We strive to provide an education that encourages our students to find their passion for the industry and work towards successful program completion, licensure and career development.

Hours of operation for Sublime Academy are 8:30-5:30, Monday through Friday, with a 1 hour lunch break. Student attendance will be scheduled for 40 hours per week unless a modified schedule is approved by administrators, after they check for feasibility with instructors. Modifications will be approved sparingly on a case-by-case basis.
Sublime Academy does not discriminate against persons on the basis of gender, race, age, color, ethnic origin, religion or socioeconomic status. The licensing requirements for courses offered at the school may restrict some applicants. Questions regarding licensing requirements and the physical demands of the industry may be answered by campus administrators.
Sublime Academy does not provide housing for students. However, if a student is in need of housing we can direct students to the appropriate agencies. We are also not participants in Title IV funding at this time.
All students will participate in an orientation training on the first day of their program. Class sizes are limited so early enrollment is encouraged. Student hours will not be sent to the state regulatory agency until all graduation requirements have been met and the comprehensive final written and practical exams have been passed.

Attendance Policy
Sublime Academy records attendance in clocked hours and gives appropriate attendance credit for all hours attended. Students are expected to be working on theory or practical skills whenever they are clocked in. Students are required to clock in/out at the following times:
1- The beginning of the day
2- The beginning of the mandatory one hour lunch break
3- The end of the mandatory one hour lunch break
4- The end of the school day
Students must clock out if they leave the building. Individuals must clock in/out for themselves. Students are not allowed to clock in/out for other students.
Full-time students are scheduled to attend Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM until 5:30 PM. All courses require continuous attendance. During the contract period, applicants must maintain an 85% attendance average each month. Students are not allowed to attend in excess of 40 hours per week. The maximum allowed time for the regular programs is 115% of the contract time. If the applicant must attend additional program hours beyond his/her maximum scheduled program length due to attendance, or to complete academic requirements, students will be required to pay additional tuition for hours remaining after the contract ending date at a rate of $10 per hour. The amount will be due the first business day, after the contract end date, and will be based on a 40 hour week. If the student is absent and does not attend 40 hours per week, no refund will be issued for the difference.
Students must notify administration of absences at least 48 hours in advance of the absence time. If a student is ill and is unable to give 48 hours prior notice, they are expected to call in by the class start time (8:30 AM). If a student has appointments scheduled and is absent with no call in they will be charged $10 for every appointment that has to be rescheduled. Make up hours are not available. Any time missed will count against your attendance percentage.
Leave of Absence Policy
A Leave of Absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student’s program of study. LOA refers to the specific time period during an ongoing program when a student is not in academic attendance. Students must request a Leave of Absence in advance stating the reason for the leave for approval by the school administration. If approved, the official LOA will extend the contract period by the same number of days designated in the LOA document. If the student returns early the LOA document will be amended to reflect the actual number of days the student was gone. No re-entry fee will be charged if the student returns to class on or before the first class day scheduled after the LOA return date. The LOA and any additional approved leaves may not exceed a total of 180 days in a twelve month period. All approved leaves will be scheduled to begin on the first class day after the student’s last physical day of attendance.
Students, parent/guardian, or sponsor will remain responsible for meeting financial obligations during the LOA.

Dress Code
There is an apparel code that is required for this program. It is the responsibility of the student to provide clothing that will fit the required code. All students are required to wear the approved apron, provided by Sublime Academy. We are not responsible for lost or stolen personal items. All personal items have to be kept in the student lounge area at all times. The safest option would be to leave all personal belongings in the student’s personal vehicle. Coats are not permitted on the salon floor. Hooks will be provided in the student lounge.
All clothing must be solid in color. No logos or patterns
Tops, pants, skirts should be industry appropriate. Keep in mind if you wear a skirt that you may be doing pedicures on a low chair.
Clothing needs to be in good condition, clean, pressed, and fit properly.
No cleavage, midriff, underarms or backsides are to be exposed. Undergarments must be worn, but not visible.
Skirts must be at least fingertip length.
Jeans may be worn with no distressing larger than 2” x 2”.
