“Don’t train to DO something; train to BE something”
It is the goal of the College that students
complete their education. We are often
able to provide assistance that allows the
student to remain in school. However,
under certain circumstances, if it is necessary for a student to withdraw, he or she
must notify instructors and the Academic
Dean immediately for necessary paperwork
completion.

This Policy applies to complete withdrawal from MedTech College. It does not apply to
withdrawal from individual courses. No monies will be refunded for withdrawal from
individual classes after the drop/add period.
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
Federal regulations have been enacted
which state that students may forfeit a
portion of their federal student financial
assistance if they fail to complete the program of study in which they enrolled. This
policy affects students who:
A. Received or were eligible to receive federal student financial assistance authorized under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act (HEA), i.e., Federal Pell
Grants, Federal SEOG awards, or PLUS
loans awarded under the Federal Family
Education Loan (FFEL) or Federal Direct
Student Loan (FDSL) programs;
AND
B. Who, on or after October 7, 2000, withdrew or were terminated from the institution during the first 60 percent of any
payment period (quarter) or period of
enrollment.
Eligible Title IV aid recipients who fail to
complete over 60 percent of a payment
period (quarter) or period of enrollment
are considered to have not earned all of
the federal aid that may have previously
been awarded for that payment period
(quarter) or period of enrollment.
Accordingly, a required calculation will be
performed in accordance with the institu-
tion’s refund policy. In many cases the
Return of Unearned Title IV Funds calculation will result in the student owing tuition
and fees to the institution that would otherwise have been paid with federal student
aid. This policy may also result in the student owing a refund of unearned federal
aid to the Department of Education.
Should a student withdraw from MedTech
College, the unpaid balance of charges
becomes due and payable immediately.
If a student withdraws and does not give
formal notice, thus making the withdrawal
date difficult to establish, the College may
use the mid-point of the payment period
or period of enrollment or a documented
later date of attendance to calculate the
refund to Title IV Funds. The percentage of
the course completed is to be computed
by the time attended. The above percentage refers to the stated course price.
The College must return the unearned aid
for which the College is responsible by
repaying funds to the following sources,
respectively, up to the total net amount
disbursed from each course:
1. Unsubsidized FFEL/Direct Stafford Loan
2. Subsidized FFEL/Direct Stafford Loan
3. Perkins Loan
4. FFEL/Direct PLUS

