Use this Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) application checklist as a guide for successfully completing the application process for the college and the MLT program. All application materials must be received on or before February 15th of each year (If deadline falls on a weekend, the following Monday will be the deadline date).

Complete College Enrollment

For consideration of program admittance, you must have completed Chattanooga State enrollment before the program deadline.  If you are not a current student at Chattanooga State, please complete a College application online. Successful completion of all admission requirements to Chattanooga State entails:

• Submitting all official transcripts, vaccination, proof of citizenship, etc.
• Testing (if applicable)
• Orientation (if applicable)

Go to the admission status page to check on your admission status.

Once College Enrollment is Complete

Meet with an advisor to develop your academic plan. All learning support classes should be completed first (if applicable). Due to the nature and intensity of the program it is recommended that all general education classes be completed before the start of the program, this will significantly lighten the course load. Pre-requisites are required to be completed before the start of the program in May.  

Note: To help you understand the program acceptance process, important details, etc., attend a required MLT information session.

Transfer Student

If taking classes at another college and applying directly to the MLT program, you will need to start the Chattanooga State admission process early. Be sure to include transcripts that you are presently taking even though in progress. As soon as final grades are posted, have your transcript sent immediately to Chattanooga State Admission’s Office to be evaluated. This way you can be fully admitted by the program deadline date.

Program Requirements before Deadline                   

Attend a required information session. You must attend a session in the year leading up to application, even if you have previously attended a session in the prior year.  No late arrivals will be admitted, so don't be late.

To be included in the applicant pool, you must:

• Be fully admitted to the college by the program application deadline
• Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5
• Attend a MLT information session in the year leading up to application.
