TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICY
All programs
To determine the number of hours our school will 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.
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.

NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED AT OUR INSTITUTION
The transferability of credits you earn at Paul Mitchell The School East Bay is at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the certificate you earn in cosmetology, barbering, and/or esthetics is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the certificate that you earn at this institution is not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason, you should make certain that your attendance at Paul Mitchell The School East Bay will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending Paul Mitchell The School East Bay to determine if your certificate will transfer.
Paul Mitchell The School East Bay is a clock hour school, which means that in order to receive credit for each hour earned you must be in attendance engaged in an educational activity. If you decide to transfer to another cosmetology school, the likelihood is that some or most of your hours will be transferrable based on the transfer school’s published policy. 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. Paul Mitchell The School East Bay does not give clock hour credit for service in the armed forces, paid or unpaid employment, or other demonstrated competency or learning because of the nature of the program offered and state regulatory requirements.
NOTICE OF TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED FROM ANOTHER INSTITUTION
The transferability of credits or certificate you earn at another institution, is at the sole discretion of Paul Mitchell The School East Bay. You may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework, if Paul Mitchell The School East Bay does not accept some or all of your credits. This determination will be based on an evaluation of the student’s comprehension of the course material. The school does not allow a student to appeal the number of hours accepted when transferring from another location. After the student completes the evaluation, the student will meet with the Education Leader to determine the number of hours accepted and where the student will be placed in the program. At this time, it will also be determined if previous completed coursework needs to be repeated. For this reason, you should speak to Paul Mitchell The School East Bay’s admissions leader to determine if your credits or certificate will transfer. Transfer students are responsible to pay the hourly fee based on the number of hours needed to complete the program of study, which is noted under the Transfer Student section of this catalog.
