4. Student Identity, Admissions Accuracy, and State Reporting

Before signing, the Student shall review and confirm the accuracy of all enrollment information required by the School and any applicable state process, including the Student's legal name, date of birth, contact information, address, prior education documentation, and any state-required identifier.

Important Data Accuracy Notice: Information entered on this enrollment contract may be reported to the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology or other applicable licensing authority as part of the Student's official enrollment record. The Student must carefully review all entries before submission. Errors or corrections may delay processing and may require a formal correction process and applicable correction fees then in effect, including a current combined total of $40.00 ($15 KBC state fee + $25 LBA administrative fee) when applicable. Fees remain subject to change if state requirements or administrative costs change.

If the School maintains a current written correction policy or public memorandum, the Student should review that document before signing.

The School's current source materials reflect a published standard package cost of $8,325.50 for this program, subject to confirmation at the time of signing.

Published source components presently reflected are:

• Registration fee: $100.00
• Books / MindTap: $475.00
• Student kit: $550.50
• Optional translated foreign diploma fee: $125.00
• Optional validation fee: $265.00

At signing, the School shall state clearly in writing: the total contracted amount; the deposit due at enrollment; the payment method selected; the payment schedule and due dates; any card-processing fee, if used; any non-refundable charge and the exact amount of that charge; and any sponsor, outside payer, or third-party funding arrangement.

For clarity, the standard contracted program cost remains $8,325.50 unless and until optional incentives are actually earned, approved, and applied. If all applicable optional incentives are fully earned, approved, and applied under the School's written pricing structure, the lowest possible net cost would be $3,800.00. That reduced figure is a conditional outcome only, not a guaranteed tuition amount.

If the School intends for any website pricing sheet, attached schedule, or external pricing form to be binding, that document must be identified specifically and provided to the Student before signature.

The Student agrees to pay all tuition, fees, and other agreed charges stated in this Agreement and any attached payment schedule.

If the Student enrolls under a payment plan: (1) each payment must be made on time and in the agreed amount; (2) failure to remain current may result in restriction from future class attendance, continued enrollment activity, graduation processing, transcript release, certificate release, re-entry processing, or other school-controlled release steps, to the extent permitted by law and clearly stated by policy; (3) the School may require the Student to cure the default before the Student is permitted to continue under the same payment arrangement; and (4) repeated nonpayment, failed payment, refusal to communicate, or material payment-plan default may be treated as a contractual breach and may support administrative withdrawal, suspension, or termination under School policy.

Any late fee, returned-payment fee, administrative fee, or collection-related fee must be specifically stated, finite, and disclosed in writing. The School should avoid vague, open-ended, hourly dispute fees or undefined penalty structures.

The Student must follow the School's attendance procedures and clock in and out accurately using the School's approved system.

The Student may not clock in or out for another person; allow another person to clock in or out on the Student's behalf; create false attendance records; remain clocked in while not participating as required; or manipulate attendance, theory, practical, sanitation, or instructional records.

The School shall maintain attendance and instructional records in accordance with law and School policy.

This Agreement intentionally separates (1) whether hours were actually attended and properly recorded and (2) whether money remains owed. Nonpayment may affect release, certification, separation, or graduation processing to the extent allowed by law and School policy, but completed and truthfully recorded hours should not be described as fictional solely because of a debt unless current law expressly permits such treatment.

7A. Attendance Policy, Communication Duty, Hardship Review, and Leave-of-Absence Acknowledgment

Louisville Beauty Academy does not routinely guarantee a formal leave of absence, medical leave, personal leave, or other pre-approved extended absence as a standard program feature. Any leave request must be made in writing, remains subject to School review and approval, and if approved must be handled and reported in accordance with applicable Kentucky law and board requirements.

The Student acknowledges the following:

• Kentucky attendance and withdrawal rules apply to enrollment at the School, and attendance failures may place the Student at risk of withdrawal processing under applicable law, board requirements, and School policy.
• The School recognizes that illness, family emergencies, personal crises, and other unexpected hardships may occur. The School retains discretion to review individual circumstances before deciding how to respond, and may, but is not obligated to, extend additional time, communicate with the Student, or attempt an internal solution before processing withdrawal.
• Any discretionary consideration is not guaranteed. Whether the School extends consideration depends on factors including the Student's communication, attendance history, conduct standing, financial standing, and the specific circumstances presented.
• The Student is expected to contact the School immediately when hardship interferes with attendance. The Student should not go silent. The earlier the Student communicates, the more options may exist for review and possible accommodation within lawful limits.
• The School will not hold a seat open indefinitely, ignore required attendance thresholds, defer completion timelines without limit, or allow attendance records to fall out of compliance with law or board requirements.
• If withdrawal is processed, re-enrollment may require completion of the School's then-current re-entry or new-student enrollment process, and credit for previously completed hours will be governed by applicable law and board rules in effect at that time.

