For either option, all program courses (HSCL) from the prior semester must be completed to progress to the next semester. All CLT program courses and science prerequisite courses will require a minimum grade of C or better. Failure to attain the minimum grade in CLT program courses will result in a stop-out and require readmission to the program. Readmission will be based upon space availability. Students may be readmitted only one time.
Courses Required to CLT Program Admission: 31 Credit Hours
The student must have satisfactorily completed all general education and science prerequisites.

Hospital Clinical Courses:
One month prior to the first clinical rotation course
(HSCL 2412 or HSCL 2405), submit all immunization and CPR documents with a checklist to the Program Director.
- Clinical Lab Science rotations total 800 hours as follows:
- Phlebotomy 80 hours
- Hematology (including Urinalysis and Coagulation) 160 hours
- Chemistry 160 hours
- Microbiology 200 hours
- Immunohematology (Blood Banking) 200 hours
- The 800 hours of clinical rotations are divided between (a) or (b), and (c) as follows:
- Fast-track or one-year Clinical Courses:
- HSCL 2412 Clin Lab Sci A, is usually held during the fall semester and requires 15 hours a week (M, W, F, five hour mornings).
- HSCL 2518 Clin Lab Sci B, is usually held during the spring semester and requires 24 hours a week (M, W, F, 8 hours).
- Part-time or spring entry Option Clinical Courses:
- HSCL 2405 Clin Lab Sci I, is the first clinical rotation. Usually requires 24 hours per week (M, W, F, 8 hours).
- HSCL 2505 Clin Lab Sci II, is the second clinical rotation. Usually requires 24 hours per week (M, W, F, 8 hours).
- HSCL 2606 Clin Lab Sci III, is usually held during the summer semester. It is the last clinical rotation of the program for both Fast Track and Traditional students; requires eight to ten weeks of 40 hours per week in the hospital, and a Capstone Journal Report.
Clinical hours may begin as early as 3:30 am. Clinical rotation assignments are determined by the Program Director. Clinical site availability: The current list of clinical sites may be found in the CLT Advisement.
