Completion Requirements - Prerequisite(s). Before starting the program, students must have a high school diploma or high school equivalency diploma and complete all the general education courses. Histology Technicians rely heavily on color appearance. Each student will need to successfully take a color blindness self-test. Please contact your advisor or instructor for details. In order to participate in the clinical aspect of the program, students must receive a “No Record On File” Report related to crimes against persons on a criminal background check. They must obtain an American Heart Association CPR certification and have current immunizations or laboratory verification of immune status, which includes, but is not limited to, Hepatitis B series, Tetanus/Diphtheria, Tuberculosis Test, Measles/Mumps/Rubella, and Varicella, as required by contracts with clinical facilities and CDC recommendations. Proof of immunizations is required by the last day of class in fall quarter, without exception. Students are required to carry personal health/medical insurance throughout their clinical rotations. Quarterly insurance for students may be purchased; further information is available through the Advising and Counseling Office. No student will be allowed at a clinical site without proof of insurance. Our program advisory committee and area clinical sites have identified the following attributes of a successful Histology student: Maintain a professional appearance and attitude at all times. Be willing to accept the challenges of the program and dedicate the year to studying, many hours of studying above and beyond program hours is necessary. Recognize and accept the frustration level in learning new skills. Accept constructive criticism and feedback without anger or hostility. Maintain the physical and emotional challenges of the program. Ability to complete the required volunteer hours above and beyond the program hours. This program requires that the following general education courses be completed prior to the beginning of the first quarter of Histology courses. These general education courses are BIOL& 175 (or BIOL& 241 and 242), CHEM& 110 (or CHEM& 121), and COLL 102. These general education courses must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.0) higher prior to enrollment in the Histology classes. BIOL&/CHEM& must be completed within the last five years.
