If you are interested in learning more about and/or admission to a College of DuPage Health Sciences Admissions program, PLEASE:
1. The best way to learn more about College of DuPage and our health sciences programs is to visit our campus. Attendance at a program advising
session is a MANDATORY requirement for most programs; the schedule is listed below. Each session will last approximately an hour to an hour
and a half. Advising sessions are open to the public for information purposes and do not require a College of DuPage general or health
sciences application to attend.
 Please view the online schedule under “Events” at https://admissions.cod.edu for the most accurate and up-to-date information as dates,
times and room locations are subject to change. To limit the number of events during your search, select “Health Science Advising Session”
under Event Category. You do not need to create a profile or log-in to view events.
 To register for any of the following upcoming events, we encourage you to create a profile at https://admissions.cod.edu. This will enable you to
view event availability, receive communications on upcoming events, and complete an application for admission, should you make the decision
to apply to College of DuPage. Prior registration and attendance are mandatory for most Health Sciences Program Advising Sessions and
registration closes the day before the scheduled event. Please note that the login information on this page is not linked to any existing
myACCESS, insideCOD student portal, or student e-mail accounts and may require you to create a new profile, even if you have previously
attended College of DuPage.
 Once logged in to your profile, select “Sign up for an Event” and select “Health Sciences Advising Session” under Event Category. Click on the
session you would like to attend, read the guidelines, and click “Register.” On the following page, confirm that your contact information is up
to date and click “register” once again. You are not officially registered for the advising session until you receive the confirmation screen. A
confirmation e-mail outlining the details of the sessions will also be sent for your reference.
For optimal system performance, the preferred browsers for creating your profile or application are Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome (Windows or Mac).
You may also wish to use one of the following supported browsers:
