Program or School Policies

Evaluation and Grading: A “C” grade is required for satisfactory completion of all courses within the Esthetician program.

THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES

All courses that have a lab component will have dual means of evaluation. In order to pass these courses, the student must achieve a minimum of a ‘C’ grade (60%) in both the theory and clinical components of the course.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Specific programs and courses have specific attendance requirements however it is strongly recommended that students attend all classes. Although general attendance in ‘theory’ classes is not compulsory, attendance is compulsory for classes designated as “Laboratory Sessions, Group Presentations” and/or Seminars and guest speakers” in order to provide for application and practice of various knowledge & and skills in theory courses. Attendance constitutes arriving at class on time.

Reporting an illness: Students must notify their respective professor(s) in cases of illness from classes, laboratories, tests, examinations, and experiences in the practical courses. In cases of absence from clinical practice or placement due to illness, students must consult with their respective course professor on how to notify the specific placement according to placement policies/ appropriate lines of communication. NOTE: All absences must be reported to the professor.

Sequence: The sequence of experience in the Esthetician Program requires that all courses be completed satisfactorily before proceeding to other courses. The following indicates these requirements: a) All ESTH courses of a semester must be successfully completed prior to beginning the next semester. b) Promotion from course to course is governed by the prerequisites stated for the individual courses. c) All courses in the Esthetician Program must be satisfactorily completed for eligibility for graduation from Centennial College. d) All College Communication & General Education courses must be completed by the end of Semester 4 successfully with a ‘D’ grade.

Assignments: An assignment is to be submitted before, or on the specified date and time as determined by the course instructor. If a student cannot submit an assignment on the due date for any reason, they must notify the appropriate professor in advance and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. If an extension is not granted, the student is expected to have the assignment completed by the specified date. In exceptional circumstances, * if a student cannot submit an assignment on the date, they must notify the appropriate professor at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. When an extension is granted, the student will receive full consideration for the assignment. Assignments with extensions are due at a specific date and time as arranged with the professor. Penalties will be applied to extended assignments. In certain instances, with late, makeup or remedial work, assignments may be marked as pass/fail (i.e. minimum/ maximum 60%) only.

Missed Tests: Attendance is compulsory for all scheduled tests and examinations. A student missing an evaluative method must contact the professor prior to the scheduled test/exam/assignment and clarify the reason for absence*. Failure to notify your teacher of your absence in advance will result in a grade of zero for that evaluative method. At the teacher’s discretion, students arriving late for a test or exam, may not be admitted and, if admitted, may not be allowed additional time. However, students arriving after other students have exited the examination hall will not be allowed to take the test or exam. Arrangements for makeup tests are as follows: • Students are responsible to report absences to the professor prior to class in which the test is given • Students will write all makeup tests at the end of the semester during the exam week • Students will reconfirm that they are planning to write the test with the professor prior to exam week to ensure a make-up test is prepared

NOTE: There will only be one makeup evaluation/test per course allowed per student. If more than one evaluation/test was missed, the student may only make up the evaluation/test worth the higher value. Any other missed evaluation(s)/test(s) will count as a zero grade.

Arrangements for makeup tests are as follows: • Students are responsible for reporting absences directly to the professor prior to the class in which the test is given. • Students will write all makeup tests at the end of the semester during the exam week • Students will reconfirm that they are planning to write the test with the professor prior to that week to ensure a make-up test is prepared.
