Post Admission Requirements for Associate Diploma in Veterinary Technology (DVT), Veterinary Technology Alternative (DVTA) and Certificate in Veterinary Assistant and Office Administration (CVAOA). If you have accepted your offer to DVT, DVTA or CVAOA, proof of an adequate titre against rabies is a requirement for continuation of study within the CVOA, DVT and DVTA programs, and you will be required to obtain immunization and provide documentation of an adequate antibody titre before September in your first year of study. The process to obtain your immunization and titre draws can be lengthy and it is recommended that you begin this process as soon as you have accepted your seat in the program. This will enable you to begin participating in hands-on activities as early as September of your first year. If you do not obtain your rabies immunization and/or titre draws ahead of beginning the program, it will delay your eligibility to participate in hands-on activities with live animals that are required by the program. Further information will be provided upon acceptance of your program. | |
