Completion of the Application Form

should contact the Advising Office in Bladen Hall, Room 124, to
discuss these procedures with an Allied Health adviser.
y With regards to Item 13, non-citizens must present (in person)

program.

along with the nonrefundable $25 application fee, to the Admissions &
Records Office, or to any of the degree centers.

the event of any violation, the college will impose appropriate disciplinary sanctions on students under the Code of Conduct. The college’s
Office of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention (ODAAP) identifies
and advises employees and students about available drug or alcohol
counseling, treatment or rehabilitation, or re-entry programs that are
available to them, informs employees and students about the health
risks associated with the uses of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol,

take them separately. Scores are available immediately upon completion of the test. No appointment is necessary.
There is a separate placement test for students whose first language

Every student is expected to know the college’s academic policies

enrollment, tuition payment and course withdrawals. Lack of awareness

deadline.

at the time of admission. All important policies and procedures are
described there. Students should also get a copy of each semester’s
schedule of classes, since deadlines and special procedures for each
