Rule 30-2101-3.9 - Licensing Examination Pass/Fail RatioA. The Board of Cosmetology maintains records of the results of each student's licensing examination, by school. If, at any time, it is determined that the average grades of graduates of a school, fall below 70 (passing) on either the written examination or any segment of the practical examination for a minimum period of six months, the Board will take the following action: 1. The owner and instructional staff of the school will be invited to meet with the Board to discuss the problem.2. Within 30 days from the date of the meeting with the Board, the school will submit a course of action or "compliance plan" which will indicate their awareness of the problem and which will set forth in sufficient detail what steps they plan to take in an attempt to improve the pass/fail ratio.3. The school will be allowed a minimum period of six months in which to improve the average grades to a passing average. If the school can demonstrate that an insufficient number of students have graduated or qualified for examination to allow a fair review of the examination average, the board may, at its discretion, allow a compliance plan to be in effect for longer than six months.B. At the conclusion of the agreed upon compliance plan period, if the average examination grades of the school have not improved, the Board may take the necessary action to suspend or revoke the school license.30 Miss.
