Which of the following is NOT a reason for making changes to student hours?

The correct choice indicates that the completion of coursework is not a reason for making changes to student hours. In the context of Arkansas Cosmetology laws, changes to student hours typically need to be justified by specific circumstances that are beyond the student's control, such as personal schedule conflicts or the need for administrative approvals.

While completion of coursework is essential for a student’s progress, it does not constitute a valid external reason that warrants an adjustment in scheduled hours. The laws are designed to ensure that changes to student hours maintain the integrity of the educational process and comply with regulatory standards, which focus on factors that genuinely affect a student’s ability to participate in their training. Thus, changes based on personal reasons, outside of academic completion, are the only situations that would qualify for hour adjustments, confirming that the completion of coursework does not fit this criterion.
