Program Interest FormInformation Packet
Disclosure: As a student enrolled in a healthcare training program with Davidson-Davie Community College, you understand that you must complete a clinical field experience with an outside agency as arranged by the college. You further understand, your assigned agency or agencies may have requirements that may differ from those of the college, and that you must meet these requirements to participate in the clinical field experience. Requirements may include but are not limited to criminal background checks, use of specific personal protective equipment (PPE), and specific vaccinations, including those specifically targeted at COVID-19 and/or Influenza (Flu). Failure to meet these clinical stipulations will prevent you from successfully completing program requirements and will result in you being withdrawn from the program. Davidson-Davie Community College will provide direction on the specific requirements for the agencies that are current at the time of enrollment, but you understand that these may change before you reach the clinical experience. In that event, Davidson Davie Community College will provide direction on meeting the requirements and suggest opportunities, if any, to meet any updated requirements. The student will not be entitled to a refund beyond the census date.
