The enrollment form shall be submitted to the board within thirty days of the student's enrollment date.

(4) Two current, identical photos of the applicant bearing the applicant's signature on the front. The photos shall meet the requirements established by the board.

(C) All barber schools shall submit each application for admission to the board for approval prior to enrolling the student. After review, the board shall do one of the following:

(1) Approve the application and issue a student registration card. This card must be displayed, along with the individual's signed photograph, at the individual's barber chair at the school.

(2) Deny the application and notify the individual and school, in writing, of the reason(s) for the denial.

(D) No barber school shall admit any student until the student has been issued a registration card by the board.
