There are different application deadlines for each healthcare program. Application deadlines are firm, so please adhere to the ones listed. If you have any questions, please contact a Healthcare Admission Specialist.
The following steps outline how to apply to for-college-credit healthcare programs. If you are not seeking college credit, visit non-degree healthcare training.
Some application steps can take a while to complete, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to submit everything before your program's deadline. There are two main steps to getting started with a Central Piedmont healthcare program: 1) complete all the steps to apply to Central Piedmont, then 2) submit one Health Sciences Admission application for two programs by the program deadline.
Review the Online Health Career Orientation Video.
Review the essential functions and other disclaimers to find which healthcare career program is best for you.
Watch the how to apply to a healthcare program video (coming soon).
Since you need to complete all of the Central Piedmont application steps before you do the program application, start those steps as far in advance as possible so you can get everything turned in by the program deadline (some steps take a few days to complete).
Submit the program application by the deadline listed in the application. For the best user experience, use a desktop or laptop computer and not a mobile device to complete the application. Paper applications are no longer accepted.
