Enrollment Contract Expiration

Top of the Line Barber College understands that life happens; as a result, all student enrollment agreements are extended by an additional 10% of the contracted hours; this grace period allows students additional training time to complete their contracted hours without incurring any additional financial fees. The grace period of 10% provides an allowance of approximately 37 days for full-time students and 21 days for part time students to complete the Barbering Program, without incurring any extra instructional charges (not to include transfer students).

For transfer students, the grace period of 10% (calculated as the number of days) will vary as it is based upon the amount of contracted training time at the time of enrollment. Once these allowed absences have been exhausted, and the student still has not completed the required training hours at the end of the contracted period, then he/she will be required to pay for extra instructional time for the remaining training hours.

Additional Training Time

Students whose enrollment has exceeded the terms of their enrollment agreement may continue to earn training hours by purchasing additional training time.

The current rate for additional training time is $250 per week for the entire week or any part thereof. Payments must be submitted at the beginning of each week in advance of any training hours. If the student fails to submit payment in advance, then he/she will not be allowed to clock in and participate in class until payment is received.

Students will be allowed to purchase additional training until the expiration of their maximum time frame as published in their enrollment agreement.
