• Attendance record control: Only truthfully recorded time while the Student is physically present and participating as required may be counted. Clock-in/clock-out records, schedule records, and any approved corrections must remain consistent with School policy and Kentucky requirements.

• Official Kentucky/KBC curriculum source: The Student is provided direct access to current Kentucky/KBC curriculum requirements at 201 KAR 12:082. The 80-Hour Brush-Up / Assistance Course is a supplemental support course and should be read together with the applicable underlying licensing track and current KBC requirements.
• Incorporation and control: The enrollment agreement, current student catalog, current pricing/cost disclosure, current refund/withdrawal policy, attendance policy, and applicable curriculum/program materials should be read together. If any item changes after signature, the signed agreement and any written amendment or updated document provided according to School policy and applicable law controls for the student's enrollment period.

3C. Optional Discount, Career Credit Score, and Student Choice Disclosure

• Standard price remains available: The program's standard contracted price remains available to the Student. The Student may choose to pay the standard contracted price and is not required to pursue any optional discount, incentive, scholarship-style reduction, public documentation activity, or extra professional-development activity in order to enroll, attend, receive instruction, complete required training, or remain in good standing at the standard contracted price.
• Discounts are optional and student-chosen: Any discount, incentive, or conditional cost reduction offered by Louisville Beauty Academy is optional and must be stated in writing. The Student may choose whether to request or pursue it. A possible discount is not automatic, not guaranteed, and not earned unless all written conditions are voluntarily completed, documented, verified, approved, and lawfully combined under the School's current written pricing structure.
• Pay-in-full under assumed full-discount amount: If the School accepts a discounted pay-in-full amount, discounted net invoice, or labels an account as paid in full based on the possible lowest eligible net cost, that means the Student has paid the then-invoiced discounted net amount after subtracting the full possible discount amount, assuming the Student will complete and receive approval for 100% of the applicable written discount items. It does not mean the Student has already completed every discount requirement, and it does not waive the written discount requirements. If the Student does not complete, maintain, document, verify, or receive approval for all applicable discount items, the unearned or unapproved discount may be removed or adjusted, and the Student may remain responsible for the unpaid difference between the standard contracted price and the actually earned/approved discount amount to the extent allowed by this Agreement, the written discount schedule, the refund policy, and applicable law, unless the School separately waives the amount in writing.
• Purpose of optional discount: LBA may use optional discounts as an incentive for students who voluntarily go beyond minimum attendance and payment duties by building professional documentation, employability evidence, public-facing credentials, portfolio discipline, community contribution, or other career-readiness proof for themselves. The discount is intended to reward optional extra effort by the Student, not to change the standard program price.
• Career Credit Score concept: LBA may reference the Career Credit Score concept as a professional documentation and public credential-building framework inspired by Di Tran University's publication Career Credit Score: The Documented Professional. This is an educational/professional-development concept only. It is not a consumer credit score, not a credit report, not a lender score, not a credit bureau product, and not a guarantee of licensure, graduation, employment, income, clients, or business success.
• No forced public participation: The Student is not required to post publicly, tag the School, publish a review, make an endorsement, provide a testimonial, share private student records, appear in marketing, or disclose personal information in order to enroll or continue at the standard contracted price. Any public-facing activity, photograph, quote, testimonial, endorsement, portfolio item, or personal story must be voluntary and subject to any required separate written consent.
• FTC / endorsement clarity: If a Student voluntarily makes any public statement, endorsement, testimonial, review, or similar content connected to a discount, incentive, benefit, or material relationship with the School, the Student and School should clearly disclose that connection where required by law or platform rules. The School may not require a positive review or favorable statement as a condition of any discount.
• No required book purchase: The linked book is provided as an optional educational reference. The Student is not required to purchase the book from Amazon or any retailer as a condition of enrollment, attendance, graduation/completion, licensure support, or receipt of standard instruction, unless a separate written school-provided materials list clearly states otherwise before signature.

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.

The estimated end date is an estimate only. Actual completion depends on attendance, accurately recorded hours, academic progress, practical performance, sanitation and safety compliance, payment compliance where applicable, and satisfaction of all completion requirements.

5. Tuition, Fees, and Short-Course Financial Terms

The current standard tuition for this 80-hour Brush-Up / Assistance Course is $1,600.00, exclusive of any separately required books, kit items, translated-document fees, validation fees, or other specifically disclosed third-party or program-specific charges.

If books, kits, online theory access, translated-document work, or validation services are required for the Student's selected purpose, those items must be identified in writing before signature with their then-current price.

Because this is a short-duration remedial, reentry, or licensing-preparation course, full payment is ordinarily required before or at the start of the course unless the School separately approves another written arrangement.

Any card-processing fee, returned-payment fee, re-entry fee, transcript fee, or other administrative charge must be specifically stated in writing and should not be left vague or open-ended.

