Veterans Addendum to the Catalog

Paul Mitchell The School Austin will permit any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the educational institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

  1. The date on which the Department of Veterans Affairs provides payment for such course of education to such institution.
  2. The date that is 90 days after the date on which the educational institution certifies for tuition and fees following receipt from the student such certificate of eligibility

Paul Mitchell The School Austin will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement of funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Transcripts must be signed by the previous school's Registrar or have an official stamp from the previous school attended if credit is transferred. For all non-transferable credits, transcripts can be unofficial.
