MissionIt is our mission to create highly technically trained professional makeup artists to work in various careers in the beauty, fashion, and entertainment industries. By providing the finest makeup artistry training, we qualify makeup artists for jobs ranging from simple beauty makeup to the more complex artistry of special effects. We are committed to the evolution of every artist’s individual style and the creation of well-rounded makeup artists who excel in their chosen specialty.

Our curriculum combines lectures, demonstrations and hands-on training in the different modalities: fashion, bridal, photography, runway, film, television, video and theater. Graduates seek employment in such diverse activities as working with musicians on music videos; collaborating with photographers and models for magazines or runway shows; establishing clientele for a spa, salon, or doctor’s office; freelancing special events such as weddings; working with actors and celebrities for film, television or stage.

History & PhilosophyCosmix is a post-secondary vocational school specializing in makeup artistry. The school was founded in 1997 as a makeup artistry training center and wholesale showroom. Growing demand for specialized makeup training stimulated conversion to a school, licensed in September 2004 by the Commission for Independent Education of the Florida Department of Education. The school’s founding philosophy emphasized educational excellence and began by assembling a team of accomplished artists, each a specialist in a particular area. At many schools, only one instructor teaches the entire course. At Cosmix, we believe you should learn from the best in each area of artistry. Through exposure to many different makeup artists, you will experience various techniques and methodologies and emerge with your own unique style.

AccreditationCosmix is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). The ACCSC is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency.

Federal Assistance ProgramsThe school is approved as an eligible institution by the U. S. Department of Education to participate in Title IV loan programs. The packaging of financial assistance is determined according to guidelines set by the US Department of Education. The following Title IV programs are available for students qualifying for assistance:

Federal Direct Loan Program: These are low interest loans for undergraduate and graduate students that are made available through the Federal Government. This program includes the Federal Direct Subsidized, Federal Direct Unsubsidized and Federal Direct Plus loans. There are grade level progressions and loan limits used for the administration of these loans.

The following Direct Loans are made through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Education:

• Federal Direct Subsidized Loan: This is a need-based-loan for which the Federal government subsidizes the interest until repayment begins and during any period of deferment. This is a loan and recipients must begin making payments at the end of their six-month grace period.

• Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: This is a non-need-based loan for which the Federal Government does not pay the interest subsidy. Interest accrues during all periods. The recipient has the option to pay the interest or to defer payment of the interest for the grace period. This is known as capitalization. This is a loan and recipients must begin making payments at the end of their six-month grace period.

• Federal Direct Plus Loan: This loan is available to parents of dependent undergraduate students to help pay for the cost of the dependent’s education. Borrowers of PLUS Loans are required to undergo a credit check by the lending institution. The definition of a “parent” for PLUS Loan eligibility is a student’s biological, adoptive or step-parent in the event that person’s income would have been taken into consideration when calculating the student’s expected family contribution (EFC). Interest is charged during all periods.

Entrance and Exit Counseling:

Students receiving Federal Direct Loans must complete a student loan entrance counseling prior to disbursement of funds and student loan exit counseling within 30 days of graduating or withdrawing from school.

Title IV Credit Balances:

Tuition and fees are charged by academic year. Federal student aid is received by payment periods. Generally there are two payment periods in a full academic year. When Title IV funds received for the academic year are greater than the charges for the academic year, a credit balance is created on the student’s account. This credit balance will be refunded to the student (or parent in the case of a Parent PLUS loan), within 14 calendar days of the credit balance being created on the student’s account.

Verification

Students selected by the U.S. Department of Education for the process of verification are frequently required to submit additional information and/or parents’ financial & household information to the finance office. The verification procedures will be conducted as follows:

When selected by the U.S. Department of Education for the process of verification, the student must submit all required documentation to the finance office within 10 days from the date the student is notified that the additional documentation is needed for this process.

