skills exit requirements in s. 1004.91 F.S. or Rule 6A-10.040 F.A.C. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement
(FDLE) has designated the Florida Basic Abilities Test (FBAT) for use with these students; please refer to s.
943.17(6), F.S., for more information.
Applicants transferring appropriately leveled TABE, CASAS GOALS, GED® test sections, or other common placement
tests must do so by having an official score report sent directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the program.
Scores brought by hand will be accepted only if the document provided by the outside testing center is in a sealed
envelope.
Remediation of Basic Skills
According to Florida Department of Education rules, students who do not meet basic skills exit scores may only
retest after 60 documented hours of remediation or three months if no documented remediation is available.
Students may not retake the same test version for six months. We, therefore, strongly recommend that students
test early, especially for licensure programs, in order to allow time for remediation and retesting should the need
arise.
Students who do not meet the minimum basic skills exit scores set by the Florida Department of Education for their
program may begin attending remediation classes prior to or at the time of enrollment in a Career and Technical
Education program and make acceptable progress as determined by the AAAE faculty member. It is highly
recommended students meet state mandated basic skills requirements by the time they have completed 50% of their
program. Students who do not meet state mandated basic skills exit scores may not receive a certificate of completion as
per Florida Department of Education rules.
Some basic skills test scores are only good for two years and must be valid at the start date of the initial enrollment
period. Basic skills test scores that expire during continuous enrollment remain valid until the end of such enrollment.
Under continuous enrollment, students must be enrolled at least 50% of each semester. Continuous enrollment applies
to attendance in a single program.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as identified on the
secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or postsecondary student’s accommodations plan to meet individual needs to
ensure equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request
accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their postsecondary provider.
Students desiring accommodations or updates to their accommodations are encouraged to self-identify before or as
soon as possible to the Special Populations Coordinator and provide documentation that clearly shows evidence of a
disability and applicable accommodations. The Special Populations Coordinator will schedule a meeting with the student
and faculty to discuss the documented disability and applicable accommodations.
Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education.
Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such
areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments, assessments, time demands, schedules, learning
environment, assistive technology and special communication systems. Documentation of the accommodation
requested and provided is maintained in a confidential file.
Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the Special Populations Coordinator to
arrange appropriate accommodations. Students are required to give reasonable notice (typically 5 working days) prior to
requesting an accommodation.
TUITION
Tuition is charged to adult students at a rate established by the State legislature. Current fee information is available in the
Admissions Office. Tuition is waived for eligible hi
gh school, care
er dual enrolled students. Tuition is due prior to the first
Cosmetology, Facials Specialty, Nails Specialty

07/28/2022
day of each payment period based on the Lake Technical College payment calendar. Failure to pay fees at the time class
begins may result in not being able to attend class and/or clinical.
INSURANCE
Personal injury/school accident insurance is required for all Career and Technical Education students. This insurance is
provided through Lake Technical College at the rate of $1.50 a month. The accident insurance fee will be charged to
students per payment period.
Health programs with clinical experiences require liability insurance in conjunction with requirements by the healthcare
facilities. The liability insurance fee is charged to students at the time of enrollment.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Guidelines for All Students
In an effort to develop professional skills, regular attendance is required of all students. Students are expected to be in
their class promptly in the morning, after break, and after lunch. If it is necessary to be absent due to illness or
emergencies, all students are to notify the faculty member as soon as possible prior to the start of class, as is expected in
the workplace. Students may be eligible to have up to 10% of the hours in a program per pay period as excused
absences. LTC employs a Student Retention Specialist who works with students and faculty to track attendance, assists
in developing strategies to improve attendance, and coordinates make-up time.
Enrollment Period – period of time a student begins his education and training in a CTE program (i.e., August 15
th
,
January 3
rd
) through the date of withdrawal or completion.
Payment Period – a set block of time in which a student pays for program hours (i.e., 300 hours, 450 hours)
Excused absence – one that is unforeseeable, unavoidable, and/or unusual. Examples of excused absences include
but are not limited to personal illness, court appearance, medical appointment, insurmountable conditions such as
extreme weather conditions, religious observances, communicable disease outbreaks, and local conditions
determined by LTC, and death in the immediate family. Documentation may be required. No more than 10% of
program hours per payment period may be excused.
Unexcused absence – Absences that fall outside of the excused category. Students may make up a maximum of 5%
of unexcused absences per payment period. Unexcused absences exceeding this amount will remain unexcused and
may result in discipline and/or dismissal from the program. Make-up time must be completed within a reasonable
amount of time in order remain in pace with the class and to remain in good standing with Lake Tech.
