The Cosmetology program is a 1500 hour State mandated course overseen by the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology. All students must meet the 1500 hour requirement before they can apply to take their State Board exam at the end of their second year. Therefore, attendance is crucial to be successful in this program. Any student who does not meet the 1500 hour requirement by

3

the end of their second year will not be eligible to take their State Board exam and would have to attend a private school to make up hours. Absences are limited to 15 days for the two years before hours need to be made up. Any first year students with excessive absences may be asked to return to their associate schools and not return to the Cosmetology program for their second year.

Course Requirements

To participate and meet all requirements for the Cosmetology program the students must take a math, English and science while enrolled in the Cosmetology program. The science course must be from one of the following:

•	Anatomy and Physiology •	Chemistry
•	Biology

For students to be eligible to participate in the summer internship program, they need to receive 3 credits from any combination of the required math, English or science classes by the end of their junior year.

Internship

Students are required to complete a 120 hour unpaid internship at a salon of their choice while enrolled in the Cosmetology program. The internship will be done the summer between their first and second year in the program. To be eligible to do the internship during the summer, students must take their required science class their first year in the program. Anyone that takes their science during the second year of the program will have to wait until school starts up in the fall to begin their internship.

Social Security Number

The Ohio State Board of Cosmetology requires that everyone MUST have a social security number in order to take their State Board Exam.

Program Scope
Auburn’s Cosmetology program is designed to prepare students to enter the Cosmetology profession after taking and passing the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology licensing exam and receiving their Cosmetology license. During the next two years students will embark on an exciting educational experience that will lead them to a very rewarding career in the Cosmetology industry.

Each day the students are expected to come to school prepared with their textbook, workbook, binders and something to write with. We will begin the day with a 45 minute related class where we will study the technical/written part of the program. After the related portion of instruction, students will move into the lab where we will do demonstrations and hands on work. Students will work on mannequins until they have mastered a technique. Once mastered, they may work on each other under the supervision of the instructor.

All students are required to participate in partner work in the lab. We will be doing shampooing, hairstyling, manicures, pedicures, facials and other various procedures on partners. Students are not required to receive permanent procedures such as perming, relaxing or haircoloring unless permission is given from a parent/guardian.

Instructional Philosophy
The highest degree of quality is always expected in all areas of the Cosmetology curriculum’s competencies. Students are expected to have pride in their work and accomplishments. Students will practice and pass each hands-on skill with no less than a 75% score before working on clients. The Cosmetology curriculum is cumulative and requires students to use previous knowledge and apply it to other parts of the curriculum or build on the previous lesson(s). If students do not learn, study, and/or understand a lesson, the following lesson(s) will become more difficult. Also, if students are absent and do not receive the necessary instruction they will fall behind rather quickly.

There are over 400 competencies the students must learn and master, as well as the related portion of the curriculum. Therefore, because of the large curriculum and the time constraints, we strongly encourage students to form study groups, have a study partner, and/or make flash cards so others may help them study. Daily attendance is critical to your success in the program.

Assessment Plan
Performance standards are determined by industry and the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology, and instructors. Grading for this course reflects these standards.

To pass the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology Exam students must score 75% or higher on all competencies. The Ohio State Board of Cosmetology wants the cosmetology program grading scale to reflect exactly how a student would perform at the licensing testing. The failing grade at the state exam is 74%, therefore all grades need to be 75% and higher or the student may not pass the licensing exam.

Grading Policies
Although 74% is considered a failing grade at State Board, grades will be entered into our grade books using the grading scale shown below. If a student scores less than a 75% on a test or competency they must redo that test or competency until achieving a 75% or higher but the initial grade received on the test or competency will be the one entered into the grade book.

Grading Scale A (90 – 100%) B (80 – 89%) C (70 - 79%) D (60 - 69%)
F (59 – Below)

Employability Skills

In Career and Technical Education, student performance is looked at just as business/industry would look at an employee on the job. The quality of tasks completed, time required, participation, attitude and consistency of effort, etc. are considered employability skills and are all a part of one’s grade.

Course Policies Attendance

Auburn Career Center partners with over 11 different school districts. Each district’s school calendar may not coincide with Auburn’s school calendar. Because of the strict 1500 hour requirement, attendance is crucial. If your associate school does not have school but Auburn does, you are still required to be here to receive your hours.

Program Apparel

Students are required to wear a cosmetology smock, black pants and black closed-toe shoes every day in the cosmetology program. Students are not permitted to work in the lab without their proper uniform. If a student does not have their uniform, they will be given a written assignment to work on instead.

I.D. Badge
Students are required to have and display on them at all times an Auburn Career Center I.D. badge, which is provided free during the first few weeks of school. The Auburn I.D. badge must be clearly visible and presented upon request to any teacher, administrator, resource officer or school personnel. If a student’s original badge is lost or stolen, a duplicate I.D. badge must be purchased. The fee for a duplicate badge is $5.00.

Classroom Entry

Students are expected to change into their uniform and enter the related room quickly where attendance will be taken.
7

Classroom Exit – Dismissal

After the exit bell rings students will wait for the instructor to dismiss them.

Mobile Technology Policy

In the cosmetology program performance is looked at just as a salon owner/manager would look at an employee in their salon. Therefore, cell phones are strictly prohibited while working in the cosmetology classroom and lab. Students will keep their cell phones in their outside lockers while they are in the cosmetology department. Any type of communication device is strictly prohibited.

Classroom Rules, Consequences and Rewards

•	Students will work as part of a team
•	Students will develop a professional work ethic
•	Students will have respect for others and the property in our department
•	Students will be on time and ready to work with all supplies needed for class •	Students are required to wear Auburn uniform
•	Students will follow all safety rules/precautions at all times •	No food or drink in the lab at any time

If you choose to break a rule

*Loss of points *Loss of lab time
*Call home to parents *Removal from the classroom

Safety

Rewards

*Acknowledge and praise (daily) *Perfect attendance awards *Homework passes
*Free time
*Various other positive perks

Safety is a major concern in the workplace. Any safety violation can result in the injury to yourself, the client, and others working around you. Safety violations will not be tolerated. In the event of a violation, students will have to re-test on lab safety, passing with 100%, before being allowed to work in the lab again.

Emergency Response

If there is an emergency in the lab or class room, inform the instructor. If the emergency involves the instructor, contact the main office by using the telephone in the Instructors office.

•	Pick up the phone and dial “0” for the Reception Office. •	Remain calm, explain the situation.
•	If there is no immediate answer, send someone to the nearest classroom or office and notify an adult of the incident and request additional help by calling 911.

If the victim is conscious, it is best to have them lie still until qualified emergency response personnel arrive on the scene. Do not move a victim unless there is risk of additional immediate danger to them and you. You can cause additional severe injury by unnecessarily moving a victim.

8

There is the possibility of the victim going into a state of physiological shock -- a condition of insufficient blood circulation different from electrical shock -- and so they should be kept as warm and as comfortable as possible.
