The cost of the clock hours needed to complete the program will be pro-rated depending on the program. No more than 50% of the total program clock hours will be transferred from other institution. The clock hours completed from another institution as from our own institution will be validated if said courses fall within the mandatory Florida Department of Education guidelines for that specific course. There must be a signed letter from the director and/or head of admissions from the other institution indicating the students accumulated credits and/or clock hours along with a transcript.

The acceptance of the transfer of clock hours is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
• Transfer Courses (under SAP Policy): Transfer Courses will be represented with the abbreviation (TRA), which will be officially used in all documents as needed. Students will receive acknowledgement of “TRA” for courses taken at another institution that are being transferred for required courses at Latin Beauty Academy. The designation of “TRA” has no effect on the student’s cumulative GPA and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). However, acknowledgement of “TRA” is added to hours attempted within the specified minimum time frame. The institution will review corresponding clock hours for any student who wishes to transfer clock hours from another institution.

SAP evaluation periods are based on actual contracted hours at the institution.
