IMPORTANT DRUG TEST NOTIFICATION EFFECTIVE 11-5-19:
A positive drug screen for marijuana metabolite is still considered a failed drug screen,
regardless of whether a student is using CBD (cannabidiol) products derived from hemp
plants that contain .3% or less delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). (CBD products
derived from marijuana plants are not legal in the State of Texas.) If enough THC is
present, it will show up as a positive result on a urine drug screen. This means that using
CBD products may have the ability to cause a positive drug test. (updated 11-5-19)
Complete a 10-panel drug screen. Drug screens are only valid for 30 days.
Acceptance of an application does not guarantee a student a seat in the course. Classes may fill
quickly, preventing you from registering even though you have completed the application process.
Students must notify the Health Professions Institute, Continuing Education of any change in applicant
data. Failure to do so may result in the withdrawal of permission to register in the classes or the
inactivation of the application.
