Application Steps

The MLT Program is full for Fall 2012.

There are no orientations currently scheduled.

Submit MLT Application Packet: Applications will be available before Fall 2012 for admission into the Fall 2013 program. We will be accepting applications between January 7 and March 29, 2013. You will need to also supply an unofficial college transcript from any college you have attended other than Portland Community College. Official transcripts may need to be sent after admission to the program. Transcripts should accompany your application or be mailed directly to the Allied Health Admissions office below, not Student Records. If all prerequisite requirements have been met at PCC, the MLT Program will obtain PCC transcripts to verify prerequisite completion. Students new to PCC, or those who have not taken a PCC credit class in the past two years, must apply for PCC College Admission before applying to the Medical Laboratory Technology program. Mail your completed application and transcripts to:

Portland Community College

Note: the department obtains PCC transcripts on all PCC students.

During the session an oral communication assessment will be conducted, and information about the program and application process will be reviewed.

*Distance Learning Program Applicants: Contact the Admissions Specialist to set-up an advising and orientation session with a MLT representative by phone.
