Students who wish to transfer hours from another school, either in Ohio, or from another state must first withdraw from their current school, pay any financial obligations and have their official record of hours sent to the Ohio Cosmetology and Barber Board.
​
Students have five years from their original enrollment date to complete their program requirements or all hours for that program will expire.
Enrollment for Transfer Students
If a student decides not to transfer hours from another school and starts a program over, they are considered a new student and follow the new student enrollment procedure. Students who contract for the full program hours may not transfer previously earned hours at a later time.
Students who hold an active Manicurist, Esthetics, Natural Hair Stylist, and/or Barber license may receive credit towards the Cosmetology program.
