Attendance Requirement
Re-entry students who had less than 100% attendance at the time they withdrew have 60 calendar days after re-entry to bring their attendance up to institutional requirements. This applies regardless of which timeframe above the student falls into.

Students who re-enter the program are placed in the same Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standing they held when they left the school.
Decision & Notification
The decision to permit re-entry is at the sole discretion of Paul Mitchell The School Columbia, Paul Mitchell The School Charleston, and/or Paul Mitchell The School Greenville. All students will be notified in writing of the outcome of their re-entry request.
Military Service Members
Members of the U.S. Armed Forces — including reserve components of the National Guard — will be readmitted to their former program if they notify the admission team that their withdrawal was due to military service. Paul Mitchell The School Columbia, Paul Mitchell The School Charleston, and/or Paul Mitchell The School Greenville will make every reasonable effort to accommodate service members requesting an absence for this reason. The $100.00 re-entry fee is waived for these students.
