Enrollment Process
Our Enrollment Process
If you’re reading this, then you’re ready to take the next important step to achieving your goals. That’s why we make the enrollment process as easy as can be. Actually, the term “Enrollment Process” is about the only intimidating part of the whole experience. Your Enrollment Services Representative is there to help from beginning to end.
Age qualification
By the first day of classes, you must be at least 17 years of age in Nevada and California, at least 16 in Arizona and Idaho and at least 18 in New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.
Interview
Application to some of our programs requires an interview with the Program Director or a member of the instructional staff. These are usually brief and provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. Your Enrollment Services Representative can help arrange a time that’s convenient for you.
Complete an entrance examination*
We do require a skills assessment evaluation. The exam and minimum scores vary from program to program. Your Enrollment Services Representative can provide you information about the specific assessment tool we use as well as our retesting policies.

Meet educational requirements
If your program needs proof that you have met specific educational requirements, we’ll need to receive it no later than five days from the start of your first class. Questions about this? Simply ask your Enrollment Services Representative.
Additional requirements
Depending on the program you have chosen, a background check and/or drug screening may be necessary, just as it may be when you seek employment upon graduation. If you’re enrolling in Medical Assisting, Health Care Administration, Nursing or Pharmacy Technology, you must adhere to the Caregiver criminal history screening policy and procedure.
Payment of a registration fee (when applicable)
Approval
Once the executive campus director or dean of academic affairs finds that you’ve met the entrance requirements and that you have the academic and personal qualifications for success in your chosen program, your application is approved.
