1. All students are expected to be regular in attendance according to the hours 

described in the student contract and in the course outline for the course that the student has registered in. As with any responsibility, if any student is not feeling well or for any reason, will be absent from school, they must contact the school, via phone, email, or text, informing us of their absence.

2. Daily attendance is recorded and the hours are calculated weekly, and printed monthly. All students are responsible to complete their course of study within the specified number of months as laid out in the student contract and in the course outline. Students who do not complete their course of study within the specified number of months will be expected to pay for any additional months at the monthly rate of payment as specified in the student contract until they have satisfied all the requirements of their course and completed the minimum required number of hours for their course of study*.  London School allows 2 weeks after the contract end date, to complete all requirements, at no charge.  *After the 2 weeks, payment is expected. 
3. Students who are receiving financial assistance through BCSAP or Canada 

Student Loans or through any other funding agency should be aware that the school is obligated to report all attendance records to the various funding agencies, as per their requirements. Should any student’s attendance drop below the minimum acceptable level for their funding agency, that information could be forwarded to the funding agency and the student may be at risk of losing their funding. It is each student’s responsibility to know the attendance requirements for their funding agency.

 

4. Weekly, each student’s attendance is checked for minimum acceptable levels, 

(60% attendance). If any student appears in danger of falling below the required 60%, they are spoken to as a reminder that if they have 3 consecutive weeks of below 60%, they are in jeopardy of losing funding, depending on individual situations.

Student dismissal is considered to be the highest form of sanctioning that the school can apply against a student. As such, a student would only be dismissed from the school under extreme circumstances. Student dismissal is guided by the following non- negotiable legal rules of conduct: 

1. The use of alcohol and any illicit drugs within the school’s premises is prohibited 

by law. Any student caught using alcohol or illicit drugs on the premises would be subject to immediate dismissal and may be subject to criminal prosecution. 

2. Stealing is prohibited by law. Any student caught stealing on the school’s 

premises would be subject to immediate dismissal and may be subject to criminal prosecution. 

3. Physical conflict of any sort, including verbal threats of physical harm, 

constitutes assault or harassment and is prohibited by law. Students engaging in this kind of behaviour on the premises would be subject to immediate dismissal and may be subject to criminal prosecution. 

 

These first 3 dismissal policies are immediate, as such, the school would send   notification of dismissal to any funding agent, as well as give the student written notice of immediate dismissal. Whereas the student is expected to gather their belongings, and leave the premises.  

 

4. Any students who miss 3 consecutive weeks of their program or fall under the    60% attendance for the 3 consecutive weeks may be dismissed from their program.  The school will speak to any student who falls under the 60% attendance after the first week, and the second week, so they understand the consequences. Or if a student is unreachable, (MIA) for the 3 weeks, they may be dismissed as a technical withdrawal student. Depending on the circumstances of their absence, they may re-enroll to finish their program.  

 

In the case of dismissal due to failure of attendance, the school will issue a letter of termination to the student and notify any funding agents.

London School: Individuals should always try to resolve issues informally. If a more formal approach becomes necessary, the institution provides a fair and reasonable mechanism for resolution. 

Process: Step One When a concern arises, the student should first attempt to address       it with the individual most directly involved. If unsatisfied with the outcome, the student should submit a written complaint to the Administrative Director. Should this person be absent or be named in the complaint the student should submit the written complaint to the Manager. 

Step Two The Administrative Director or the Manager will arrange to meet with the 

student to discuss the concern as soon as possible and within five days of receiving the student’s written complaint. 

Step Three Following the meeting with the student, the Administrative Director or  Manager will conduct whatever enquiries and/or investigations are necessary and provide a written response to the student that includes reasons for the determination of the complaint. The written reasons will be provided no later than 15 days following the receipt of the students written complaint. 

Students making a complaint may be represented by an agent or a lawyer. 

Students will not be subject to any retaliation as a result of their complaint. 

After having exhausted the dispute resolution process, a student may file a claim with 

the Private Training Institutions Branch (PTIB) of the Ministry of Advanced Education (www.privatetraininginstitutions.bc.ca) on the basis that the institution misled the student regarding any significant aspect of an approved program.

However, we also recognize that circumstances sometimes arise that make it impossible for a student to complete a program of study. If it becomes necessary for a student to withdraw at any time following the course commencement date, the following procedures will apply: 

1. Any student who needs to withdraw from their course of study will provide 

written notification to the Administrative Director, including the actual date of withdrawal.

At London School of Hairdressing and Aesthetics, we are committed to providing quality instruction in hairdressing, aesthetics, and nail technology. In addition, we are committed to helping students attain their career goals and to prepare them to pass any applicable provincial exams. 

