Steps to Enroll & Program Information
Admissions Process
Step 1: To begin your journey, follow the steps of the Career & College Promise admissions process for high school students.
Step 2: Registration for Cosmetology students work a little differently than for students in other programs. Your recruiting & enrollment advisor and program chair will help guide you. Applicants will be notified of program acceptance and registration.
Step 3: Complete your application through the Cosmetology Applicant Tracking (C.A.T.) system. Allow a minimum of two-weeks for your submission to be processed.
Step 4: Review the Cosmetology Programs Booklet.
Step 5: Check your student and personal emails often for important communication.
Books & Supplies
When you are registered for the course, you will see fees and will have the option to set up a payment plan with the College. These fees include tuition, books and supplies. Your books and supplies will be delivered to you by your instructor on the first day of class. This gives your instructor the opportunity to check your supplies to make sure the kits are complete, as these are non-refundable once opened.
Note: To see a full cost summary, visit the infographic associated with your program. All costs are subject to change. Additional supplies and kit purchases will be required in subsequent semesters.
