Students Applying to Limited Enrollment Programs

The following career programs have been identified as limited enrollment programs: Cardiac Technology, Dental Hygiene, Emergency Medical Technician Training, Nursing (RN and LPN) and Basic Nursing Assistant (CNA) training, Home Health Aide, Mammography, Electrocardiograph Technician, Phlebotomy, and Paramedics. Each of these programs has special admission requirements.

Consult the curriculum section of this catalog to determine the specific admission requirements of a particular limited enrollment program.

Selection for these programs is determined by the following: Permanent residents of the Harper College district who complete the application process by the program’s application deadline will receive preferential consideration in the selection process. If, on that deadline date, more completed applications have been received than space available, those students with the highest qualifications will be selected.

A permanent resident of the Harper College district is defined as an individual who:

a) is a citizen of the United States or has established permanent residence (holds an I-551 alien registration card) and
b) resides in the Harper College district for reasons other than attending Harper College.

The Admissions Office shall make the final determination of permanent residency status in relation to the selection process for limited enrollment programs.

Methods of determining eligibility for admission to Limited Enrollment Programs may differ from methods of computing Harper cumulative grade point average.

Because of the nature of clinical experiences and individualized instruction required in some programs, and specialized technology and the equipment necessary to offer these programs, a higher tuition rate is assessed for career specific courses in select programs. Tuition for these courses in this program is 200% of the standard tuition rate.
