All students must take the reading portion of the Accuplacer Test. Some students may have already taken an English composition course that is equivalent to the English 101A requirement. Students who do not "clear" English 163 must take English 163 at Ohlone or a reading substitution course (see a counselor for the list). The math requirement can be cleared by taking the Accuplacer math test or taking a math course of Elementary Algebra or higher from an accredited college in the U.S.A.

The Accuplacer Test evaluates English and math competency. This is a placement test with three sections (reading, sentence structure, and math). English 101A or equivalent (ENG 1A) is required for admission. The English reading comprehension requirement is met through "clearing" English 163. The math requirement is met through "clearing" Math 151 (Algebra). Students take the test at the Placement Center in Building 1, fourth floor, Room 1405A.

If for any reason, you need to re-test in one or more areas, you will need to pay a fee of $10 per part.

There may be a great deal of similarity in the future of the ADHP with baccalaureate or master’s degree programs as they may be the host educational institutions for such a program. The ADHP curriculum could become infused into such advanced dental hygiene educational programs.

Whenever a life-limiting illness is present, it is appropriate to discuss options such as hospice. This is a decision that should be made by the patient, in agreement with the family.

The mandatory core courses require that you have a good understanding of GIS, remote sensing and statistics - equivalent to two undergraduate courses in each subject. Any additional knowledge and experience you can gain to bring you up to this level prior to entering the program will be beneficial. You will have a greater number of advanced options available and your scheduling will be much more flexible.

It is always the patients choice to decide when and if he or she would like to get involved with hospice care. It is very important that the patient understand what hospice care is, what hospice can do for him, and what kind of care hospice offers. V-C.A.R.E. is here to offer education not only for the caregivers, but for the inquiring patient to help him make an informed decision.

To enter the program you must complete ASLI 1010 and 1020 with a grade of “B” or better. Students who are new to SLCC beginning Summer 2006 and beyond must also take the CPT or ACT test. Math scores must be above 40 (CPT) or 15 (ACT). Reading scores must be above 81 (CPT) or 20 (ACT). If lower scores are received, remedial courses with a C or better will fulfill the requirement. Additionally, a course in drama, public speaking or debate is required.

The Accuplacer test was developed, standardized and validated by the College Board. It is used at over 300 colleges in the US. We began using it here in 1992. The results are based on your answers to a series of questions. If you do not take the test seriously, or if you are not feeling well when you take the test, the results may be poor.

The College operates on a trimester basis. Students are admitted at the beginning of each September and January. (Specific dates vary depending on the academic calendar.)

No. The choice is left to you, but most people enter the master's program and work on both MSEd courses and deficiency courses each quarter.

It’s appropriate to discuss all care options, including Hospice, at any time during a life-limiting illness. By law, the decision belongs to the patient. Though some people view Hospice as giving up, most Hospice families say that being in Hospice gave them precious quality time with their loved ones.

Yes, you may enroll for up to 12 credits in many programs on a non-degree or non-matriculating basis. Non-degree registration provides graduate credit, which may be applied to a program if you are accepted. Contact the program for course availability. Top of Page.

Attainment of a Masters degree in social work or, in exceptional circumstances, a related discipline. For those specifically applying to the Advanced Practice method, a minimum of two years of post-Masters direct practice experience is strongly preferred.