By signing this Agreement, the Student confirms that the Student has read this attendance policy, understands that hardship review is discretionary rather than guaranteed, understands that prompt communication materially affects whether the School can consider options, and has had the opportunity to ask questions before signing.

The School may offer eligible students access to a structured package of optional merit-based discounts, incentives, and scholarship-style conditional cost reductions that may reduce the Student's net program cost when the applicable conditions are fully satisfied, documented, verified, and approved by the School.

These opportunities are entirely optional. The Student is not required to participate in public posting, tagging, review activity, sanitation-support activity, or extra self-documentation in order to enroll, remain enrolled, receive instruction, or complete the program at the standard contracted price.

A. Economic Baseline and Maximum Conditional Reduction

• Standard contracted program cost: $8,325.50
• Possible lowest eligible net cost if all applicable optional incentives are fully earned, approved, and lawfully combined under the School's written pricing structure: $3,800.00
• Maximum possible conditional reduction from the standard contracted cost: $4,525.50

The reduced figure above is a conditional possible outcome only. It is not automatic, is not guaranteed, and does not apply unless the School verifies that the applicable incentive conditions were actually satisfied.

B. Incentive Lanes and Student Expectations

1. Payment-at-enrollment lane
   Maximum value: up to $1,000.00
   Required action: approved full payment at enrollment before the program start date if offered by the School in writing.
   Tracking responsibility: Student must keep the receipt, payment confirmation, or other written proof.
2. Attendance-discipline lane
   Full-Time Attendance (30–40 Hours/Week): up to $1,275.50 in conditional discount value for consistent attendance and accurate clock records over approximately 15 weeks, subject to School attendance verification and continued good standing.
   Part-Time Attendance (20–30 Hours/Week): up to $500.00 in conditional discount value, subject to School attendance verification and continued good standing.
   Attendance of Less Than 20 Hours/Week: no standard attendance discount.
   Tracking responsibility: School attendance records control, but the Student remains responsible for checking weekly hour accuracy.
3. Academic-mastery and theory-success lane
   Maximum value: up to $500.00
   Example structure: 5 approved Milady/MindTap theory achievements at $100.00 per achievement
   Required action: truthful proof of designated theory achievement, including approved score proof, chapter proof, or milestone proof.
   Frequency guideline: normally no more than 1 counted theory achievement per chapter or milestone unless the School approves otherwise in writing.
4. Sanitation, safety, and station-readiness lane
   Maximum value: up to $500.00
   Example structure: 10 approved sanitation-support submissions at $50.00 per submission
   Required action: truthful documentation of sanitation procedure, disinfection workflow, station setup, safety process, or related approved nail-program sanitation support.
5. Professional work and digital portfolio lane
   Maximum value: up to $750.00
   Example structure: 10 approved practical-work or portfolio posts at $75.00 per post
   Required action: truthful documentation of completed nail work, professional growth, portfolio development, or approved practical self-proof that supports employability and professional presentation.
6. Client safety, professional conduct, and reputation-training lane
   Maximum value: up to $500.00
   Example structure: 5 approved client-safety or professional-conduct actions at $100.00 per action
   Required action: verified competency, sanitation compliance, client-service professionalism, and any School-approved educational documentation connected to the service.
   Important limitation: any educational mock-review exercise used by the School must remain a training exercise only. If a client voluntarily leaves a real review on Google or Yelp, it may be considered as supporting evidence, but no specific star rating may be required.

C. Student Self-Tracking and Submission Duty

The Student is responsible for maintaining a personal record of claimed incentive activity. Unless the School instructs otherwise in writing, the Student should keep screenshots of qualifying posts, tags, and public documentation; score reports, chapter-completion proof, or milestone proof where applicable; photos, videos, or other proof of sanitation, setup, nail work, or practical activity where applicable; dates and short descriptions of each claimed action; and copies of any text messages or emails sent to the School reporting the completed action.

To protect incentive eligibility, the Student should submit or report qualifying activity to the School by text or email during the program and no later than before graduation processing. The School may deny late, missing, unverifiable, or poorly documented claims.

D. Nail-Technology-Specific Sanitation and Client-Readiness Expectations

For Nail Technology practical sanitation proof, the School may require documentation showing disinfection workflow, workstation reset, tool handling, sanitation sequencing, client-hand protection, clean presentation, and lawful nail-service professionalism.

E. Career-Credit Scorecard and Internal Review

The School may evaluate qualifying incentive work through an internal career-credit scorecard or career-credit scoring system that measures documented professionalism, sanitation reliability, safety reliability, attendance discipline, theory completion, practical readiness, portfolio quality, truthful public self-proof, employability-building behavior, and respectful representation of the School.

