Winonah School of Cosmetology has a zero drug and alcohol tolerance policy (This also includes prescription drugs which may alter the mind and/or motor skills). When the institution feels it is necessary, law enforcement may be called at any time in the event of an incident of drug and/or alcohol and/or weapons, and you may be terminated.

The Policy: The Department of Education accounts for unique situations by authorizing Financial Aid Administrators to exercise Professional Judgement to adjust data elements used to determine a student’s Student Aid Index (SAI), components of a program’s Cost of Attendance (COA) and / or dependency status. The two categories Financial Aid Administrators consider in exercising Professional Judgement are special circumstances and unusual circumstances. Special circumstances refer to the financial situations that justify making an adjustment to the data elements in the SAI calculation or the components of the COA. Unusual Circumstances refer to conditions that justify an adjustment to a student’s dependency status based on a unique situation and allow an administrator to complete a Dependency Override. If a student has a unique situation in either category of special and/or unusual circumstances, they may request our financial Aid Office to review their individual circumstances. Upon review, our aid administrators will make a final determination on where a Professional Judgement is substantiated and make the necessary adjustments to reflect that decision.