No shorts, athletic wear, joggers, sweats, biker shorts, or leggings are permitted.
Appropriate footwear should be worn at all times. Crocs, slides, and flip flops are not appropriate footwear.
Black smocks or aprons must be worn on the salon floor at all times!
You must appear clean and ready for the day. Nails and hair should be clean, neat and in a finished style. You can not do your hair, make-up or nails while at school. You must be ready when you arrive.
No baseball hats or visors
Compliance with the published dress code is required at all times. If you are not in compliance you will be sent home. Students are preparing for a career in the beauty and image industry. The dress code is subject to change at the discretion of the school administration at any time. Variations may be granted for special occasions by school administrators.
Drug Abuse Prevention
Sublime Academy of Beauty fully supports the prevention of drug abuse. A list of agencies and phone numbers is maintained in the administrative office and is provided in the student lounge. The use of drugs and/or alcohol on campus is prohibited. If a student attends and is found to be under the influence this can be grounds for immediate dismissal. Students are also not allowed to smoke, vape, or use smokeless tobacco on campus, or within 25 feet of the building.
OSHA
The US Department of Labor and Occupational Safety, OSHA, requires the school to advise its students of the chemicals used in cosmetology and related training. Students will learn about the Material Safety Data Sheets, MSDS, for chemicals used. An MSDS binder will be available under the front reception desk.
Code of Conduct
Sublime Academy of Beauty sets forth specific codes of conduct for the purpose of creating a positive learning environment and to promote work ethic and future success for our students in the beauty industry. The state board requires all students follow sanitation rules and practices at all times. All students are to practice courtesy, professionalism, and appropriate behavior at all times when dealing with staff, other students, and visitors.
Students at Sublime Academy are expected to have greater than 85% attendance. Students are expected to arrive at the school, ready to start, at 8:30 AM. Tardiness not only affects the individual student it sets everyone back and creates more work for the instructors. If a student is deemed to be habitually tardy, 5 or more times tardy, they will be given a warning. Once warned they will be fined $10.00 for every day they are late from that point on.The student will be responsible for obtaining missed information and is to enter the classroom quietly without disturbing the other students. Students may not leave the classroom during instruction without permission from the instructor. A student leaving without permission may be asked to clock out and go home for the remainder of the day. Students are expected to attend daily and be involved in curriculum related activities at all times when they are clocked in. If you are leaving the building you must be clocked out! Make every hour count.
If there is a planned absence, it needs to be approved through administration. If the absence is unplanned the student needs to call in BEFORE 8:30 AM on the day of the absence. If you do not notify administration of an absence in advance, and you have scheduled appointments, you will be assessed a $10 for every appointment that has to be rescheduled. If a student fails to call in on an absence it is considered a no call/no show and they will be assessed a $50 fine for that day. All fines will need to be paid in the first five business days of the following month or the student will be unable to continue on with the program until paid.
Be professional in behavior. This means being kind, courteous, and treating others with respect. Those creating drama will be addressed appropriately. Students are to address their own grievances, not parents, spouses, or other family members. If there is a conflict or grievance, file a grievance form. The QR code/grievance form can be found in the classrooms and student lounge. Administration will meet and address issues within 5 business days. Students will be notified of actions taken. Keep in mind that if we are unaware of issues we can’t address them.
Students are not allowed on the salon floor if they are not providing a service, or working on program skills. The salon floor is where the public sees you building your skills to become a beauty professional. Treat everyday like an interview. Smocks or aprons are to be worn at all times on the salon floor and students are not allowed to have phones, personal items, gum, food, or drink in the salon. Food should be left in the student break area. No food in the classrooms unless the instructor is incorporating it into an activity. Phones are to be put away unless the instructor has requested them out for a curriculum related activity. If phone use is continued after a warning a student will be written up and fined $20. After a warning, a second warning and fine, if the student continues phone use it may constitute dismissal.
Refrain from willful destruction of school property. Be aware that we have many cameras in the school. Anyone found to be vandalizing, causing destruction of school property, or theft will be dismissed and the proper charges will be filed. If there is something you need so badly that you are willing to entertain stealing it, please talk to an administrator.
