Any student who has not attended PSG courses for two or more consecutive semesters cannot be readmitted into the Polysomnographic Technology Program unless qualifying examinations have been passed in sequential order of the course previously completed. These qualifying examinations can be repeated only once. In addition, the student must demonstrate clinical competency by passing a clinical practical examination prior to returning to any of the clinical courses.
Malpractice Insurance – Health Clearance – CPR Certification – Criminal Background Checks
Prior to registration, students entering Polysomnographic Technology courses in which there are laboratory experiences in hospitals and other health agencies, are required to have malpractice insurance, health clearance and a CPR (BLS) certificate and a criminal background check. The insurance policy, CPR (BLS) certificate, and health clearance must be satisfactory for the entire semester. Information on CPR Certification is available in the Nursing Department Office. Information on health requirements is available from the Health Services Office , A-108. CUNY is now providing Polysomnographic Technology students with malpractice insurance thus it is no longer necessary to purchase individual policies.
