Entry Requirements and Additional Information

 

National Examination 
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, students are eligible to take Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE). State licensing requirements for Veterinary Technicians vary greatly from state to state, therefore graduates should contact the individual state’s licensing bureau for the current requirements. Pass rates for our students are found here.

Academic Advisement 

Each student will be assigned a faculty advisor to assist in advisement and scheduling of courses. The student is responsible for scheduling an appointment to be seen by his/her advisor during the early advisement period. Appointments for advisement during this period should be scheduled through Starfish. Students are required to meet with the assigned faculty member prior to each registration period.

Once an appointment is scheduled, and accepted by the advisor through Starfish, the student is expected to attend the appointment. If the student is unable to attend, they should notify their advisor or the Health Education Division’s administrative assistant in advance of the appointment. If a student misses three scheduled advising appointments, they will be required to meet with the Health Education Dean.

Public Wide Pet Adoption

Tri-County Technical College’s Veterinary Technology Department conducts a Public Wide Pet Adoption event each semester at Halbert Hall on the Pendleton Campus. All animals are on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to insurance regulations, we do not allow other animals on the premises, and we cannot show any animals before adoption day. The adoption fee is $60 cash or check only. This fee includes the animal being spayed/neutered, microchipped with registration, up-to-date on vaccines, and current on heartworm and flea prevention. Dogs have been started on basic commands and leash manners and cats have been socialized. If you have any questions about any of our animals, please contact our adoption coordinator at sbrown6@tctc.edu. Visit our Facebook page to see more animals and updates.
