    SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) POLICY

    Last Updated: 08/2025
    Applies to All Programs at Nova Academy (Rochester, Mankato, and Woodbury)

    Section 484 of the Higher Education Act, as amended, requests that a student maintain satisfactory progress in order to receive financial aid from State and Federal Financial aid programs.

    The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP) is consistently applied to all students enrolled in Cosmetology, Esthiology, Advanced Practice Esthetics, Advanced Practice Esthetics Combined, Nail Technology, Eyelash Extension Technician and Instructor Training whether participating in Title IV programs or not. It is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students receive a copy prior to the first day of class. The policy complies with the guidelines established by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) and the federal regulations established by the United States Department of Education. To be making SAP, a student is expected to complete a program within a specified time frame and maintain a grade point average consistent with graduation requirements. Summer terms, changes in major, and pursuit of the second degree is not applicable for this institution.

    SAP Evaluation Periods

    Nova Academy defines its academic aid year as 900 hours and 26 weeks. This definition applies to all programs. The academic year is divided into two payment periods and the students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress once the student has attended the following clock hours:

    • Cosmetology: 450 hours and 13 weeks, 900 hours and 26 weeks, 1225 clocked hours and 35 weeks
    • Esthiology: 300 clocked hours and 9 weeks
    • Advanced Practice Esthetics: 250 clocked hours and 7 weeks
    • Advanced Practice Esthetics Combined: 450 hours and 13 weeks, 900 hours and 26 weeks
    • Nail Technology: 175 clocked hours and 5 weeks
    • Instructor Training: 22.5 hours and .64 weeks
    • Eyelash Extension Technician: 7 hours and 1 day (.2 weeks)

    Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have ample opportunity to meet both the attendance and academic progress requirements.

    These evaluation periods ensure students have at least one evaluation by no later than midpoint of the academic year or the course/program whichever is sooner. Students are given Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluation results at the end of each period by a school administrator.

    SAP Attendance Progress Evaluations

    Students are required to attend a minimum of 67% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance schedule in order to be considered maintaining satisfactory attendance progress. Evaluations are conducted at the end of each evaluation period to determine if the student has met the minimum requirements. Evaluations are based on the point when the student has attended the periods scheduled clock hours. The attendance percentage is determined by dividing the total hours accrued by the total number of hours scheduled. At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 67% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed.

    Maximum Time Frame

    The maximum time (which does not exceed 150% of the course length) allowed for students to complete each course at satisfactory progress is stated below:

    COURSE HOURS IN PROGRAM MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED SCHEDULED HOURS
    Cosmetology 1550 Hours 68 Weeks 2325
    Esthetics 600 Hours 27 Weeks 900
    Advanced Practice Esthetics 500 Hours 23 Weeks 750
    Advanced Practice Combined 1100 Hours 48 Weeks 1650
    Nail Technology 350 Hours 15 Weeks 525
    Eyelash Extension Technician 14 Hours 1 Week 21
    Instructor Training 45 Hours 2 Weeks 67

    Students who exceed the maximum time frame shall be terminated from the program. The student then may be permitted to re-enroll in the program on a cash-pay basis in a manner consistent with the re-enrollment provisions of the institution’s admissions policy.

    The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements will be determined based on 67% of the scheduled hours. Nova Academy establishes that transfer hours from another institution that are accepted towards the student’s educational program are counted as both attempted and completed hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted. In the instance where transfer hours have been accepted the SAP evaluation periods are based on actual contracted hours at the institution.

    SAP Academic Progress Evaluations

    The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as they are completed and counted toward course completion. If the student doesn’t receive a 75% or higher on an evaluation or academic test they are notified by Nova Academy that their grade will impact their financial aid eligibility. They are given the opportunity to retake any evaluation or assignment that is below 75%. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must maintain a written grade average of 75% and pass a final written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Incompletes will have a score of 0 until attempted at which time will be scored.

