• For students applying to a Healthcare Pathway program (except Nursing Assistant), MATC no longer requires a criminal background check as part of the admissions process but it is part of the petition process. You will be asked to complete a form acknowledging that this background check will happen.
  
  MATC will not deny admission to any Healthcare Pathway program based upon the result of the criminal background check. However, agencies who serve as clinical or field placement sites for MATC Healthcare Pathway courses reserve the right to deny a placement based upon criminal background check results. Denial of placement is in the sole discretion of the clinical or field placement agency or site, and MATC does not retain authority or control over denial of clinical or field placement based on criminal background checks.

• If you need financial aid, we strongly recommend that you apply for it as early as possible. Start your FAFSA now at fafsa.gov. Late financial aid applications may not be processed in time, requiring you to enroll in a payment plan. Depending on the time of year that you apply for academic admission, in most cases you may apply for financial aid simultaneously.
