The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their
education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who
is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution
at any age.) These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records
within 45 days after the day Vaughn Beauty College receives a request
for access. A student should submit to the CEO/CFO, Manager, Admissions
Office, Financial Aid Office, or other appropriate official, a written
request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The
school official will make arrangements for access and notify the
student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the
records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request
was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct
official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education
records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or
otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A
student who wishes to ask Vaughn Beauty College to amend a record should
write the CEO or Education
Director, clearly identify the part of
the record the student wants changed and specify why it should be
changed. If Vaughn Beauty College decides not to amend the record as
requested, Vaughn Beauty College will notify the student in writing of
the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request
for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures
will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before Vaughn Beauty College
discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student's
education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure
without consent. Vaughn Beauty College discloses education records
without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for
disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A
school official is typically includes a person employed by Vaughn Beauty
College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or
support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and
health staff); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student
serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor
outside of Vaughn Beauty College who performs an institutional service
of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees
and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the
use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney,
auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another
school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official
typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to
review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional
responsibilities for Vaughn Beauty College.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education
concerning alleged failures by Vaughn Beauty College to comply with the
requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that
administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202
FERPA
permits the disclosure of PII from students’ education records, without
consent of the student, if the disclosure meets certain conditions found
in § 99.31 of the FERPA regulations. Except for disclosures to school
officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully
issued subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and disclosures
to the student, § 99.32 of FERPA regulations requires the institution to
record the disclosure. Eligible students have a right to inspect and
review the record of disclosures. A post-secondary institution may
disclose PII from the education records without obtaining prior written
consent of the student:

College whom the school has determined to have legitimate educational
interests. This includes contractors, consultants, volunteers, or other

subject to the requirements of §99.35, in connection with an audit or
evaluation of Federal- or State supported education programs, or for the
enforcement of or compliance with Federal legal requirements that
relate to those programs. These entities may make further disclosures of
PII to outside entities that are designated by them as their authorized
representatives to conduct any audit, evaluation, or
enforcement or
compliance activity on their behalf. (§§ 99.31(a)(3) and 99.35)
-in connection with financial aid for which the student has applied

The Federal Return of Title IV funds formula dictates the amount of
Federal Title IV aid that must be returned to the federal government by
Vaughn Beauty College and/or the student. The federal formula is
applicable to an eligible student receiving federal aid when that
student withdraws on or before the 60% point in time in the payment
period. If a student never begins attendance for the payment period, the
R2T4 formula does not apply.
1. The federal formula requires a Return of Title IV calculation if the
student received or could have received (based on eligibility criteria)
federal financial assistance in the form of Pell Grants, SEOG, Stafford
Loans or Plus loans during the payment period. The percentage of Title
IV aid earned is equal to the percentage of the payment period that was
completed as of the withdrawal date, if this occurs on or before the 60%
point in time. After the 60% point of the payment period, the student
is considered to have earned 100% of the aid for the period. The
percentage that has not been earned is calculated by subtracting the
percentage of Title IV aid earned from 100%.
2. The percentage of the payment period completed is calculated by the
scheduled clock hours in the payment period as of the withdrawal date
divided by the total clock hours in the payment period. The amount to be
returned is calculated by subtracting the amount of Title IV assistance
earned from the
amount of Title IV aid that was or could have been disbursed as of the withdrawal date.
3. If a student receives less Title IV funds than the amount earned,
Vaughn Beauty College will offer the student a disbursement of the
earned aid that was not received at the time of his/her withdrawal which
is a post withdrawal disbursement. Post withdrawal disbursements will
be made from Pell grant funds first if eligible. If there are current
educational costs still due Vaughn Beauty College at the time of
withdrawal, a Pell grant post withdrawal disbursement will be credited
to the student’s account. Any Pell grant funds in excess of current
educational costs will be released to the student. The funds must be
released as soon as possible but no more than 45 days after the date of
determination. Any federal loan program funds due in a post withdrawal
disbursement must be offered to the student and Vaughn Beauty College
must receive the student’s permission before crediting his/her account.
4. If a credit balance exists on the student's account after the R2T4
and institutional refund calculations are done, the credit balance must
be used to pay any grant overpayment that exists based on the current
withdrawal within 14 days from the date that the R2T4 calculation was
performed. The overpaymentmust be eliminated prior to offering a credit balance to a student.
6. Vaughn Beauty College must return Title IV funds to the programs
from which the student received aid during the payment period in the
following order up to the net amount disbursed from each source:
Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loan
Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan
Federal Perkins Loan
Federal PLUS Loan
Direct PLUS Loan
Federal Pell Grant
FSEOG
Iraq Afghanistan Service Grant
7. Returns must be made as soon as possible to the federal programs but no later than 45 days after the date of determination.
8. The statute requires that a student is responsible for all unearned
Title IV program assistance that Vaughn Beauty College is not required
to return. This is determined by subtracting the amount returned by
Vaughn Beauty College from the total amount of unearned Title IV funds
to be returned.
For official withdrawals: If a student wishes to withdraw from
Vaughn Beauty College, he/she must notify the Manager in writing or
orally. The date the notification is received is the date of
determination.
For unofficial withdrawals: Vaughn Beauty College’s determination
that a student is no longer in College is determined after 14 days of
non-attendance.
If a student is on an official Leave of Absence and fails to return
on the scheduled date, the date of withdrawal is the last day of
attendance prior to the start of the Leave of Absence.
