COURSES OF STUDY
THE HAUNTING BUSINESS
As an extension of the SFX Program, EI launched the EI
Haunting business in early 2008. Students and graduates
have the opportunity to train, and then work in this
business.
EI masks are currently the biggest seller; they are hand-
made of quality ingredients and are of film quality design and
execution; the masks are also hand painted. EI graduates
from the SFX program design and create these masks for the
Halloween Industry. These masks are for sale and are show-
cased at trade shows, at on-line vendors, in retail outlets,
and at the EI on-line store (www.ei.edu).
Each mask can be customized to an individual’s wishes either
by changing a design and/or by changing the colors used.
In addition, the SFX lab can accommodate customized
orders for Haunted Houses, film and television projects,
theatrical productions or for personal use and for artistic
collections.

 STUDENT ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Leave of Absence
Excessive absences work adversely on students’ records,
and if students have a medical or a personal problem
to work out, they may take a leave of absence (LOA),
ensuring that the time lost can be made up when the
student returns. The personal problems for which
students may take a leave of absence include, but are
not limited to: a death of a relative, personal injury or
illness or other special circumstances. For personal
reasons students may take up to a two-month leave of
absence. For medical reasons, students may take up to
a four-month leave of absence. Students must request
an LOA in writing. Students can request an LOA form
from the Director of Education. Students who return to
complete a course or program, for which they received
an incomplete, shall meet all the standards necessary to
receive a passing grade. Upon completion of the required
standards, students receive a certificate or diploma in
accordance with their original completion date.
Making Up Missed Classes
Students who miss a class must make-up each class session
in order to take the final exam and complete each course.
Make-up sessions can be arranged with the instructor
and the director of education. Students can listen to
lecture tapes, attend a make-up class session for lab
and practice either in the morning or evening classes;
most Fridays are open to students to make up class work.
32
Catalog02_09FINAL.indd 32-33
All projects and assignments must be turned in prior to a
final grade and/or transcript being issued for each course.
Student Records
Student financial records are maintained for ten years after
students have completed their stay at this school. Academic
records are kept into perpetuity. All files are secured in
locked, fire-proof and flood-proof cabinets in a secured
location safe from casual contact and theft.
Probation and Termination
If for reasons of poor academic progress and/or poor
attendance, students may be placed on probation.
Probation is a measure taken by the school that is designed
to help students correct their behavior and/or academic
deficiencies. Probation remedies are meant to help students
improve their performance. It is the school’s responsibility
to identify student deficiencies and take corrective measures
to provide students with the best opportunity to improve
their status in school and become successful and prepared
to be professional makeup artists. The average probationary
period is three weeks or six class sessions.
Termination is a measure taken by the school when a student
has not successfully met the standards of the school. Some
reasons for termination include: not improving performance
once placed on probation, not adhering to the student
rules given to students at orientation, being under the
influence, consuming, selling or possession of drugs or
STUDENT ACADEMIC PROGRESS
alcohol on school premises, possession of a weapon on
school premises, demonstrating disrespectful behavior to
another student, administrators or faculty or for failure
to meet financial obligations.
Appeals Process
Students have the right to appeal any disciplinary action,
but they must do so in writing. Students’ Written Appeals
will be reviewed and evaluated by the director. The appeal
must be received within 30 days of the initial action and
provide all information relative to the event or situation
resulting in the disciplinary action. The school director
will reply in writing within 30 days. There are specific
grounds on which a student may appeal a determination
that a student is not making satisfactory progress. EI’s
procedure allows for mitigating circumstances under which
an SAP appeal would be approved. Those circumstances
are: 1) the death of a relative of the student, 2) an injury
or illness of the student or 3) other special circumstances.
Student Conduct
EI students are being trained to be professional makeup
artists. EI expects students to behave in a respectful and
professional manner at all times. Students are to follow the
school rules listed in this catalog, cooperate with classmates,
staff and faculty and abide by the Student Rules of Conduct
given to students at the orientation and reinforced through-
out the school experience.

 STUDENT RULES OF CONDUCT
Student Rules of Conduct
The following rules are to be observed by students at all
times. There are no exceptions to the following rules. We
are helping students to establish and maintain professional
skills throughout training, for both artistic and business
disciplines.
• Attend all classes; if you must be absent, you must
notify the school personally by calling.
• Always be on time for class and stay until
class has ended.
• Come prepared; bring all supplies, note pads,
pens/pencils, makeup, etc.
• Cell phones are not to be used in class nor are
voice-activated bilingual or electronic equipment
for any reason while in class. Messages can be left
at the front desk.
• Notify the instructor if you are unable to attend class.
Three absences from class is grounds for academic
probation and four absences constitutes termination
from school.
• Adhere to proper conduct and behavior in all
classes at all times. This includes conducting
yourself in a professional and appropriate manner.
• Comply with all instructor rules and policies at
all times.
34
Catalog02_09FINAL.indd 34-35
• Complete all assignments, including projects, on time
as required by the instructor.
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress and no
cheating for any reason.
• Abide by the school’s drug and alcohol-free policy.
• Abide by the school’s dress code: be well-groomed
for class, no visible underwear, no “flip-flops”, no
see-through clothing, no shorts, no short skirts,
no “wife-beater” T-shirts and no mid-drifts or
navels are to show at any time.
• Use the Student Lounge as a resting place and not
the lobby/entrance.
• Always leave the classroom, work area and rest rooms
clean and neat.
• Never bring children or friends (who are not models)
to school.
• Complete course work, projects and exams on time.
• Always be respectful and courteous to faculty, staff
and classmates.
Prior to Graduation
Prior to graduation the student must complete the following:
• Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.0
(C grade) for each course;
• Satisfy all financial obligations to the school; and
• Complete the enrolled course of study within 1.5
times the stated length
Students receive notice of their progress at the mid-term
for each course. Students must maintain a passing grade
of 70% (C), as a minimum, at each level of progress.
Grades are posted at the end of each course.
Students whose grades fall at 69% or below will be placed
on academic probation until the next assessment period.
If students have not improved their grade point average by
the next assessment period, they will be suspended from
class. A student who has been suspended will be allowed
to return the next time the course is offered, as space
is available, and if the student agrees to comply with
the school’s SAP.
If a student fails to complete any course or program, for
any reason, the maximum time allowed to complete the
missed requirements is 1.5 times the normal duration.
For example: The Artistry of Makeup Program is 600-clock
hours, taught over 96 class sessions, in 48 weeks (excluding
breaks). Therefore, a student has a maximum of 72 weeks
of school days to complete the program requirements to
GRADUATION
receive a passing grade. Courses of 100-clock hours are
held over an 8-week period, therefore, a student has a
maximum of 12 weeks, in total, to complete the course. If
a student fails to complete any course or program within
the 1.5 period of time, and the student is not on a leave of
absence, the incompletion shall be converted to a failure at
the end of the period.
The only other exception to this policy is for an authorized
Leave of Absence approved by the school director or
director of education.
Students must submit a written request for a Leave of
Absence prior to the period of the absence, and state
the reason for the LOA, such as, medical purposes, family
emergency, etc. An LOA can be arranged for a maximum
of two months. If the reason for the LOA is for medical
purposes the LOA may be as long as four months, but
any medical LOA request must be accompanied by a
doctor’s note, and a doctor’s note must be submitted
allowing the student to return to class. At the end of
the Leave of Absence, if the requirements are not met
for completion of the course or program, then the leave
shall expire and the incomplete status will be converted
to a failure.
