• Valid ACCUPLACER, COMPASS, ASSET, SAT, or ACT test scores (see ACCUPLACER Placement Examination).
• Proof of legal presence in the United States.
• Official Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS V) must be completed before the Admission Deadline for the term the student wishes to enroll.

Applicants to the Health Information Technology Program must meet additional requirements to receive consideration for admission to this program. Applicants must submit all required materials by May 1 for Fall Semester admission or October 1 for Spring Semester admission to the program. In addition to submitting the documentation as outlined in the section on General Admission Requirements, Health Information Technology applicants must complete the following steps by application deadline.

Submit official transcripts showing that they earned a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale in high school and on all college work attempted. (Applicants transferring from other colleges will not be required to submit high school transcripts if they completed a minimum of 30 semester or 45 quarter credit hours of study at one or more colleges).

Applicants transferring from other colleges must confirm the transferability of credit for these courses with the college's director of registration and records by the application deadline.

Students should be aware that the commission of a felony before or during their enrollment in this program may prevent them from participating in practicum or externship courses, which will ultimately prevent them from completing the program and will jeopardize their ability to sit for the RHIT certification examination.

Before beginning HIMT coursework, applicants must complete the general core courses Anatomy and Physiology I (BIOL 2113 and BIOL 2113L) or Survey of Human Anatomy (BIOL 2100), College Algebra (MATH 1111) or Statistics (MATH 1127), and Composition and Rhetoric (ENGL 1101) with grades of C or higher.
