Application Procedure
Complete and submit the registration form with the full course fee.
The course fee includes all required textbook(s) and materials,
liability insurance, scrubs, and the CNA certification exam fee.
Applications will be accepted on the basis of date received, degree
of completion of required immunizations, and the background of the
student. The full fee will be returned to any applicant who is not
selected to participate in this program. Important Note: No
refunds will be processed for withdrawals received less than 7
calendar days prior to the first class meeting.
You must submit acceptable documentation signed by your health care
provider verifying that you have met each of the requirements
outlined below. All health documentation must be received prior
to the first class meeting in order to ensure scheduling of clinical
placement. Students who do not complete health documentation by the
deadline will not be scheduled for clinical and will therefore fail
the course.

- TUBERCULOSIS: Mantoux test required within 1 year. If Mantoux test is positive then a chest x-ray is required within the past 5 years. If no tuberculosis test within 1 year then a two-step Mantoux test is also required.
