What must a cosmetology school maintain for each student?

A cosmetology school is required to maintain comprehensive records of hours and training completed for each student. This is crucial for several reasons. First, it ensures that students meet the required number of training hours mandated by state law, which is necessary for licensure upon graduation. Accurate tracking of training hours also helps the school demonstrate compliance with educational standards and regulations set forth by the state cosmetology board.

Additionally, maintaining these records allows the school to provide appropriate documentation for students seeking to obtain their cosmetology licenses, as proof of completed hours and hands-on training is often required during the licensing process. This not only protects the school but also supports students in their professional journeys as they transition into the workforce.

While options like financial records, client satisfaction surveys, and personal contact information may be valuable for administrative purposes, they do not directly impact the regulatory compliance and eligibility for licensure of students in the same way that maintaining accurate records of hours and training does.
