- Applicants who hold a certificate of attendance or any other award issued in lieu of a diploma are ineligible for admission.

Home school study credentials are accepted for enrollment so long as the home school program of study is equivalent to a high school diploma and is recognized in the student’s home state where the education was provided. All home school study credentials will be evaluated by the Director prior to final acceptance to Pinnacle Career Center.

- Prospective students who currently reside in the United States but attended school in foreign countries must be able to produce the required documents, evidence may include certification from other official sources.
- All prospective students must complete the required admissions documents, and sign the Enrollment Agreement (must be signed by a parent or guardian if the prospective student is under 18 years of age).
Conditions
- A leave of absence is not available to students enrolled in short course classes.
- All prospective students must meet with the director or assistant director for an informational interview, which includes a campus tour.

- Documentation of required health immunizations will be required and this documentation must be submitted prior to the first day of class.
- Students will be required to undergo criminal background checks before being placed in an externship/practicum, clinical or fieldwork rotation or take professional licensing, certification, or registration exams. Students are responsible for inquiring with the appropriate agencies about current requirements prior to enrolling in the program of their choice.
- Students who have prior felony convictions or serious misdemeanors will not be accepted into the center as they may not be able to complete the externship/practicum, clinical or fieldwork portion of the program, which is a requirement for graduation from the program. Additionally, students who have prior felony convictions or serious misdemeanors may be denied the opportunity to take professional licensing, certification, or registration exams, or may be denied a license or certification to practice in some states even if the exam is taken and successfully completed.
- Students are required to pass a drug/chemical substance test that must be completed prior to the start date.

- Once the start of a class is full, all remaining qualified prospective students may be placed on a waiting list for future start dates.
- Prior to beginning a clinical experience, some facilities may require additional documentation, as necessary, to comply with specific federal and/or state requirements for student candidates. Failure to submit appropriate documentation by the deadline will prohibit student candidates from attending clinical sites, which will render them incapable of completing the program and result in their dismissal from the program.
Students enrolled in the short courses must adhere to the attendance/tardiness policy as described within the catalog.
