ENROLLMENT PROCESS

In order to enroll in any Make-Up Designory (MUD) course of study, students must first complete a Student Registration Form. This must be submitted with payment of the $100.00 registration fee, as well as proof of high school graduation (which includes a graduation date) or the equivalent, or proof of matriculation in an accredited Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral program. Transcripts supplied as documentation must be original, school-issued documents. Any student who is providing documentation in a language other than English must have their documentation translated and certified by an agency that has been approved by MUD. Please see an Admissions Advisor for a list of approved translation services and service centers. Students in all courses must be 18 or have parental consent and must also be able to furnish proof of high school graduation or a GED.

As a part of the enrollment process and before securing a seat in class, all potential students are required to complete an interview process. The interview process includes a formal conversation with an Admissions Advisor and extends into interaction with other departments via phone conversations, e-mail correspondence, and in-person meetings. During the formal conversation, our Admissions Advisors will gain pertinent information from the prospective student to determine educational and career goals. It also allows the prospective student to ask our Advisors questions about the school and discuss expectations. The rest of the interview process is based on interaction with the faculty and staff at MUD; this helps us to determine if the prospective student is a good fit for our school. Because we have a high level of expectations for our students and graduates, it is important that our student body is accurately reflected with a professional demeanor and good communication skills. If we determine that any part of the interview process has not met our expectations, we reserve the right to deny enrollment based fully or in part on our decisions from our interview process.

Student Registration Forms may be obtained at the Administrative Office or through an Admissions Advisor, at the back of this catalog, or may be completed online at www.mud.edu. MUD class size is limited, and availability is determined on a first-come, first-served basis. For this reason, students are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible.

In order to complete the enrollment process, students must confirm that they have secured their finances to attend school. MUD offers a number of methods by which tuition can be paid and our Financial Aid Department will assist each student in finding the method that best suits him or her. We ask that the first tuition payment is made two weeks prior to the start of classes. For those students who have secured their own funding, tuition for all courses require payment in full prior to the start of class; programs require at least 50% of tuition to be paid prior to the start of class and the remaining balance to be paid at the midpoint of the program. In addition, students must return all signed enrollment agreements and supporting documents.

MUD provides courses and training in English only. MUD courses and training are not available in additional languages.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICY

Make-Up Designory will allow a transfer of credit between the Los Angeles and New York campuses. Courses that have been successfully completed with a grade of C or better and taken on either campus may be applied towards programs at either campus. At a minimum, 25% of the credits required for the program’s completion must be taken at the school awarding the Diploma. Previously taken courses will be noted in the student’s file and the cost of the program will be prorated according to the number of hours being transferred.

The transferability of credits earned at Make-up Designory to another institution is at the complete discretion of the institution to which a student seeks to transfer. Acceptance of the Certificate earned in Beauty 101, Beauty 201, Beauty 301, Special Make-Up Effects 201, or Special Make-Up Effects 301, or the Diploma earned in Fashion Make-Up Artistry, Film and Television Make-Up Artistry, Multimedia Make-Up Artistry, or Master Make-Up Artistry is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which a student seeks to transfer. If the Certificate or Diploma earned at MUD is not accepted at the institution to which the student seeks to transfer, he or she may be required to repeat some or all of the course work at that institution. For this reason, the student should make certain that attendance at MUD will meet his or her educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which the student seeks to transfer after attending MUD to determine if the Certificate or Diploma will transfer.

MAKE-UP KITS AND MATERIALS

It is the student’s responsibility to purchase the required materials before the first day of class. Students are not required to purchase their supplies from the student store. The actual total cost of materials may vary, depending upon whether students have already purchased, or already own materials prior to registration. However, actual costs for materials will not exceed the approximations provided. Students using financial aid funds to pay for their supplies are issued a Student Materials Card one week prior to the start of class. Students may opt out of receiving a Student Materials Card by notifying their Financial Aid Advisor in writing. A detailed list of supplies needed for each class can be found at: supplies.mud.edu.
