§ 3.90. Student curriculum.

 (a)  Each school shall post schedules showing the schedules of classes in theory and practical work. The daily schedule shall be at least 7 but not more than 8 hours for each day the school is in session. Each student shall have an opportunity to devote at least 5 hours per day to practical work. For each of these class periods the teacher in charge shall keep an accurate daily record of attendance and progress of each student.

 (b)  A student may not be given credit for hours attended unless the student is in actual attendance. Hours credited to a student should be devoted to the studying of barbering. Duty work may not exceed more than 10 minutes of the student instruction time. Duty work shall consist only of the tidying and cleaning naturally performed by an operator around the operator’s own chair at the conclusion of the barber process. It may not include menial work ordinarily performed by a maid or janitor.

 (c)  Every barber school is required to instruct students in barber science as follows:

 (d)  A student who has commenced training under the previous curriculum before January 25, 1992, is not affected by subsection (c).

 (e)  A student may not receive credit for time spent in the barber school until registration or renewal licenses for the schools have been obtained from the Board.

 (f)  Whenever a student at the time of enrolling is entitled to credits previously earned at an out-of-State or in-State school, the school enrolling the student shall carefully evaluate the credits. A mere statement that the applicant for certification of entrance credits has pursued work elsewhere will not be accepted as sufficient evidence. The statement shall be documentary evidence showing attendance at a given school, and if possible, the number of hours attended and the subjects pursued.

 (g)  A student may request a transfer of credits for hours or months of study between a barbershop and abarber school if the student passes a test which is based on the number of hours attended and the subjects pursued and is devised by the shop or the school to place him in the appropriate courses.

 (h)  The Board reserves the right to reject an examination application of a student whose credits have been improperly given or evaluated.
