Limited & Restricted Entry Enrollment
Applying
These programs have additional steps for students to take before they are considered for admission. Students must apply within the time period prescribed annually by the Admissions, Registration, and Records Office. Upon notice of acceptance into the program by the Admissions, Registration, and Records Office, the applicant must indicate his/her intention to enroll by completing registration prior to an established deadline. Applications are for one academic year only. You must reapply each year if not selected. Admission to the College does not guarantee admission to a special program.
Selection Process
Program personnel and a selection committee will review applicants who have satisfied the minimum selection criteria. You can find a detailed description of the selection process by reviewing the application packet.
Course Requirements
The course requirements for MHCC programs are subject to change each academic year. For MHCC certificate/degree requirements, a student must follow the program requirements either for the year the student is officially admitted to the program or the year the student is completing the program.
Student Progress
Students admitted into limited or restricted-entry programs are expected to complete the curriculum within the normal two-year period. However, a program may be extended given permission from the program faculty advisor. In such cases, the student will need to complete a "Petition for Change of Status" form. This form outlines the details of the program extension agreement. Because of enrollment limitations, extending a program beyond two years must be on a space-available basis.
If the student's studies are interrupted by two or more years, or if the course of study extends beyond five years, degree requirements for graduation may have changed and the student may be asked to complete current requirements in order to earn the certificate or degree.
Students who are unable to maintain satisfactory progress may, through a process of review, be removed from a program. This is especially true in regard to clinical education in which patient safety is involved.
Limited-Entry Programs
These programs begin once a year, generally, in the fall term. Applicants are admitted on a space available basis after academic criteria has been met.
Restricted-Entry Programs
Applicants for a restricted-entry program must complete the admissions application procedures and meet program criteria before being considered for acceptance into the program. The packet must be completed accurately and returned by the application deadline date. Only completed packets meeting minimum criteria will be considered. The deadline for submitting a completed packet varies for each program, so it is important to check the specified deadline date for each program.
