All students who finished their pre-occupational courses in the Fall Quarter of 2007 (200802), and after, are now placed in the Health Programs Eligibility Pool. The policies and procedures for Competitive Admissions and for clearing the Health Programs Waiting Lists can be found in the Health Technologies section of the CVTC Catalog.
