Matriculated students are those who have formally applied for acceptance into a degree or certificate program and have officially started the program.
Matriculated students must maintain adequate health in the interest of patient welfare and others.
Matriculated students are provided accident insurance through the College. Details of the plan are available from the Bursar.
Clinical-Based Programs: A student must comply with the following requirements to officially start the enrolled program, participate in clinical experiences, including lab and simulation, or progress in the enrolled program:
- Submit required immunization records as directed.
- Sign the Technical Standards document as part of the onboarding process. The term 'technical standards' refers to all non-academic admission criteria that are essential to participation in Healthcare programs at the Maine College of Health Professions
- CPR Certification – A Basic Life Support Provider Course for the Healthcare Professional through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross is required. Students must have BLS CPR certification that expires no earlier than two months beyond the students’ projected program completion date.
- Criminal Background Check – Enrollment in programs with clinical practicum requirements is contingent upon the results of a criminal background check. Background check results may cause a revocation of admission to the College and affect clinical placement and employment as a health professional.
- Complete all required college-wide and program-specific orientations and onboarding requirements.
- To protect the college community and clinical sites, exposure to any communicable disease must be reported to prevent the spread of disease. Students will report exposure to communicable diseases to appropriate clinical personnel. It is the student's responsibility to work safely and take the proper safety precautions so as not to contract or spread such diseases. The program dean or designee will serve as a resource to facilitate this communication.
Non-Clinical Based Programs: A student must comply with the following requirements to officially start the enrolled program:
- Submit required immunization, CPR, and background records as directed, if applicable to the enrolled program.