If the Student does not complete the course within the contracted term and the School agrees in writing to extend, repeat, or re-enter the course, any additional tuition or fee must be specifically disclosed in writing before it is charged.

6. Refund and Finality Rules for This Short Course

This short course is governed by the School's written cancellation and refund policy as provided before signature. If a fee or charge is intended to be non-refundable, the exact charge and amount should be stated specifically in writing rather than described broadly or categorically.

The School should not rely on vague website override language to change the signed financial deal after enrollment. Any pricing sheet, short-course memo, or external cost schedule intended to be binding must be specifically identified and provided to the Student before signature.

7. Incentives, Discounts, and Scholarships

Unless the School separately provides a written short-course incentive schedule before signature, the Student should assume that this Brush-Up course is priced at the standard contracted amount stated above and that discounts, scholarships, or incentives are not automatic.

If the School does offer any short-course discount or approved reduction, that offer must be documented in writing with its exact amount, conditions, approval standard, and forfeiture rule if the Student withdraws or fails to complete the required conditions.

TOTAL VOIDING OF ALL DISCOUNTS UPON SEPARATION — DEFAULT RULE. Any discount, incentive, scholarship, or conditional cost reduction the School offers for this course is conditioned on the Student completing the Program. If the Student withdraws, cancels, abandons the course, ceases attending, is administratively withdrawn, is dismissed, or is terminated at any time before completion, then one hundred percent (100%) of all such discounts and incentive credit void automatically, immediately, and in full — whether or not previously earned, approved, verified, applied to the account, invoiced, or displayed as a credit on any statement — and the Student's financial obligation reverts to the standard contracted tuition of $1,600.00 plus any separately disclosed charges. This applies regardless of the reason for separation, including without limitation illness, injury, pregnancy, family or caregiving obligations, childcare, transportation, change of employment, relocation, immigration circumstance, financial difficulty, academic difficulty, dissatisfaction, misconduct, dismissal for cause, or no reason stated at all. There are no exceptions, except only to the extent applicable law requires otherwise. This paragraph applies by default to every short-course discount unless a separate written incentive schedule signed before enrollment expressly states a different forfeiture rule. Before applying any voiding to the Student's balance, the School shall provide a written itemized statement identifying each credit voided, its dollar value, the resulting balance, and the Student's right to request human review within thirty (30) days. This paragraph controls over any conflicting statement elsewhere in this Agreement.

No formal leave of absence; how withdrawal happens. The School does not maintain a formal leave-of-absence program, and no School employee grants formal leave. A gap in attendance does not by itself withdraw the Student. Withdrawal occurs in only two ways: either (1) the Student notifies the School in writing that the Student is withdrawing, or (2) the School determines in writing that the Student has withdrawn. The School decides, in its sole discretion, whether and when a Student's inactivity amounts to withdrawal. Until one of those two events occurs, the Student remains enrolled.

What "in writing" means. The School communicates primarily by text message and email. A text message or email is sufficient to constitute either the Student's notice of withdrawal or the School's written determination of withdrawal. No form, letter, signature, or in-person meeting is required. The School shall retain the communication and its date in the Student's file as the record of withdrawal. The Student shall keep the Student's mobile number and email address current, and any notice sent to the number or address then on file is deemed delivered when sent. The Student consents to receiving enrollment, attendance, account, and withdrawal communications by text message and email; this consent does not authorize marketing messages, which require separate consent. Upon withdrawal the School shall report the withdrawal and certify completed clock hours to the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology within ten (10) business days as required by 201 KAR 12:082. Clock hours already earned and certified remain the Student's own.

1. Enrollment Use Only – If a translated high school transcript is required for enrollment, Louisville Beauty Academy will obtain a translation through a certified agency solely for admission purposes. The validity of this translation only applies at the time of enrollment.
2. Additional Copies – If a student needs an additional copy of their translated high school diploma during enrollment, they must purchase it separately based on the school’s listed price or order directly from the translation agency.
3. Graduate Responsibility – After graduation, Louisville Beauty Academy has no legal obligation to provide, verify, or share any translated transcript. Graduates must obtain their own translation from a certified agency that meets the current requirements of the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology.
4. Liability Waiver – The academy is not responsible for the continued validity or acceptance of translated documents. Translation agency approvals may change over time due to closures, loss of accreditation, or state board policy changes.
5. State Board Compliance – Graduates are responsible for ensuring their translated documents meet state board requirements at the time of application. The school will provide guidance but will not be involved in the process.

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.

1. Student Responsibility for School Property:
Students are responsible for using all school equipment, materials, and property in a careful and appropriate manner. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as the POS system, computers, Chromebooks, printers, chairs, tables, beauty tools, and any other educational materials provided by the school. Students must maintain these items in good condition throughout their use.

