Policies that can change your plan

No more than two grades of C are allowed, and your prerequisite GPA must be at least 3.0. Finishing prerequisites within five years is ideal. Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Medical Terminology courses ten or more years old ordinarily exceed the limit, with case-by-case exceptions or proficiency testing. The program's prerequisite list was last updated in March 2018 and does not give credit minimums for individual courses, so confirm details with the program.

When courses must be complete: Courses may be in progress with a plan to finish before entry; final grades C or better and required GPA maintained.
