Enrollment Procedures

All prospective students of the Esthetic Institute are invited to visit the school and arrange for a personal tour and counseling session prior to enrollment. A catalog detailing all aspects of the school will be furnished to each student (hard copy or electronic), including schedule of tuition and fees, methods of payment, School’s Graduation, Licensure and Job Placement Rates, Licensure Requirements, Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and more. The student will complete an Application for Admission and submit it along with a $100 non-refundable Application fee to be considered for enrollment. An Enrollment Agreement is required for each student registering for a program, and must be signed at the time of registration. The student must agree to comply with the tuition payment schedule documented on their contract. The fees paid for books, kit and supplies (when applicable, as noted in the individual program outlines) are non-refundable once issued to the student, as they become the property of the student.

We have a strict policy when it comes to re-enrollment. We will not re-enroll any student who has been terminated from our program or who has demonstrated disharmony with our purpose, objectives, standards, policies, rules, and regulations. Additionally, we require all financial obligations from the previous school year to be met before a student can be readmitted. Again, our goal is to admit students who are likely to thrive and succeed in our programs.
