*Non Payment

Drop Policy for Unpaid Tuition

As stated in the student contract and handbook, "Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, payment of all tuition and fees is due upon enrollment".  In accordance with school policy, students who do not pay tuition and fees or make arrangements for tuition and fees payment on the required payment date or deadline or formal request for payment, enrollment may be cancelled at the discretion of school administrators. Students will be notified using their e-mail account concerning outstanding tuition delinquencies and given an opportunity to pay tuition and fees within 7 days of notification.  If no arrangements have been made to pay the balance due in 7 days from notification, enrollment may be cancelled for nonpayment.  If a student is allowed to continue enrollment after nonpayment the second occurrence may result in immediate cancellation of enrollment for nonpayment. 

School administrators may also opt to place a student on an educational interrupt to give an opportunity for the parties to make arrangements but can cancel enrollment at any time due to nonpayment during the educational interrupt.  It is the schools discretion as to how long or what type of education interrupt may be enacted. 

Students who do not attend school for seven consecutive days will be terminated, in accordance with their contract.    

Students whose schedules are cancelled for non-payment of tuition and fees will have their academic progress discontinued for the program in question and will not be able to attend class or receive grades or official transcripts. 

Check or credit card payments that are returned or refused will negate any tuition payment agreement for the reinstatement of a student's schedule.

The school reserves the right to deny reinstatement when a demonstrated pattern of tuition delinquencies over two or more payments has occurred.

Possible Earning info:

The media salary for an esthetician with less than one year experience is between 7.32 and 10.27 per year as of July 2009.  The middle 50% earned between 10.27 and 13.75.  The lowest 10% earned less than 7.32 and highest 10 percent earned more than 27.35.

 

While earning for entry level workers are usually low, earnings can be considered higher for those with experience.  A number of factors determine the total income of estheticians, such as the size and location of spas.  They may receive commission based on the price of the service they sell and products or a salary based on the hours worked.  In addition, some spas reward employees who bring in new business by paying bonuses.  A growing number of workers rent stations on a weekly basis and are considered self employed.  For many, the ability to attract and hold a regular client base is a key factor in determined earnings.
