Student Loan Code of Conduct

Preparing People Barber Styling College understands that ensuring the integrity of the student financial aid process is essential to providing students fair and affordable access to higher education. The Code of Conduct prohibits activities which may create conflicts of interest in the student financial aid process between the institution and its students. This Code is in accordance with the requirements of the federal Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 ("HEOA") and incorporates all terms set forth in the HEOA.
Accordingly, Preparing People Barber Styling College shall take reasonable steps to comply at minimum with the following principles in day-to-day financial aid operations:

• The institution’s officers, and employees may not receive directly or indirectly, points, premiums, payments, stock or other securities, prizes, travel, entertainment expenses, tuition payment or reimbursement, the provision of information technology equipment at below market value, additional financial aid funds or any other inducement from a guaranty agency or eligible lender in payment for securing applicants for FFEL loans.
• The institution or its employees may not provide names and addresses and/or e-mail addresses of students or prospective students or parents to eligible lenders or guaranty agencies for the purpose of conducting unsolicited mailings, by either postal or electronic means, of FFEL student loan applications.
• The institution will not allow any employee of the guaranty agency or eligible lender to perform any school-required function for a school participating in the FFEL Program, except exit counseling. The institution will not permit guaranty agencies to conduct fraudulent or misleading advertising concerning loan availability, terms or conditions.
