Dear Student:
Welcome to Professional Institute Of Beauty (PIB). We thank you for selecting PIB to obtain your training in the
beauty field of your choice. You are entering a learning experience that will
give you the opportunity to be successful in the beauty industry.
At PIB, it is our goal to offer you the basic training to improve your
opportunities to take and pass the licensure examination required by the California
State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
We emphasize on teaching you
how to be successful in the marketplace, and how to gain experience from each
of the operations that you will perform during your training. The operations
are an element necessary for you to take the required state license
examination. The state license is required in order to obtain employment as a
cosmetologist or as a manicurist. Your training will take place within an
environment similar to that of your prospective employers. This means that your
will be expected to be punctual, respectful toward your instructor, your fellow
students and your patrons. It also means hard work, dedication, and lots of
practical work on your part. Your training will consist of theory classes,
applications of subject matters studied in the theory classes, shop management,
business concepts, and the elements of personal success.
The training you will
receive will allow you to obtain an entry-level position in the beauty
industry. The real experience and the advancements in this industry will depend
on your own efforts once you work in the beauty field.
It is a pleasure to have you
join us at PIB. The degree of your
success will depend on the effort you are willing to apply during the entire
course of your training.
Again, welcome to PIB. The entire staff wishes you a

Adult students, parents of minor students, have the
right to inspect, review, and challenge information contained in the
institution’s student records. However, a staff member must be present during
the process to provide clarification and/or answers to related questions raised
during the review of the student’s file.
Educational records are defined as files, materials,
and documents that contain information directly related to the student's period
of enrollment that is maintained by the institution. PIB will keep these records for five (5) academic years from the
last day of attendance. After this period, all records are destroyed. The
students are not entitled to inspect the financial records of their parents.
Written consent from the student or if the student is a minor written consent
from the guardian and/or parents is required before educational records may be
disclosed to any party with the exception of accrediting commissions or
governmental agencies so authorized by law.
PIB is in a spacious (7,200 sq.
ft.) two story, air-conditioned, modern, facility with many benefits for our
staff and students. Our school simulates salon conditions to help our students
“learn-by-doing,” with modern equipment and a variety of supplies that help
enhance the students’ product knowledge. There is a lounge that can be used for
eating or resting. Each student uses a locker to keep his/her private articles.
Access
by persons on wheelchairs is only available to the first floor. There is no
elevator service to the second floor.
Generally, the professional in the beauty field must
be in good physical health since he/she will be working in direct contact with
patrons. In most aspects of the beauty field there is a great deal of standing,
walking, pushing, bending and stretching for extended periods of time. A person
must consider his/her physical limitations in terms of making a career choice
that involves extensive physical demands. We promote the acceptance of students
with physical limitations or disabilities if these students (their parents or
physician) believe they can fulfill the training demands.
PIB has been a California
Corporation for over 20 years at its current location. Since
Orientation classes are held on Saturday for those students starting on Tuesday, or on
a one by one basis. The students
that cannot attend the orientation class on Saturday will be given orientation
on the first day of class or before they sign their contract. Before or on the
first day of classes, the student would have physically visited and reviewed
the school facilities and have signed an enrollment contract for the course of
study with the institution.
Our
college does not have an institutional scholarship program.
PIB does not discriminate on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, financial status, age, area
of origin, ethic origin or residence in its admissions, staffing, instruction,
and/or graduation policies.
The school counsels the students individually as
often as necessary. Counseling takes place in monitoring the student progress
as scheduled for the period of enrollment. Salon owners and stylists are
invited to the school regularly to give demonstrations and discuss career goals
with the students. This activity supplements the daily counseling carried out
by the instructors and supervisors. The students may also request additional
career counseling from the instructor in charge at any moment.
The college makes the following information
available to its students, staff, and instructors. Any individual associated
with PIB who is seeking information,
counseling, or assistance concerning Drug Abuse Prevention may call or visit
the following agency:
PIB does not guarantee placement to any student. However, limited job
placement assistance is provided to graduates at no additional charge. Upon
graduation, the student’s name is recorded in a placement register for the
follow-up process. Results from the California State Board of Barbering and
Cosmetology license examination are recorded as passed or failed. Students that
failed the exam are encouraged to return to PIB for assistance and guidance for subsequent attempts to pass the
exam. Placement assistance is providing by reviewing the listings of salons
seeking employees, their job requirements, salary, and other pertinent
information. Students are referred to interviews and the results of these
interviews are recorded in the placement register. The school may show
prospective students this register upon request.
Attendance must be maintained at an average of 67
percent of the scheduled attendance if the student may be expected to complete the
course of study within the 1.5 times of the period of time stated in the
enrollment agreement. An absence may be excused by calling-in the same day
prior to the beginning of class. Students are required to make-up for the
lessons, and exams missed due to absenteeism. However, the made-up work by the
