Transfer Credit Practice
The acceptance and use of transfer credit is subjected to limitation in accordance with the education policies of ISB and the State of Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences and Iowa Board of Massage Therapy curriculum requirements.
ISB may accept up to 100% of hours from another institution if by testing (practical & theory) it is determined that the student is prepared to meet our standards and graduation requirements. The student must submit proof of previous education prior to enrollment. Transcripts of prior Education must show the transfer applicant is meeting minimum satisfactory academic progress standards of ISB for the student to be considered for entrance. These minimum standards consist of at least 67% attendance and 75% academic average. ISB will NOT make adjustments to recognize a student’s prior training, once the student has started classes. ISB does not charge for transfer/transcript services.
Charges: The tuition charge for a transfer student is prorated on the basis of the prevailing tuition costs; for each hour of remaining required hours to complete the program plus cost of equipment, books, fees, and any other material to complete the course of study.
