Screening is Orientation By Torn Collins Admission into college programs is dependent raainly on academic re quiremenu. ID most instances tbe screen ing candidates go through is merely stu dent orientation. The screening process may involve psychological testing, orientation to faifiOiarize students «ntta the courses and an evaluation of student potential. This process is basically designed to brief students on course content and to detect spcdric tircaknesses says Al Blakie. registrar^ There arc hurdles a student must over come before being admitted. If it's recom mended by department beads that a stu dent not be admitted be isn't, he says. However, students arc recommended by their high school standing. If they meet the program requirements, which is often a high school diploma, wc have to accept them, says career counsellor Doug Patching. "Our hands are tied." Often a student is conditionally ac cepted and must upgrade academically while taking minimal subjects in his chosen program. If a student doesn't fulHll the re quirements sel out for him in his first senaester."Tbc jig is up," says Blakie. Program screening often makes a stu dent aware cf spedfic deficiencies. A potential student with a handicap that would hinder his chances of employment will be made aware of his opdons. He might bc better suited for a different pro- graun.