MedTech College
MEDTECH COLLEGE
College. Funds are awarded according to
need, making it possible for the greatest
number of students, regardless of their
financial circumstances, to continue their
education. Need is defined as the difference between the student’s cost of education and the amount that the student and
student’s family, if applicable, can afford to
pay, known as the Expected Family
Contribution (EFC).
Students who attend MedTech College may
be eligible to participate in the Pell Grant
Program, The Stafford Loan Program (subsidized and/or unsubsidized), as well as the
Parent PLUS program. Students receiving
a Stafford Loan are under an obligation to
repay the loan in a timely fashion. Pell
Grants are sponsored by the United States
Department of Education and do not
require repayment.
FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM
The Federal Pell Grant program is designed
to guarantee low and middle income students, who are eligible for aid, financial
access to the college of their choice. For
eligible students, Federal Pell Grants are
intended to be the basis upon which eligibility for all other aid is determined. Pell
Grants are awarded only to undergraduate
students who have not earned a bachelor’s
or a professional degree.
FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG)
The Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) program is for
undergraduates with exceptional financial
need. Pell Grant recipients with the lowest
expected family contributions (EFCs) will
be considered first for FSEOG. Just like
Pell Grants, the FSEOG does not have to
be repaid.
FEDERAL WORK STUDY
Federal Work Study (FWS) provides parttime jobs for undergraduate and graduate
students with financial need, allowing
them to earn money to help pay education
expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to
the recipient’s course of study.
8
ACADEMIC COMPETITIVENESS GRANT (ACG)
The ACG program is intended to encourage
rigorous study in high school. The eligibility criteria relate to those goals. These
grants differ from other Title IV aid. A student may receive only two ACG awards,
one for the first and second academic
years. The ACG has a set value of $750 for
the first year and $1300 for the second year.
To receive an ACG, student must, among
other criteria:
• be a U.S. Citizen;
• receive a Pell grant for the same award
year;
• be enrolled full time in an associate’s,
bachelor’s, or combined undergraduate/graduate (if it includes at least three
years of undergraduate education)
degree program or in a two-academicyear program acceptable for full credit
toward a bachelor’s degree;
• be enrolled in the first or second academic year of a program of study at an
eligible two-year or four-year degreegranting institution;
• have successfully completed a rigorous
secondary school program of study and
graduated after January 1,2006, for firstyear students and after January 1, 2005,
for second-year students;
• if first-year students, not have been
enrolled previously as regular students
in an ACG-eligible program when they
were still in high school and were at or
below the age of compulsory school
attendance
• if second-year students, have successfully completed their first year and have
a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0
scale
SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS (DIRECT
OR FFEL)
The student secures a Stafford Loan from
a bank, savings and loan association, or
other lending institution. These loans are
insured by a guarantee agency. The borrower may also pay an origination fee to
the lender to help defray the federal government’s cost of the program’s administration. Repayment begins at least/or at a
minimum of six months from the date the
student leaves the College or falls below
half-time status. The loan may be repaid
“Don’t train to DO something; train to BE something”
in payments of not less than $50 per
month through the repayment period.
UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS (DIRECT
OR FFEL)
Students who were not eligible for a
Subsidized Stafford Loan due to their
income, or are independent students, may
borrow an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
Unlike the Subsidized Stafford Loan, the
federal government will not pay the interest on the loan while the student is in
school. However, the Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan will carry the same deferment and interest rate as the Stafford
Loan. The interest may be paid monthly,
quarterly, or may accrue and capitalize.
The insurance and origination fees for the
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan are the same
as a Subsidized Stafford Loan.
FEDERAL PARENT PLUS LOANS (DIRECT
OR FFEL)
These loans can be used to cover expected
family contribution required in determining need in other financial aid programs.
Payments are to be made while the student is in school. The Federal PLUS Loan
carries a variable interest rate, changing
July 1 of each year. There is no annual
limit on a PLUS Loan, but it may not
exceed the student’s cost of attendance.
INDIANA STATE GRANT PROGRAM
Indiana Students may receive grants or
scholarships from the State of Indiana. To
qualify you must show financial need
according to program rules, submit your
FAFSA to the federal processor by March
10, be a legal resident of the state of
Indiana, be an undergraduate enrolled in a
degree program, maintain satisfactory
progress, and not be in default or owe
overpayment on a PELL grant. Indiana
State Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a
bachelor’s degree or a professional degree.
FRANK O’BANNON GRANT
The Frank O’Bannon Grant is awarded to
eligible Hoosiers (Indiana Resident) based
on their financial need. Grant funds are
designated to assist in paying tuition and
fees at eligible institutions. State funds are
appropriated for this award so the value of
the grant varies yearly based on the number of eligible applicants. O’Bannon Grants
are sponsored by the State of Indiana and
do not require repayment.
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY SCHOLARS
MedTech College participates in the
Twenty-First Century Scholars program.
Scholarship recipients must submit a
FAFSA by March 10 of each year for continued participation. Eligible students must
notify the Financial Aid Office upon receipt
of the scholarship.