    Grading Scale:

    • A: 100–95%
    • B: 94.9–90%
    • C: 89.9–80%
    • D: 79.9–75%
    • F: 74.9% and below

    Determination of Progress Status

    Students will be evaluated at the end of each payment period. At each evaluation, a student making satisfactory academic progress must maintain the minimum qualitative requirement of having a cumulative satisfactory academic progress of 75% or higher for academics. A student considered to be making quantitative satisfactory academic progress must successfully attend a minimum of 67% of the hours possible based on the applicable attendance schedule. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have ample opportunity to meet both the attendance and academic progress requirements. A student who has met requirements is considered making satisfactory academic progress until the next evaluation. SAP evaluation periods are based on actual contracted hours at the institution.

    Warning

    Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning. The student will be advised in writing via hand delivery in a meeting with the school administrator on the actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation.

    Warning Status: While on a warning status, Nova Academy shall allow the student to retain his/her financial aid eligibility under a warning status for one evaluation period.

    Reinstatement of students on Warning Status: If, at the end of the warning period, a student has met both the cumulative minimum qualitative (academics) SAP and the cumulative quantitative (attendance) completion percentage standards, then Nova Academy shall end the student’s warning status.

    Financial Aid Suspension: Following one warning period, if a student has not met SAP requirements, he or she must be suspended from financial aid eligibility. This suspension will be effective immediately after the completion of the evaluation.

    Probation

    A probationary period is allowed for students not considered to be meeting SAP. A student must first meet the following outlined prior to being placed on a status of probation:

    1. The student was not determined to be making SAP during the warning or previous evaluation period; and
    2. The student prevails upon appeal of a negative progress determination prior to being placed on probation; and
    3. The institution determines that SAP standards can be met by the end of the subsequent evaluation period; or
    4. The institution develops an academic plan for the student that if followed will ensure the student will be able to meet the SAP requirements by the maximum time frame established for that individual student.

    If the student meets the above outlined criteria they may be placed on probation. A student that is placed on probation after successful appeal will be considered making SAP during the probationary period and will maintain their financial aid eligibility.

    Appeal Procedure

    As an appeal is a required element of the probation status, Nova Academy will allow a student to appeal a SAP progress determination. Students may re-establish satisfactory academic progress and financial aid, as applicable, by meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the probationary period. A student may appeal his/her suspension based on unusual or extenuating circumstances within five days of the suspension. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, death of a relative, illness, hospitalization or injury of the student.

    The student must submit a written appeal to the school with supporting documentation regarding why they failed to make satisfactory academic progress, and what has changed in the student’s situation that would allow the student to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress in the future. All appeal documents will be reviewed and the student will be notified within 30 calendar days. The appeal and decision documents will be retained in the student file. If the appeal is granted, students will be placed on probation for one evaluation period. A student who does not meet a minimum standard is no longer eligible for Title IV program funds unless the student is on a warning or has prevailed upon appeal of the determination that has resulted in the status of probation.

    Interruptions, Course Incompletes, Withdrawals

    If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will return to school in the same progress status as prior to the leave of absence. The student’s contract period and maximum time frame will be extended by the same number of calendar days taken in the LOA. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal.

    Incompletes, Noncredit and Remedial Courses

    Incompletes, Noncredit and remedial courses do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon the school's satisfactory progress standards.

    Institutional Return Policy

    A refund is due if a student has completed less than 75% of their program and is determined as follows:

    The total tuition, fees, and charges multiplied by the completion rate
    Plus the initial application fee
    Plus the lesser of 25% of the total tuition or $100.
    Important Notes:

    Financial aid that has been previously applied to the student's account may have to be returned, which could result in a higher account balance.
    In the event the student has a balance on their account when they leave school, they will be expected to make payment in full or establish an ACH payment plan within thirty (30) days or face collections.
    Applicable Returns by the School May Be Returned in the Following Order:

    Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loans
    Federal Direct Subsidized Student Loans
    Federal Parent PLUS Student Loans
    Federal Pell Grant Program
    Federal SEOG (if applicable)
    Funds calculated based on the Minnesota Office of Higher Education Refund Policy and the Appendix 13 Refund Calculation Worksheet of the Minnesota State Grant Manual and/or other federal, state, private, or institutional student financial assistance programs and/or to the student.

