News & Updates  

Rabies exposure is an occupational hazard for all members of the veterinary healthcare team, and preventive measures are necessary to protect personnel. The RVT Program will be instituting a policy that requires all RVT students be fully rabies vaccinated prior to contact with any live animals per the AVMA CVTEA accreditation policies and procedures. For more information, please visit CDC Pre-exposure Prophylaxis

FALL 2023 RVT APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

If you are still interested in the RVT Program, continue to check our Mt. SAC Vet Tech website for updated Program information and follow the guidelines in "Application Information." Spring 2024 applications are expected to open in mid-November. We will be accepting a limited number of applications, on a first come, first served basis.

Prospective Students

In order to register for RVT courses (course prefix AGHE), you must:

1. Be a Mt SAC student,
2. Declare RVT as your major,
3. Fill out the online RVT program application,
4. Be invited to the mandatory Program Orientation, and
5. Complete additional paperwork discussed at the Orientation

Also, if you have not been enrolled in an AGHE class at Mt. SAC for two consecutive major terms (i.e. Fall and Spring), you will need to complete a new RVT Application for admission to the program. Mt. SAC will always maintain records of the classes taken at Mt. SAC.

***Failure to enroll in any Mt. SAC courses for 2 consecutive major terms requires College re-enrollment.
