Transfrering Colleges from NC to CA?

Question

Ok so Im moving to CA with my family. I already know that if I finished Cosmotology here my license would be invalid in the state of Cali. So if I went spring semester and had my 300hrs, could I transfer to a college in Cali and have my hours count?? I dont see the point in staying in school now if my hours would not count. Please help.

From the CA regulations:

910. Out-of-State Applicants

(a) An applicant who desires to establish eligibility for examination for a license in this state upon the basis of practice, study or training outside this state, or supplementary training in a licensed school in this state, or any combination thereof, shall furnish proof of his or her qualifications to the board as follows:

(1) An applicant who desires credit for practices in another state or country shall file with the board, on the form prescribed by it (Form #03E-145, Affidavit of Experience-Form C, Rev 1/91), an affidavit from a disinterested person verifying such practice, together with an authenticated statement from the licensing agency in the state or country where such practice took place showing that the applicant was licensed to engage in such practice, if a license was required therefor.

(2) An applicant who has completed any number of hours of study and training in a school in another state or country, and who desires credit for such hours toward study and training in this state, shall file with the board, on the form prescribed by it (Form #03B-144, Out-of-State Beauty School Training Record-Form B, Rev 8/94), an authenticated statement from the school or the training took place showing the number of hours of study and training completed in each subject and when such study and training occurred.

(3) An applicant who desires credit for supplementary training completed in a licensed school in this State shall file with the board an authenticated statement from such school showing the number of hours of such training successfully completed in each subject.

Looks like subsections 2 and 3 would be relevant to you. Might want to contact CA's licensing board for clarification. http://www.barbercosmo.ca.gov/index.html
