Admissions
Admissions/Enrollment Policy
All applicants complete two interviews before they can be admitted to a program at GIC. The first interview is informational and is used to determine if an applicant has sufficient interest in pursuing a Master Cosmetology, Nail Technician, or Esthetician’s course of study, as well as to share general information and publications about things such as the Institute’s registration procedures, course outlines, fees and expenses, and which documents, such as tax forms, to bring to the second interview. The second interview is used to determine whether a student is truly eligible for enrollment, to fill out financial aid paperwork, to explain the school’s policies and procedures in greater detail, and to outline an individualized course of study.
GIC complies with all Georgia State Board of Cosmetology requirements. Therefore, enrolled students must either be at least 17 years of age with written consent of a legal parent and/or guardian or 18 years of age and able to demonstrate proof of having completed high school diploma or GED. GIC no longer accepts ATB test.
Applicants must complete all enrollment documents one week prior to their start date and pay the $100 enrollment fee. It is the Institute's up-most goal to be able to assist each applicant who desires to succeed in the field of cosmetology with the knowledge and skills to be a credit to the profession. In doing so, GIC strives for the highest standards of education, requiring that all students of the Institute maintain a "C" or above average and acceptable attendance throughout their training.
