Transfer of Credit and Cosmetology Hours

Transfer of Credit Between Institutions of Higher Education into Module Based Programs

Employment Solutions, Inc./College for Technical Education makes no promises that credit earned with the college will be transferrable to other institutions of higher education.  Transferability of credit is at the sole discretion of the receiving institution.

Students wishing to have previous formal training evaluated for transferability of credit into a module-based program with the College for Technical Education must provide the following:

  • An official copy of the transcript sent directly from the previous institution to the College for Technical Education.
  • Official descriptions from the previous institution, of the courses to be transferred.

To be transferable, a course must meet the objectives and the minimum credits of a course offered at CTE.   In some cases, more than one course may be needed to make up the objectives and credits of one CTE course.  Courses taken at another institution must have earned a grade of “C” or better to be considered transferable. 

Transferred coursework must be submitted and evaluated prior to the start of the program. There is no guarantee courses will transfer. 

The decision as to the transferability of a credit from another institution is at the sole discretion of the CTE Registrar upon consideration and review by the course instructor of the program that student is entering.
