§ 3.90. Student curriculum.
(a) Each school shall post schedules showing the schedules of classes in theory and practical work. Each student shall have an opportunity to devote at least 60% of class time 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 earn credit for the number of hours per day that the student is in attendance.
(c) A student may earn a maximum of 8 hours of credit per day and a maximum of 40 hours of credit per week.
(d) 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 must 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.
(e) Every barber school is required to instruct students in barber science as follows:
Subject Approximate Hours Honing and stropping 25 Shaving and various uses of the straight razor 240 Haircutting, hairstyling and hairpieces 535 Shampoo and scalp massages 25 Haircoloring 25 Massaging (facials) 25 Hairwaving or curling (perms), straightening 25 Scalp and skin disease 50 State barber law and rules and regulations 50 Physiology 50 Sterilization and sanitation 50 Hygiene 25 Bacteriology 25 Electricity (ultraviolet, high frequency, infrared, curling irons) 25 Professional ethics and barbershop demeanor 25 Manager-barber instruction, instruments, shop management, orientation and preparation for related examination 50 Total minimum hours required 1,250 (f) A student who has commenced training under the previous curriculum before January 25, 1992, is not affected by subsection (c).
(g) 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.
(h) 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.
(i) A student may request a transfer of credits for hours or months of study between a barbershop and a barber school or between shops, whether the barbershop or barber school is in-State or out-of State, 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 the student in the appropriate courses.
(j) The Board reserves the right to reject an examination application of a student whose credits have been improperly given or evaluated.
