What could constitute good cause for changing student hours?

Changing student hours for good cause is often linked to circumstances that directly affect the student’s ability to fulfill their educational requirements. In the case of student illness, this reason is particularly valid because a student's health can prevent them from attending classes or participating in hands-on training sessions, which are essential components of cosmetology education.

When a student is ill, their absence is necessary to ensure their well-being and to prevent the spread of illness to other students and staff. Providing flexibility in hours to accommodate for recovery not only supports the student's health but also respects the nature of practical training in the cosmetology field, where hands-on participation is critical for skill development.

While increased enrollment, change of instructor, and new curriculum implementation may also necessitate adjustments in scheduling, they do not directly relate to the individual student’s circumstances and welfare in the way that illness does. These factors typically could be managed within the existing structure without needing to change individual student hours, making student illness a more compelling reason for such a change.
