Pre-requisite and Co-requisite Course Completion

Admission to SCHS programs is contingent upon the completion of pre-requisite courses. Program-specific pre-requisite requirements can be found online at www.schs. edu. The application for admission may be submitted before the pre-requisite courses are completed; however, applicants must successfully complete pre-requisite courses PRIOR to final acceptance into the designated program. Grade point average (GPA) calculation for selection purposes will be based on the highest grade achieved by the programmatic admission deadline.

Pre-requisites and co-requisites (general education courses) appear on SCHS transcripts as transfer courses. Pre-requisite College courses and courses considered for transfer credit must appear on transcripts from colleges and universities whose accreditation is recognized by the United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Transfer credits are not included in the computation of a student’s SCHS grade point average
(GPA). The College does not accept credit for experiential learning unless it has resulted in recognized health care licensure or certification. Pass/fail courses will meet the admission requirement and will be recorded with no value in the GPA. Developmental courses will not meet transfer credit requirements.

In addition to official transcripts, course descriptions and/or syllabi may be requested by the Admissions Manager to evaluate pre-requisite courses. Transfer credits will be evaluated and accepted only on evidence that the course content and instruction meet the requirements. The College requires that any non-US transcript or documentation issued be evaluated formally by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) agency. A list of NACES approved international transcript evaluation agencies can be found at www.naces.org. Each program specifies the minimum grade required in pre-requisite and co-requisite courses for admission.

Curriculum co-requisites must be completed by the end of the enrolled term that the course is required. An official transcript must be submitted to the Registrar on or before validation day. If not received by validation day, then the student will be unregistered from their term course(s). The academic calendar should be referenced for term validation dates and the catalog for program curriculum for sequence of co-requisites. The transfer course listing is available on the College website at www.schs.edu. The courses listed are most frequently transferred from other post-secondary institutions, but it is not a comprehensive listing.