select Indiana Post-Secondary Institutions,
including MedTech College. This scholarship is awarded to African-American residents of Marion County, Indiana.
Applicants must also meet the entrance
requirements and be admitted to MedTech
College.
As a participating college, MedTech
College awards a number of Bowen
Foundation scholarships. The number of
scholarships is twelve actively enrolled
students at any time. The scholarship
award is $500 quarterly based on “full
time” enrollment. Contact the MedTech
College Financial Aid Office for additional
information or an application.
MedTech College
Opportunity Grant
Grants of $2,000 toward tuition for degree
programs are available.
Individuals who are either not eligible for a
Pell Grant or whose grant does not exceed
$2,000 may apply for one of the four available opportunity grants. Each applicant
must demonstrate financial need and
explain, in writing, why he or she wishes to
attend MedTech College. In determining
who will be awarded a grant, the Executive
Director and Director of Financial Aid will
form an independent selection panel and
will review each essay. Their recommendations will be the final deciding factor with
regard to the awarding of grants. All grants
are awarded on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
Students receiving an Opportunity Grant
must maintain Satisfactory Academic
Progress in their programs to remain eligible for the full award.
In the case of withdrawal, the percentage
of any opportunity scholarship or grant
applied to a student’s tuition account at
the College will be pro-rated in the same
proportion as the tuition charges, as determined by the institution’s published
refund policy. For example, if a student
has withdrawn and tuition charges are calculated at 40 percent of the student’s program, the percentage of the opportunity
grant which will be applied toward his or
her tuition would be 40 percent of his or
her original award. If a grant recipient
completes his or her educational objective
(or more than 60 percent of the applicable
quarter), the entire grant will be earned.
For further information on any financial
aid or scholarship programs, please contact the financial aid office.
Personal Financial Planning
MedTech College is committed to offering
each student personalized financial planning assistance. Once a student has
applied to MedTech College, an individualized and personal financial planning
appointment is scheduled. Our goal is to
make college affordable and to create a
financial plan to help students achieve
their educational goals.

or the grade of Incomplete will be changed
to an F.
ADVANCED STANDING CREDIT
(NOT APPLICABLE TO NURSING PROGRAMS)
Students may be awarded credit at
MedTech College by means other than regular enrollment and completion of a
course. This awarded credit is noted on
the academic record as follows:
CE – CREDIT BY EXAM – Awarded on the
basis of achievement in course examination. Once a class has been attempted, the
student cannot test for credit by examination. Credit by examination may be
attempted only once per course.
CT – CREDIT TRANSFER – MedTech
College reviews credits earned at most
other accredited post-secondary institutions for transfer of credit. Courses transferred to MedTech College must have a
grade of C or better and be at the college
level of 100 or above. MedTech College
does not accept experiential learning
12
credits.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by
dividing quality points by earned hours
per grading period. CGPA (Cumulative
Grade Point Average) is the cumulative
GPA of the grading periods combined.
RECORD FORMAT
MedTech College coursework is reflected
on a computer-generated record. Official
transcripts bear the raised seal of the college and are signed by the Academic
Dean.
CREDIT SYSTEM AND CALENDAR
The MedTech College calendar is based on
the quarter system. A standard quarter
contains at least 12 weeks of instruction,
including final exams.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
In order to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress toward a
degree in a program offered at MedTech
College, a student must maintain a specified cumulative grade point average (CGPA)
as well as proceed through the program at a
pace leading to completion of the program
in the specified time frame. Evaluation
points and standards of satisfactory academic progress are described below and apply to
all students.
Advanced standing credit (credit transfer
or credit by examination) does not impact
satisfactory academic progress in either
CGPA or credits attempted or earned. The
total number of advanced standing credits
awarded will be subtracted from the total
program credits in calculating 1.5 x the
program length.
A grade of W does not impact satisfactory
academic progress in terms of GPA or
CGPA but does affect satisfactory academic progress in terms of credits attempted
or earned.
Qualitative Evaluation
Students receive a numeric grade according
to the grading system (scale) above.
Students are evaluated according to their
cumulative grade point average (CGPA). A
student is required to achieve a 2.0 CGPA
and meet the required completion rates to
“Don’t train to DO something; train to BE something”
graduate.
Maximum Time Frame or
Required Completion
Rate Evaluation
The maximum time frame allowed for a
student to complete a program is one and
one-half times the number of required
credits. The maximum time frame is calculated for each student and is reduced or
increased to reflect course exemptions,
credit transfers, or changes in programs.
Students are evaluated according to credit
hours attempted versus credit hours completed.
Minimum Standards of
Satisfactory Academic Progress
and Evaluation Points
A student’s satisfactory academic progress
will be evaluated according to specific minimum standards at specified evaluation
checkpoints of credits attempted. For the
purpose of determining “credits attempted”, all courses in which the student is
enrolled after the drop period are included.
At all non-mandatory evaluation points, if a
student falls below a CGPA of 2.00 or completion rate below 67% a written counseling
form will be issued by the Academic Dean
which puts the student at risk of failing to
meet satisfactory academic progress
requirements.
Calculating Evaluation
Points and Standards
Students are evaluated quantitatively and
qualitatively on a quarterly basis. Students
not meeting minimum standards of quarterly and cumulative GPA at quarterly evaluations will be placed on academic probation. Students are also expected to
achieve minimum standards at specific
points within their program. Students not
meeting these minimum standards will be
placed on probation or suspended. Listed
below are the probation and suspension
points and minimum qualitative and quantitative standards required.

