Legacy Barber College is currently accepting applications for our September 2026 cohort, and we encourage prospective students to apply as early as possible.

Because of the strong demand for our programs, available seats are limited and are expected to fill quickly. In previous years, we maintained a waiting list of prospective students for more than three years, so we recommend securing your place as soon as you're ready.

Enrollment begins with submitting your application. Registration meetings are scheduled in the order applications are received. Once you've completed your admissions meeting and all enrollment requirements, your seat is officially reserved only after your required deposit has been paid. Seats are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be held without a deposit.

If the current cohort reaches capacity, qualified applicants may be placed on a waiting list for the next available start date.
