Pre-Enrollment

If accepted into the program, students will receive a formal offer of admission letter with instructions on how to accept the position into the program. The offer of admission provides incoming students links to checklists that serve as guides to the matriculation process (to enroll as a new student). This checklist can also be found on the New Students page of the School of Health Professions website.

The offer of admission is contingent on the receipt of a clear background check and clear drug screen.
