Points

The following point system will be used to select students for each Health Science Program and is used for course completion for general education and specific accreditation requirements:

Grade of “A” for courses = 10 points

Grade of “B” for courses = 7 points

Grade of “C” for courses = 4 points

(NOTE: Students will receive the highest grade for courses earned per category and/or repeated.)

(NOTE: If the program requires more than one course per category, then take the grades for each course and add them together. Ex: Eng Comp I = A = 10 pts.; Speech = C = 4 pts. = 14 points.  List grades of A and C in the “Grade” and “Points” areas appropriately.  

During the first week in June, the points for all applicants will be calculated and the 20 applicants with the highest scores will be selected for entry into the program. In the event that two students have the same number of points, the date of application submission will be used, and the student who submitted their completed application documents at the earliest date will be ranked highest. Students not selected will be placed on a waiting list and will be contacted, in order of their point ranking, in the event that an applicant accepted for program admission declines their position.

Please note that students are not required to have any courses completed prior to applying to the program. Completion of courses prior to submission of the program application simply assures that the applicant will have a greater number of points when ranked for admission.