Qualitative Standards (CGPA)
Students are evaluated according to their
cumulative grade point average at each
evaluation point. At the first mandatory
evaluation point, the student must achieve
a 2.0 CGPA or higher. On subsequent evaluations, this standard will remain the
same until the student reaches any of the
following:
• The maximum allowable credit attempts
for the program
• Sufficient credits completed to graduate
• Credits equivalent to two academic
years (a student not meeting standards
of satisfactory academic progress after
two academic years will not be eligible
for federal financial aid and must be dismissed, unless the student wishes to
continue without being eligible for federal financial aid).
Quantitative Standards
(Completion Rate)
Students are evaluated according to their
credits attempted. At the first mandatory
evaluation point, the student must achieve
a successful cumulative completion rate of
55% or higher. Subsequent evaluation
points require specific minimum standards. These standards increase to a minimum of 65% of the maximum allowable
credits attempted (1.5 x program length)
for a program.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Probation and Suspension
Students at MedTech College not achieving the minimum standards either CGPA
or completion rate at a required evaluation point, will be placed on academic probation.
At the end of the probationary quarter, if
the student has not met the minimum
CGPA and/or completion rate requirements, the student will be reevaluated and
55%
60%
65%
suspended. If this is a non-mandatory suspension point, the student will remain on
probation. Students meeting the cumulative minimum standards at the end of the
probationary quarter will be considered to
be making satisfactory academic progress
and will be removed from probation.
Students not achieving the minimum standards, either CGPA or completion rate at a
mandatory suspension checkpoint will be
suspended from the school. After one
quarter the student may re-enter and
attempt the same major only if they have
not exceeded the maximum time for completion of their program of study.
Students placed on academic probation
may still be eligible for federal financial
aid.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Appeals
Students who wish to appeal a grade or
probationary status must submit their
requests in writing to the Academic Dean
within three (3) days of the start of the
subsequent quarter or notice of probationary status. Appeals will be reviewed by a
committee comprised of the Director of
Financial Aid, the Academic Dean, and the
Executive Director. The student will be
informed in writing of the decision of the
committee by the end of the add/drop
period of the subsequent quarter.
Extended Enrollment Status
Students not meeting minimum standards
of satisfactory academic progress may be
placed in an extended enrollment status. A
student in extended enrollment status is
not eligible for federal financial aid. All
credits attempted while on extended enrollment status count in the calculation of
maximum time frame for completion. In no
case may a student exceed one and onehalf the required number of credits for a
degree program.
Course Repeats
The credits for all repeated courses will be
included in credits attempted for the purpose of determining the satisfactory
progress evaluation checkpoint. A student
may repeat a failed course two times. The
third attempt of any course will be at the
students’ personal expense and financial
assistance in the form of loans or grants
may not be used. In the event that the
repeated course is a Core course, the student must attain a passing grade of “C” or
better or he/she will not be permitted to
continue in the program. The highest grade
received will replace any previous course
grade in the calculation of the cumulative
grade point average.
MedTech College
MEDTECH COLLEGE
Incomplete Courses
Credits for all incomplete courses will be
counted as credits attempted but not
earned in the quarter of enrollment.
Incomplete grades must be completed by
the last day of the drop/add period of the
subsequent quarter. An incomplete grade
not completed by the deadline will be
changed to an “F” and will be included in
the calculation of the cumulative grade
point average.
Program Transfers/Additional
Credentials
Students interested in transferring programs or pursuing additional credentials
may do so at the discretion of the
Academic Dean. The student must meet
the minimum entrance requirements for
the program (where applicable) he/she is
transferring to. Students must transfer all
relevant courses, therefore, shortening the
maximum time frame in the program.
Transfer courses are counted in the completion rate and calculated into CGPA.
Courses that are not relevant to the new
program will not be transferred or calculated into CGPA or completion rates according to satisfactory academic progress standards.

