Admission to Health Professions Programs

Chapter 112, Section 103-17, of the Illinois Public Community College Act requires that whenever enrollment in a program must be restricted because of space limitations, a college must give preference to district residents. These regulations apply to the following Health Professions programs:

Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Neurodiagnostic Technology, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Practical Nursing, Radiography, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Medical Coding, LPN to ADN transition.

Consequently, admissions to Health Professions programs for students who live outside of LLCC District 526 vary per program based on space availability and qualified applicant pool. For program specific admissions criteria, contact a Health Professions Student Success Coach, Springfield campus.

General Requirements

Students applying to an allied health program must meet all admission requirements before their application can be considered for admission into the desired health care field. Students in programs which require a clinical practicum must have proof of a physical examination by a private physician recorded on a form provided by the college.
