The Competitive Admissions process compares the academic strength of applicants with respect to the academic preparation required for a specific Health Science program. The Admissions Office assesses each applicant’s academic performance in the math and science background required for the competitive Health Science program to which they have applied.

All applicants must meet the admissions criteria for the program to which they have applied to be considered. Offers of admission are made based on an applicant’s academic strength (grades in the required subjects and high school average or college GPA) compared to other applicants and the number of seats available in a particular program. Meeting the minimum math level and science course background does not guarantee admission.

The Admissions Office begins taking applications for the following fall semester on February 1 of the year preceding entry.

For first consideration to any competitive programs beginning in the Fall semester, an application form and all official academic records (transcripts) required by the College must be received in the Admissions Office by the deadline date. Incomplete applications will not be considered. This includes high school transcripts, transcripts of college work, and any special program requirements, such as TEAS scores for the Nursing program or LPN license for the Nursing Advanced Placement program. Applications received or completed after the deadline date may be considered if a specific program has remaining seats available.

Please note that transcripts from all undergraduate coursework taken at all colleges must be submitted for an application to be considered complete. This includes attendance at a college for only one course.

High School Students-If you have taken or are taking college/university in the high school courses, you will need to submit those college transcripts.

The number of students admitted to both the A.A.S. Nursing and A.A.S. Radiologic Technology program is determined by the amount of clinical rotations we are allowed from our clinical partners and the capacity that we can maintain.

Students who do not have the necessary academic preparation to apply for admission into a competitive health program or who are not provided an offer to the program for which they applied, may enroll in courses at the college as a non-matriculated student or into the Health Studies AAS or Health Science AS degree. This may help strengthen an applicant’s academic background for future application to one of these programs.

Please note that completion of preparatory coursework and/or of one of those programs does not guarantee future admission into a competitive health program. Students will still need to go through the competitive admissions process.

Should a student be accepted into a competitive health science program in the future while enrolled in either the Health Studies AAS or Health Science AS, their major will be changed to the new program via the Admissions Office.

The Health Studies A.A.S. degree is designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills needed to enter the workforce during or after completing their studies. It is also the ideal degree to help students prepare for entry into one of the competitive health science programs. Learn more about the Health Studies A.A.S. program.

The Health Science A.S. degree is a rigorous program, preparing students to transfer into a four-year institution upon graduation to pursue advanced degrees in the health science field. Students will take biology, math, and chemistry during their studies and should have a strong background in these subjects to be successful in this program. It is a fantastic degree option for students who love science and healthcare and want to go to a four year school! Learn more about the Health Science A.S. program.

Graduates of the competitive programs in Health Sciences are required to meet the criteria established by the Office of the Professions licensing boards of each profession. This includes being of good moral character. Individuals who have been found guilty of a felony, or pleaded guilty to a felony, may potentially not meet eligibility requirements for certification and/or licensure by some agencies and organizations. In some cases, this means that an individual would not be able to be employed in that profession upon graduation. Some certification or licensure agencies may grant waivers based on mitigating circumstances. Students should contact the relevant certifying or licensing agency directly for more information about eligibility.

The ATI Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) Assessment measures general knowledge in various content areas. Performance indicates readiness to begin a course of nursing studies and is a predictive measure of future success in the SUNY FMCC Nursing program.

ATI is partnering with Proctorio to virtually proctor assessments. Proctorio is a remote proctoring platform that uses machine learning to proctor students from wherever they may be. Proctorio offers a variety of secure exam settings including video, audio, and screen recording designed to maintain the integrity of the assessment and ensure uncompromised exam results.