Non-Discrimination Policy
MedTech College admissions policy prohibits discrimination and harassment of
anyone for reasons of race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, age, disability, or status as Vietnam-era or special disabled veterans. Retaliation by MedTech College, its
employees, or its students, against any

unlawful harassment or unlawful discrimination is prohibited. We will continue to
promote and provide equal opportunity in
education and training programs, employment, admissions, and all other activities
for faculty, staff and students.
Academics
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend all classes. Attending class each period is crucial
to your success as a student in the medical field. Employers believe that your college attendance is a strong indicator of
what your attendance will be on the job.
As a result, many employers check school
attendance records prior to interviewing a
graduate.
Students are required to attend 84% in
each course they take. Specifically, every
course taken requires an 84% attendance
rate or the student will be dropped from
that class. The student will have to retake
the class and will be charged tuition and
all applicable fees.
“Don’t train to DO something; train to BE something”
General Education Courses
General Education Courses at MedTech
College include: EN140 – English
Composition; MA141 - College
Mathematics; PS101 – Psychology; BIO105
- Introduction to Biology; HS150 –
Anatomy and Physiology I; HS151 Anatomy and Physiology II; HM104 Humanities, Western Traditions. These

syllabi as a result of input received from
employers served expressing the critical
need for development in these areas.
General Education courses may not be
substituted with another course in the student’s program.
General Education Courses must be completed with a passing grade (D-) or better
in order to complete Allied Health programs offered at MedTech College and earn
enough credits to culminate in an
Associate Degree.
Non-Core Courses
Non-Core Courses are identified in the
Curriculum Offerings relative to each program offered. Non-Core Courses must be
completed with a passing grade (D-) or
better in order to complete Allied Health
programs offered at MedTech College and
earn enough credits to culminate in an
Associate Degree.
Core Courses
All core courses in each program are
designed to elevate the level of integrity of
each individual major field of study.
Students must achieve a grade of “C”
(73%) or higher to successfully pass the
course. A grade of C- or below for a core
course is considered failing and must be
retaken in order for the student to earn
credit towards graduation. Core courses
may not be substituted with another
course in a student’s program. Students
may only attempt core courses a maximum of three times. If students do not
pass a course identified as core in their
program after the third attempt, they are
counseled out of the program.
MEDTECH COLLEGE
A student who has been enrolled at
MedTech College may obtain a copy of
his/her own academic record in person at
the Administrative Office by completing a
transcript request form. A transcript can
also be obtained by writing the
Administrative Office. There is an $8.00 fee
for official transcripts which is payable in
advance. MedTech College offers one transcript at no charge upon meeting all graduation requirements. In order to receive an
official transcript, the student must have
satisfied all financial obligations to
MedTech College.
Transfer of Credit Policy
Upon the approval of the Academic Dean,
MedTech College will transfer credit for
completed courses from other institutions
accredited by agencies recognized by the
United States Department of Education.
To request transfer of credit, a student
must inquire with the Academic Dean or
the Academic office and provide an official
transcript. The Academic Dean reserves
the right to request additional information
on the course that has been requested for
transfer.
MedTech College does not accept experiential learning credits.
- All transferable credit must have earned
a grade of “C” or better and be at the college level of 100 or above.
- The course content of the material considered for transfer must match the
course content of the course intended for
transfer.
- A minimum of 75% of total program
credits must be completed at MedTech
College in all programs. Up to 25% of
credits may be transfer of credit or credits earned through advanced standing
tests. (Not applicable to Nursing programs.)
Transfer of Credit
to Another Institution
It is always up to the receiving institution
as to whether they will accept credits from
another institution. Therefore, credits
earned at MedTech College are not necessarily transferable to other educational
institutions.
MedTech College’s programs are career
focused and are not specifically designed
for transfer to other institutions. However,
many institutions with programs similar to
MedTech College may allow credit transfer
or permit students to receive credit
through examination in specific courses.
Advanced Standing Tests
(Test-Outs)
Credit may be awarded for demonstrated
proficiency in a subject that a student has
not attempted at MedTech College.
Advanced-standing tests or “Test-Outs” may
be arranged through the Academic Dean on
an appointment basis. A student must
achieve an 89% or higher to successfully
pass the “test-out.” The examination can be
attempted only once.
Not all courses will have a test-out due to
the clinical or dynamic nature of the
course.
Quarterly Academic Recognition
MedTech College recognizes outstanding
performance at the Student Awards
Ceremony each quarter. Outstanding
Performance Awards issued and requirements for each are listed below:
Graduation Honors
MedTech College recognizes outstanding
performance during the graduation ceremony. Those students who have achieved
a CGPA of 3.85 or higher are recognized for
highest distinction and those who have
achieved a CGPA of 3.75 to 3.84 are recognized for distinction. Also recognized during the ceremony are those students who
have demonstrated excellence in attendance.
Career Placement Assistance
MedTech College’s goal is to produce graduates who fulfill the evolving needs of the
community in which it serves. A “portfolio”
course is required in each major and
instructs the students on current techniques for resume and cover letter writing,
interviewing, and contacting employers.
The Director of Career Services is in continual contact with local employers and
assists in arranging interviews for graduates.
Graduates qualify for career planning and
assistance when they complete the academic program in good standing, meet
current financial obligations, and complete
an application form with the Career
Services Department. Graduates of
MedTech College are eligible for placement assistance throughout their careers.
MedTech College does not guarantee
employment; it is up to the graduate to
pursue a proactive career search in conjunction with the Career Services
Department’s assistance.

