					 enrolling is entitled to credits previously earned at an out-of-State or
					 in-State school, the school enrolling the student shall carefully evaluate the
					 credits. A mere statement that the applicant for certification of entrance
					 credits has pursued work elsewhere will not be accepted as sufficient evidence.
					 The statement shall be documentary evidence showing attendance at a given
					 school, and if possible, the number of hours attended and the subjects
					 pursued.
(i) A student may request
					 a transfer of credits for hours or months of study between a barbershop and a
					 barber school or between shops, whether the barbershop or barber school is
					 in-State or out-of State, if the student passes a test which is based on the
					 number of hours attended and the subjects pursued and is devised by the shop or
					 the school to place the student in the appropriate courses.
(j) The Board reserves the right to reject an
					 examination application of a student whose credits have been improperly given
					 or evaluated.
