Any person entering or enrolling in a licensed school for education in the practice of cosmetology, nail technology, or esthetics shall apply to the commission for a student license within ten days after the date of enrollment. The applicant for a student license shall be at least seventeen years of age. The application shall contain the information required pursuant to § 36-15-15 and the name and location of the school being attended. Upon receipt of the application and the fee provided for in this chapter, the commission shall issue to the applicant a student license which entitles the student to complete the course of education in which the student is enrolled without additional license fees. If the student withdraws from the school or course in cosmetology, nail technology, or esthetics for which the fee was paid and later enrolls in the same or a different school or course, the student shall pay the student license fee again. If at any time a student transfers schools, the student shall submit an application, and pay the applicable license fee, for a student license.
