Before you meet with a health sciences advisor, apply to AACC and submit official transcripts from prior academic institutions, be sure to meet with an advisor.
If you plan to transfer general education requirements, have your official transcripts sent directly to the college's records and registration office. The official transcripts from all previously attended institutions of higher education must be submitted.
Attendance at an information session is highly recommended prior to submitting the Phlebotomy Technician program application. Call 410-777-7310 for dates, times and locations or view the schedule on AACC's online calendar.
You must demonstrate eligibility for ENG-101/ENG-101A. There are a number of ways this can be done:
See a Health Sciences advisor for more information, or visit our Determine Placement page.
You must have a minimum adjusted grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 to be considered for selection to the Phlebotomy Technician program.
If you have taken general education courses at a nationally recognized institution other than AACC and want to have them transferred in, you must submit official transcripts with your application for review.

Note: A transcript/equivalency certificate is considered official when enclosed in a sealed envelope from the institution or sent electronically by the sending institution. It must also include a graduation/completion date, if applicable, and a school official’s signature. Your application will not be considered complete if the required documentation is not received prior to or at the time your application is submitted.
Foreign educated students must have their college and high school transcripts evaluated by one of the following credential evaluators:
Foreign educated students must successfully pass the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) with a minimum score of 550 (213 is the equivalent computer score and 79 is the equivalent internet-based score) OR must have completed the ENG-101 or ENG-101A and ENG-102 course sequence with grades of C or better prior to applying to the program. If you need to fulfill this requirement, we recommend that you take the TOEFL test as soon as possible, as this requirement can take time to complete. You must have your official score report sent directly to Anne Arundel Community College. Anne Arundel Community College’s code for TOEFL is 5019.
If you are an international student, there may be additional requirements for you. Visit our international student pages to learn more about visa status and other information.
Note: If you do not have a Social Security number, you may not be permitted at some clinical rotation sites and site availability could delay or inhibit your progression in the program. An international student admission specialist in AACC's Admissions and Enrollment Development office may be able to assist students with F-1 visa status to obtain a Social Security number through practical training. Call them at 410-777-2677.