In order to achieve our purpose, it is important to have a clear set of procedures including all required outcomes and hours of instruction that determine when students have met or exceeded the minimum requirements for graduation. The requirements and procedures for graduation are as follows: 

1. In order to graduate, the individual student must complete the prescribed 

number of hours of training for the program he or she is registered in, within the specified number of months as laid out in the student contract, and in accordance with the school’s Attendance Policy. 

2. In order to graduate, the individual student must complete all practical 

assessments for his or her program with a minimum final mark of 70% on each assessment, not a cumulative mark of 70%. This is in accordance with the Student Assessment/Evaluation Policy. If the student wishes to appeal the final marks, he or she may do so according to the Student Appeals Policy. 

 

3. In order to graduate, the individual student account must be paid out in full, 

including tuition and all equipment and textbooks. 

4. The Administrative Director will verify that the individual student has met the 

minimum requirements for graduation (items 1-4). 

5. Once it is determined that the individual student meets the minimum 

requirements for graduation, the Administrative Director will award the student 

the appropriate diploma(s) that indicates successful completion and graduation from the program. 

6. In the case where a student does not meet the minimum requirements for graduation, the student will have two options: (1) The student may receive a letter from the school stating the number of hours of training completed, but indicating that the student has not met the requirements for graduation from the program. (2) The student may register and pay for additional months of training as long as it takes to complete the minimum requirements for graduation, in which case the Administrative Director will award the student the appropriate diploma(s) that indicates successful completion and graduation from the program. 
7. The Administrative Director will make a copy of the student diploma(s) and 

place the copy in the student file. 

8. All documents and copies pertaining to student graduation will be kept 

according to the Student Records Retrieval and Archiving Policy.

A credit transfer, from the same program that the student wants to continue or refresh, is only accepted with proof of hours or certificate from a registered college. 

A prior learning assessment will be done on the applicant for further confirmation that they have the skill level to continue their studies. After determining that the skill level is on par to the hours they have presented, London School will continue the education, and the said student can transfer the existing hours to their course. 

Proof of education from another school/college must be kept in the student’s file. Acceptable proof being: transcript, certificate, or a letter with school/college letterhead. London School will also consider the viability of said document.

London School is committed to ensuring that its learning environment promotes the respectful and fair treatment of all students. 

 

While on London School premises or while part activities or events hosted by     London School, the following activities are prohibited: 

No Bullying, harassment, or discrimination, between students, staff, and/or administration. Any negative activity should be addressed to the manager, Kerry Constable, or the director, Martin Constable, to be handled in the following manner: 

Process: Step One When a concern arises, the student should first attempt to address it with the individual most directly involved. If unsatisfied with the outcome, the student should submit a written complaint to the Administrative Director. Should this person be absent or be named in the complaint the student should submit the written complaint to the Manager. 

Step Two The Administrative Director or the Manager will arrange to meet with the 

student to discuss the concern as soon as possible and within five days of receiving the student’s written complaint. 

Step Three Following the meeting with the student, the Administrative Director or Manager will conduct whatever enquiries and/or investigations are necessary and provide a written response to the student that includes reasons for the determination of the complaint. The written reasons will be provided no later than 15 days following the receipt of the students written complaint. 

Students making a complaint may be represented by an agent or a lawyer. 

Students will not be subject to any retaliation as a result of their complaint. 

After having exhausted this process, a student may file a claim with the Private Training 

Institutions Branch (PTIB) of the Ministry of Advanced Education (www.privatetraininginstitutions.bc.ca).

While London School appreciates and acknowledges the need to accept payments in cash as a service to students, this has to be balanced by ensuring our post-secondary system does not become a target for money laundering. As such we will not be able to accept cash payments over $1,500.00.

 

This will still allow students to be able to pay cash monthly (up to $1,500.00) but we will no longer accept any cash payments for the full tuition amount.

 

We must all do our part to deter the ability to launder money through the British Columbia post-secondary system.

1. London School is committed to the prevention of and appropriate response to sexual misconduct.
2. Sexual misconduct refers to a spectrum of non-consensual sexual contact and behaviour including the following:

• sexual assault;
• sexual exploitation;
• sexual harassment;
• stalking;
• indecent exposure;
• voyeurism;
• the distribution of a sexually explicit photograph or video of a person to one or more persons other than the person in the photograph or video without the consent of the person in the photograph or video and with the intent to distress the person in the photograph or video;
• the attempt to commit an act of sexual misconduct; 
• the threat to commit an act of sexual misconduct.

 

3. A Complaint of sexual misconduct is different from a Report of sexual misconduct. A person may choose to disclose or complain of sexual misconduct without making a formal report.  A Report is a formal notification of an incident of sexual misconduct to someone at the institution accompanied by a request for action.
