Admissions

Requirements & Procedures
If it is time to change your life, the first step is up to you. Either call or write us at the school to arrange an appointment for an interview with our Admissions Representative. We will help you through every step of starting school. Parents or spouses are encouraged to accompany the prospective student. There is no cost or obligation for the interview. Should you decide to enroll in school, the Admissions Representative will help you with the formal application process.

Listed below are the specific requirements and procedures that Excelle College has established for admission to the college.

1. The student is offered a tour of the school before enrolling.

2. Applicants to Excelle College must be beyond the age of compulsory school attendance and demonstrate the ability to be able to benefit from the training. Applicants are not required to have a GED or high school diploma but we do encourage students to study for and take the estate examination for the GED.

3. All applicants must complete an application for admission written in English.

4. All applicants must complete a timed 30 minute, entrance exam, written in English and pass it with a 75% or better.

5. The school requires a personal interview with the applicant prior to acceptance into all programs. This gives the applicant the opportunity to see the school's equipment and facilities and the opportunity to ask questions relating to the school, the curriculum, and the career training being considered.
The personal interview also gives the school the opportunity to meet the prospective student and to evaluate their desire to become an allied health professional. All students are required to attend an orientation session before classes begin.
You will need to schedule this time before your first day of school.

6. Applicant must complete and sign a financial/ enrollment agreement. Students under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign on their behalf.

Letter of Authorization / Payment
A letter of authorization must precede each student whose fees are paid by an insurance company. Because we offer short-term classes, we require payment within 45 days unless written payment arrangements have been made with the school. If payment has not been made within 45 days, the student may be pulled from class until the account has been brought current. When the student is pulled from class there is a service registration of $100. If the student is not reinstated or formally dropped from class by the second week, a $200 service registration fee charge will be accessed. After 60 days the student will be required to start the program over at full tuition fees due and payable by the first day of class.

Hepatitis B Vaccination
Excelle College requires all students to consult a physician or health care worker of their choice to discuss the Immunization program. Excelle College offers the student the Hepatitis B series of vaccinations through the school.

PPD (TB tine)
Students are required to have a PPD (TB tine) this test is to check for tuberculosis that is commonly found in the lungs. If the test comes back positive then the student will be required to have a chest x-ray to determine if the virus is active. The school does not cover this procedure. Students may be referred to Public Health in San Diego or to their own physician.

Right of Refusal
If a student elects not to have any portion of the Hepatitis B injections and /or Tuberculosis test, they will be required, by the school, to sign a form releasing Excelle College from liability derived from their right of refusal.

Transfer of Credits
Courses taken at Excelle College are not automatically transferable to another institution. The receiving institution controls transfer of credits and accreditation does not guarantee acceptance.

The student will be evaluated by the instructor to determine placement in class. Each student will be determined on an individual basis.
