2. Request official transcripts from all colleges you have attended. Transcripts must be mailed directly to Sherman College from the school of origin.

3. Include lab documentation to verify your lab experience in all science courses in which less than four semester hours of credit were earned per course. A course description from a college catalog is sufficient.

*NOTE: Application is made only for the term specified on the application form. If a student wishes to postpone enrollment, he or she must notify the Admission Office.

As a candidate for admission, each applicant is evaluated individually and admitted to the college on the basis of motivation, scholastic achievement, and an honest desire to join a health care profession. In making its decision, the Sherman College Admission Committee reviews each applicant's academic credentials and personal references.

Sherman College admits only applicants who meet all the qualifications for a chiropractic education. Every candidate for admission is given serious consideration and notified of the decision of the college's Admission Committee once the admission process is complete.

NOTE:
The Sherman College Admission Committee strongly recommends that prospective students complete the Chiropractic College Assessment Test (CCAT), a product of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. This assessment will provide measures of your ability in quantitative reasoning skills, biology, chemistry, and physics. This test can be an important tool for you as a prospective student of chiropractic. The results of the CCAT are highly correlated with success in chiropractic college; however, CCAT is not required for admission to Sherman College.
 

WHEN TO APPLY:
As class size is limited, applicants are advised to submit their application as early as possible to assure a place in the enrolling class of their choice. Doing this will automatically place the student on the college's mailing list to be advised of all updates to the Bulletin and to receive various Sherman College publications.