If the student does not provide all of the required documentation within the 10 day time frame, the student will be required to make other payment arrangements until the documentation is received and the student’s eligibility for federal student aid has been established. The finance office reserves the right to make exceptions to the policy stated above on a case-by-case basis

general school informationfor extenuating circumstances. The finance office will notify the student of any changes to their financial aid award resulting from corrections made due to the verification process. An adjustment will be made to the student’s financial aid award as required by federal regulations and an addendum to the existing award letter or a new award letter will be issued.

lead happy healthy lifestyles and stay disease free it does not have any specific vaccination policy. Vaccinations are not a requirement to be licensed in the State of Florida.

Graduation requirementsStudents must have shown satisfactory competencies in every area of curriculum in order to receive a diploma. All written tests & assessments, quizzes, and evaluations must be completed. Upon completion with a 90% minimum attendance and an academic score of 75% or higher, the student will receive a DIPLOMA.

AttendanceIn order to receive a diploma, a student must have an attendance record of 90% or higher. Any student whose attendance falls below 90% during any evaluation period receives a Satisfactory Academic Progress Warning and if below 90% at the program midpoint is subject to overtime charges of $10 per hour. If it is determined that low attendance has had a negative impact on the student’s education, the student may have to repeat courses before progressing in the program. If allowed to continue the student must correct the deficiency by the next consecutive evaluation period.

Maximum time

The maximum time to complete course requirements is 150% or 1.5 the normal duration of clock hours offered. Example: The Production program is 15 weeks long- 150% is 22 weeks (7.5 weeks past the expected graduation date). Each student must maintain a 67% pace projection in order to complete the program within the maximum time frame. Pace is calculated by dividing the total number of hours the student has successfully completed by the total number of hours attempted. If terminated, a student is eligible for a tuition refund as outlined in our “Cancellation & Refund Policy”. Students receiving VA educational benefits who drop below standards will be terminated from their VA benefits.

tardies

A tardy is being late for the start of class, returning from lunch, or leaving class early. Students will receive a warning after THREE tardies and after SIX may be withdrawn.

Academic PerformanceAcademic performance is assessed by class work, homework, practice sessions, projects, participation, professional disposition and all practical and written exams. In order to pass, a student must achieve an academic score of 75% or higher. A student whose grades point average falls below 75% at the program midpoint will receive a Satisfactory Academic Progress Warning. A student who is still below the Satisfactory Progress standards at the end of the next evaluation period is subject to termination and if allowed to continue will be placed on Probation and must correct the deficiency by the next consecutive evaluation period. If terminated, a student is eligible for a tuition refund as outlined in our “Cancellation & Refund Policy”.

If a student repeats a failed course they will pay tuition costs.Students who are having difficulty should notify the instructor as soon as possible. Tutorial services are provided at no cost to the student. If needed, arrangements should be made with the instructor.

The grading scale is as follows: A= 90% – 100% • B= 80% – 89% • C= 70% – 79% • D= 60% – 69% • F= below 60%.

Satisfactory Academic Progress PolicyAll students are expected to maintain specific standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). A student is considered in good standing when their grade point average is 75% or higher and their attendance is 90% or higher. Students are advised of their academic and attendance status via warnings and progress reports.

SAP is based on qualitative standard (G.P.A.) and quantitative standard (pace) at which a student progresses through their program. Students must be finishing coursework at a rate (67%) to allow them to complete their program within the 150% maximum time frame.

Satisfactory Academic Warning Students below SAP standards at the program midpoint receive a Satisfactory Academic Warning. For students on financial aid the warning status lasts for one payment period. If allowed to continue, the student must correct the deficiency by the next consecutive evaluation period or be subject to termination.

Students must maintain Satisfactory Progress to continue eligibility for funding (Title IV funds, VA benefits, or Scholarships). Students who lose their financial aid eligibility will be required to pay cash for unpaid school charges.

Appeal & Financial Aid Probation Students who do not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards at the program midpoint will lose eligibility for Title IV funding. Students who wish to have their financial aid eligibility reinstated may appeal the school’s determination (for reasons such as death of a relative, injury/illness of the student, or other special circumstances). If it is determined that the student should be able to meet the SAP standards by the end of the payment period, the school grants the student’s appeal. The student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation until the next evaluation point and the student’s eligibility for Title IV funding will be reinstated for one payment period.

