Cosmetology Certificate-Dual Credit High School Program Completion Plan
PROGRAM INFORMATION: The 1,000 hour, four-semester curriculum plus 500 high school academic hours leads to a Certificate of Completion and helps prepare graduates to take the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Cosmetology Examination. All 1,000 hours must be completed before high school graduation to earn the additional 500 hours for academics. Successful completion of the examination will allow graduates to practice as a licensed Cosmetologist in Texas.
Notice to Students Regarding Licensing - Cosmetology
Effective September 1, 2017, House Bill (HB) 1508 amends the Texas Occupations Code Section 53 that requires education providers to notify you, a potential or enrolled student, that a criminal history may make you ineligible for an occupational license upon program completion. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website provides links to information about the licensing process and requirements.
Should you wish to request a review of the impact of criminal history on your potential Cosmetology License prior to or during your quest for a degree, you can visit the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website and request a Criminal History Evaluation Letter.
This information is being provided to all persons who apply or enroll in the program with notice of the requirements as described above, regardless of whether or not the person has been convicted of a criminal offense. Additionally, HB 1508 authorizes licensing agencies to require reimbursements when a student fails to receive the required notice.
