Acceptable High School Graduation Types »
In most programs of study, various entrance requirements are a necessity. These requirements are enforced to enhance student success in chosen fields.
For example, Health Sciences/Nursing applicants complete additional program requirements once admission to the college has been completed. Applicants to Health Sciences/Nursing programs are considered to be in a "pre" status until all admission criteria for the program are complete. Enrollment in each Health Sciences/Nursing program is limited. All applicants must complete a mandatory career talk session. Some courses are also time-sensitive - Health Sciences/Nursing applicants entering with advanced standing must have completed any biophysical course within five years of starting clinicals.
Although applicants for admissions may not meet the requirements for entering a particular program, the college has the ability, through the transitional studies process, to help them attain their academic goals.