student will not provide credit for hours or operations if not physically
performed within the school premises. If the student is absent 14 consecutive
days including weekends, not including holidays that may fall during the 14
days, the school will withdraw her/him. The instructor in charge or
administrative staff will review excessive tardiness or absences with the
student to determine possible corrective action to the issue on hand. Student
hours and operations once properly earned by the student will not be taken away
from the student records based on disciplinary actions by the school. Clock-in
time is rounded to the nearest ¼ hour. Once theory classes have begun (by five
minutes) students will not be allowed to enter the classroom.
Full-time students are required to be enrolled to
attend a minimum of 24 clock hours per week. Half-time enrollment requires a
minimum of 12 clock hours per week. Part-time enrollment is defined as more
than 12 but less than 24 clock hours per week. A less than 12 clock hour per
week is defined as less than half-time enrollment status.
Students at PIB
record their attendance by entering their names and time to clock IN at the
start of the day, OUT for a lunch period, IN when returning to class and OUT at
the end of the class day. Students will be allowed up to five (5) minutes to
sign-in and receive credit for the full quarter (1/4) hour. Students received
credit for operations completed after each operation or project verified by an
instructor. The daily hours and operations earned are recorded in a weekly
record card. The student and the instructor must initial the weekly record card
daily. At the end of the week, a new weekly record card is prepared from the
last week’s record card. Record
cards must remain in the school at all times.
College officials will grant appropriate credit for
prior training or experience upon review and verification of its validity under
the Cosmetology Act and the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology
Rules and Regulations. Occasionally, a student acceptance by the college will
depend entirely on the credit evaluation conducted by the California State
Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Before enrolling in PIB, it is the student
responsibility to obtain the state’s evaluation. FRESHMAN CLASS: The
freshman curriculum for each of the courses requires a specific number of hours
of classroom lectures, demonstrations and student practice. The freshman class
teaches and introduces the basics of those areas that the student will need to
know to pass the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology examination.
From this initial introduction, the student will learn all the fundamental
basics for his/her future and career. The hours spent in the freshman class are
300 for the cosmetology course and 50 for the nail care course. PIB considers the freshman classes to
be the foundation for the students' learning process.
Students are evaluated on a regular basis on theory,
practical and clinical work. The evaluations are measured on a standard
percentile basis and the percentage converted to a letter grade. Evaluation
forms are issued to the students at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% and 150% of the
scheduled completion of the course. In accordance to the maximum period
allowed, evaluations at 125% and 150%, will apply on those cases when the
student does not complete the program by the expected 100% point. The
evaluation form reflects the overall attendance and academic progress of the
student. Students must maintain a “C” (70%) average to maintain satisfactory
academic status. The grading system detailed below is the system utilized in
the school.
Theory grading Practical grading
90% -100% A Excellent 10 Points 100% A+ Exceptional
80% - 89% B Above average 9 Points 90% A Excellent
70%- 79% C Average 8 Points 80% B Good
69% - or Below D Unsatisfactory 7 Points 70% C Average
Under 7 Points 60% D Unsatisfactory
When a student has completed the required clock
hours, theory hours and practical operations for his/her course of study with a
GPA (Grade Point Average) of “C” (70%) or better, he/she receives a Diploma
certifying his/her graduation of the appropriate course of study. The school
assists the students in completing the necessary documents to file for the
appropriate California State Barbering Cosmetology Examination.
Occasionally, students may experience extended personal, medical or other problems, which make it difficult to attend classes. The institution may allow a student under such circumstances to take a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the program. LOA must be requested in writing by the student and must be approved by the school administration. The written request must include the starting and ending date of the leave of absence. Leaves of Absence may be granted for up to 180 days. Do not request a Leave of Absence unless you absolutely need to be off school for a period of more than 20 days but less then 180 days. Under no circumstances can the school grant more than a single (1) LOA within each 12-month period of enrollment. Students will not be assessed additional tuition charges while on their Leave of absence. Before the start of the leave of absence, students returning from an authorized LOA will retain all credit for clock hours and work projects completed, and will return to the academic progress status they held. Students who fail to return from a LOA will be considered dismissed as of the last class day of attendance. As of the same date, the loan repayment process will be initiated.
STANDARDS: This institution expects
all of its regular students to maintain Satisfactory
Academic Progress (SAP) as established by this institution under the
guidelines of the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and
Sciences, the student must:
3. Complete the course within a maximum time frame of one and one-half (1 ½) times the length of the course as stated in the enrollment agreement. For example, if the student has contracted to complete the course within 44 weeks (including grace time for absences), he or she must complete within 66 weeks.
4. Students meeting the minimum requirements for attendance and academic progress at any evaluation point will be considered to be making satisfactory progress until the next evaluation.
EVALUATION
PERIODS: Students
compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is divided into
evaluation periods and is assessed at each 25 percent of the scheduled course
completion.
The following table represents the percentage of
scheduled course completion, the number of hours scheduled or offered by the
institution and the minimum number of hours required.

