How does the integration impact the application process for health sciences, medical, and/or lab programs?

There have been no changes for the 2025–2026 application cycle. The integration’s impact on the future application process for health sciences, medical and lab programs has not yet been evaluated but will be reviewed by the appropriate task forces.

The Academic, Student, and Faculty Affairs Task Force and the Health Education Task Force have established the Health Science Center Student Career Planning Working Group to evaluate student recruitment and external application portals, each with its own distinct processes and requirements. This work group inventoried admissions and post-degree program portals that require updates and developed a communication plan for prospective and current students.

The task force remains committed to ensuring a smooth transition and supporting the needs of all students throughout this process.
