ENROLLMENT OVERVIEW

Follow our admission standards and regulations for an efficient enrollment into Mims Classic Beauty College. After visiting the school or auditing classes, a prospective student can specify a particular class start date during any month. Upon completion, a prospective student will take with them an enrollment application and enrollment contract. These two documents and the previous mentioned records must be completed prior to starting classes. The registration fee may be paid at this time.

The College, for all its part, will record the student information needed and place the prospective student in the class and starting date specified. Two weeks prior to classes starting, the College will call all prospective students to confirm class starts, if confirmation has not already been made.

It is generally recommended that all documentation, records and registration fees be completed and turned into the registrar's office prior to the first day of classes.

STUDENT REENTRY POLICY

As occasion arises, a student may need to temporarily withdraw from school. Upon returning, provisions are made to allow reentry without loss of credit or fee assessment if withdrawal is less than 30 days or under an approved leave of absence. Students must return under the status in which they left, probation or non-probationary.

If withdrawal period has been longer, a $25 fee may be assessed to reactivate enrollment, if required by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
