Additional Requirements

The technical (non-academic) standards established by the programs in this department are evidence of the “essential functions” that students must be able to accomplish in the program. Essential functions include requirements that students be able to engage during educational and training activities so that they will not endanger other students, the public at large, or patients.

  • Vision Standard — The student must be able to read charts and graphs, read instrument scales, discriminate colors, read microscopic materials, and record results.
  • Speech and Hearing Standard — The student must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively in order to assess non-verbal communication and be able to adequately transmit information to all members of the health care team.
  • Fine Motor Functions Standard — The student must possess all skills necessary to carry out diagnostic procedures, manipulate tools, instruments and equipment.
  • Psychological Stability Standard — The student must possess the emotional health required for full utilization of the applicant’s intellectual abilities. The student must be able to recognize emergency situations and take appropriate actions.

A criminal conviction and/or the use of illegal drugs may impede or bar your entry into your chosen field of study. Clinical and hospital sites may reject a student, or remove a student from their site if a criminal record is found or if a positive drug test is noted. Inability to gain clinical or field work will result in the inability to meet program objectives and outcomes. Inability to meet objectives and outcomes may result in your failure to complete the program requirements, thus requiring your withdrawal from the program. In addition, the presence of a criminal conviction may also prevent your completion of the required state or federal licensure, certification or registration process.
