5 Steps You Should Take When Transferring Beauty Schools

Sometimes your dream beauty school doesn檛 always turn out to be the one of your dreams. You may find yourself needing to transfer because it isn檛 the right fit for you or because of circumstances outside of your control. If you檙e looking to transfer to a different beauty school, here are five steps you can take to make the transfer process easier!

One: Explore Schools

Transferring to a different beauty school can feel like a fresh start, and sometimes youl have to go back to the basics: looking for the right place for you. If you檙e currently enrolled in a cosmetology program, make sure the one you檙e thinking about transferring to offers a cosmetology program. If you檙e in esthetics, make sure there檚 an esthetics program. That檚 often the first thing to do!

When looking for a new place, contact the admissions department. Theyl let you know:

• How to apply
• How to transfer hours
• What documents you need from your previous school
• Financial aid and scholarship opportunities
• When the next classes start

Much like your first beauty education endeavor, you should schedule a tour to get to know the place you want to transfer to. See how the culture and facilities are different, and take the time you need to decide if it檚 the right fit for you.

Two: Apply

Once you檝e picked the new program of your choice, it檚 time to start the application process. Youl want to work closely with the school to see what parts of the application process youl need to do and anything you should know as a transfer student.

Three: Get Everything You Need From Your Current School

Transferring isn檛 a matter of just choosing a different place and applying. Contact your current school to get the documentation your new choice needs to make the transfer easy. Youl often need:

• Your transcript and hours they檝e reported to the state board
• A list of any outstanding payment balances
• A release from your previous school

This step is an absolute must! A transcript can help you get the most out of the work you檝e already put in. It makes it easier to verify how many hours you檝e already completed and how many you have left. However, just because you have the hours doesn檛 mean all hours will directly transfer.

At Inspire Greatness Aveda we cannot guarantee that any or all of your previously completed hours will transfer. However, we do look at each transfer on an individual basis to determine how many hours we can accept from your previous school. We檙e happy to work with you!

You should also expect to pay any outstanding balances with your current school before you can enroll somewhere else. If you are transferring because the institution you are currently enrolled in is closing, they may prorate the amount you owe based on how many hours you檝e already completed.

Four: Re-Apply for Financial Aid

Your federal financial aid doesn檛 automatically transfer when you move to a different place. Youl need to log into your account and add the appropriate school檚 code to transfer your application to your new choice.

Inspire Greatness Aveda has financial aid available to those who qualify. If you檙e transferring to one of our locations, youl need to add the school code of the one you檙e planning on transferring to on your application. Our codes are:

• Aveda Institute Denver: 041671
• Aveda Institute Phoenix: E40394
• Aveda Institute Provo: 040723
• Aveda Institute Tucson: 041945

From there, your original financial aid should transfer, but you should work with the financial department at your new school to see if there are other steps you need to take.

Five: Believe in Yourself

It can be daunting to switch from one program to another, but you can do it! We檙e here to help you every step of the way. Here are some other things to keep in mind when you檙e thinking about transferring beauty school.

• Keep in touch! Just because you檙e transferring doesn檛 mean you don檛 have to stop talking to the friends you檝e made at your current school.
• Make new friends. New school, new opportunities to find people with the same interests as you. You can get to know some great new students.
• Work closely with your advisors. We want to see you succeed in your future. If you have any questions about what you need to pursue an education in beauty, don檛 hesitate to ask!