Students are responsible to keep track of their practical records, dot sheets, and to keep client service records up to date. Services will not be counted if they are not signed off by instructors. Students will have access to their progress and that sheet will be updated at the end of each month. This will include payment, hours, attendance percentage, curriculum progress and practical progress. Any discrepancies must be addressed within the first five business days of the following month. After the fifth day, the record is permanent. Any fees assessed for code of conduct deviations will be billed at the end of the month and will need to be paid within the first five business days as well.
Students are not allowed to perform services outside of the school. As part of developing professional skills students should recommend and prescribe appropriate services and retail products. Students may not make any changes to the appointment schedule. All appointments will be entered by the reception desk and students must accept all appointments given to them.
Student parking is along the east and west sides of the parking lot. You can also park along main street if needed. All front parking is reserved for salon clients and visitors.
Disciplinary Policies
Any infraction of the Code of Conduct, General Policies or Enrollment Agreement could result in any of the following disciplinary actions:
Warning
Upon first offense, a verbal or written warning may be given depending on the severity of the infraction. Due to the short duration of the nail tech program this step does not apply for attendance for that specific program.
Probation
A student who does not correct issues they received a warning about will be placed on probation and fined $50. If the issue is not corrected during the probationary period he/she may be suspended for three days or dismissed permanently, at the discretion of administration, depending on severity.
Suspension
A student will be put on an automatic on day suspension, with no warning, for any of the following infractions:
-Refusing a client
-Not calling in for an unplanned absence before school starts
-Leaving school without permission while being clocked in
-Inappropriate language
-Being unprofessional on the salon floor
Instructors will send the student to the administrator where the student will have the infraction noted on their discipline log that will be kept in their cumulative file.
*When a suspension day is given, the actual day will be determined by the administrator.
Dismissal-Termination
A student’s enrollment can be terminated by Sublime Academy of Beauty for failure to meet any of the institutions policies including insufficient progress, non-payment, failure to comply with policies and code of conduct (including refusal to follow direction of administration and instructors), harassment by student or student’s family, violations of state laws or regulations, disruptive behavior, dangerous behavior, willful destruction, theft, substance abuse, or any other illegal activity. In case of termination by Sublime Academy of Beauty, the student may receive a refund, according to the refund policy described in the enrollment agreement. If a student’s enrollment is terminated the student will need to follow the appropriate withdrawal process.
An appeal may be submitted by way of a clear, concise, written statement containing all pertinent data and facts. Students will be notified of a decision, in writing, within 30 days.
Transfer Students
Official transcripts from the previous institution(s) will be evaluated and compared to the curriculum offered at Sublime Academy to determine where the potential student will stand in curriculum and practicum. The student will be required to take the module assessments to determine if they have the knowledge required to move on through the curriculum offered by Sublime Academy. Transfer students must meet all regular entrance and registration requirements. If approved for enrollment, tuition will be charged at the hourly rate of $10.00 per hour for the course of study. In addition students will need to pay the application, enrollment, curriculum and kit replacement supply fees. The school does not recruit students already attending another school offering similar programs.
Re-Entry Students
Former students of Sublime Academy who wish to re-enter must request approval from school administration. The request will be reviewed and a decision made within 30 days of the request. Students will re-enter with the same $10.00 per hour rate that transfer students are required to pay. If the student has been exited from Sublime Academy for more than 30 days, the same assessment process required of transfer students will be put in place. Students who have exceeded the maximum time frame shall be terminated from the program and would be permitted to re-enroll in a program on the $10.00 per hour rate. Students who withdraw twice may not be considered for re-enrollment. Tuition payments will be paid on the first business day of the month for the full scheduled hours. If the student misses hours for absences, no refund will be made.

*Course offerings may vary based on class enrollment, staff availability and other considerations.
Financial Programs/Aide
Students have the option of paying, in full, at the beginning of their program. Or, we have an in house payment option that includes: 2 weeks before the program starts - 25% of tuition, registration fee, curriculum, kit & finance fee. On the first business day of every month after that there will be a payment due that is the amount indicated on the student contract. The full amount must be paid before hours will be reported to the state, or a student given an official transcript.
