• All applicants must complete the required admissions documents and submit the necessary fee(s) stated on the Tuition and Fee Schedule.
• All applicants must complete an informational interview. Applicants are encouraged to bring parents or spouses to the interview.
• All applicants are encouraged to tour the campus prior to starting classes.
• All applicants for admission who do not possess at least an associate's degree or have acceptable scores on the SAT or ACT exams may be required to take an entrance exam. Information on passing scores for program of study and the SAT and ACT scores will be made available from the Director of Education or through the Education Department of the College.
• Applicants for credit for previous education, training, work experience (experiential learning), or CLEP must be completed prior to the first day of the course for which the transfer credit is requested. This may require testing by examination to determine credit for previous education, training, or work experience. Training received at foreign institutions may need to be evaluated for U.S. equivalency.
• All applicants must complete financial arrangements prior to starting class. If applicable, financial aid applications must be completed.
• All applicants must complete an Enrollment Agreement (must be signed by a parent or guardian if the applicant is under 18 years of age).
• Documentation of any required health examinations, pathology tests, and immunizations must be presented prior to clinical courses or externship experience, if applicable.
• The state, employers, and various other agencies may require criminal background checks before a student can be placed in externship or take professional licensing, certification, or registration exams. Students who have prior felony convictions or serious misdemeanors may be denied the opportunity to take professional licensing, certification, or registration exams, or may be denied a license or certification to practice in some states even if the exam is taken and successfully completed. Students are responsible for inquiring with the appropriate agencies about current requirements prior to enrolling in their programs of choice.