BIOTECHNOLOGY†
School of Allied Health
Associate of Applied Science Degree Program Length: 6 Quarters**
Concentrations: Basic Biotechnology, Forensics, and Bioterrorism
BIOTECHNOLOGY - Basic Biotechnology Concentration This AAS degree program provides both theoretical and practical knowledge of the biotechnology field. The field of
biotechnology has emerged as a major contributor to the advancement of pharmaceuticals, the disease process, agriculture and the environment in which we live. The program
prepares students for laboratory technician positions in biotechnology research and
examines cellular processes, genetic engineering and DNA analysis, molecular research,
and environmental bioremediation. Graduates of this entry-level program will be able
to work in many exciting areas of biotechnology, such as human genetic disease
research, disease cure breakthroughs, enhanced crop production, genome sequencing
projects, environmental pollution management, and pharmaceutical research. Places of
employment include biotechnology, pharmaceutical and manufacturing companies, as
well as specialized laboratories that include sterility control, quality control and validation.
Biotechnology – Bioterrorism Concentration Explored in this concentration of biotechnology is the examination of homeland security, law enforcement and the bureaucracy
that accompanies terrorism and bioterrorism not only in the United States but around
the globe. This concentration describes specific biological agents and threats, emphasizes rapid diagnosis or exposure and details effective interventions including prevention
of secondary contamination of health care workers. Chemical, biologic, toxicologic,
nuclear and explosive threats are each addressed using a systematic diagnostic format.
This concentration of biotechnology begins with an overview of national and international terrorism. Emphasis throughout the program is on how to prepare communications
center staff and their families for a terrorist event by providing them with well-thought
out employee emergency plans and contingencies. This concentration is also geared
towards working to coordinate the efforts of first responders, local, state and federal
resources that follow any terrorist or bioterrorism attack. Employment opportunities
include governmental agencies, local, state and federal agencies, first responders, medical and scientific laboratories as assistants, and manufacturing plants as assistants to
scientist and engineers in the biotechnology field.
Biotechnology – Forensic Concentration
Explored in this concentration of biotechnology, forensic science is a field of science
dedicated to the methodical gathering and analysis of evidence to establish facts that
can be presented in a legal proceeding. Those who collect forensic evidence must follow
strict procedures to protect the evidence from getting contaminated or destroyed, and
must preserve the chain of custody. Included in this concentration is crime scene investigation and forensic psychology. Science courses taken in the major part of this program build upon the skills needed to assist in the investigation of a crime scene and utilize the application of science to the solution of crimes. Also, the science courses aid
the student in the understanding of forensic psychology, or the profile of an individual,
who may or may not commit certain crimes and the evidence that they may leave
behind. Employment opportunities include local and state police department lab assistant positions, federal agencies, medical and scientific laboratories assisting scientists
and chemical engineers, and assisting lawyers with the results of evidence.