A returned check will mean that Sublime Academy of Beauty will no longer accept a personal check from that student. Payments will need to be made with cash, a cashier’s check, or by cc/debit. Any payment made with a cc/debit card will be assessed an additional fee of 3%.
Refund Policy
Policy applies to all terminations for any reason, by either party, including student decision, course or program cancellation, or school closure. Refund calculations are performed, and refunds made, in a timely manner. Monies are refunded within 45 days of official cancellation. Refund calculations are based on scheduled hours.
Minimum Tuition Adjustment Schedule
% of Enrollment % of Tuition Retained by/owed to Sublime Academy
(scheduled hours)
0.01-04.9% 20%
5-9.9% 30%
10-14.9% 40%
15-24.9% 45%
25-49.9% 70%
50% and Over 100%
Non-refundable items include fees, kits, curriculum and fines.
Withdrawal Policy
Students who withdraw from enrollment prior to course completion must complete the Application to Withdraw form and make sure that all financial debts to the school have been settled. Students who withdraw or terminate prior to course completion are charged a cancellation or administration fee of $100. Only upon completion of these requirements will a certified final transcript of hours be forwarded to the state board. The student will also be given a certified, final transcript at that time.
Unofficial Withdrawal
The school, through monitoring clock hour attendance every 30 days, determines “unofficial withdrawals”.
Official Cancelation
A student or legal guardian cancels the contract and demands his/her money back in writing, within three business days of signing the enrollment agreement regardless of whether the student has actually started training. All monies collected by the school are refunded except a non-refundable application fee. The official cancelation date will be determined by the postmark on the written notification or the date the notification was delivered to the school in person.
What happens if a student cancels their contract after three business days of signing, but prior to entering classes? In this case the student is entitled to a refund of all monies paid the school less the application fee, registration fee, curriculum fee and any supplies received by the student.
A student on a LOA that notifies the school that he/she will not be returning will be withdrawn on the earlier of the date they notify Sublime Academy they will not be returning, or the date the student was due to return from their approved LOA. In the case of a disabling illness or injury, death of a student’s immediate family member or other documented mitigating circumstances, a reasonable and fair refund settlement will be made.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Sublime Academy of Beauty follows an academic year for all programs that is 900 clock hours and 30 academic weeks, for purposes of satisfactory academic progress. SAP evaluations will be completed for programs as listed below:
Program Actual Hours/Weeks Erolled

Grievance Policy
The institution will make every attempt to resolve any warranted student complaint. Complaint procedures will be gone over during new student orientation, thereby assuring that all students are aware of the steps to follow should they desire to register a complaint at any time. The institution will retain records of complaints/grievances in school records in order to determine the frequency and nature of complaints. Fill out the grievance form in the student lounge, or classrooms, to register a grievance.
If internal grievance procedures have been exhausted students may appeal to NACCAS or the Utah Department of Professional Licensing.
Employment Assistance
Sublime Academy does not guarantee employment upon completion of a program. However, students will be provided with information on local salons and employment services available through the Utah Department of Workforce Services. Local salons and positions we are aware of will be posted on a job board in the student breakroom.
Records Access Policy
In compliance with FERPA, each student will have access to their student records with a written request/consent signed by the student. Records requested by a third party will be sent only upon consent and signatures from the student unless required by law. Student access to records must be arranged with a member of administration and a staff member must be present while records are being reviewed. Cumulative student records will be maintained for a minimum of three years after the student’s graduation/termination date. Sublime does not publish “directory information” of our students. Student records will be provided to representatives of the accreditation agency to facilitate the accreditation process and information audits. Files may not be removed or reproduced without the permission of the owner of the school as all records contained therein are property of Sublime Academy of Beauty.
Students may be photographed/videoed in the school and those images may be used for advertising, or on the school website. If you do not want your image to be public please inform administration in writing.
I hereby certify that I have received a copy of this catalog prior to enrollment and have reviewed its contents, understand all policies contained herein and agree to comply with those policies.
