Once a student has earned the cosmetologist certification, documentation must be provided to the Registration Office before credits will be applied to the BC3 transcript. The student may be prepared to acquire the cosmetology certification before the fourth semester. Students will receive the cosmetology certification off campus; the academic courses will be offered by the College.
