Several academic programs at 推荐正规买球平台 are limited enrollment programs, meaning that these programs can only accept a certain number of students per year. This requires the Office of Student Onboarding and Success to offer seats to students who submit a limited enrollment application once they meet requirements.

A student is able to apply for the academic program once the Minimum requirements have been met. Students are encouraged to meet with an Education Navigator to review requirements and submit an application.

Basic requirements include:

  • Completing Admissions Application
  • Submitting all Transcripts (High School/GED, College, and CNA Transcripts)
  • Demonstrating English and Math Readiness
  • Completing the Health Science Information Sessions (linked below under "Learn more about your Academic Programs")
  • Completing all General Education Courses (grades of "B" or better in Science Courses, grades of "C" or better in all other courses)
  • Achieving a minimum Health Science GPA
  • For Nursing Programs - Taking the TEAS Exam, Completing Nurse Aide I
  • For PTA: Complete 20 Hours of Observation

Review program-specific requirements in the checklists below.

The limited enrollment application will allow a student to select a second-choice program in the event the student doesn't get accepted to their first-choice program. In this scenario, the student would be considered for the second program once all candidates that indicated that program as a first choice have been considered.

The decision on entry is based on the date of the application once requirements have been met for the following programs: Associate Degree Nursing, Practical Nursing, Nursing Bridge, Dental Hygiene, Dental Assisting, Medical Sonography, and Veterinary Medical Technology.

For the Physical Therapist Assistant program, entry is based on a ranked GPA of all applicants.

For the Certificate in Esthetics program, entry is based on competitive points earned.

Notification of acceptance or denial will be sent to all candidates on a specified Notification Date. See notification dates below.

Additional points are awarded towards an applicant's point total based on cumulative GPA from the past five years.
    • Upon official acceptance, Health Science students are required to maintain the GPA requirements necessary for admission between the time they are accepted and the first day of classes. This means you cannot be placed on academic suspension during this timeframe.
