Full-time Pharmacy and Dialysis Technician students must enter Fall quarter and follow the suggested schedule of courses. Students registering for any of the MEDA certificates may enter their program of study at the beginning of any of four quarters. Some key courses are offered only during specific quarters of the year. Students should see the MEDA Department Chair or counselor to help prepare their course schedule. It is strongly recommended that students entering the program be able to read, write, and compute at the college level and have basic keyboarding skills. Students lacking this preparation should consult an advisor for appropriate coursework to raise their skill level. Science courses that are five or more years old cannot be transferred in for credit. Students are encouraged to review suggested schedules and course descriptions to check for prerequisites when planning their course of study.
