Admissions Requirements

Admission to Great Lakes Institute of Technology is open to any high school graduate or equivalent (GED) who has the ability to succeed. We believe that academic qualifications are important, but equally important are moral character, maturity level, initiative, and a desire to succeed. GLIT does not admit Ability to Benefit (ATB) students.

All applicants of allied health programs must be at least 17 years of age.

Surgical Technologist, Phlebotomy Technician, Massage Therapist, Patient Care Technician, and Pharmacy Technician applicants must complete a Criminal Record Check (Act 151) through the Pennsylvania State Police. An applicant with a criminal record will be required to meet with the Director of Education and/or Program Director and may be denied admission.

Phlebotomy Technician, Surgical Technologist and Pharmacy Technician applicants must provide evidence of a urinalysis drug screen within 6 months prior to the start date of classes. Evidence of any substance revealed by the screen without a physician’s orders will be cause for denial of admission.

Diagnostic Medical Sonographer applicants must meet the following prerequisites prior to acceptance into the program.

  • College level algebra, statistics, or higher mathematics
  • College level general physics or radiographic physics
  • Medical Terminology

Admissions Policy and Procedures

All applicants must fill out an Application for Admission that includes a $25 application fee. All applicants are required to visit the school for a personal interview and tour the campus prior to final acceptance. Acceptance is granted on a first-come, first-serve basis only to applicants who have completed all admission requirements. Approved funding for the program costs is required prior to starting any program.

A $100 registration fee is required upon acceptance and is fully refundable, upon written request, within 10 days after the start of class, only if no classes have been attended and no materials have been used.

Upon completion of all admission requirements, school administration will review the information and inform the applicant in writing if they have been accepted for enrollment. If an applicant is not accepted, all fees paid will be refunded.

Credit for Previous Learning

Applicants may request credit for prior post-secondary training from another accredited institution. Applicants requesting credit for previous learning must forward an official transcript to Great Lakes Institute of Technology for consideration. The Director of Education will review the transcript for comparable course work and may grant credit for previous learning. If awarded, the student will be advanced to the appropriate level and a tuition credit will occur.
