Admission Requirements

To enter Seminole State's Respiratory Care Program, students must complete the following steps and meet the following criteria:

Respiratory Therapy

  • Complete a Seminole State application online. If you prefer, you can print the Seminole State application for admission; obtain one from the Seminole State Admissions Office; or request that one be sent to you by calling 407.708.2050.
  • Complete a Respiratory Care Program application.
  • Earn a high school diploma or GED.
  • Take the College Placement Test (CPT).
  • Possess at least an intermediate algebra skill level.
  • Have grades of "C" or higher in Anatomy and Physiology I (BSC 2093C), as well as English I (ENC 1101).
  • Have an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher.
  • Submit to a background check. All students entering a healthcare program with a clinical component will be required to complete a criminal background check. Students must be free of offenses that could potentially disqualify them from working in a healthcare environment (Florida Statute 400.211). Admission into clinicals is at the discretion of the clinical agencies.

College counselors are available to assist students with the admission process. Students must attend a mandatory information session as part of the application process.

Application Deadlines

  • New Students: May 1-31 (Applications received after May 31 will still be accepted, but admission will only be granted on a space-available basis.)
  • Transition Students who are Certified Respiratory Therapists: Jan. 1

Additional Information

Additional information can be found in the Seminole State online catalog. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor or academic adviser for guidance in course selection, sequencing and scheduling. Financial assistance and scholarship opportunities are also available.
