Medical Laboratory Technology Department Requirements - ALL REQUIREMENTS LISTED BELOW ARE COMPLETED UPON ACCEPTANCE INTO THE MLT PROGRAM

Once accepted into the program, students are required to attend the program orientation, which is generally held in May. The date and time of orientation will be included in your acceptance letter. At orientation, you will receive detailed information about the requirements listed below. These items must be completed and submitted to the MLT Program Coordinator by the first day of classes. Please DO NOT submit any of these until after you have been accepted AND have attended orientation.

BACKGROUND CHECK

Completion of a criminal background check is an admission requirement for the MLT program. Specific details about the background check process will be provided during orientation. The background check ensures students can participate in required clinical rotations at external sites, as mandated by the program.

Important Considerations for Applicants with Criminal Histories:

A criminal history may impact a student’s ability to enroll in a healthcare program and secure future employment. Therefore, applicants with criminal convictions are strongly encouraged to:

Contact approved MLT education programs to ask about enrollment criteria related to criminal convictions.
Contact healthcare facilities to inquire about hiring policies for individuals with criminal convictions.

TUBERCULOSIS (TB) SKIN TEST

Must be completed after acceptance into the program. The deadline to submit TB test results is the end of August.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Students are required to maintain health insurance coverage while enrolled in the nursing program. Our associated clinical facilities require this of all students.
