RE-ENTRY
When a student either withdraws or is terminated from DEC and then decides to return to DEC at a later date, that student’s situation must be reviewed by DEC’s Reentry Committee. The committee is comprised of selected representatives from administrative departments along with input from the student’s former instructors regarding academic performance, classroom behavior, and any other factors that may be necessary to determine possible candidacy for re-entry. It is important to all staff that any student being considered for re-entry is in a position to be successful at the time he or she returns to school. When the committee reviews a student’s circumstances for re­entry consideration, the factors leading to withdraw/termination are reviewed, as well as factors that are currently making it possible for the student to be successful in his or her chosen program. In some cases, students may be asked to meet with some members of the committee in order to better determine the likelihood of success. Students requesting re-entry may be accepted to return at that time, deferred to another semester, or denied reentry based upon the input provided by all members and instructors. In some cases, a physician’s release may be requested if the student left due to medical issues. Students who were not successfully passing all courses or who had other academic difficulties at the time of leave may be placed on Academic Probation for one semester upon return. All reentry candidates must satisfy any outstanding financial balances with the Business Office prior to committee review. Successful re-entry candidates must fulfill all Admissions, Financial Aid, and Business Office requirements prior to starting classes.
RE-ENTRY POLICY FOR ACTIVE MEMBERS OF ARMED SERVICES
Douglas Education Center will allow service members and reservists to be readmitted to a program of study in which they are enrolled if they are temporarily unable to attend class or have to suspend their studies due to service requirements.
Douglas Education Center will take additional steps to accommodate short absences due to service obligations, provided that satisfactory academic progress is being made by the service members and reservists prior to suspending their studies and that, upon their return, the school work that is missed is made up by the students to the satisfaction of the instructors.
TIME OF ENTRANCE
In order to allow enough time for receiving transcripts, interviewing, and financial aid processing, the prospective student should apply as early as possible. By applying well in advance of the starting semester, the prospective student has a greater chance of securing enrollment.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
All DEC applicants who have attended another postsecondary institution or taken college-level courses will be given the option of applying for transfer of credit for any course(s) taken which parallel course(s) offered by DEC in their chosen program of study. At least 25% of credits in a non-degree or degree program must be taken at DEC. The applicant must provide an official transcript from the institution and a course description for each course for which transfer of credit is requested. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will review the transcript and course description(s) to determine whether transfer of credit will be approved or denied. The prior course(s) must have been successfully completed with a C grade or higher, and within a ten (10) year time frame from the date of the request.
Transferees from another cosmetology school will be evaluated for admittance by the Cosmetology Supervisor. Students will be asked to perform practical services and to take a written examination to determine student’s level of placement in the DEC Cosmetology Program curriculum.
DEC reserves the right to accept or deny any, none, or all of the student’s coursework from another school. Upon results and review of student’s practical and written examination, student’s prior cosmetology coursework will be applied to the appropriate DEC course. The student will then be placed into the semester of the DEC Cosmetology program as determined by the Cosmetology Supervisor and the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
Transfer of credits from DEC to any other postsecondary institutions will be at the discretion of the receiving institution.
There is no guarantee that credits will transfer into DEC. All transfer of credit requests must be submitted to the Vice President of Academic Affairs no later than two weeks after the semester start date of the student’s first semester attending DEC. No transfer of credit requests will be accepted after this date. No Exceptions.
