What happens if the application requirements for licensure are not met?

If the application requirements for licensure are not met, the correct outcome is that the application will be processed once it is complete. This means that if certain materials or documentation are missing initially, the applicant has the opportunity to provide the necessary information and fulfill the requirements outlined by the Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology.

This approach allows for flexibility and enables applicants to take the necessary steps to meet the criteria for licensure without facing immediate denial. It encourages applicants to stay engaged in the process and rectify any issues, emphasizing the importance of complete applications while still offering a path to approval.

In contrast, the other options suggest outcomes that do not align with the process, such as automatic denial without the chance to complete the application or the notion of refunds and frequent resubmissions, which are not standard practices in licensing procedures. The system is designed to ensure that qualified candidates have the chance to obtain their license as long as they are willing to fulfill the requirements.
