Paul Mitchell The School Phoenix is a main campus accredited by the
National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) and
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Each agency requires
schools to provide important information regarding outcome rates in the
areas of completion, placement, and licensure; however, each agency
requires that we provide outcome rates differently. NACCAS requires schools
to list the outcome rates for each main campus and all additional campuses
as a whole. In this case, Paul Mitchell The School Phoenix is the only
campus; the outcome rates provided are for Paul Mitchell The School
Phoenix. NACCAS requires schools to list the outcome rates also by a
related program. The U.S. Department of Education requires outcome rates be
provided based upon this individual location which is listed below. Outcome
rates have also been provided for the individual school you are interested
in attending. If you have any questions regarding our outcome rates, please
see our Admissions Team for assistance.
On-time completion is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as anyone
who graduates within the normal completion time. When a student completes
their graduation requirements, including all theory and practical
assignments, and the required number of clock hours without missing any
time, that student is considered to have graduated on-time. If a student
misses any time for any reason, such as family responsibilities, day care
issues, and other life events, they are not considered an on-time graduate.
The school’s on-time graduation rate is listed on each course paged under
Gainful Employment. Please note that our graduation rates that are provided
in the school catalog are based on how many students started the program
and how many completed within the reporting period.
NACCAS Annual Report Outcome Rate Formula
NACCAS’ 2020 Annual Report is derived from a single cohort of students – those scheduled to graduate in 2020. NACCAS’ graduation, placement and licensure definitions are described below:
Graduation: Based on all students scheduled to graduate from the program in
2022. The scheduled graduation date is a student’s most recent contract end
date (i.e., the contract end date after all leaves of absence, schedule
changes and re-enrollments have been accounted for). A student may count as
a graduate if they have completed all applicable graduation requirements at
the institution.

date (i.e., the contract end date after all leaves of absence, schedule
changes and re-enrollments have been accounted for). A student may count as
a graduate if they have completed all applicable graduation requirements at
the institution.
o Licensure: Based on graduates from the graduation cohort who sat for all
parts of their required licensure exam prior to November 30, 2023. A
student in the licensure cohort may count as a “pass” if they pass all
required portions of the examination prior to November 30, 2023.
parts of their required licensure exam prior to November 30, 2023. A
student in the licensure cohort may count as a “pass” if they pass all
required portions of the examination prior to November 30, 2023.
o Placement: Based on graduates from the graduation cohort who are eligible for placement. A student may count as placed if they are employed in a field for which their training prepared them prior to November 30, 2023. Students may be excluded from the calculation if they fall into one of the categories listed. In 2020, the school excluded the following number of students* based on each of the following categories:
a. The graduate is deceased ____
b. The graduate is permanently disabled ___
c. The graduate is deployed for military service/duty___
d. The graduate studied under a student visa and is ineligible for employment in the U.S. ___
e. The graduate continued his/her education at an institution under the same ownership (e.g., a graduate of your cosmetology program subsequently enrolled in the instructor program of an institution under the same ownership)___
Total Excluded___
*If fewer than ten students were excluded for any one category, the disclosure will only include the total of all excluded students if that total is at least ten. If the calculation excluded fewer than a total of ten students the institution will state that it excluded students on the basis of each condition, and note that the number of total exclusions were fewer than 10 and therefore cannot be disclosed.

In order to pay for the cost of education, many of our students apply for student loans through the U.S. Department of Education or through private institutions. Student loans go into repayment after a student leaves school. The median loan debt refers to the amount of money the typical student owes once they have graduated from their program of study. Private Education Loan debt is loans obtained from a bank or credit union. Institutional financing is money owed directly to the school upon completion of the program.
