Special Admissions Requirements

After completion of the prerequisites with a “C” or higher, applicants must submit an online application and select Veterinary Technology as the program of choice. The application and all official transcripts must be submitted to the Office of Records and Registration between September 1 and March 1 to be considered for fall acceptance. Students submitting applications between March 2 and August 31 will be considered for the following spring semester. Applications not approved for fall are encouraged to re-apply
after September 1. One class will be accepted per semester. All prerequisite courses and all documentation, including evaluation of all high school and/or college transcripts must be completed prior to the deadlines. After applying the following will then occur:

1. Review of applications by the Veterinary Technology Program Director in March and August.
2. Candidates will receive written notification of the selection decision.
3. Accepted applicants are required to attend a program orientation session to review program requirements.

Admission to the program is on a competitive basis and the completion of prerequisites and core curricular courses does not guarantee admission to the program. Since there are more applicants than there are positions, admission points will be assigned according to the applicants documented record. Criteria for selection are based on past performance and grades on core curriculum requirements. Heavy emphasis will be placed on math and science courses where applicable.

Science courses that were completed five or more years prior to enrollment in the vet tech program will not be accepted for credit. Students previously accepted into the program and have not enrolled in vet tech (ASC) courses since August 2012, will be required to re-apply for the program through the application process. Preference will be given to students who have completed their core curriculum requirements at Camden County College. Vet tech courses from colleges other than CCC will not be accepted.
