• TSI Test Scores, or exemption criteria met.
• Transcripts (High School Diploma, GED or College Transcripts - unofficial copies are fine
  • Students with prior college credits: it is the applicants’ responsibility to ensure CTC receives the transcripts. For effective academic counseling to occur, copies of the transcripts should be sent to the HT office prior to the pre-admission interview. All transfer courses accepted in the HT curriculum must have a grade of C or above.
• Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 to be admitted into the HT Program.
• Science courses that are 5 years old or greater must be repeated, unless the student has complete a 2- or 4-year degree in a relevant science field.

BIOL 1406 is recommended for any student who has not completed a high school biology course prior to entering HLAB

CHEM 1406 is recommended for any student who has not completed a high school chemistry course. Students with previous college science credits will be exempt.

Based on the date of the application and after admission criteria have been met, ten students are admitted to the HLAB 1401 courses. Enrollment in HLAB 1401 does not guarantee a position in the clinical courses of the program. Upon entering HLAB 1401 and subsequent courses, the student is in competitive status for admission to the clinical courses of the program.

The student must complete the program within 4 calendar years of enrollment.

After complete applications have been received by the office, qualified students will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Upon successful acceptance, students will be given a Letter of Acceptance, a Histology Degree Plan, and will be scheduled for the mandatory program orientation.
