The 性爱视频 Admissions Process

性爱视频 seeks students whose academic talent and commitment to excellence promise future achievement in their chosen areas of major study. The program faculty selects students primarily on the basis of their academic credentials, admissions essays, and the admissions interview (where applicable). Admissions interviews are evaluated by members of the faculty. Faculty members are looking for candidates with strong academic backgrounds and compelling reasons for pursuing their chosen areas of major study.聽 Specific admissions details are available in the program’s admissions information section.

“性爱视频’s location in Southern California is ideal for everything we’re about. It is a culture, here, of lifestyle medicine; people who are active, they’re within driving distance of the mountains and in the same day they can be on a beach.”

High school equivalency diplomas are issued by states to eligible applicants who pass the qualifying examinations. Specific age eligibility and required proof thereof are required. 性爱视频 adheres to the regulations governing eligibility established by the California State Education Department and will accept a GED from qualified applicants.

College Graduates & Current Students

Request that each college or university you have attended send transcripts directly to the Office of Admissions. All applicants who have attended foreign institutions whose highest degree is from a foreign high school, college, or university must have their credentials evaluated to demonstrate that the courses or degree earned meet the admissions standards. The University will accept evaluations by an agency listed on the (NACES) website.

Currently Enrolled 性爱视频 Students Admissions

Currently enrolled 性爱视频 students seeking to enter a new program of study must apply formally by submitting an online application.

Formerly Enrolled 性爱视频 Students Admissions

Formerly enrolled 性爱视频 students who are not on an active leave of absence for over a year and who plan to apply for readmission must submit an online application for admission.

An admissions interview may be required for returning students.

If another institution of higher learning was attended after leaving 性爱视频, official transcripts must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. The Office of Admissions reserves the right to review a student鈥檚 enrollment record to assist with admissions decisions.

The 性爱视频 statute of limitations policy limits the amount of time allowed to elapse between a student鈥檚 original enrollment in a program of study and completion of that program (see Academic Catalog).

Applicants with Disabilities Admissions

性爱视频 seeks to facilitate the full participation of disabled applicants in the application and admissions interview process. 性爱视频 makes reasonable accommodations or adjustments for qualified individuals with known disabilities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

Visit our veterans鈥� page Veterans | 性爱视频.

Applicants and Students with Criminal Background

The University offers both professional programs and programs not leading to specific professions. Background checks are not required as criteria for admission. However, certain professional programs leading to licensure or certification may ask for a criminal history after admission, including before matriculation and prior to placement or participation in clinical and other educational sites. Based upon the result of the criminal history check, admission may be rescinded, disciplinary action may be taken, and/or access to clinical or other educational sites may be prevented which may make the student unable to meet the clinical hour or other program requirements necessary to successfully complete the program.

Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the University and licensure and certification requirements can change at any time. Further, professional associations may deny membership to individuals with a criminal history and employers may deny or restrict employment, practice privileges, job duties, and practice locations to individuals with a criminal history.

Statement of Nondiscrimination

In compliance with federal, state, and local government requirements, Southern California University of Health Sciences does not discriminate against any individual on the basis of age, sex, race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition (as determined under California employment laws), or status as a Vietnam-era veteran or qualified disabled veteran in the administration of its educational programs, school-administered programs, publications or in its employment practices.

The Physician Assistant program requires a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and the Doctor of Occupational Therapy California program requires a $500 non-refundable deposit. The following programs are subject to a $250 non-refundable deposit: all Doctoral and Masters degree programs if not previously mentioned.

Transfer Credit for Prior Learning Assessment

When accepted, credit is only granted for courses pertaining to a degree or certificate program offered through the University. Examples may include credit for prior learning through examination offered by national testing programs such as College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST) or other American Council on Education (ACE) Credit Recommendation, or credit for prior demonstration of subject mastery through the passage of professional competency examinations such as the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), and other tests of a similar nature.