Make-up time – Students are required to successfully complete hours missed via attendance during designated hours
outside of the regularly scheduled program hours. Failure to complete make-up time may result in withdrawal from the
program. Make-up hours may not exceed 5% of the scheduled hours in the payment period. There is a $25.00 make-
up time fee per payment period.
Students in non-licensure programs must have achieved a minimum of 85% attendance at the end of each payment
period. If the student’s attendance does not improve but drops below 75%, the student may be withdrawn unless
documentation regarding extenuating circumstances is provided to the Student Retention Specialist. School Intervention
Team (SIT) meetings will be held as necessary to attempt to alleviate issues resulting in excessive absences and to
counsel the student of possible alternatives and consequences. Students may be placed on attendance contracts.
Students on attendance contracts are deemed to be on academic probation.
*Note: licensure program attendance policies may be more rigid due to licensure requirements and supersede this policy.
Regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for attendance. Coursework completed at home will not count toward
hours in a program. Students will be enrolled in additional hours if needed. Current tuition and fees will apply.
Excessive absences - A student who is absent for six (6) consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from his/her
program. A student must petition and be approved in order to return. Students exhibiting a pattern of consecutive
absences of less than six days will be subject to dismissal as determined by a School Intervention Team. A School
Intervention Team will review all petitions for re-enrollment. No additional fees will be charged if the student returns
during that current payment period, provided fees have not been refunded.
Cosmetology, Facials Specialty, Nails Specialty

The excessive absences policy also applies to the adult education student. If the student requests to be re-enrolled during
the same enrollment period, he or she will be assessed a $10.00 re-enrollment fee. This may be waived depending upon
mitigating circumstances.
Students with excessive absences will face the possibility of the loss of financial aid, lower professional skills grades and
the ability to continue in the program.
Leaving Campus During School Hours
For safety reasons, students will notify their faculty when leaving campus early. Students may leave campus for lunch
provided this is done within the allotted time.
PLAN OF INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES
Teaching Methods
Lecture, demonstration, discussion, group interaction, verbal and written quizzes, skill practice, individualized instruction,
computerized tutorials, interactive learning, web-based learning, textbooks, workbooks, projects, journals, reports,
simulations, hands-on computer experience, collaborative learning, video-taped instructions, guest speakers, field trips,
customer service projects, program job shadowing, cooperative on-the-job training, interactive learning, and web-based
learning are among the teaching methods utilized.
Among the provisions made to allow for individual differences are pre-testing to determine entry level, workbooks and
study guides for progress at individual rate, progress grading, individualized instruction, individual project assignments,
and referral for basic skills remediation.
Online Access
Technology is an integral part of our daily lives. From smart phones to electronic tablets, these devices are becoming
items that many cannot function without. In addition, the Internet is changing the way education is delivered. Lake
Technical College strives to ensure that our students are able to compete in this technology driven world. With this in
mind, it is recommended that students have an online presence and access to the internet.
It is also important that students have an email address that they check on a regular basis. A lot of information may come
to you through your email, so it is important that you check it regularly. If you do not have an email address, there are
numerous services that provide FREE email addresses. Please make sure your faculty have a current, working email
address for you. See your faculty for more information.
Social Media
The advent of social media has created a world-wide communication medium for persons of all ages. While extremely
popular, these websites have also created their own set of “not-so-popular” problems such as cyber-stalking, identity theft,
cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and a host of other nebulous challenges that
users may face. Another reality associated with social media is its far-reaching consequences for those who share posts
that may be seen by others as inappropriate.
Potential employers, current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be associated with, and many others
are looking at social media sites for information that may tell them things about an individual. Students should also be
cautioned on how private their social media content really is – despite the settings on an account. All social media sites
are potentially vulnerable. A simple search of how to view pages that are set as “private” for a popular social media
website yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content. Everything from blogs to online videos offer to explain
how to accomplish this task.
Students in all programs need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on great moral character. It is
recommended that when using social media, assume that all posts will be seen/read by everyone with access to the internet.
Evaluation
Class performance, quizzes, tests, attendance, portfolio assessments, completion of project assignments, decision-
making, professional skills, achievement of entry-level competencies, and other methods are used for evaluation. See
“Grading Procedures”.
Work Based Activities
Work-based learning activities play an integral part of the curriculum of LTC’s career-technical training programs. These
activities are planned with two objectives in mind. First, the activity provides students with the opportunity to develop and
apply a “real world” experience using the knowledge and skills attained in the program. Second, the activity provides the
Cosmetology, Facials Specialty, Nails Specialty

07/28/2022
faculty with objective input from potential employers or customers of program graduates. Each work-based activity has a
written instructional plan outlining objectives, experiences, competencies and evaluation required during the activity.