This scorecard is an internal educational review tool only. It is not a consumer credit score, lending score, or financial credit instrument.

F. Award, Denial, Forfeiture, and Interpretation

Optional incentive credit is earned only after the required condition is actually completed and verified by the School. Incentive credit may be denied, reduced, reversed, or forfeited if the Student withdraws, is dismissed, falsifies records, engages in misconduct, falls out of good standing, or materially fails to satisfy the School's written standards.

The School's incentive system is intended to reward documented discipline, safety, sanitation, employability, professional maturity, effort, educational follow-through, and career-credit growth. It is not intended to compel speech, require false praise, require guaranteed positive public statements, or force any student to engage in public activity against the Student's will.

The Student must satisfy all required hours, theory work, practical work, sanitation and safety requirements, academic progress standards, and other lawful graduation requirements stated in the School's catalog and this Agreement.

The Student understands that enrollment does not guarantee graduation; graduation does not guarantee licensure; and licensure does not guarantee examination success in another state, employment, earnings, salon ownership, or business success.

The School may require staged progress, repeated theory work, minimum competency demonstrations, sanitation compliance, station professionalism, and practical readiness before advancing the Student into more complex or public-facing work.

The School maintains a discipline-first, safety-first, and policy-first training environment. The Student agrees to comply with all written School rules related to conduct, sanitation, attendance, instruction, safety, professionalism, confidentiality, and respect for the learning environment.

The School may issue warning, probation, suspension, administrative withdrawal, dismissal, or termination when the Student engages in conduct including, but not limited to: disruption of instruction or operations; insubordination; threatening, abusive, intimidating, or harassing behavior; dishonesty or falsification of records; unsafe conduct; sanitation violations; interference with staff, students, models, clients, or operations; theft, intentional damage, or misuse of School property; repeated failure to follow payment-plan requirements; or behavior that, in the School's reasonable judgment, undermines the safety, order, integrity, reputation, or lawful operation of the institution.

The School expressly reserves the right to require a Student to leave the premises immediately, or to suspend access immediately, when the School determines that the Student presents a disruption, safety concern, sanitation concern, operational threat, record-integrity issue, client-service risk, or material conduct violation. Where appropriate, the School may later determine whether the matter results in reinstatement, probation, administrative withdrawal, or permanent termination.

Nothing in this section limits any right the School may otherwise have under its catalog, handbook, safety policies, or applicable law.

The Student shall follow all sanitation, infection-control, and environmental-safety policies of the School. Failure to do so may result in immediate corrective action, loss of clinic or instructional privileges, suspension, or dismissal.

The Student shall use products, tools, equipment, and School spaces responsibly and only as directed. Intentional damage or negligent misuse of School property beyond normal wear and tear may result in financial responsibility and disciplinary action.

Because nail technology training involves sanitation-sensitive tools, direct client-contact workflow, chemicals, filing equipment, manicure and pedicure procedures, and public-facing practical activity, the School may restrict a Student from mannequin work, live-model work, nail services, chemical use, or related practical activity until the School determines that the Student meets sanitation, safety, professionalism, and instructional-readiness standards.

The Student should present concerns to the School when practical so the School has an opportunity to respond and attempt resolution through its written grievance pathway. However, nothing in this Agreement prevents the Student from making a lawful complaint, communicating truthfully with a regulator, seeking legal advice, participating in a government investigation, or exercising rights provided by law.

This Agreement must work together with the School's written cancellation and refund policy, which must be attached or provided before signature.

Withdrawal may also occur under the attendance thresholds, communication duties, and related compliance requirements described in Section 7A of this Agreement.

• The Agreement should clearly state how the Student may cancel before the start date.
• The Agreement should clearly state how the Student may voluntarily withdraw after the start date.
• The Agreement should clearly state when the School may administratively withdraw, suspend, dismiss, or terminate the Student.
• The Agreement should clearly state what charges are non-refundable and what refund formula applies.
• The treatment of unpaid balances, earned hours, and School-controlled records after separation is governed by this Agreement, School policy, and applicable law.

For financial and refund-calculation purposes, the governing measure is scheduled time enrolled compared to total scheduled program time, and not merely the number of actual clock hours attended.

If the Student enrolls and later withdraws, cancels, or is terminated before program completion, the following tuition-responsibility schedule applies based on the percentage of scheduled time enrolled to total scheduled course time:

• 0.01% to 4.9%: Student responsible for 20% of tuition.
• 5.0% to 9.9%: Student responsible for 30% of tuition.
• 10.0% to 14.9%: Student responsible for 40% of tuition.
• 15.0% to 24.9%: Student responsible for 45% of tuition.
• 25.0% to 49.9%: Student responsible for 70% of tuition.
• 50.0% and over: Student responsible for 100% of tuition.

