Procedures: Prospective students must complete the required prerequisite COSM 100 class, with a passing grade of a "C" or better. During this course, students will designate a preference and priority for either Cosmetology or Barbering programs. These students will be randomized and added to the current list of students waiting for acceptance into their program of choice. Once students are notified about their acceptance into the program, they will need to complete the following to successfully enter the program; use permission numbers provided by program to successfully enroll, deposit 100% of required funds for mandatory kits by date indicated on acceptance email for both tasks. Students failing to do this by date indicated on acceptance email, will have their program acceptance revoked, and these students will be placed back on top of priority enrollment list for possible acceptance in the next cohort.
