SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

 If a student has special circumstances such as pregnant or a disability and is in need of special and reasonable accommodations the school, International Academy of Style, will evaluate each students circumstance on a case by case basis to make sure the students reasonable needs are met. When the student notifies admissions of a special circumstance and the need for accommodations, either owner, Bonnie Schultz or Loni Casteel, will be notified and a discussion with the student and admissions will ensue and reasonable arrangements will be made. At no time will any school official or instructor ask unnecessary questions about the students circumstances. The student will tell the staff what they need or will work for them. For example if a student is pregnant and is having complications the student can perform their practical procedures from a sitting position, or if put on bed rest by the physician, arrangements will be made for the student to come back to school when released from bed rest with no consequences. Should the student not mention their special circumstance to admissions but an instructor is notified by the student the instructor must inform admissions so that the discussion can take place and any requested accommodations can be discussed and met. At no time will any staff question the request made by the student. All conversations are to remain confidential, if it is required the students instructor to be notified so that the student is safe the instructor will be informed and counseled that all information will remain confidential. With every student the accommodations could be different even if the circumstances are the same.
