HEALTH TECHNOLOGY

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM PROGRESSION REQUIREMENTS

Certain Health Technology programs have a competitive admission process which may include cumulative admission testing, Grade Point Average, aptitude testing, a written or verbal interview, and/or verifiable work experience in patient care. A Health Technology core has been implemented to afford students who qualify for the opportunity to earn progression into a more advanced health technology technical certificate, diploma or associate degree program.

Students are subject to a background check and/or drug screening based on the respective clinical/medical facility’s requirements. If the clinical/medical facility finds the student’s background check or drug screening to be unsatisfactory, the student will be prohibited from participating in clinical activities and will be unable to complete their program of study.

Students should educate themselves as to which core courses are required for the Health Technology program of choice. Students must successfully complete all Health Technology core courses in order to remain in a Health Technology program and progress to the next level. Please see each specific program description for additional information.

Preference will be given to students who complete the Health Technology Core and maintain a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher. However, slots are filled from the highest grade point averages (4.00) downward until the maximum enrollments are reached. There is no guarantee that a 3.00 or higher GPA will progress within a particular quarter as all slots are competitive.

Successful completion of a course requires that students receive a passing grade. It is vital to the success of the students to maintain passing grades in all courses for all programs. To pass, students must make an A, B, or C in each course taken.

A 90-100 4.00
B 80-89 3.00
C 70-79 2.00

Unsuccessfully completing a course would mean any grade of D, F, U, W.

D 60-69 1.00
F 0-59 0

Should a student receive an unsuccessful grade in any course work, in any Health Technology program, suspension may occur from that program.

Students wishing to re-enter a Health Technology program after suspension must submit an application for readmission by the deadline date for each quarter. Students wishing to return into an upper level course will be selected on space availability and grade point average from all courses that apply to that particular major.

ANY WITHDRAWAL FROM ANY COURSE AT ANY LEVEL MAY AFFECT PROGRESSION IN YOUR CHOSEN PROGRAM OF STUDY.
