Are you a school looking to become accredited, or an accredited school looking for a specific form or policy?

NACCAS is always on the lookout for good schools. Accreditation does not only make your school eligible to offer Title IV financial assistance to your students, but also considerable raises the level of quality, as well as the perception of quality, of your school. Read About NACCAS to find out what we're about. Policy & Procedures and Applications & Forms will steer you towards all of the information you'll need to submit an application. Need to attend a workshop? Look under Upcoming Events for the next available workshop, as well as other interesting cosmetology-related events.

Is a policy not clear? Do you have a question but don't want to waste money on a long distance call? See if it's in FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions. Most importantly, for prospective and accredited schools, you'll want to see if your school will pass the U.S. Department of Education's financial test. Don't mess with confusing forms, just plug the numbers into our USDE Financial Calculator, a NACCAS website original! Accredited schools, are you tired of lining up you Annual Report on your typewriter? Use our Annual Report online edition and throw that typewriter away. And don't forget our Model Training Agreements, developed by NACCAS for schools and salons to contract for training.
