State Licensure
The Institute of Beauty and Wellness ensures that all its programs meet the educational requirements for licensure in the state of Illinois. Students are responsible for fulfilling all graduation and licensing requirements.
However, The Institute of Beauty and Wellness has not determined which other states its curriculums meet the educational requirements for licensure, nor has it verified curriculum transferability to other states. Applicants should be aware that licensure requirements vary by state and are subject to change. Therefore, applicants are ultimately responsible for verifying their eligibility for state licensure and meeting any specific requirements.
While a program may initially meet the educational requirements for licensure, changes in state requirements could impact the program’s compliance. Applicants are encouraged to check with their state licensure board to confirm current licensure requirements and seek additional guidance as needed.
The Institute’s admissions department is available to assist applicants who want to learn more about licensure in other states. Additionally, the student services department will assist current students with inquiries about licensure in other states.
Location Change
Upon admission to The Institute of Beauty and Wellness, applicants must provide their physical location by indicating their state of residence. If a student changes their state of residence, they should notify the institute’s admissions department via email and/or letter.
If The Institute of Beauty and Wellness determines that a program does not meet the licensure requirements in the student’s new state of residence, the institute will notify the student within 14 days. This notification will be provided in writing via email and/or letter.
Self Evaluation Process
The Institute of Beauty and Wellness regularly gathers feedback from current students through various methods, including surveys, exit interviews, student leadership meetings, and access to a full-time Director. Feedback from graduates is collected through a graduate survey.
Each year, the Institute holds an advisory board committee meeting that includes the administration, advisory committee members (professionals from each program), current students, and graduates. Based on the feedback received, the Institute implements improvements and changes as needed to ensure compliance with the State of Illinois licensing requirements, NACCAS standards, and U.S. Department of Education regulations.
