Admission Policies

  • All materials submitted become the permanent property of the MGH Institute of Health Professions Office of Student Affairs and may not be photocopied for individual use, returned or forwarded to other agencies.
  • Information given falsely or withheld will affect the decision on an application and may make the applicant ineligible for admission and/or enrollment.
  • Entry into MGH Institute of Health Professions is only valid for the semester and program of study listed on the acceptance letter. A student may request a deferral of admission if certain criteria are met and only upon approval by the program and/or Director of Admission. Please refer to the Deferral of Admission section for more detailed information. The MGH Institute of Health Professions retains the right to revoke earlier admission decisions on the basis of new information or limited resources.
  • Students who are admitted but who neither defer nor subsequently enroll are required to submit a new application and go through the entire application process again. Despite previous acceptance, there is no guarantee of acceptance to future start terms/programs of study.
  • A current or former student who wishes to pursue a different program other than the one originally sought must initiate a formal application for the new program by filing a new application for admission, and may need to submit additional documentation as necessary. An applicant may matriculate in only one degree program at a time.
  • Applicants can have an active application in one program at any given time. Those that apply for more than one will be asked to choose one program and the other account will be de-activated.
  • All applicants have one week after the stated application deadline to complete the application file with any missing documentation. After this time, all incomplete applications will be deemed "not eligible for review" and will not be reviewed for admission. Applicants will be required to re-apply for future consideration.
  • Applicants who apply through PTCAS, CSDCAS, OTCAS or CASPA are required to complete and submit our supplemental application in order to receive an admission decision.
  • All applicants are solely responsible for monitoring their own application for admission, as we do not send out email reminders for missing documentation. Applicants can check the status of their application by logging in to our online application system.
  • All applicants who do not submit required official documentation to the Office of Admissions in a reasonably timely manner may be removed from classes and face possible dismissal.