MEDTECH COLLEGE
MedTech College
Practical Nursing Program
Mission
The mission of the MedTech College Practical Nursing Program is to prepare
student nurses for professional nursing practice in the state of Indiana. The
program helps develop empathy and assists student nurses to express caring as
a fundamental characteristic, which is vital to the nursing process.
The School of Nursing promises to provide a learning environment that is
responsive to the needs of a diverse student population and that stresses rigorous
high quality education in a caring, personalized atmosphere. Behaviors such
as critical thinking, strong work ethic, patience, and reflection on experience
are all integral parts and form a basis for the practice of practical nursing. This
mission is congruent with the needs of all Indiana residents, which is
to provide quality education, fulfill economic needs, help eliminate nursing
deficits in healthcare, to provide cultural awareness and to aid in the
School of Nursing
advancement for all citizens.

“Don’t train to DO something; train to BE something”
MEDTECH COLLEGE
Purpose
Incorporate best practices in nursing and education.
Instill professional ethics and standards as a vital component of nursing practice.
Admit and retain a diverse population of students and faculty.
Instill fundamental characteristics such as empathy, caring, nurturing and critical thinking in the student nurse population.
Provide Indiana residents with professional, high quality Licensed Practical Nurses to ensure healthcare needs are met among all individuals.
Philosophy
The faculty of MedTech College School of Nursing believes that the educational opportunity in nursing should be made available to
those who meet the admission requirements regardless of race, color, creed, sex, marital status, age or handicap.
We further believe the framework of the nursing curriculum must be based on the four traditional elements of the nursing philosophy:
Nursing, person, health, and the environment.
Nursing
The nursing faculty believes nursing is both an art and a science through which nurses provide caring assistance and empathy to persons within our society. Nursing is an evidence-based discipline that is practice-oriented. The practical nurse is an integral part of the
health care team, functioning under the direction of the physician, or registered nurse. Nurses utilize the nursing process, a systematic
methodology of assessment, data collection, planning, implementation, and evaluation, in the care of clients. The goal of the process
is to perform those activities that will either contribute to the client’s optimal health, recovery, or dignified death.
Person
Person represents all individuals, families, and communities in continuous interaction with an ever-changing environment. All individuals are unique, complex, multidimensional beings who possess worth and dignity. Individuals have basic physical, psychological, and
spiritual needs. However, culture, values, and health practices must be acknowledged in the individual plan of care.
Health
Health, defined as a state of being and becoming an integrated and whole person, exists on a continuum. Health is dynamic, fluctuating throughout the lifespan, causing the client to experience varying levels of wellness, disease, and deficits. A client’s state of health is
influenced by adaptation to internal and external environmental stressors. Health is also influenced by a client’s perception, culture,
growth and development, and inherent abilities. Nurses focus on promoting adaptation to the various influences to assist the client
to achieve the most positive health outcomes.
Environment
The nursing faculty believes learning is a life long active process of gaining new knowledge, facilitating change and solving problems.
Learning involves thinking and perceiving abilities, and the application of previously acquired knowledge and experience. The nursing
faculty believe learning is more likely to occur when the student nurse is the center of the learning process and student motivation is
supported by clear expectations. Opportunities for this process are provided by interactive groups, classroom lecture and theory, laboratory and clinical settings supported by demonstration and return demonstration. Learning is a process which evolves from simple to
complex and from constructivism to abstract thinking. The nursing faculty encourages critical thinking by fostering the use of observation and categorization, moving to application and analysis. We acknowledge that individuals learn at different rates and in different
ways, necessitating innovative, flexible, varied teaching methods and techniques utilizing the latest technology.
School of Nursing
The environment encompasses all internal and external influences that constantly affect the human being. It is created by society, therefore, it is influenced by values and expectations. The environment can be either a negative or positive influence on the person.
Environment is also the setting in which the client receives health care.

