• Complete the Health Sciences Application and Checklist.• Verify that all transcripts have been received by GTCC and attach a copy of your WebAdvisor transcript.• Attach all other documentation required on the Program Information Sheet and Application Checklist.

Applications received after 5pm on the deadline will not be accepted.

Important Notes to Health Science Program Applicants Program faculty reserve the right to revise or change course requirements in accordance with applicable state laws, college requirements, accreditation standards, and/or at the discretion of the faculty. By accepting admission into the program, the students agrees to at all times abide by the program requirements and procedures as set forth in the Student Handbook and the respective course syllabus issued at the beginning of each term for each course. The student is bound by such requirements and procedures regardless of whether they were established before or after the date of enrollment in the program. Changes made after the publication of the Handbook will be posted as an addendum to the Handbook.

Most programs require students to have a criminal background check, a drug screen, and an OIG review (Office of Inspector General) upon admission. Healthcare agencies that are utilized for clinical and/or internship experiences require this evaluation. If a student is denied agency access due to a positive check or screening, the students may not be able to complete the clinical education experiences, which will result in the inability to continue in the health science program. Screening may also be required after graduation by examination boards, state licensing boards, and employing agencies. Pending the outcome, a graduate may be disqualified from examination eligibility, state licensure, and/or employment.

Students must achieve a GPA of 2.0 or better in order to graduate. Students who receive a grade of “D” in a general education course (other than BIO) can graduate as long as their GPA is at least 2.0. However, a grade of “D” in a general education course will not transfer to another institution, nor will GTCC accept a grade of “D” for credit from another institution. Students must achieve a “C” or better in BIO and program major courses. Students who do not achieve a “C” or better in these courses will be suspended from the program.

Applicants to the Medical Assisting program are strongly encouraged to begin completing the general education classes required in the Medical Assisting program. These are the classes listed in the catalog that do not have the Medical Assisting (MED) prefix. Your academic advisor will help you select these classes.

AAMA Certification Examination Beginning with the January 2001 administration of the AAMA certification examination, applicants that have been found guilty of a felony or pleaded guilty to a felony will not be eligible to sit for the certification examination. Students may request the opportunity to submit written evidence/request a hearing before the certifying board of the AAMA in order to obtain a waiver. Please see the Program Director for the appeal process.

Online or Web Based MED classes Students must have daily access to a computer when taking online or web based courses in the CMA program.
