Enrollment in the clinical portion of the program is
limited to 20 students in each of two starting dates,
fall and spring. To be considered, you must:
i. Complete and submit a FCC application
for admission and submit proof
of residency if required.
ii. Complete an online application for the ST program.
All applications will be reviewed and seats will
be offered according to the point scale and
application date. First consideration is given to
those students who submit an application by the
first consideration date for the fall or spring classes.
Refer to the online application.
iii. Minimum skill levels in the areas of reading,
writing, math, and allied health science are
necessary for an application to be considered.
Students may meet these requirements by taking
the placement assessments and meeting the
minimum skill levels or by taking appropriate
developmental course work in these subjects.
iv. Students must achieve a “C” or higher
in any class they plan to apply toward
ST program requirements.
v. A point system is used to determine selection to
the program. Points will be assigned only to those
students who have returned the Application for
Admission to the Surgical Technology Class.
vi. When there are more qualified applicants than
there are seats in the program, those with the
highest points will be offered seats first. Other
qualified applicants will be offered seats as they
become available. It is highly recommended that
you participate in the job shadowing experience.
Those with documented job shadowing will be
given priority.
