| Upon successful completion of the prerequisite required coursework the WCACLS student applies to the second year of the professional program. The applicant must have a cumulative GPA of a least 2.8, and no more than one D in any math or science course and be recommended by their college/university advisor. Applications will be reviewed by the CLS Professional and Academic Standards Committee in CLS.
A summer practicum experience on the UND campus in Grand Forks, ND is required, followed by approximately seven months in a clinical laboratory of a medical center. There are special requirements prior to contact with patients and testing of patient specimens. Several states require a background check prior to work with patients and all clinical affiliates require specific immunizations and testing to be completed (or a signed liability waiver) before entrance to the medical facility. Students are responsible for additional costs that include: travel, housing, food, and summer lab course fees during the second year of the professional curriculum.
The program has clinical affiliation agreements with over 25 medical centers in North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Colorado and Oregon for the clinical experience. A complete list and description of the current clinical sites is available at this web site.
The CLS program reserves the right to place on probation or to cancel the registration of any student whose performance in the classroom or clinical experience is unsatisfactory.
Program accommodations for qualified handicapped persons will be reviewed upon notification of a prospective student's needs and limitations.
