Admissions Procedures

  • Each applicant must submit the following information/materials as instructed before any consideration of the application will be given:
    • Completed application form (Deadline: December 1)
    • Application fee: $20 (non-refundable)
    • Transcript from each college attended
  • When all of the items listed above have been submitted, the applicant’s academic qualifications are evaluated. Those applicants who met the minimum criteria will be contacted to make an appointment for a personal interview. The application file must be completed by December 15. The interview may take place after December 15 but must be scheduled by then.
  • After the interview, each applicant who has completed the process will be scored on non-academic characteristics, using information gathered from the application form and interview.
  • The relative weights given to each source of information are:
    • Academic criteria: 60 percent of total score
    • Non-academic criteria:
      • Application form:15 percent of total score
      • Interview: 25 percent of total score
    • Acceptable applicants will be ranked in order of their total scores; the highest total score will be assigned the first position on the acceptance list.
    • Demographic data such as Northern Ohio residency, state of Ohio residence and earliest date of application, may be used as tiebreakers in case two or more applicants have the same total score.
    • All applicants must have their college credits evaluated. Degrees granted by foreign schools must be evaluated and judged to be equivalent of U.S. degrees. Contact the program director before applying.
    • All students must have completed all prerequisite courses before beginning training. All pre-requisite coursework must be taken within 7 years of class enrollment date.
    • All students who do not have a baccalaureate degree before entering the program must submit evidence that they are enrolled in a 3+1 program and that their college will grant them a baccalaureate degree upon completion of the program.
    • It is the responsibility of the applicant to see that deadlines for submitting applications and application materials are met.
    • If deadlines are not met, we cannot guarantee the applicant will be considered for the July entrance date.
