TRANSFER STUDENTS – CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS TRAINING
Students transferring or re-registering with Cadillac Institute of Cosmetology into any course of study must enroll for a minimum of 600 hours with the exception of those students who are transitioning from being enrolled as a not regularly enrolled student to a regularly enrolled student. Those students are required to provide to the Admissions Department their records from any previous college(s) that verify the accumulated number of clock-hours earned as well as their academic transcript with subjects and grades. Students who choose to test for previous clock-hours earned will be required to pay a testing fee of $50.00 . This testing fee is due prior to the student testing for hours.
Students will have one week (5 business days) to finalize their testing. Students who fail to complete any of the required tests within the time frame will be given a grade of 0. Tests that the student does not receive a grade of 75% or better will result in a deduction of 25 clock-hours from the total accumulated clock-hours requested by the student to transfer/re-register. Clock-hours will not be deducted for tests that the student earns a grade of 75% or better and the grade received in each subject will reflect on their academic transcript as a completed requirement of their program.
The practical portion of the transfer/re-register test will be taken from the PSI Candidate Bulletin practical exam for their chosen program. Students will be credited with a percentage of MPAs completed based on the number of clock-hours transferred versus the total number of hours in their chosen program.
Pending the test results, the student will be placed in the appropriate class. Tuition will be prorated based on the current rate of tuition. Students are required to have the appropriate equipment kit, textbook and/or workbook for their program and pay the $95.00 Registration Fee.
