Because of space limitations, enrollment limitations imposed by accrediting agencies, or program prerequisites, admission to these programs is selective. Please refer to program pages of the individual Allied Health programs for descriptions of the programs, and specific graduation requirements. The admission process includes the following steps:

1. Individuals may apply for only one Allied Health or Nursing program at a time. Initiating an application to a second Allied Health or Nursing program will nullify any previous application to a different Allied Health or Nursing program for that admission period. New applications will not be accepted until after August 1 of the year preceding the year in which the admission decision is made. For example, applications for classes entering Fall 2012 (or later that academic year) will not be accepted until August 1, 2011.
2. At the time of application, applicants must supply all necessary documentation described in step three. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Applicants are responsible for notifying the Admissions office of any and all changes in name, address, or phone number. If mail is returned more than once in an application cycle, the potential applicant will not be sent any additional correspondence during that year.
3. Completed application packets contain all of the following information, and should be turned in to the Enrollments Services office as a packet:
   1. Selective Admission application and checklist indicating the specific Allied Health program desired and previous colleges attended.
   2. Evidence of high school performance and graduation.
      1. For high school graduates: high school transcript(s) showing entire high school record, including graduation.
      2. For high school students anticipating graduation during the current year: prior to the closing date, applicants who are currently in high school need to submit an updated transcript from their completed first semester of their senior year. If admitted to an Allied Health program, an additional high school transcript showing graduation must be submitted prior to beginning the program.
      3. For GED recipients: successful GED results and high school transcript(s) (to document courses completed at high schools, if applicable).
   3. ACT or SAT score (waived for applicants who provide official documentation of a degree from an accredited college).
   4. Official transcripts from other colleges attended. Applicants are responsible for sending updated copies of official transcripts from other colleges as they become available during the admission process.
   5. Completion of other admission requirements based on the program to which you are applying.
      1. Dental Hygiene – COMPASS algebra assessment with a score of at least 40; or grade of “C” or higher in Chemistry 10, Mathematics 101, or other college-level mathematics course.
      2. Medical Laboratory Technology – COMPASS algebra assessment with a score of at least 40; or grade of “C” or higher in Mathematics 101, or other college-level mathematics course; or grade of “C” or higher in Chemistry 10 AND a grade of “C” or higher in Mathematics 100.
      3. Radiography – Grade of “C” or higher in BOTH Mathematics 121 and OIT 227.
4. The application packet must be complete by the application closing date. Unless an insufficient number of applications are received, the application closing date for: a. Radiography is February 1. b. Physical Therapist Assistant is March 1. c. Dental Hygiene is April 1. d. Medical Laboratory Technology is May 15.
5. Admission decisions will be made based on the specific criteria as stated for each program as described later in this section. Program prerequisites and criteria for admission in this catalog apply to classes admitted for the 2011-2012 academic year.
6. Each individual whose application was completed will be informed of the admission decision via U.S. Postal Service 30 days after closing date.

The admission to any Allied Health programs will not be based on race, religion, sexual orientation, color, national origin, gender, marital status, age, or disability. ACT and SAT scores and grade in both high school and college (if applicable) will be considered in the selection process. Other factors may also be considered and may be prioritized and weighted differently by individual programs. You may obtain more specific information about the selection process from the Admissions office, or an academic advisor. Selective Admission application packets should only be submitted or re-submitted once the admission requirements are met. Applications and supporting documents will be returned to potential students if the admission requirements are not met.