    Return of Title IV Funds

    Per federal guideline standards, a student must “earn” federal financial aid awards directly in proportion to the number of hours of the program scheduled. In other words, a student earns financial assistance as they attend school. If a student completely withdraws from school, the school must calculate the portion of the total scheduled financial assistance earned.

    Divide the clock hours scheduled to have been completed as of the day the student withdrew (the last day attended as documented in the student database) by the total clock hours in the period. If this percentage is greater than 60%, the student earned 100% of the Total Title IV aid disbursed and could have been disbursed for the period. If this percentage is less than or equal to 60%, multiply the percentage of Title IV aid earned by the Total Title IV aid disbursed and that could have been disbursed. If the total Title IV aid disbursed for the period is greater than the Amount of Title IV aid earned, this amount of Title IV aid must be returned. If the Total Title IV aid disbursed for the period is less than the Amount of Title IV aid earned, this amount of Title IV aid would be a post-withdrawal disbursement. Multiply institutional charges for the period by the Percentage of unearned Title IV aid compare the amount of Title IV aid to be returned to the Amount of unearned charges. The lesser amount of the two is the school’s responsibility to return. From the total amount of Title IV aid that must be returned subtract the amount to be returned by the school. If the total is greater than zero, the student is responsible for returning that remaining balance. If the student has received personal payments of Title IV aid, he/she may be required to refund the aid to the applicable program.

    The Institution must offer any post-withdrawal disbursement of loan funds within 30 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew. Nova Academy of Cosmetology must always return any unearned Title IV funds it is responsible for returning within 45 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew.

    Nova Academy of Cosmetology must disburse any Title IV grant funds a student is due as part of a post-withdrawal disbursement within 45 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew and disburse any loan funds a student accepts within 180 days of the date the Institution determined the student withdrew.

    Post-Withdrawl Disbursement of Title IV Grant Funds

    Nova Academy of Cosmetology is permitted to credit a student's account with the post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV grant funds without the student's permission for current charges for tuition, fees up to the amount of outstanding charges. Nova Academy must obtain a student's authorization to credit a student's account with Title IV grant funds for charges other than current charges.

    Minnesota State Return Policy

    To determine the proportional share of Non-Title IV Financial Aid package for a refund, take the amount of funds (financial aid, cash) applied to the original institutional charges to the student to date during the student's program and for the current aid year, including any post-withdrawal disbursements of Title IV financial aid applied to institutional charges.

    If funds exceed the original institutional charges, enter the amount of original institutional charges. Subtract the amount of original institutional charges the school can retain per its institutional or state-mandated refund policy. If the gross refund is not greater than zero, then no refund is due to the state financial aid programs. Subtract the amount of the institutional share of any required refund for Title IV financial aid programs. Net Refund of Institutional Charges If the net refund is not greater than zero, then no refund is due to state financial aid programs.

    To determine the proportional share of the Non-Title IV Financial Aid Package for a refund, list all non-Title IV financial aid disbursed to the student to date during the student's program and for the current aid year. Take the amount disbursed by the State Financial Program times the percent of the total amount of Non-Title IV Aid disbursed, and this equals the percentage to be refunded back to the State Financial Aid Programs.

    Veteran's Refund Policy

    In the event that a veteran’s beneficiary enrolls under the provisions of Title 38, US Code and/or Title 10, US Code and discontinues training before completion of the program, Nova Academy of Cosmetology will retain ten dollars ($10) as a bona fide registration cost. All other advance payments of tuition, fees, and other charges will be refunded to the trainee on a pro-rata basis computed to the date of discontinuance of training.
