STATEMENT OF STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
I verify that I have read all the information regarding admissions to the Medical Assisting Program, and understand the
steps I must take to qualify for admissions. I understand that it is my responsibility to notify the Student Information
and Records office regarding changes in name, address, or phone number through eForms.
I understand that all official communication from the college is delivered via ConnectMail, including Health and Wellness
admissions decisions.
I understand that my Medical Assisting application will not be accepted if incomplete.
I understand upon my acceptance to the Medical Assisting (MA) program, clinical sites require a criminal background
check and drug screening prior to my placement for training at that site. I understand I will pay a fee directly to a
designated vendor for this background check. I understand that if I am admitted to the MA program but am denied
clinical placement by any of the hospitals/healthcare facilities, I will be unable to successfully complete the MA program
as the programs clinical objectives cannot be met. Program admission on two occasions with two clinical denials will be
considered a second entry into the MA program. Students are only allowed two entries (admissions) into the MA
program.
I understand that upon acceptance to the MA program, I will be given a Student Medical form and required to complete
a physical examination and assessment (including proof of immunizations or titers). I must maintain up to-date health
care insurance throughout the program.
I understand failure to upload the completed clinical requirements and documentation by August 10 (no exception or
extensions) may result in the inability to progress in the program or dismissal from the program.
I understand that accepting a seat within the Medical Assisting program counts as the first admission. A
maximum of two admissions are allowed.
I understand that the core courses (any courses beginning with MED) of Medical Assisting have an expiration date of two
years. Any transfer student or re-entry student will be required to retake MED courses if they are more than two years
old.
