Appearance Code

The Institute requires each student to observe the school appearance code. Dress code includes a uniform, which must be clean and wrinkle free, and closed toed shoes. Color of the uniform varies with each program. Students without uniform cannot attend classes, the Director of Education can make an exception according to circumstance. Students must have a clean and groomed appearance.

Conduct

Inappropriate behavior must be handled according to severity. The Institute can take actions, at its discretion, such as warning, suspension, or dismissal to protect the school environment.

Students agree at time of enrollment that the school has the right to impose penalties for inappropriate behavior, according to school policy, without having to prove them, if at least two witnesses agree in writing on a conduct violation. Inappropriate behavior is documented and document(s) are placed in the student’s permanent file.

Drug Policy

Laser and Aesthetics Institute of the Palm Beaches, Inc. has a zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol. No student, instructor, or employee may be on the Institute premises or affiliate clinic under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal. As a drug free and alcohol free environment, individuals under the influence may be subject to immediate dismissal and/or removal. Students may request counseling for substance abuse and will be referred to community resources.

No Smoking Policy

Smoking will not be tolerated within 50 yards of the Institution, offices, or any clinic site.

Responses to Violations of
the Code of Conduct

Exact responses are a part of Institute policy and available to students to examine. Students must sign a receipt of any response whether they agree to such response by the Institute. Every response form includes a section that gives the student a chance to indicate if they agree to the school response. There are three levels of responses: Warning, Probation, and Dismissal.

A student dismissed for inappropriate behavior may be readmitted into the program only at the discretion and terms decided by the Director of Education. The student must file a written request explaining how they have remedied their behavior. The Director of Education shall not reconsider admittance without such letter.

Each inappropriate behavior is handled individually and is not combined with other inappropriate behaviors. A separate warning or probation is issued in the appropriate form(s) for each behavior.
