Sterile Processing and Distribution Technology
Sterile Processing and Distribution Technology, Certificate of Proficiency
MATH-1140, MATH-1141, MATH-1200, MATH-1270, and MATH-1280 can no longer count towards fulfilling the college-level mathematics requirement. These courses were re-classified as developmental mathematics by the state of Ohio in 2016. Tri-C established a 5-year transitioning window for students who had completed these courses prior to 2016 to apply them towards meeting graduation requirements, which expired in Summer 2021. It is highly recommended to see a counselor to determine the appropriate math required for your current major.

| 1 | BIO-1050 Human Biology is a lecture course only, and may be selected in place of BIO-1100 Introduction to Biological Chemistry if working for the Certificate only. Students wishing to apply coursework to the Surgical Technology degree program must take BIO-1100 Introduction to Biological Chemistry. |
| 2 | Students wishing to apply coursework to the degree program should take MATH-1240 Contemporary Mathematics. MATH-1141 or MATH-1280 taken prior to Fall 2016 will be accepted in place of MATH-1240. MATH-1270 taken prior to Spring 2017 will be accepted in place of MATH-1240. MATH-1141, 1270, and 1280 will meet the College's math requirement for graduation through Summer 2021. |
