[Text Only Version] Technical (Career) Programs

Admission to a community college does not guarantee admission to any technical program leading to an Associate in Applied Science degree. Admission to these degree programs is dependent upon the availability of resources for implementation of qualified instruction, and the number of students admitted may be limited by these considerations.

There are guidelines for admission to some technical programs which are used in the selection process. In addition, technical standards have been developed for some programs. Preference in admission is given to Kentucky residents. Students seeking admission to a technical program should contact the program coordinator for information regarding any special requirements for admission. This should be done well in advance of the beginning of the semester in which the student plans to enroll. In most instances, this should be done approximately eight months in advance. Students interested in Associate in Applied Science degree programs should check with the SKCTC admission office regarding the admission process.

Students in allied health and nursing programs may be required to take certain laboratory examinations prior to experience in clinical facilities. Each student accepted for admission to a health-related program requiring patient/client contact must show evidence that he or she has professional liability insurance in an amount to be the Kentucky Community and Technical College System prior to any patient/client contact in any health-related course.

After admission and prior to enrollment in an allied health, early childhood, environmental science, or nursing program, students must show evidence that they have received Hepatitis B vaccination or that they are in the process of receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine series. A signed declination form must be submitted if a student chooses not to receive the Hepatitis B vaccination.
