Drug Screens

Southeast Technical College requires drug screens for all students entering Law Enforcement, Early Childhood Specialist, Veterinary Technician and Healthcare programs*. This is to ensure a safe clinical or practicum environment for both students and the public, and to meet the contractual requirements of area healthcare facilities. 

*Medical Coding programs are exempt from this requirement.

Students needing a drug screen for admission or to register for program classes may use any facility of their choice that can do a Non-DOT 5 panel drug test, as long as the results are sent directly to Southeast Technical College. 

Drug Screen Information

  • This is a self-pay drug test.
  • Drink no more than 40 oz of water within a three-hour period prior to the testing.
  • Bring a photo ID with you.
  • Bring a copy of the Drug Screen form for your provider to complete and send back to STC with the test results.
