These programs require that students upload specific ID documents through a secure portal maintained by the North Carolina State Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners. These documents must be on file for you to remain enrolled in your program. Please review the following video guide provided by the NC State Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners:
