| Entry into some health occupations programs (majors) is competitive. Students seeking entry into these majors must apply via a Specialized Admissions Application form, pay the specialized application and testing fees, attend a General Health Occupations Orientation and meet all program specific criteria. Interested students should see a Health Occupations Counselor for latest details on which health majors require the competitive specialized admission process for entry into their programs.
Specialized Admissions is a two-part competitive process. First, students apply for admission into a desired health occupations program (major) and must meet a series of general and required criteria as specified by that program. Second, students who satisfy all general and program specific application requirements are then competitively ranked based upon their current ACCUPLACER assessment test scores and most recent grades in course work directly related to the program.
Students applying for specialized admissions must first be fully accepted into the academic program at EPCC. Although all health occupations programs require attendance of the General Health Occupations Orientation and submission of the Specialized Admissions Application, they each may have different program specific application requirements. Some of the program specific criteria that may be different between programs are minimum ACCUPLACER test scores, required courses, ranking courses, cumulative grade point averages, submission of high school/ GED transcripts, background clearances, current physical examinations and immunizations, CPR certification, First Aid Certification, Food Handler’s Certification and/or attendance of program specific orientations.
See your Health Occupations Counselor for current program specific criteria as application/ranking criteria may change each year based upon the curriculum to be in effect for the term when students are to be awarded the major and actually begin class in the program. Applicants must meet requirements in effect for application and ranking each year and these requirements are subject to change.
*Note: Students must meet with Health Occupations Counselors to ensure their application status is current and correct.
Official ranking dates (the date that seats will be offered to applicants of the program) will vary for each major depending upon which semester the program actually begins. See your Health Occupations Counselor for program ranking and start dates.
