Although possession and use of marijuana for certain medical conditions consistent with the requirements of the Colorado Constitution is no longer a crime in the State of Colorado, the possession and use of marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Consistent with federal law, including the Controlled Substances Act and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, the use and/or possession of marijuana continues to be prohibited for students seeking admission or enrolled in a health program at Morgan Community College. Therefore a student with a drug screening showing positive for use of marijuana is ineligible for admission and/or continuance in program.

• Submit proof of current immunizations**
• Purchase required student liability insurance and make payment for clinical badge at MCC Bookstore prior to clinical courses
• Provide copy of valid American Heart CPR for the Healthcare Provider card
