Transfer / Re-Entry to Schilling-Douglas School

Students wishing to transfer into Schilling-Douglas School must present, prior to enrollment, official documentation of their previous hours and availability for transfer. The school will, prior to enrollment, administer a written and practical exam to the transferee to determine hour acceptance and placement within our program.

All applicants transferring hours must do so prior to enrollment. Transfer hours will not be accepted once the applicant is enrolled in their program of study.

Students re-entering Schilling-Douglas School return at the same satisfactory progress standing as when they left. Full hour credit is usually given unless an excessive period of time has lapsed from the students last day of attendance. In the event that an excessive period of time has lapsed the re-entering student will be administered, by the school, a written and practical exam to determine acceptance of hours and placement in our program. This exam will take place prior to the re-entering students' enrollment.

Applicants, who are currently licensed by the Delaware Board of Cosmetology and Barbering as a nail technician, may transfer 89 hours into the cosmetology program. This transfer does not require the completion of a written and practical exam by the school, prior to enrollment. Documentation of a current Delaware Nail Technician license must be provided to the school prior to enrollment.

Tuition for transfer and re-entry students is prorated based on the current hourly rate for their program of study. Current hourly rate is determined by dividing the current tuition amount for the full program by the number of clock hours for the full program. The transfer or re-entry student may also be charged the current enrollment fee for their program as well as charges for materials (material kit, textbooks, and uniforms) required for their program of study.

Transfer to Schilling-Douglas Schools is only available for our Cosmetology program. If a student with previous training wishes to enroll and it is decided that credit will not be given for previous training, the student will sign a waiver for credit from previous training. If a student wishes to enroll and it is determined that credit for all or a portion of their previous training will be accepted the student will sign a transfer hour credit form acknowledging the number of hours accepted for transfer by the school.
