    • Ability-To-Benefit Validation:  we currently do not accept Ability-To-Benefit prospective students
    • Transfer Students:
      • The school may credit transferable hours.  If a transfer student desires to have transfer hours counted, they must go through a formal skill evaluation (practical and written) to determine their skill level.  Skill evaluations are typically held one Monday per month at the Bayshore Campus and a charge of $150 must be paid at the time of the evaluation.  Please call in advance for an appointment and to ensure that the proper paperwork is completed prior to the skill evaluation.  Transfer hours may not be entirely credited if the skill level does not meet our requirements; if the student scores below 80% on the written test; of if we feel the student may need additional classrom time. 
      • Transfer students must provide transcripts with their grades and hours at the time of the skill evaluation.
      • Tuition for transfer students will be calculated per hour based on a number of hours needed to complete the program.  Class/lab fee will be prorated based on number of hours needed.  If a kit is required, the student must pay for it on the first day of school.  If only a partial kit is necessary, it can be purchased seperately. 
  4. Obtaining Title IV Aid - please contact VICI Financial Services with any questions regarding student financial assistance 414-525-6350
    • To determine if you are qualified for any of the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) form.  You can file your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov (our school code is 011484) or request a paper FAFSA form from the Financial Services office or your Admissions Representative.  Funds are disbursed by 450 hour payment periods (Cosmetology Program) or 300 hour payment periods (Esthiology Program).  Students must be maintaing Satisfactory Academic Progress to receive Title IV funds.  Satisfactory Academic Progress is monitored at or prior to crossing over into your next payment period.

    • BAN ON REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS: Neither Advanced Institute of Hair Design, nor any of its officers, employees or agents will enter into any revenue-sharing arrangements with any lender, which is defined by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, amending the Higher Education Act of 1965, Pub.

    • BAN ON GIFTS: Financial Aid Office employees (or employees who otherwise have responsibilities with respect to education loans or financial aid) will not accept gifts from any lender, guaranty agency or loan servicer.  A “gift” is defined as any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, or other item having monetary value of more than a de minimus amount.  This prohibition is not limited just to those providers of Title IV loans but includes lenders of “private educational loans” as well.  HEOA does provide for some exceptions related to specific types of activities or literature.  This includes:

    • PROHIBITION AGAINST STEERING BORROWERS: Advanced Institute of Hair Design and its officers, employees or agents will not steer borrowers to particular lenders, or delay loan certifications.  This prohibition includes assigning any first-time borrower’s loans to a particular lender as part of the award packaging process or through other methods.
    • PROHIBITION ON OFFERS OF FUNDS FOR PRIVATE LOANS: Advanced Institute of Hair Design and its officers, employees or agents will not request or accept any agreement or offer of funds for private loans.  This prohibition includes any offer of funds for loans to students at the institution, including funds for an opportunity pool loan, in exchange for providing concessions or promises to the lender for a specific number of loans, or inclusion on a preferred lender list.
    • BAN ON STAFFING ASSISTANCE: Advanced Institute of Hair Design and its officers, employees or agents will not request or accept any assistance with call center staffing or financial aid office staffing.  However, HEOA does not prohibit schools from requesting or accepting assistance from a lender related to:
      • Professional development training for financial aid administrators.
      • Providing educational counseling materials, financial literacy materials, or debt management materials to borrowers, provided that such materials disclose to borrowers the identification of any lender that assisted in preparing or providing such materials.