All scheduled review dates will be set in accordance
to the enrollment dates stated on the enrollment contract. In addition to the
required number of hours, students must also have to maintain a “C” (70%) or
better grade average.
PROBATION
PERIOD:
Students who fail to meet SAP standards (due to either lack of attendance
and/or low grades) during a given evaluation period will be placed on a
probation status until the following evaluation period. Students will be
considered to be making SAP progress and remain eligible to receive aid during
the probation period. Students who fail to meet SAP by the conclusion of the
probation period will be deemed not to be making satisfactory progress and will
lose any remaining eligibility for student financial aid. Students at this time
may be terminated from the course of study. If the student is allowed to
continue in school, aid eligibility will be reinstated only after the student
has re-established SAP in accordance with the attendance and grading standards
indicated in items 1, 2, 3 & 4 of this policy. Reinstatement of aid is
limited to the period under evaluation. Prior periods in which the student was
determined ineligible for aid will not be included in the student’s
reinstatement of eligibility. Students making SAP by the conclusion of the
probation period will be remove from the probation status and will regain
eligibility for Title IV aid.
APPEAL
PROCEDURES:
The student, who wishes to appeal the non-satisfactory progress status, must
submit a written request to the President of the institution. The request is to
be presented within (15) days of the non-satisfactory progress status
determination and must describe any circumstances that the student believes
deserve special consideration. The President shall evaluate the appeal within
five (5) business days and notify the student in writing of his decision.
Should the student’s appeal be denied, he or she may appear before a school
committee formed by representatives from the administration, faculty and
students to present his or her case. The committee shall be named from three
(3) current staff members and Two (2) current students as needed, and provide
written notice to the student of its decision within three (3) business days.
The decision of the committee shall be final.
Reinstatement: A student that prevails upon the appeal process will be determined as
making satisfactory progress. Financial aid eligibility for funds will be
reinstated to the student.
RE-ENTERING: Students accepted for
re-entering into the program of study, will be placed under the same
satisfactory progress status prevailing at the time of the prior withdrawal.

Standard Textbook of Cosmetology and a mannequin will be issued on or about the
seventh class day into the freshman class. All needed supplies and equipment
during the freshman training will be available in the freshman classroom. At
the end of the freshman training, each student will be issued a complete kit of
equipment with a carrying case. The kit contains the equipment necessary for a
successful completion of the course. Students are expected to maintain the kit
by replacing lost or broken articles. The college is not responsible for a
student’s equipment, either lost, or stolen. Due to sanitary reasons, the equipment once issued and accepted by the
student, is no longer returnable to the school upon withdrawal from the course
of enrollment. The equipment therefore, becomes the property and responsibility
of the student.
Effective October 7, 2000, all charges may be
assessed and billed on the first per payment period.

