Transfer of Credit Policies
Incoming students who have hours that they are transferring to our program are required to provide, prior to enrollment, an official transcript from their previous school. The maximum number of hours the Oehrlein School of Cosmetology accepts is 375 hours. Grades for theory requirements will be applied if the student is transferring from a Pivot Point Member/Partner School or Pivot Point Academy. Students who wish to transfer out of our program will receive an official transcript after all monetary obligations are met, withdrawal paperwork is complete and exit counseling requirements are met.
Discrimination is against the law. The Oehrlein School of Cosmetology does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, age, color, ethnic origin, religion or gender identification in our admittance, instruction, graduation policies, or any other activities that occur at the School.

Title IX Grievance Policy
If you believe you have experienced or witnessed harassment or sexual violence, notify your instructor, supervisor, or preferably the Title IX Coordinator as soon as possible after the incident. Do not allow an inappropriate situation to continue by not reporting it, regardless of who is creating the situation. Also, it is important to preserve any evidence that may assist in proving that an alleged criminal offense occurred or that may be helpful in obtaining a protection order. No employee, contract worker, student, vendor, or other person who does business with the Oehrlein School of Cosmetology is exempt from the prohibitions in this policy. To facilitate the investigation, your complaint should include details of the incident or incidents, names of individuals involved, and names of any witnesses.
Following an alleged offense, victims will be provided with written information on their rights and options for, and available in, changing academic and working situations. The School will make these accommodations if the victim requests them and if they are reasonably available, regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to local law enforcement. Students have the right to request reasonable academic accommodation through the Managing Director. Accommodation requests will be handled via the Title IX Coordinator.
State Authorization Disclosure
Cosmetology and Cosmetology Teacher licensing laws and requirements vary by state, as do reciprocity (a type of transfer means that another state will allow you to work under the license of your current state) and transfer (when a state other than your home state of licensure allows you to perform cosmetology services legally) regulations, renewal schedules, fees and continuing education requirements. State Authorization is a formal determination by a higher education agency (commonly a higher education board or commission) that allows an institution to conduct certain activities within its borders. The Cosmetology Program and the Cosmetology Teacher Program offered at the Oehrlein School of Cosmetology has Illinois State Authorization. If you plan to work in a State other than Illinois, you may have to meet additional requirements to be licensed in other states. If you plan to transfer your Illinois Cosmetology License to another state, we recommend you contact the licensing agency in that state.
