Medical Laboratory Technology - Admission Process
Acceptance
Students will be selected from the applicant pool based on a point system. The application is due by the deadline of February 15th. These applicants will be admitted to the class beginning the summer term (May). Any alternates will be notified as quickly as possible should an opening occur throughout the month of April. Those not accepted may reapply for the next summer start.
Points are calculated using the MLT Points Calculator.
Pre-Requisite Courses
Students interested in MLT must complete the following courses with a grade of “C” or higher:
- MLAB 1301- Introduction to Medical Laboratory Technology
- BIOL 2010- Anatomy & Physiology 1 or BIOL 1110- General Biology 1
- BIOL 2230 – Microbiology
No students may register for MLAB courses, other than Introductory to Medical Lab Technology until they have been fully accepted and admitted to the Medical Laboratory Technology Program. Students may apply while pre-requisites are in progress, but admission to the program is contingent upon meeting the above requirements.
NOTE: that completing these courses does not guarantee program acceptance.
