When scheduling or while in the admission courses, keep the following in mind:
- Plan when you will take your admission courses taking into consideration that some of the courses have prerequisite or co-requisite requirements or may be offered only once a year. DMS 1320, Introduction to Scanning is only offered in Spring semester due to lab availability.
- Biology and Math requirements should be scheduled early in your course plan; delaying them delays your application from being complete.
- Health Career programs do not accept Pass/No Pass grades for admission courses taken at Tri-C.
- A letter grade of "C" or better must be achieved.
- Only two of the admission courses may be repeated once to improve from a previous attempt. A "W" is counted as an attempt.
- Admission GPAs calculated using only the Tri-C specific admission course credit hours listed.
- Minimum 3.0 GPA for DMS 1303, DMS 1320 and DMS 1071 (total 5 credits).
- Minimum 3.0 GPA for BIO 2331 and BIO 2341 (total 8 credits).
- If you transferred in college courses, such as English, Math, Physics, Psychology, or Anatomy & Physiology, you will need an override to register for the some of the admission courses. Contact a counselor or program director to request the override; provide them your Tri-C student ID number and the course section number (CRN).
- There are no time limits for required courses; due to their importance, the course content is built upon (not reviewed) in the remaining Program courses.
- Minimum Tri-C cumulative GPA of 2.4 must be maintained during the entire length of the Program.
