Transfer Students
Reuben-Allen College (RAC) does not recruit students already attending or admitted to another school offering a similar program of study. However, RAC will accept transfers only from public high school cosmetology programs. Transfer students must be in good standing with the previous school in the following areas: discipline, attendance and grades. RAC will not accept students who have been suspended, dismissed, or who have had attendance problems at a previous school. Former schools will be contacted to confirm all records. Cosmetology students interested in transferring to RAC should contact the school’s office for an appointment.
Students in cosmetology seeking to transfer 750 hours or more must take a practical and written exam relative to the number of hours already attained. The students must pass the exam with a grade of at least 80% in order to have all transfer hours accepted by RAC. If the student does not pass the exam, she/he is required to enroll at RAC for a minimum of 750 hours. Saturday absences and probationary periods for transfer students are based on the number of hours the students is enrolled at RAC.
