In extraordinary circumstances, the school may allow a student to transfer in more hours from a non-Paul Mitchell School, if the student is enrolling from a school that has suddenly closed without notice. In these instances, the school will evaluate the prospective student and credit them with the number of hours related to their course knowledge.

The cost for transfer students is $15.00 per hour attended at Rudy & Kelly Academy, A Paul Mitchell Partner School; this does not include the cost of a complete and current Paul Mitchell student kit. Please note that students transferring to another school may not be able to transfer all the hours they earned at Rudy & Kelly Academy, A Paul Mitchell Partner School; the number of transferable hours depends on the policy of the receiving school. Transfer hours accepted by the school are applied to the total number of hours necessary to complete the program and are considered both attempted and completed hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum time frame has been exhausted.
