Need to Know
Many of the health programs require a mandatory criminal history check and drug screening
prior to starting the clinical portion of a program. Conviction of a felony or misdemeanor
will preclude eligibility on admission to the clinical portion of these programs.
It’s the student's responsibility to check a program's guidelines to determine if
this is a requirement.
The Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography programs require
an admission exam administered at OCC’s Auburn Hills campus.
