Admission into the Respiratory Care Major (BSRC)Admission in this policy refers to a formal evaluation of program prerequisites and other course work so that those students who gain formal admission can advance to the junior and senior level respiratory care courses. This policy should not be confused with freshman and sophomore students who are respiratory care majors. Being a respiratory care major does not imply or guarantee program admission. Three admission categories exist: full, conditional, and denied. Full program admission is granted to applicants who have completed all program prerequisites, required academic foundation courses and are in good academic standing. Conditional program admission is granted to applicants who have not completed, but are presently enrolled in, course work that will complete the prerequisites and required academic foundation courses. Once a conditionally admitted student successfully completes the required course work the admission status is automatically upgraded to full admission. A student who is conditionally admitted but does not successfully complete the prerequisites, will lose conditional status. The on-campus BSRC program does not accept prior respiratory care course credits or work experience in lieu of required respiratory care course work, and does not offer advanced placement. Applicant Selection ProceduresDue to limited availability of clinical sites, the selection process for admission into the Respiratory Care Program is based upon a ranking system.
