Health Program Admissions

With the exception of the Central Sterile Processing, Mammography, Nurse Aide, Ophthalmic Surgical Assist and Surgical First Assistant programs, all health programs require a competitive admissions process. A student must complete all pre-requisites and gain competitive points in order to apply for program approval. **Having an official copy of your Hight School transcript in FTCC Admissions is a requirement for application to all Health Programs. Students may take the designated program-related courses at FTCC in the Associate in General Education-Health program as they prepare to compete.

Selection

Initial competitive points are based on “earned” grades in the specific program’s designated related courses (which usually include all the non-major courses except Humanities/Elective and ACA). Then each program has a competitive points worksheet that outlines the potential “extra” competitive points a candidate can achieve. During the selection process, Category I applicants will be placed in order of most points followed by Category II applicants. A program will accept the top students based on the number of available seats.

Notification

Approximately 6-8 weeks after the Health Applicant Rating Forms are sent via student email with initial eligibility status and points, applicants will receive the selection status emails of: Conditionally Selected, Alternate, or Not Selected.

Phase 3

If a program does not fill to capacity, the admission process for that program may be re-opened for a limited time. The programs that have re-opened the application will be listed at the top of this webpage.
