Our refund policy complies with Section 1602.458 of the Texas Occupations Code and ensures fairness to both the student and the Academy.
A student is eligible for a refund of any unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges paid if they:
Fail to enter the course of training after the expiration of the cancellation period established under Section 1602.457;
Withdraw from the course of training; or
Are terminated from the course of training before completion.
The refund will be based on the period of the student’s enrollment and will be computed based on the course time expressed in scheduled hours, as specified by the enrollment agreement or contract.
The effective date of termination, for refund calculations, is determined as the earliest of:
The last date of attendance, if the student is terminated by the school;
The date the school receives the student’s written notice of withdrawal; or
10 school days after the last date of attendance.
The following fees are non-refundable:
Permit fees
Application/enrollment fees
Kit fees
CIMA fees
Supply fees
A $350 withdrawal/drop fee will be assessed for any student who withdraws or is terminated from the course after the cancellation period expires.
If tuition is collected before the course begins and the student withdraws before the cancellation period expires, the Academy may retain no more than $100 as an administrative fee.
By enrolling in Lashing Out Ink Academy, students acknowledge and agree to this refund policy. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact us at:
The academic progress of a student is reported at various intervals throughout the program. Theory and practical work are graded according to the following scale:
A 90 – 100 (Superior) B 80 – 89 (Above Average) C 70 – 79 (Average) F 0 – 69 (Failing)
The following factors will be measured to determine academic progress:
Theory work (test grades, homework assignments, etc.)
Practical work
Sanitation grades
Students must maintain a C grade average and 75% attendance to be considered making satisfactory academic progress.
Students who are absent for a scheduled practical or academic test or quiz are encouraged to make up the work.
Note: There is no “Incomplete” status in the Academy.
Attendance
– Students cannot miss more than 5 consecutive days.
– Students should attend 18 or more hours in person weekly.
– However, students must attend a minimum of 14 hours in person weekly.
– Students must maintain an attendance average of 75% to be considered to be in satisfactory academic progress.
DETERMINATION OF PROGRESS:
Evaluation of progress for all students enrolled in Lashing Out Ink Academy is conducted by the School Director (or school official), to review the actual hours for academics and attendance. At the scheduled Satisfactory Progress evaluation periods, students receive a copy of their Satisfactory Academic Progress Report from their instructor or the Director.
Attendance is extremely important. All students are expected to attend class, daily, and on time. Students must maintain an attendance rate of 75% at the evaluation point to be considered to be in satisfactory academic progress.
– Students must be in class to learn the materials and practice the skills to succeed.
– All students must inform the office of absences or tardiness.
– This is especially crucial for students who are taking client appointments, as the client will need to be rescheduled. Failure to give proper notice will result in a written warning or a “write up,” subject to instructor approval.
– Attendance records are maintained, electronically and manually, which clearly show the attendance of a student.
– These records indicate the student’s presence, absence, or tardiness for each scheduled day. These records are maintained, in such a manner as to make the student’s attendance readily determined by anyone authorized to inspect such records.
– All classes begin at 09:30 AM. After 10:00 AM, a student is considered late, the student may not clock in for that class. Night class begins at 5:00 PM; after 5:30 PM, students may not clock in.
– Students may not switch from day to night classes (vice versa) without prior approval and notice.
– If a student exceeds the contracted graduation date of their program, the student will be responsible for over contract tuition for all hours needed based on the current hourly rate.
A student may be immediately expelled, suspended, or terminated for violating rules and regulations of the school.

b. Personal calls or use of cell phones for “other than school work” is limited to lunch or when not clocked in.
c. Cell phones may not be used on the clinic floor or whenever working on customers.
6) Excessive tardiness and/or absences will result in failure of satisfactory academic progress criteria and may lead to termination from school.
