- Complete a Respiratory Care Program application.
- Earn a high school diploma or GED.

- Submit to a background check. All students entering a healthcare program with a clinical component will be required to complete a criminal background check.

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