TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICY
All programs
To determine the number of hours our school may accept is based on the following:
- The number of hours completed during the student’s previous training.
- GPA from previous training.
- Attendance percentage during previous training.
- The amount of time that has passed since they last attended school.
- We will give them a written exam which they must pass with a 70% score or higher. If the applicant does not pass, they will not be credited any transfer hours. Should they fail, they are able to retake the exam once more after 60 days.
These same criteria may be used for re-entry students.
Out of state transfer students must submit their hours to the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and receive a California Proof of Training document. This document will be used in conjunction with the above criteria to determine the number of hours that will be accepted as transfer hours.

However, if you transfer to a credit hour school, such as a community college, or traditional college or university, for a degree granting program, the likelihood is that most, if not all hours earned will not be transferrable because of the subject matter taught and the type of degree granting program you are enrolling in.
