The number of students accepted into the program is limited to 20 students each fall semester. Applicants not selected for the program may reapply during subsequent admission intake periods. There is no waiting list between intake periods; applicants must complete the application process for each attempt for entry into the program. Applicants who are on academic probation or academically dismissed from the college as of the May 15 application deadline will not be considered for admission.

To receive consideration for admission to the Veterinary Technology program, applicants must submit the following information to the Admissions Office by the May 15 deadline:

Applicants transferring from other colleges must confirm the transferability of equivalent coursework with the director of registration and records before the May 15 application deadline.

NOTE: It is the students responsibility to update any contact information changes that occur after this form is submitted. Make sure a current mailing address is on file with the college.

Program faculty members recommend that applicants to the program have volunteer or paid practical experience in a veterinary hospital or an animal care facility prior to seeking admission to the program. This experience should be under the supervision of a registered veterinary technician or a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine. While there is no specific requirement for the number of hours of experience, it is important that the applicant be fully aware of the profession and job requirements prior to enrolling in the program. Prospective students are URGED to refer to the ATC Catalog for additional information.

Only in the event that the program slots cannot be filled with Georgia residents who meet the minimum admissions criteria can out-of-state students be admitted.