Appeal ProcessIf a student is determined as NOT making Satisfactory Academic Progress, the student may appeal the negative determination. The student must submit a written appeal on the school’s form to the school administration within 5 days of the determination, with supporting documentation including reasons why the determination should be reversed and a request for re-evaluation. An appeal hearing will take place within five (5) business days of receipt of this written appeal to consider the student’s appeal and to determine if the student can achieve SAP by the next evaluation period. This hearing will be attended by the student, parent/guardian if applicable, and appropriate school staff. A decision on the appeal will be made within three (3) business days after this hearing, and will be communicated in writing. This decision will be final. Students who prevail upon appeal will have eligibility for Title IV funds reinstated.

Withdrawl date (Official and unofficial)/determination dateThe date of determination is the date a student notifies the school that they are canceling or withdrawing from a program. If the student does not notify the school, the date of determination is 10 business days after the student’s last day of attendance. An active student officially withdraws when they notify the school of their intention to withdraw from school. An active student is considered unofficially withdrawn when they have been absent for 3 consecutive school days from their last date of physical attendance without notifying the school’s administrative office.

return of Title iV Federal Financial AidIf a student withdraws from Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry, the school, or the student, or both may be required to return some or all of the federal funds awarded to the student. The federal government requires a return of Title IV federal aid that was received if the student withdrew on or before completing 60% of the scheduled hours in his/her payment period. The percentage of Title IV Aid earned is determined by dividing the number of clock hours scheduled for completion during the payment period through the withdrawl date, by the total number of clock hours in the payment period. Federal funds, for the purposes of this federal regulation, include Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Subsidized Stafford Loans, and Parent PLUS Loans. The formula used in this federal "return of funds" calculation divides the aid that could have been disbursed into earned aid and unearned aid. A student "earns" financial aid in proportion to the time s/he is enrolled up to the 60% point. If a student was enrolled for 20% of the program before completely withdrawing, 80% of federal financial aid must be returned to the aid programs. If a student stays through 50% of the program, 50% of federal financial aid must be returned.

For a student who withdraws after the 60% point-in-time, there is no unearned aid. However, a school must still complete a Return calculation in order to determine whether the student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. Once the amount of unearned federal aid is calculated, Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry repayment responsibility is the lesser of that amount or the amount of unearned institutional charges. The school satisfies its responsibility by repaying funds in the student's package in the following order:

•UnsubsidizedStaffordLoan•SubsidizedStaffordLoan•ParentPLUSLoan

When Title IV funds are returned, the student borrower may owe a balance to the institution and/or the U.S. Department of Education.

Grounds for TerminationA student’s enrollment can be terminated for insufficient academic progress, non-payment of tuition & supply fees, or failure to comply with rules and policies established by the institution as outlined in the catalog.

Overtime Charges for extended HoursEach student is allotted extended hours (pool of hours) that are not subject to overtime charges to complete their course of study. The Fashion Program has 31 hours, Production Program has 49, and Special FX has 30. This calculates to a 90% attendance rate and is assessed at both the program midpoint and end. Any student whose attendance is below 90% at these assessment points will be charged $10.00 per hour for each hour missed. Students will

Page 17: airbrush makeup - Makeup School, Schools for Makeup ... · Students receive a discount on makeup products and brushes and wholesale prices on all airbrushing products and special

be advised of the cost and required to pay the additional charges prior to graduating.

Leave of AbsenceA student who must take a Leave of Absence (LOA) may do so provided he/she has first received approval by the School Director. LOA applications are available in the Student Services Office. Students who are granted a Leave of Absence must state their estimated date of return within 120 days to complete the enrolled program.

Any student who does not return following the Leave of Absence period will be refunded in accordance to our refund and cancellation policy and withdrawn from the program.

re-entry StudentsStudents who have been terminated or withdrew from school may request re-entry. Such students will be evaluated by the School Director for placement in the curriculum and kit needs. Students applying for re-entry may be required, as a condition of enrollment, to bring delinquent student loans to a current status.

