Institutional Attendance Policy

Paul Mitchell The School Boise has a minimum monthly attendance of 85%. This means students can miss no more than 240 clock hours (cosmetology), 255 clock hours (cosmetology/makeup), 225 clock hours (barber stylist), 135 clock hours (barber), 90 clock hours (nail technology and esthetics), 15 clock hours (makeup academy), 150 clock hours (1000 hour student instructor training), and 75 clock hours (500 hour student instructor training) absent hours before being dropped from the program for failing to meet their contractual obligation to the school.

Students are expected to utilize the 15% allowed absent hours for normal challenges that come up in their lives: time off with family, sick time, unexpected personal challenges, etc.

Hours missed and not scheduled as make up hours with the Future Professional Advisor are considered “absent hours” and count towards the 15% allowed absent hours.

If a students maximum amount of time under the contracted scheduled end date has expired and the student has not completed the required clock hours, the student may be withdrawn from the program.  At that time the student can re-enroll in the program for the remaining clock hours under a new contract and additional costs.

Scheduled hours are not impacted by school closings, such as snow days, etc.  If a student is impacted by any of these occurrences, their actual program end date will be adjusted according to the contract.
