Our institution currently does not offer any scholarship opportunities for prospective students. Payments by third parties on behalf of students will be deducted from their account. Family members or staff may qualify for training and tuition at no or reduced charges. We offer fee waivers based on mitigating circumstances.

REFUND AND NOTICE OF CANCELLATION

For calculating refunds and determining if student owes any money upon withdrawal or termination of contract, the institution will use the policy mandated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts set forth in the Massachusetts general law Chapter 225, Section 13K:

 You may terminate this agreement at any time.

 If you terminate this agreement within five days you will receive a refund of all monies paid, provided that you have not commenced the program.

 If you subsequently terminate this agreement prior to the commencement of the program, you will receive a refund of all monies paid, less the actual reasonable administrative costs described in paragraph 7.

 If you terminate this agreement during the first quarter of the program, you will receive a refund of at least seventy-five per cent of the tuition, less the actual reasonable administrative costs described in paragraph 7.

 If you terminate this agreement during the second quarter of the program, you will receive a refund of at least fifty per cent of the tuition, less the actual reasonable administrative costs described in paragraph 7.

  If you terminate this agreement during the third quarter of the program, you will receive a refund of at least twenty-five per cent of the tuition, less the actual reasonable administrative costs described in paragraph 7.

 If you terminate this agreement after the initial five-day period, you will be responsible for actual reasonable administrative costs incurred by the school to enroll you and to 

process your application, which administrative costs shall not exceed fifty dollars or five per cent of the contract price, whichever is less.

 If you wish to terminate this agreement, you must inform the school in writing of your termination, which will become effective on the day such writing is mailed.The school is not obligated to provide any refund if you terminate this agreement during the fourth quarter of the program.

Additional Provisions of Refund Policy

All refunds will be based on the student’s scheduled hours in the program at the time of termination or withdrawal, based on the student’s last date of attendance.

Any money due will be made within 45 days by check from the date of cancellation or termination as defined below.

   Students who are identified as “unofficial withdrawals and cancellations” include the following students: absences totaling more than 14 calendar days with failure to notify the school; and for students on leave of absence the earlier of the two dates- date notice written to school informing student will not be returning or the scheduled date of return from the leave of absence. The “unofficial withdrawals and cancellations” will be determined by monitoring of clock hours achieved by the student at least every 30 days if not sooner.

Termination from the school may be a result of: failure to maintain Satisfactory Progress, misconduct and/or violation of Student Policy and Procedures. Refunds for expulsion are calculated based on the student’s last date of attendance.

 If permanently closed or no longer offering instruction after a student has enrolled, the school will provide a pro rata refund of tuition to the student. If the course is canceled subsequent to the student’s enrollment or closed and the instruction began, the school will either provide a full refund of all monies paid or completion of the course at a later time. Additionally, a list of students will be maintained and collected. The school does not participate in any teach-out plans with other institutions.

 Other miscellaneous charges the student may have incurred at the institution, including extra kit materials, books, products, unreturned school property, uniforms, supplies, etc are non-refundable once issued and used.

 If a student or legal guardian cancels or withdraws and provides proof of mitigating circumstances the school will make exceptions at the School Director’s discretion in calculating the refund.

   In the collection of monies through the institution, lawyers or third parties, the institution will refer to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 255, section 13K.