A determination of Satisfactory Academic Progress will be made and documented at the time of withdrawal or beginning of a Leave of Absence. That determination of status will apply to students at the time they return to school. The student may appeal a negative Satisfactory Academic Progress determination according to the appeal policy. Elapsed time during a Leave of Absence does not affect Satisfactory Progress and will extend the contract period by the same number of days as the Leave of Absence. Students re-entering will not be evaluated as new students and consideration will be given to the student’s progress status at the time of previous withdrawal. Re-enrollment is at the discretion of the School Director.

Career developmentMarketing & Career CounselingMarketing is integrated into the curriculum so that at graduation, students are armed with the essential marketing tools they will need to meet with employers. They create business cards, resumes, web pages, and begin their portfolios. Students also plan their marketing strategy, develop interview skills and are counseled concerning their individual professional career pursuit.

Many students participate in community charity events to gain experience, network with potential employees, and add to their resume. For some graduates getting a job in production (Fashion, Film & TV) is a progression- a gradual advancement. In the beginning, many artists work for a small kit fee, or assist an established production makeup artist in exchange for photos to build their portfolio (an essential tool for interviewing). Others are resolute and determinedly contact photographers, agencies, film schools, production companies, TV stations, special event coordinators and land jobs that launch their careers quickly. Career counseling is based upon each individual student’s needs, and is available to all graduates in good standing. Cosmix assists but does not guarantee placement.

Career WorkshopsCosmix provides continuous education and support to students once they have completed their program. All graduates are encouraged to attend career workshops. Industry professionals present lectures and demonstrations to update makeup artists on current fashion trends, innovative products, new techniques, and marketing. Monthly events provide graduates with opportunities to network with others and promote their services while expanding their knowledge.

Careers in Makeup ArtistryHave you always dreamed of a career in the fashion, beauty, or entertainment industry, but didn’t think it was practical? There are many options. You can work with models, photographers, and designers in fashion; actors and celebrities in film and television; clients in a retail environment, spa, or doctor’s office; or you can start your own bridal or freelance makeup business. If you are willing to work as hard as possible to get there, you will succeed!

Fashion: Makeup artists collaborate with photographers and models in one of the most prolific areas of makeup artistry work. There are thousands of newspapers, magazines, billboards, CD covers, company brochures, posters and catalogs printed annually, and millions of photographs on the web. Fashion makeup artists are also key players in the production of Runway Shows, Pageants, and other special events.

Film: Since the 1920s, the film industry has grossed more money every year. Thousands of films are produced each year, and worldwide box office revenue reached $31.8 billion in 2010. Makeup artists transform actors and background extras into whatever the script demands. They use special makeup effects

to simulate injuries, age a character, apply facial hair, tattoos, prosthetic appliances, and bald caps. Membership in the IATSE Union (International Alliance of the Theatrical Stage Employees) offers benefits and helps protect the rights of makeup artists.

television: Another growing area of work is Television. This includes newscasts, talk shows, drama series, sitcoms, reality shows, soap operas, commercials and infomercials. To work on todays’ television drama series, like film, a makeup artist must know ‘character makeup’ and be able to simulate injuries, and create other effects. There are hundreds of television and production companies filming every day.

retail: Retail cosmetics is a huge international industry. The worldwide cosmetics and perfume industry currently generates $170 billion annually. Many makeup artists work in a retail store, a salon, a doctor’s office, or makeup studio applying makeup, teaching makeup lessons and selling a cosmetic line. For entrepreneurial artists, the 500% profit margin offered by many private label cosmetic lines provides a very lucrative avenue of income. Because of a loyal consumer market, the industry remains recession-proof, despite an ailing economy.

bridal: Makeup Artists who specializes in Bridal Makeup are always in demand. The wedding market is an enormous, year round market, and very profitable. This work involves conducting bridal preview appointments and going on location the day of the wedding- applying makeup on the bride and wedding party. Freelance Artists that do weddings also do makeup for special events, pageants, dance performances, parties, award ceremonies, bar mitzvahs, etc.
