  1. Complete an Application for Admission: Complete and submit the application for admission. The application for admission may be obtained from an admissions advisor.
  2. Pay the Application Fee: Action will not be taken on admission or any student loan application until a registration fee of $100.00 is received. Please submit the fee, payable to Paul Mitchell The School Roanoke, in the form of cash, check, money order, or credit card. This is a refundable fee and is not included in the cost of tuition. The school may opt to waive the application fee for students who transfer from a school that has closed without notice.
  3. Interview: All applicants must complete an interview with an admission’s advisor.
  4. Provide Proof of Identity: Applicants are required to provide proof of identification as part of the application of admission process. The school will maintain a copy of the identification presented as part of the student’s admission file.

    Acceptable forms of photo identification include:
    • Government-issued driver’s license
    • Government-issued non-driver ID card
    • Government-issued passport
    • Government-issued military or national identification card (consular, permanent resident card, immigrant visa card, employment authorization card)
    • Tribal photo ID (no photocopies accepted)

      Photo IDs must contain:
    • Applicant student’s full name
    • Match the name used in the application
    • Contain a photograph of the applicant
    • Be an original document
    • Be current and valid (expired documents are not acceptable)
       
  5. High School or Equivalent Verification Documents: Applicants must demonstrate that they meet the High School requirements. The school considers a high school diploma, high school transcripts, GED certificate, GED transcript or high school equivalency certificate valid if granted by a high school or agency/program accredited or recognized by a state department of education (e.g. The State of Virginia Department of Education).

    A student’s self-certification is not sufficient to validate a high school diploma or high school equivalency certificate or that they have completed secondary school through homeschooling as defined by state law.

    If we determine that your diploma or high school equivalency diploma is not valid you will be denied admission to the school.

    Students who are homeschooled must be able to demonstrate and document that they meet their states high school graduation requirements. Secondary school education at a homeschool is valid if their secondary school education was in a homeschool that state law treats as a home or private school (see https://hslda.org/legal for requirements for each state). Applicants who completed homeschooling must submit their high school transcripts for review and evaluation.

    Applicants who received their high school diploma in another country are required to submit their high school transcripts to a foreign credentialing evaluation service.

    Please note the document must be translated into English by a certified translator and accompanied by an evaluation of a credentialed evaluation service certifying it is equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma. We can accept credentials translated and evaluated by any agency under NACES. A list of approved agencies is located at NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services ) under: https://www.naces.org/ members. We must receive a credential report directly from the evaluation services. Copies will not be accepted. Applicants are responsible for paying the costs of the translation and evaluation.

    Applicants who have successfully completed at least a two-year college-level program that did not result in the awarding of an associate degree must submit college transcripts demonstrating successful completion of at least 60 semester or trimester credits hours or 72 quarter credit hours that is acceptable for full credit towards a bachelor’s degree at an institution.

    Applicants who have successfully completed an associate degree or bachelor’s degree may show completion of the degree by providing the degree or transcripts.

    Note that merely possessing a certificate of attendance and/or high school completion is not sufficient for a student to be Title IV aid eligible.

    Paul Mitchell The School Roanoke does not recruit students who are already enrolled in a similar program at another institution.

    Admitted students who would like to request a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act should contact the ADA Compliance Coordinator.

    Paul Mitchell The School Roanoke accepts re-entry students if they qualify. Please review the re-entry policy for specific requirements.

    Once an applicant has completed the process to apply to the school, the admissions team and director reviews each applicant and their required application materials to determine if the applicant will be admitted.

    The applicant will be notified of the decision in writing.

    If the applicant is admitted, they will be notified of the next steps to enroll in their academic program.

    If an applicant is not admitted and wishes to appeal the decision, they must write a letter/email to the School Director. Once the Director has evaluated the reasons for denial, the Director may either redo the personal interview for a second opinion or provide a response to the student. Appeals will not be considered if an applicant is not admitted because they do not meet the minimum education requirements to be admitted or if they have provided false information during the admission process.

    Anyone who applies for admission into the school that has been convicted of a Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5 or Class 6 felony must notify the school in writing and provide a copy of the court order. We are required to notify you that the state of Virginia regulations may deny licensure to someone who has been convicted of such a felony, and as such may not be able to practice in the state. The state will not issue a ruling on whether they will license an individual convicted of a Class 1 thru Class 6 felony until the student has graduated from the program and applied to become licensed by the state.