2. Liability for Damages:
In the event that any school property, including but not limited to the POS system, computers, Chromebooks, printers, chairs, tables, or other equipment and materials, is damaged, lost, or stolen due to the negligence or intentional actions of a student, the student will be held financially responsible for the repair or replacement costs. The cost will be determined by the current market value of the item or the actual cost of repair.

3. Reporting Damages:
Students are required to report any damages to school property immediately to the school administration. Failure to report damages promptly may result in additional penalties.

4. Payment Terms for Damages:
Students must settle any outstanding charges for damages within 30 days of receiving an invoice. Failure to do so may result in administrative actions, including but not limited to withholding of grades, transcripts, or diplomas, and may affect the student's enrollment status.

5. Personal Belongings Liability Disclaimer
Louisville Beauty Academy (LBA) is not responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of any personal belongings brought onto the premises by students. Due to the high volume of activities, student interactions, and external visitors, the academy cannot guarantee the security of personal items. Students are solely responsible for safeguarding their belongings at all times. LBA strongly recommends that students do not bring valuable items to the facility and take appropriate measures to secure their property. By enrolling in the program, students acknowledge and accept full responsibility for their personal possessions and waive any claims against LBA for lost, stolen, or damaged items.

The Student should first present concerns to the School when practical so the School has a reasonable opportunity to respond 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.

The School likewise reserves the right to defend itself through truthful documentation, records, witness statements, and lawful response to any allegation, complaint, chargeback, collection issue, or dispute.

Knowingly false statements, intentional falsification of records, malicious fabrication, or bad-faith misuse of complaint channels may carry consequences under ordinary law and School policy.

After graduation, withdrawal, dismissal, or termination, the Student remains responsible for any unpaid tuition, fees, or other amounts lawfully owed under this Agreement, subject to any required refund calculation, written settlement, or other adjustment required by law.

The Student may not falsely represent continued active enrollment, authorization, or institutional affiliation after separation. Unauthorized use of the School's name, branding, or claimed authority in a misleading way may be addressed under ordinary law.

Nothing in this Agreement prohibits truthful reporting, lawful complaints, or lawful participation in an investigation. At the same time, knowingly false statements, record falsification, malicious fabrication, theft of materials, misuse of confidential student information, or unauthorized misuse of School intellectual property may create legal exposure under applicable law.

Any post-separation request for transcript, certificate, attendance, or record release remains governed by this Agreement, written School policy, and applicable law.

1. Active Participation
Students are required to attend all scheduled classes and practical training sessions regularly and on time. Active participation includes engaging in class discussions, completing assignments, and following instructions from instructors. Failure to maintain consistent attendance or engagement may result in academic probation or dismissal.

2. Academic Commitment
Students are expected to complete all assigned coursework, chapter exams, and practical evaluations in a timely manner. The academy provides the resources and guidance necessary for success, but it is the student’s responsibility to dedicate sufficient time and effort to study and practice.

3. Professional Conduct
Students must conduct themselves professionally at all times, including showing respect to instructors, peers, and staff. Adherence to dress codes and maintaining a positive learning environment is mandatory. Inappropriate behavior or disruptions will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action.

4. Focused Learning During Enrollment
Students are strongly encouraged to focus their efforts on mastering the curriculum while enrolled in the program. Delaying studies or deferring focus until after leaving the academy may hinder academic and licensing success.

5. Use of Resources and Progress Monitoring
Students are expected to utilize the learning resources provided, including digital tools and one-on-one guidance, and to meet all required milestones tracked through chapter exams, attendance, and evaluations.

6. Acknowledgment of Shared Responsibility
Success in the program is a collaborative effort. While Louisville Beauty Academy provides the curriculum, resources, and support necessary for success, the student is equally responsible for their dedication and commitment to the program.

7. Disclaimer
Students acknowledge that the academy operates in full compliance with Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology regulations. Licensing success is contingent on the student’s active participation, effort, and adherence to the academy’s policies. For any questions regarding licensing requirements, students should contact the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology directly at kbc@ky.gov.

8. Consequences of Non-Compliance
Students understand that failure to meet the outlined responsibilities, including attendance, academic progress, or professional conduct, may result in probation, suspension, or dismissal from the program, as determined by the academy.

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.

By enrolling at Louisville Beauty Academy, the student affirms they are medically fit to participate in all educational activities, accepts full responsibility for their own health and well-being (including conditions such as pregnancy or other medical issues), and agrees to consult with a healthcare professional as needed. The Academy provides education and training only and does not provide medical advice or assume responsibility for any health conditions, injuries, or complications that may arise during participation. Students may choose to pause or decline any activity outside their comfort or medical ability, and it is their sole responsibility to seek accommodations or medical guidance. This acknowledgment does not waive any rights under applicable law (including Title IX protections), but ensures that each student bears personal responsibility for their health while participating in the program.

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.
