Admission to the College does not guarantee admission to a specific health science program of study, as these programs have additional requirements that must be met. Students should carefully review the specific programs of study to determine the requirements and/or the academic course prerequisites. Also, the Health Science programs of study have specific ACT and/or COMPASS Placement Test scores.

Certain clinical facilities utilized by the Health Science programs require drug screening and criminal background checks/affidavits declaring that the student has no positive drug screens and no criminal history. Therefore, a signed affidavit or background check will be required prior to enrollment in the Health Science programs and drug screens will be conducted prior to assigned clinicals as well as randomly during assigned clinicals. The cost of the background check/affidavit and drug screens related to cause will be the responsibility of the student. Violation of Health Science policies pertaining to a student’s positive drug screen and/or a positive background check will result in the student being denied admission to any Health Science program or when already enrolled, the result will be the student’s immediate dismissal from the enrolled Health Science program.
