Four practical, no-fluff guides for the people who run California beauty schools - built around the regulations you actually answer to: BPPE, the Board of Barbering & Cosmetology, NACCAS, and Title IV.
Each guide is print-ready - open it and save as PDF. Free, no sign-up. Prepared by Bella AI, the AI-first Student Information System for beauty, barber, cosmetology, esthetics, and nail schools.
A 30-item checklist grouped by approval, Annual Report & SPFS, records, enrollment, STRF, and advertising - plus a 30-day playbook for responding to a BPPE citation.
Why clock-hour accuracy drives licensure, Title IV disbursement, and audit exposure - with a pre-audit self-check, common mistakes, a reconciliation worksheet, and what auditors ask for.
The required elements of a CA-compliant enrollment agreement, a plain-English pro-rata refund explainer with worked math, and a blank refund-calculation worksheet.
The Institutional Self-Study checklist, the completion/licensure/placement rate calculations, common findings, and a 10-step roadmap to accreditation and Title IV.
NACCAS rates, BPPE Annual Report & SPFS data, clock-hour reconciliation, enrollment, and refunds - automated in one AI-first SIS that replaces FAME, Smart, and spreadsheets.
