The Respiratory Care program accepts 20 students each spring.
Once you meet all the admission requirements and finish the prerequisite courses, you’ll get what’s called an "Eligible-Start Date to be Determined" (ETBD) status. This status is based on when you complete your prerequisites. If more than one student finishes on the same day, the registration date for the final prerequisite course is used to figure out who’s ahead in line.
Getting ETBD status doesn’t guarantee program admittance—it depends on how many seats are available.
The Admissions Office admits students with ETBD status until all seats are filled. Any remaining ETBD students will stay on the list and be contacted if a spot becomes available.
Make sure to keep your contact info updated and check your Hawkeye email regularly to stay on top of everything!
