PROCESS TO APPLY

STEP 1: Pre-Enrollment Student Meeting

All applicants will meet with a member of the Allied Health staff to go over program requirements, costs, funding options, and application guidelines. This meeting can be done on the phone, in-person, or through Zoom. It will last approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

 

STEP 2: Allied Health Applicant Intake Form

• Applicants will submit the Allied Health Applicant Intake form after completing the Pre-Enrollment Student Meeting form. 

• The pre-enrollment form is used to collect student information for college databases. This is NOT an application to the program.

 

STEP 3: Application Requirements Submission

• Applicants will complete the application and all application requirements using Complio.

• Complio is the official 3rd party provider for background checks, drug tests, and immunization compliance. It is also where applicants will sign the program application documents.

• Applicants will receive the Complio link to purchase their Complio package once the Allied Health Applicant Intake form is completed.

NOTE: Each program has limited spots and students are registered for the program on a first-come, first-served basis. Every applicant will be made aware of available program spots at the pre-enrollment student meeting. Should the program become filled, and if the applicant has already purchased Complio, they will be waitlisted and may have the option to enroll if a spot opens. If a spot does NOT open, they will be given priority enrollment in the next program offering.

 

STEP 4: Registration

• The applicant will be formally enrolled into their program upon Complio completion.

• The applicants will receive a registration confirmation email with program details and payment information upon formal enrollment.

• Payment must be received before the program start date.