Work-based activities are program specific and may include:
Unpaid in-school shop/lab activities to provide customer service opportunities under the direct supervision of the
program faculty.
Unpaid job shadowing experiences that may include in-school or off-campus employer-based experiences under
the supervision of a qualified employer representative who is working closely with the program faculty.
Paid or unpaid cooperative training experiences conducted at the employer’s work location under the supervision
of a qualified employer representative and under the direction of the program faculty.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative training is available for students and coordinated by the faculty. Cooperative training is for students who
have shown competence in program training that indicates readiness for placement in an on-the-job program. High
school students participating in the cooperative job placement program must be in at least grade 12. Students must be
enrolled in their last course of their program in order to participate in Co-op. In addition, basic skills exit levels must be met
and the student can have no outstanding debt with the school. Students must be approved for Co-op prior to beginning,
including clearance through financial aid.
Students may be returned to the program for additional training if they do not function satisfactorily on the job or when the
cooperative agreement is terminated at the request of the student, parent, employer, or program faculty.
Veterans will be accepted into the program in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs approved program.
Additional information regarding co-op opportunities may be obtained from the program faculty.
Job Shadowing
Job shadowing experiences, or volunteer experiences, are available to students as part of their program training. These
experiences are designed to give the student actual hands-on experience doing a variety of related tasks. Length and
type of experiences will vary. The program faculty determines appropriateness of the experience. Additional information
regarding job-shadowing experiences may be obtained from the program faculty.
Career Dual Enrollment Students
All students enrolled in Lake Technical College are expected to function as adults. High school students will be held to
the same behavioral and performance standards as adult students.
GRADING PROCEDURE
Grading Scale
The grading policy for this program is as follows:
90-100 Excellent
80- 89 Passing
< 80 Failing
Lake Technical College is a postsecondary institution designed to provide trained individuals to industry. The grading
scale for this program reflects industry standards. The approved postsecondary program grading requirements must be
met if the student is to receive a certificate.
Program grades are based on the three criteria: Skills, Knowledge, and Professional Skills. Each area counts as one-third
of the grade. Students have access to final course grades through the student portal. A minimum grade of 80% in each
area is required in order to receive a passing grade. If a student’s grade is below 80%, the student will be counseled as to
what steps need to be taken to bring the grade to a satisfactory level.
Licensure programs may have a grading scale reflective of their industry that varies from the above.
Program Progress
Students are expected to complete the program of training within the hours allotted by the State of Florida for completion.
The student’s rate of progress will be closely monitored by the faculty and the Student Retention Specialist to ensure
program completion in a timely manner. Most tests, projects, and similar assignments must be completed in class under
the direction of the instructor.

INTRODUCTION
Trained and licensed professional cosmetologists in all phases of cosmetology are in demand in each community and
area of our country. The Cosmetology programs provide the student with the opportunity to learn the skills and techniques
of cosmetology along with laboratory practices, information, related technology, and correct terminology necessary to
become gainfully employed in the fields of hair, facials, and nails.
Instruction is geared to:
1.
Teach the competency standards for cosmetology, facials, and nails, as applicable.
2.
Teach the student to develop good habits of safety, cleanliness, orderliness, accuracy, and precision in all work.
3.
Teach the care, use, and maintenance of all tools and equipment.
4.
Teach the importance of communication skills.
5.
Develop within students an appreciation for natural beauty and creativeness.
6.
Emphasize pride in work.
7.
Prepare the student for the State Board of Cosmetology examination in cosmetology to obtain proper licensure.
The purpose of these programs is to prepare a person for employment opportunities as hairdressers, cosmetologists,
registered nail or facial specialists, or to provide supplemental training for persons previously or currently employed in
these occupations. Instruction is designed to qualify students for employment upon successfully passing the Florida
cosmetology license examination or obtaining a registration from the State Board of Cosmetology.
The following is an overview of the Cosmetology Program as taught at LTC.
Cosmetology learning is divided into practical (work on mannequins, other students, patrons) and theory (academics).
Initially, the students begin Grooming and Salon Services core.
Once CORE is completed, the students begin learning the required practical skills on school mannequins, their own
mannequins, and by exchanging services with each other. They learn from "demos" performed by a faculty, from reading,
and from videos. At the beginning of learning any new "hands-on" skill, the student requires the faculty to be close at hand
for guidance and correction as to techniques, procedure, and safety.