Any refund amount determined to be due shall be issued within 45 days of the formal cancellation, withdrawal, or termination date, unless applicable law requires a different deadline. In documented mitigating circumstances, the School may review whether a fair modified settlement is appropriate.

If the School permanently closes, or if the School permanently discontinues the Student's program after enrollment and before completion, the School will administer any required refund or student-account adjustment in accordance with applicable law and legally controlling refund requirements then in effect. If instruction has not been fully delivered, the School may calculate any required refund using a pro rata or other legally required method, as applicable. The School does not participate in a standing teach-out agreement with another institution unless a separate written arrangement is later established.

If the Student is withdrawn, dismissed, or terminated, the School will prepare a written separation accounting showing total charges, payments received, refund calculation if any, remaining balance if any, and current status of transcripts, certificates, and other School-issued records.

By signing, the Student acknowledges that the Student had a fair opportunity to review this Agreement and the enrollment materials provided by the School, ask questions, and receive the following before signing: current pricing disclosure; current cancellation and refund policy; program description; attendance and graduation or completion requirements; payment-plan terms if any; incentive or discount terms if any; grievance or complaint pathway information; and any external documents expressly incorporated by reference.

The Student further acknowledges that Louisville Beauty Academy is a discipline-based, policy-driven educational institution and that continued enrollment depends on academic, conduct, sanitation, attendance, operational, and financial compliance.

Only the following documents may be treated as binding under this Agreement, and only if provided to the Student before signature: the current School catalog; current cancellation and refund policy; current pricing sheet; attached payment plan, if any; attached incentive or discount schedule, if any; and any handbook, safety policy, conduct policy, or program addendum expressly identified in writing.

The School should not rely on unstated website override language, unpublished internal practice, or after-the-fact informal interpretation to materially change the signed enrollment agreement after enrollment.

Each Student is required to use the School's approved attendance-recording system truthfully and consistently. The Student must be physically present while clocked in, must clock out before leaving the assigned instructional area or premises when required, and must not ask another person to clock in or out on the Student's behalf.

False attendance, remote clocking, leaving while still clocked in, impersonation, record manipulation, or concealment of attendance irregularities may result in loss of credit for the affected period, written warning, probation, suspension, administrative withdrawal, dismissal, or other corrective action permitted by School policy and applicable law.

If the Student's intentional or materially noncompliant conduct causes the School to incur an actual fine, charge, or documented cost from a regulator or other lawful authority, the Student may be held financially responsible to the extent allowed by law and written policy after the School documents the basis for that responsibility.

The School may maintain reasonable inspection, identification, camera, or attendance-verification procedures consistent with School policy and applicable law.

If books, kits, or online theory access are included in the contracted package, the School should identify what is included with reasonable clarity. If replacement items, upgraded kits, lost materials, or extra supplies create additional cost, those charges should be stated specifically and not left vague.

By proceeding to signature, the Student confirms that the Student has reviewed this Agreement, received or had access to the written enrollment materials identified by the School before signature, understands that only the written documents provided before signature and properly incorporated into this Agreement control the enrollment relationship, and understands that any later amendment must be stated in a separate written modification approved by the School.

The Student further understands that electronic signature is intended to carry the same force as a handwritten signature to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The Student affirms that the Student can safely participate in the educational activities of the program or will timely request discussion of any accommodation need or significant limitation. The School does not waive and the Student does not waive any applicable rights under law by this section.

The Student understands that enrollment does not guarantee graduation, graduation does not guarantee licensure, and licensure does not guarantee employment or business success. State examination and application requirements may change and may be controlled by entities outside the School.

By signing, the Student confirms receipt or access to this Agreement, the current School catalog, the current pricing disclosure, and the current written cancellation and refund policy.

The Student understands that tuition responsibility remains the Student's own obligation unless the School separately accepts another binding written payer arrangement. Payment by a parent, sponsor, employer, or other third party does not remove the Student's own contractual responsibility unless the School expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

The Student understands that the School does not guarantee graduation, licensure, transferability, employment, earnings, or business success. The Student also understands that School records are retained and released according to written policy and applicable law.

Any media, photography, audio, video, testimonial, review, or publicity consent must be handled through a separate optional release if the School seeks such consent. Any post-graduation outcome follow-up or employment-status request by the School is educational and voluntary unless a separate lawful requirement applies.

This Agreement, together with the documents properly incorporated by reference, is the controlling enrollment agreement unless later modified in a separate written amendment signed by both the Student and an authorized School representative.
