Credit For Previous Training/Transfer Policy

Elaine Steven Beauty College will allow students to transfer into our institution on a case-by-case basis. The State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners of Missouri recognizes hours from previous training.  Hours recognized by the Missouri State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners will be accepted at Elaine Steven Beauty College without any loss of those hours. The school will contact the Board to determine the amount of previous training hours still in effect. Out of state students must get their hours approved by the Missouri State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners before being admitted. Tuition will be charged on a pro-rata basis. (See Tuition insert). Elaine Steven Beauty College®will not accept transfer students from another school with 1000 or more transfer hours unless the student takes and receives a 67% or higher on an entrance exam administered by the school.  Contact the admissions office for more information.  Transfer students, once accepted, will be placed in the class level based upon the number of transfer hours the student is enrolling with. Transfer students will not be responsible for course work that comes before the level of class in which the transfer student is placed.
