Program Completion/Readmission Policy
A. It is neither implied nor stated that a student enrolled in the Respiratory Therapist Program will complete their degree in a two year period. Actual program completion time will be determined by successful fulfillment of all program requirements. The time required for program completion will be affected by successful completion of all program requirements on a timely basis, student’s course load per semester, and the availability of faculty, classes and laboratory competencies.
B. Students who withdraw or are unable to progress in the Respiratory Therapist program ma y apply for readmission. The Respiratory Therapist Admissions Committee will consider readmission requests on an individual basis. Decisions regarding readmission will be based on program readmission policies in effect at the time of request and availability of openings. Students must apply for readmission by writing a letter to the Respiratory Therapist Admissions Committee, Respiratory Therapist Program, Wallace Community College, 1141 Wallace Drive, Dothan, AL, 36303. To allow timely scheduling of the readmission examination, this letter should be postmarked no later than 60 days prior to the desired date of readmission. Failure to submit this request on time will result in denial or delay of readmission. To complete readmission requirements, students must achieve a passing score (80%) on a readmission examination. The readmission examination will be composed from the content of the last Cumulative Clinical Proficiency Examination and Clinical Skills Examination successfully completed by the student. Failure to achieve a passing score on the readmission examination will result in denial of readmission.
