Alternate Status

The maximum number of MLS students accepted with each new cohort (spring and summer) in the 2 + 2 Track is 15. The maximum number of students accepted in the Post- Baccalaureate Certificate Track with each new cohort (summer and fall) is 10. If more students complete all admission criteria than can be accepted, an alternate list will be generated. Should an opening become available, students will be accepted based on date of required documentation completion. Any student granted readmission to the MLS program will be admitted as an alternate.

A clinical site for the clinical experience must be determined for each student before admission to the program. In cases where several students are assigned to the same clinical site, priority will be given to the student with the highest program GPA. Students may use their employer as a clinical site if the facility meets program criteria. Students not employed in a medical laboratory, or those whose employer does not meet program criteria, will be assigned to a clinical site listed on our roster of clinical affiliates, or the student will get signed documentation from a clinical facility in his/her locale that meets program criteria and is willing to host them. Should a student change his/her mind about the clinical facility assignment after starting the program, it is the student’s responsibility to acquire another clinical affiliate that meets the program criteria and is willing to host them. Since all students must have an assigned clinical facility for admission, there will not be more students admitted than can be accommodated.
