Readmission to a Program
A student who receives a W, D or F in a required, prerequisite, corequisite or program professional course will not be continued in a program. The student may request to be considered for readmission; however, readmission is not automatic.

1. Space in the class is available.
2. Students meet the admission requirements effective for the semester for which they are readmitted.
3. Students meet the specific conditions for readmission set by the Allied Health Readmission Committee.
   NOTE: If more than three years have elapsed since withdrawal from the program, the student must reapply for admission as a new student and repeat all professional course work. Students must complete required laboratory science courses within five years of the admission date with a minimum grade of C. Information concerning readmission may be obtained from the program coordinator of the program of interest.

Articulation
Through articulation agreements with other technical colleges in South Carolina, students may complete all courses except professional courses required for Occupational Therapy Assistant and Physical Therapist Assistant programs at participating colleges. Applicants who wish to articulate into these programs at TTC must contact the advisor at the participating college for assistance. Upon completion of the professional courses in these programs, graduates will receive an associate degree from TTC.
