Can I send my Cosmetology scores to multiple schools?
Yes, you can send your Cosmetology scores to multiple schools. Here's a detailed explanation of how the process works:
​
When considering sending your cosmetology scores to another school, it's essential to understand the process and requirements involved. Typically, you can request score transfers directly from the examination provider to the receiving school. This often entails submitting a formal request form or contacting the examination provider's customer service department to initiate the transfer process. However, it's crucial to review the policies and procedures of both the examination provider and the receiving school to ensure a smooth transfer. Some schools may have specific requirements or preferred methods for receiving score reports, so it's advisable to inquire about any such guidelines beforehand. Additionally, it's important to consider any associated fees or costs for sending scores, as these may vary depending on the examination provider and the method of transfer. By understanding the steps involved and adhering to any requirements or instructions provided by both the examination provider and the receiving school, you can facilitate the seamless transfer of your cosmetology scores and support your educational endeavors in the field of cosmetology.
​
Electronic Delivery
​
Most schools now accept electronic delivery of Cosmetology scores, which speeds up the process. Once you've requested and paid for an additional transcript to be sent, the school should receive it relatively quickly, often within 48 hours.
However, always check with individual institutions to understand their preferences and the expected time frame for receipt.
​
​
Keep Records
​
Always keep a record of your Cosmetology scores and any transcript requests. It's an excellent practice to screenshot or print confirmation pages for your records. If there's any issue, you have documentation of your request.
​
Plan Ahead
​
If you know you'll be applying to multiple schools, plan ahead for the associated fees and the time it might take for each school to process your scores.
Make sure to send scores well in advance of application deadlines.
​
Follow Up
​
After sending your scores, it's a good idea to follow up with the institutions to ensure they received them. This can typically be done by contacting the admissions or registration's office.
Sending your Cosmetology scores to multiple schools is straightforward, but attention to detail is crucial to ensure that all institutions receive your scores promptly.
