| The
health programs are designed to commence in the fall quarter. However, this
does not preclude students entering Lakeland in other quarters and taking
general education courses or prerequisite courses. Only those students who
are formally accepted into the health programs can take the technical courses.
Students
are encouraged to take the Asset Placement Tests as early as possible
to determine his/her placement in the mathematics and English courses.
A complete
physical examination is required after acceptance and prior to formal
entry into the programs. The student is responsible for the expenses of
the physical examination.
Students
in the health technology programs are required to maintain a grade of
"C" or above in all technical and support science courses to continue
in the program.
ALLIED HEALTH AND NURSING STUDENTS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The health program’s curricular criteria and academic standards
for courses and program achievement require students to complete clinical
assignments and training at clinical sites. In accordance with our clinical
affiliations, all students present at a hospital/clinical affiliation
site must complete criminal background check. A criminal record may make
you ineligible to participate in a clinical assignment. The resulting
reports will be disclosed to field placement agencies, hospitals, and
clinicals. Clinical affiliations may also require that students pass
a drug screening before accepting them. Any and all cost associated with
the aforementioned screenings will be borne by the Student. Further,
all fees paid for criminal record checks are non-refundable.
Failure to comply with procedures will result in termination of program
sequencing and dismissal from the nursing and allied health program or
certificate.
