Pure Aesthetics Natural Skincare School may accept clock hours from students who began training elsewhere. Students who wish to transfer their hours from another school to Pure Aesthetics Natural Skincare School must meet the following criteria:

• Only aesthetics coursework will be accepted.

• Students must have received a grade of no less than 80%.

Instructor & Instructor IDL programs: Arizona Administrative Code (AAC) allows a student in an Instructor course to satisfy, in part, curriculum hours required by completing a course at an accredited college or university or an educational institution described under R4-10 101(15)(c) and (d) of the AAC.  No more than nine credit hours or 270 clock hours may be accepted. 

Licensed professionals must possess an Arizona license that is active and in good standing. The acceptance of transfer hours is at the discretion of the school. Students using Veterans Administration educational benefits must abide by the policies set forth by the Veterans Administration.

In addition to the standard admission requirements, a transfer student must obtain a Transfer Hours Form when completing the admission application. Along with the Transfer Hours Form, the student must submit an official transcript, catalog and course syllabi or outlines from the transferring institution. Once Pure Aesthetics determines whether the hours completed elsewhere are eligible for transfer, the transferring student must schedule an Infection Control Exam, administered by Pure Aesthetics Natural Skincare School, and pay the $50.00 testing fee. The Infection Control test fee may be waived for licensed aestheticians or cosmetologists. The transferring student must pass with at least 85%. The entire transfer process must be completed, and the final number of transfer hours must be approved before an enrollment contract may be drawn up and signed.

​

Approved transfer hours are assessed at a fee of $3.00 per clock hour. The transfer fee is waived for students transferring at least 540 clock hours. Tuition for transferring students is calculated based on the total number of hours needed to fulfill the program requirements. A reduction in the number of hours a student is contracted to complete may reduce the amount of financial aid awarded.

If a transfer hours request is denied, a student has the right to appeal the decision within five (5) business days. The appeal must be made in writing and outline the reasons the student believes the transfer hours should be considered. The student may provide additional documentation to support the appeal. Once the appeal has been received, Pure Aesthetics Natural Skincare School will issue its decision within ten business days. Decisions are made by the Director and issued in writing. All appeals decisions are final.

Students who wish to transfer hours earned at Pure Aesthetics Natural Skincare School to another institution must complete and submit a Transcript Request Form. Transcripts will be mailed to the designated institution within 14 business days of receipt of the request. There is a $10 fee for production of official transcripts. Pure Aesthetics Natural Skincare School cannot guarantee that another institution will accept transfer hours from our school, as each school determines its own criteria for accepting transfer hours. Official transcript requests will not be granted until all financial obligations to Pure Aesthetics have been satisfied.
