• All applicants must take a nationally standardized test that is designed to reliably measure their ability to be successfully trained to perform the tasks associated with the occupation to which the program of instruction is represented to lead.
• Applications for credit of previous education, training, work experience (experiential learning), or CLEP must be completed prior to the first day of the course. This may require testing by examination to determine credit for previous education, training, or work experience.
• 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).
• Students must have documentation for required health examinations, pathology tests, and immunizations prior to beginning clinical courses or the externship experience (if applicable to student's choice of program).
• A criminal background check may be required before a student can be placed in an 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 the program of their choice.
