AY23 Academic Catalog/Handbook

Competitive Allied Health Programs

Applications to compete must be submitted no later than the specified deadline. Students without an application on file in the Admissions Office will NOT be considered for competition. Applications signify that the student:

  1. has completed or will complete the designated courses,
  2. has registered for and will complete TEAS test prior to the published deadline (for nursing, radiologic technology, and diagnostic medical sonography programs), and
  3. understands the competitive process including deadlines for work experience forms and official college transcripts.

If designated core courses and additional curriculum/other requirements listed are not completed by the published deadline and/or if the student is not in satisfactory academic standing at OFTC, then the application will not be considered. The student is responsible for the payment of the drug screen fee and criminal background investigation fee that will be assessed when students register for classes with such requirements. All newly accepted students will be required to attend an orientation session prior to the beginning of the program. No new students will be accepted after program orientation occurs. The updated Guidelines for Entry into Allied Health Programs can be found on the OFTC website under Admissions.
