APPLICATION
The Veterinary Technology Program is a two-year open enrollment program requiring an application for admission.
1. All minimum prerequisites (above) must be completed prior to application for admission into the program. If courses are “in progress” at the time of application, verification of satisfactory completion of those courses will be required before a final acceptance is granted.
2. Applications are available online at: www.foothill.edu/bio/programs/vettech and from the Biological & Health Sciences Division office. The completed application must be submitted along with all supporting documents by the June 1st deadline for the program starting the following September.
3. General application to or enrollment at Foothill College does not imply acceptance into the Veterinary Technology Program. Registration for program courses is not allowed until after the applicant has
been notified in writing of official acceptance into the VT program.
4. Applicants will be notified of the final status of their application by mail by July 15.
5. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the maximum capacity of the program, selection will be based solely on the date and time the completed application packet is received.
6. Students must meet program Technical Standards that can be found on-line with the program application.

Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree in these pre-professional programs ordinarily follow the Biological Sciences or Chemistry curricula. All students must complete the general education requirements in order to earn the A.A. or A.S. degree. Students should become familiar as soon as possible with the requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer. Students should choose electives only after consulting with an advisor. All course prerequisites must be met.

To be eligible for a baccalaureate degree in eight semesters from the University of Arkansas at Monticello, a student must file a Program of Study approved by
his/her advisor and the academic department chair upon entering the University. The Program of Study must contain a minimum 124 semester hours of
unduplicated credit at the 1000-level or above, 40 of which must be upper-level credit hours. Students planning to teach should review the certification
requirements provided by the School of Education. Specific degree requirements are listed at the end of the Program of Study. The Program of Study is for
informational purposes only; it is the responsibility of the student to fulfill all requirements for graduation at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. The
Program of Study is subject to change as academic program changes are needed to comply with the Arkansas Department of Higher Education regulations.
NOTE: Some courses require pre-requisite and/or co-requisite classes. UAM reserves the right to substitute courses. Contact the department chair for specific
information. Some courses may only be offered during specific semesters. Students who score below the required minimum level on placement exams will be
required to take additional credit hours as part of this University’s developmental education program. See the current academic catalog for more information.