Registered Nurse Program
Mission
The mission of MedTech College Registered Nurse Program is to serve our local
community, the state of Indiana and the nation by educating its future Registered
Nurses to a recognized standard of excellence. We, as a faculty, are committed to
helping to promote success in our nursing students. The program helps develop
empathy and assists student nurses to understand that “humanity” is the central
theme as well as the fundamental characteristic to our program. The School of Nursing
promises to provide a learning environment that is responsive to the needs of a diverse
student population and that stresses rigorous high quality education in a caring,
personalized atmosphere. Fostering a learning environment that encourages behaviors
such as critical thinking, strong work ethic, patience, caring and reflection on experience
are all integral parts and form a basis for the practice of professional nursing. This
mission is congruent with the needs of all Indiana residents, which is to provide quality
education, fulfill economic needs, help eliminate nursing deficits in healthcare, to

We further believe the framework of the nursing curriculum must be based on the five
traditional elements of the nursing philosophy: Nursing, person, health, environment
and optimal well-being.

Optimal Well-Being
For MedTech College School of Nursing, optimal well-being is viewed as a desired state on the wellness-illness continuum. As individuals progress
through life, optimal levels of wellness can be achieved through a process of environmental and physical adaptation. Illness occurs when an individual’s level of wellness diminishes as a result of alterations in function.

MEDTECH COLLEGE
Clinical Rotations
PRACTICAL NURSING PROGRAM
Thirty contact hours (clinical experience)
will equal one college credit hour. Nursing
students begin clinical rotations in the 3rd
quarter of their 5 quarter program, which
will provide the students with 36 weeks of
clinical training experience. Student nurses will be on clinical rotation 1/2 to 2 days
per week for the last 3 quarters of the program. This will total 20 hours per week in
Quarter 3 and 20 hours per week in
Quarter 4. In Quarter 5 the student will
spend 10 hours a week in clinical rotation.
This will be a total of 510 contact hours of
clinical rotation experience, over a 9
month time period, which is the equivalent of 17 college credit hours. With each
“clinical rotation” course, there will be 10
hours of lecture two days prior to the clinical day.
Student nurses on clinical rotation days
should expect a varied schedule from dayto-day due to the limited availability of
clinical sites and the patient load. If a student clinical day is scheduled from 8:30am
until 4:00pm, it would not be unusual for
the student to be dismissed late due to an
influx of duties on a day-to-day basis. All
student nurses are expected to plan for a
varied and flexible schedule during clinical
rotations.
ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE –
REGISTERED NURSE PROGRAM
The MedTech College Registered Nurse
program is a 24-month program on a 12week quarter system. The students begin
their clinical rotations in the 6th quarter of
their 8 quarter program, which will provide
the students with 36 weeks of clinical
training experience over a 24-month period.
Student nurses will be on clinical rotation
1 to 2 days per week for three quarters. In
Quarters 6 and 7 the students will rotate
for a total of 120 hours per quarter.
Quarter 8 will consist of 60 hours in rotation. With each “clinical rotation” course,
there will be 10 hours of lecture two days
prior to the clinical day.
Attendance Policy
Core Courses
Students are expected to attend all classes. Attending class each period is crucial
to your success as a student in the medical field. Employers believe that your college attendance is a strong indicator of
what your attendance will be on the job.
As a result, many employers check school
attendance records prior to interviewing a
graduate.
All core courses in each program are
designed to elevate the level of integrity of
each individual major field of study.
Students must achieve a grade of “C”
(73%) or higher to successfully pass the
course. A grade of C- or below for a core
course is considered failing and must be
retaken in order for the student to earn
credit towards graduation. Core courses
may not be substituted with another
course in a student’s program. Students
may only attempt core courses a maximum of three times. If students do not
pass a course identified as core in their
