ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

To enroll, a student must have:

< >Two forms of identification such as a social security card/valid passport and driver’s license or state Identification with photo ID Appropriate Educational requirement – 1) diploma, or 2) GED, or 3) certified statement of receipt of a high school diploma or GED Champion Beauty College, Inc. will not tolerate any type of fraudulent or unethical behavior involving Title IV.

Federal Pell Grant - Pell is a federal grant available to undergraduate students to help pay for their education. Eligibility for the Pell Grant is determined by a set of guidelines based mainly on the individual’s income (and/or the parent’s income if the student is determined to be a dependent student). Since the Pell grant is an entitlement program, all students are encouraged to apply. Application for current year Pell grant must be received by the Finance Office NO LATER THAN June 27th of that year.

Federal Stafford Loans - Stafford loans are low interest loans made by a lender such as a bank or savings and loan association. These loans are insured by the guarantee agency in each state and reinsured by the Federal Government. You must repay this loan. For borrowers who receive loans the interest rate is a variable interest rate, which changes annually on July 1st. Repayment begins six months after you leave school, whether you graduate or withdraw from enrollment or after dropping below half time in attendance. Processing time is usually 2 to 4 weeks after the student starts. The federal government pays interest on a Subsidized Stafford Loan on his or her behalf. For an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest accrues during the enrollment period. The borrower may pay the interest while he or she is in school, or the lender will capitalize it (that is, add to the principal balance).

Federal Plus Loans – The Plus loans provide additional funds for educational expenses for dependent students and, like the Stafford loans, are made by a lender. Plus, loans have variable interest rates, adjusted annually. Plus, borrowers generally must begin repaying both principal and interest within 60 days after the last loan disbursement. Processing time will take approximately 2 to 4 weeks after the student starts. Applicants must undergo a credit analysis.

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS:

The return of Title IV Funds Policy applies to any student who receives Title IV funding and withdraws from the school. The withdrawal process is defined as occurring when a student notifies, in written or oral form, the School Director or Education Director of her/his intent to withdraw. If the student fails to notify the school of her/his intent to withdraw, the student will be officially withdrawn after 14 consecutive days of absence. A return of Title IV funds must be made within 45 days from the determination date in case of student withdrawal.

The Return to Title IV formula determines the amount of Title IV funds a student has earned and the amount of Title IV funds a student must return as of the date the student ceases attendance. The amount of Title IV funds a student earns is a proportional calculation based on the amount of time the student was scheduled to attend through the 60 percent point of the payment period. If the student ceases to attend school after she/he was scheduled to have completed more than 60 percent of the payment period, the student earns 100 percent of the Title IV funds. For example, if the student were scheduled to complete 149.85 hours of a 450-hour payment period, the student would have earned 33.3 percent of their Title IV funds (i.e., 149.85/450 = 33.3%).

The Return to Title IV Funds Policy dictates only the amount of Title IV funds a student has earned. This policy does not dictate the number of institutional charges that the school may retain. The amount of Title IV funds a student has earned may not cover all unpaid institutional charges due to the school upon the student’s withdrawal. If the student receives less federal student aid than the amount earned, the student could be eligible for a post withdrawal disbursement. See the section “Refund Policy” for more information on the institutional charges due when a student withdraws.

Return of Title IV Funds Distribution Policy:

Return of Title IV funds will be paid in the following order:

1) Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan

2) Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan

3) Federal PLUS Loan

4) Federal Pell Grant

5) Federal SEOG

6) Other Federal, state, private or institutional aid

7) The student

VERIFICATION:

Students selected by the U.S. Department of Education for the process of verification are required to submit additional information to the Financial Aid Office. The verification procedures will be conducted as follows:

When selected by the U.S. Department of Education for the process of verification, the student must submit all required documentation to the financial aid office within 21 days from the date the student is notified that the additional documentation is required for this process.

If the student does not provide all the required documentation within the 21-day time frame, the student will be required to make other payment arrangements until the documentation is received and the student’s eligibility for federal student aid has been established.

The financial aid office reserves the right to make exceptions to the policy stated above on a case-by-case basis for extenuating circumstances.

The financial aid office will make any required corrections to the application data and submit them to the Central Processing System. An adjustment will be made to the student’s financial aid award as required by federal regulations and an addendum to the existing award letter will be issued to the student within 30 days.

METHOD AND TERMS OF PAYMENT:

If the student does not acquire eligibility for Title IV Funds, all tuition will be due and payable immediately, or an arrangement by promissory note may be approved by the school as a method of payment. If the student does acquire eligibility for Title IV Funds, no portion of these funds will be disbursed to the student until the course costs are paid in full. The student will be responsible for payment of any unpaid portion of tuition not covered by Title IV Funds. Payment is due immediately or any arrangement by promissory note may be approved by the school as a method of payment.