Once issued,
the books and supplies are not returnable due to sanitary considerations.
NOTE: Length of course duration will vary in accordance
to the number of hours the student is expected to attend on a weekly basis as
stated on the enrollment agreement.
If a student
reaches the expected graduation date stated on his/her contract and needs
additional time to complete hours and/or operations, PIB will extend a courtesy
period of additional training limited to two weeks without assessing additional
charges, and a maximum of 2 weeks of legal, and or medical excuses (1 day per
excuse). Thereafter, overtime tuition charge will be assessed for the remaining
number of hours to complete times the hourly rate of $7.50 per hour. Additional
charges will occur on the student’s schedule days absent or hours missed from
the 2-4 weeks of courtesy. A contract addendum or PIB Termination Form will
reflect the new charges. Charges will continue to incur until student completes
his/her hours of the program to a maximum of $2625.00.
All students
who withdraw in good standing may re-enter into the course of study without the
loss of credit for prior hours and operations earned during the prior
enrollment. If the student transferred to other institution before returning to
PIB, those hours and operations earned at that institution would also be
credited to the student for the new re-enrollment. Each re-entry is treated on
an individual basis. PIB reserves the right to reject students that had
withdrawn from PIB twice before.
Students are
expected to contribute from their own family resources toward the student’s
cost of attendance. Payment plans are available from PIB and/or, private lenders. Federal student financial aid is
available to those that qualify to cover educational expenses. Financial aid
may be in forms of grants (no repayment required) and student loans (must be
repaid). It is the policy of this institution to request from the student
whenever possible, to contribute toward their school charges by making monthly
or weekly installments in accordance to their means. It is also our policy to
discourage students from borrowing loan funds unless is necessary. All
estimates of available funds from financial aid will be first used to cover
institutional charges; if funds remain available, they will be disbursed
directly to the student. For information on the aid programs, please contact
the financial aid office. The entire educational expenses need to be included
in planning the student's ability to meet those expenses. All school charges
must be paid in full before graduation.
Refund policy calculations are performed under two following formulas, the calculation resulting most beneficial to the student would be the one used to determine if a refund is due from the amounts paid and credited to the students tuition account:
California State Prorata
refund calculation requirements applicable to all regular students.
Federal
Prorata refund calculation formula applies if the student received Federal aid,
is enrolled for the first time and if the student withdraws within 60% (in
chronological time) of the first payment period of enrollment for which the
student is being charged.
Buyers Right to Cancel:
All funds paid
will be refunded if the student is rejected for enrollment. All funds paid will
be refunded if you cancel this contract within three business days from the
date you signed the agreement. All funds will be refunded if you cancel this
agreement after the three days, but before the start of school. You have the
right to cancel the agreement for a course of instruction including any
equipment such as books, materials and supplies or any other goods related to
the instruction included in this agreement, until
Cancellation
shall occur when you give written notice of cancellation at the institution's
address. You can do this by mail, hand delivery, or telegram. The written
notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, it is effective when is deposited in
the mail properly addressed with prepaid postage.
The written
notice of cancellation need not take any particular form, however expressed, it
is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by the enrollment
agreement. On the first day of class, you will be given two notices of
cancellation forms for your use if you decide to cancel. However, you can use
any written notice that you may wish.
If the school
has given you any returnable equipment, including books or other materials, you
shall return it to the School within 30 days following the date of your notice
of cancellation. If you fail to return this equipment, including books or other
materials, in good condition within the 30-day period, the School may deduct
its documented cost for the equipment from any refund that may be due to you.
Once you pay for the equipment, it is yours to keep without further obligation.
As stated in the front page of this
agreement, beauty supplies and equipment are not returnable items due to
sanitary reasons. Therefore, once
you have received and accepted any supplies and/or equipment, the cost will be
charged to your account.
If you cancel
the enrollment agreement, the School will refund any money that you paid, less
any deduction for equipment received.
Refund policy
will apply to all students who did not actually start training.
Withdrawal
from course: (Withdrawal notification must be presented to the financial
aid office)
NOTE: The
financial aid office has been assigned as the only office authorized to receive
notices of cancellations, withdrawals and transfers. All notifications must be
presented in writing in order to be processed by the financial aid office.
Other administrative offices or faculty must refer the student to the financial
aid office for terminations procedures.
You have the
right to withdraw from a course of instruction at any time. If you withdraw
from the course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation of the
agreement, which is until the midnight of the fifth business day following the
first class you have attended, the school will remit a refund less a
registration fee if applicable, not to exceed $75.00 within 30 days following
your withdrawal. You are obligated to pay only for educational services
rendered and for un-returned equipment. The refund shall be the amount you paid
for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of hours of instruction which you have not received but for which you
have paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of hours of
instruction for which you have paid. If you obtain equipment as specified in
the agreement as a separate charge and return it in good condition within 30
days following the date of your withdrawal, the school shall refund the charge
for the equipment paid by you. If you fail to return the equipment in good
condition allowing for reasonable wear and tear, within the 30-day period, the
school may offset against the refund the documented cost to the school of that
equipment. You shall be liable for the amount, if any by which the documented
cost for equipment exceeds the prorated refund amount. The documented cost of
the equipment may be less then the amount charged, and the amount the school
has charged in the contract. In any event, you will never be charged for more
than the equipment charges stated in the contract. For a list of these charges,
see the front page of this agreement. IF THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE PAID IS MORE
THAN THE AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE FOR THE TIME YOU ATTENDED, THEN A REFUND WILL BE MADE
WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DETERMINATION DATE. IF THE AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE IS MORE
THAN THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO ARRANGE TO
PAY THE BALANCE DUE.
Hypothetical Refund Example in accordance to the
state prorata policy: Assume that a student, upon enrollment in a 1,600-hour
course, pays in full, $8,400.00 for tuition, $75.00 for
registration, and $425.00 for equipment as specified in the enrollment
agreement and withdraws after completing 600 hours without returning (due to sanitary
reasons) the equipment he/she obtained. The prorata refund to the student would
be $5,250.00 based on the calculation stated below. If the student returns the
equipment (if it was returnable) in good condition within 30 days following
his/her withdrawal date, the school would refund the charge for the equipment
returned and paid by the student.

