Transfer Hours

General Information
Action Summary This proposal will create specific rules for schools to accept transfer students. The proposal is based on the esthetics regulation governing student transfers, and would allow transfers between schools based on a competency exam and transcripts from the prior school. The number of hours awarded may not exceed the actual number of hours of instruction, or the number of hours specified for a topic in the Board approved curriculum. This proposal also removes the limit on hours that can be transferred in the esthetics regulations.