In determining the
amount, that the student owes for the period of time attended, the time elapsed
includes the hours of training offered to the student but not attended by the
student, from the first date of classes to the last date of recorded
attendance. The student shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any
of the following occurs:
|
a) |
Date
when you notify the financial aid office of your intent to withdrawal. |
|
b) |
Date
when the school terminates your enrollment (monitoring: academic counseling
advising, class, examinations, tutorials, computer assisted instruction,
other academically related activities) |
|
c) |
Date
when you failed to attend classes for a 14 consecutive days period |
|
d) |
Date
when you failed to return as schedule, from an approved leave of absence |
If any portion
of your cost of attendance was covered by the proceeds of a loan, then the
refund will be sent to the lender. The remaining amount of the refund will
first be made to the financial aid programs from which benefits were received,
in accordance to the order of priority provided in federal regulations. If a
course is canceled or the school closes, subsequent to a student’s enrollment,
and before instruction in the course has begun, the school shall at its option:
(1) Provide a full refund of all money paid, or (2) Provide for completion of the
course at a nearby school.
Termination
of contract: there is no reason why a contract will be deemed
terminated by PIB, unless the student provided false information on the
contract, in which case the contract will be terminated but applicable tuition,
equipment and registration charges will apply, according to the refund policy.

NOTICE
CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF UNITS AND DEGREES EARNED AT OUR SCHOOL: Units
earned in our Cosmetology program in most cases, will probably not be transferable.
For example, if you entered our school as a freshman, you will still be a
freshman if you enter another college of university at some time in the future
even though you earned units here at our school. In addition, if you earn
degree, diploma, or certificate in our cosmetology program, in most cases will
probably not serve as a basis for obtaining a higher-level degree at another
college or university. Hours and operations completed are transferable to any
other Cosmetology school. Your license would help you to continue and further
your education at a university level. Each course of study offered by PIB is
considered to be a single course, therefore, students with an outstanding
balance on their tuition account will not be able to receive their transcripts
until the account is paid in full.
Based on a
combination of approvals, authorization, and accreditation, our students are
eligible to apply for and receive tuition aid and financial assistance while
attending the college. A list of these programs include:

The Federal
Privacy Act of 1974 requires that students be notified that the disclosure of
his/her social security number is mandatory. The social security number is used
to verify students’ identities, to process the awarding of funds, the
collection of funds, and the tracing of individuals who have borrowed funds
from federal, state or private programs.
Financial aid
is a mechanism that reduces out-of-pocket costs that the student and/or parents
must pay to obtain a specific postsecondary education. Presented differently,
financial aid is money made available to help students meet the cost of college
attendance. Financial aid includes grants and loans. Grants do not have to be
repaid. Loans usually have low interest rates and a student must repaid in
accordance to the individual loan program terms. Most of the loans can be
arranged to require payment after a grace period of several months upon
graduation, or upon the student’s termination from the program or if a
student’s attendance falls below half time. Financial aid is awarded to
students who have “need”. Need is the difference between the amount of money
that the family will be expected to contribute to meet student costs and the
cost of education at this school.

Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) This form needs to be completed as
instructed on the form. Documentation to substantiate the data entered on the
form may be required by the financial aid office. Forms and assistance in
completing them are available at this school during school hours. In addition
to the FAFSA, the institution requires a series of forms as they apply to the
individual student aid program and to the student’s individual family
circumstances.
Federal William D. Ford
Direct Loan Program
Funds received
from either of the loan programs are subjected to repayment from the student.
Before a loan
document is submitted to the USDE, students must be fully aware of the
financial responsibilities under this loan programs, the rights that the
student has under the individual loan program conditions, and the consequences
of a failure to meet the repayment obligations.
Federal Direct Subsidized
Loan
Federal Direct
Subsidized Loans are made directly to students from the U.S. Department of
Education. Subsidized loans are need based. Students may borrow up to the
amount of the student’s cost of attendance less other expected financial
assistance (not to exceed annual loan limits).
The Federal
Government pay interest subsidies while the student is enrolled or during
periods of deferment. Student would pay a combined origination/guaranty fee of
3% rebated directly to the U.S. Department of Education. Students may receive
both subsidized and Unsubsidized loans provided the combine amount borrowed
does not exceed applicable loan limits and that the student’s eligibility for a
subsidized Federal Stafford Loan be determined prior to determining eligibility
for the Unsubsidized loan. The law also stipulates that borrowers may apply for
both subsidized and unsubsidized loans using a single application and that such
borrowers must be given a single repayment schedule.
Federal Direct
These loans expand the ability of the U.S. Department of Education to make “Unsubsidized” Federal Stafford Loans to students. These loans carry many of the same terms and conditions associated with subsidized Federal Stafford Loans with the following two exceptions:
(1) Unsubsidized loans are not need based.
Students may borrow up to the amount of the student’s cost of attendance less
other expected financial assistance (not to exceed annual loan limits).
(2) The Federal Government does not pay interest
subsidies to the lender while the student is enrolled or during periods of
deferment. Interest must be paid or capitalized, i.e., added to the principal.
Deadlines: Applications need to be submitted at least 30 days
before the end of the loan period for which the loan has been requested. The
student is responsible in locating his or her own lender that participates in
the FFEL Loan Program.
Disbursement: Checks are issue to the school and credited
to the student’s tuition account. It is the student’s responsibility to submit
all required forms and documentation to the financial aid office before
disbursement. For additional information, read the pamphlet "Direct
loan Entrance Interview"
Federal Pell Grant Program: Funds received under
this program are not subject to repayment from the student.
Deadline: FASFA applications must be received by June 30 in
the year on which the application is intended for. SAR or ISIR must be
submitted to the financial aid office by August 29, of the award year from
which aid is requested from, or your last day of enrollment in 2006-2007,
whichever comes first. A valid ISIR requires signatures of student, spouse
and/or parents, when the ISIR has been corrected.
Renewal Process: A FPELL Grant award receive for one award
year (July 1 to June 30 of the following year), and it is not automatically renewed for the
next award year. Students must re-apply for the FPELL Grant and submit a copy
of the new SAR or ISIR to the
financial aid office.

Disbursement: Made based on per payment period via a check
payable to the student or via a direct credit to the student’s tuition account.
Priority for FSEOG funds will be given to students eligible for Pell Grant.
This institution has a year-round enrollment. Therefore, funds will be awarded
in a manner that funds would be available to students enrolling through out the

The information
you report on the FAFSA form when you apply for aid, is used in a formula
established by U.S. Congress that calculated your Expected Family Contribution.
PIB utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student

The school
awards from the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants in
accordance with the following policy: The institutional participation in the
Federal Educational Opportunity Grant is limited to the amount of funds given
to the institution for an entire award year. (July 1 to June 30).
Due to the limited amount of funds
available to the institution, it is literally impossible to award FSEOG to all
students applying for aid. Therefore, the institutional policy to select FSEOG
recipients is as follows:
This
institution has a continuing enrollment process in which students may start
each Tuesday of each week or Wednesday when Tuesday is an observed
Both selections
will be made from students, whose file has been completed, with no issues
pending regarding the students’ eligibility for Federal Aid. Incomplete files will
not be considered in the selection criteria due to possible lack of
documentation. Awards will be made as long as funds are available throughout
the award year.
The following definitions
correspond to some common terms used within the financial aid terminology:
ACADEMIC YEAR: A period of not less than 30 weeks of instructional time with a minimum
of 900 clock hours of instruction for a full time student. The midpoint of the
academic year shall be a minimum of 15 weeks and at least 450 clock hours. In
effect, all students enrolled in courses with an academic year schedule to be
