Welcome to the Yuba College Psychiatric Technology Website

Yuba College offers a Psychiatric Technology program at the Marysville Campus. Classes start in the Fall semester, and the program consists of four full semester and one summer session. The program includes clinical experience, under the direct supervision of a clinical instructor, in agencies that provide services to the developmentally, mentally, and physically disabled.

Enrollment is limited in the clinical portion of the Psychiatric Technology program. There are no restrictions as to race, religion, gender, or marital status.

Applicants are responsible for meeting ALL requirements for placement on the wait list. To be eligible for the wait list, applicants MUST:

1. Complete the enclosed Yuba College Psychiatric Technology application.
2. Obtain an OFFICIAL copy of your high school or GED transcript (do NOT open sealed envelope) and ATTACH it to the application.
3. Have successfully completed a high school course of study (high school graduation or G.E.D.), and be at least 18 years of age by the date of license application.
4. Be in good physical and mental health.*
5. Be prepared to pass a random drug screen test.
6. Have a relatively "clear" criminal background as determined by a fingerprint check.
7. While the College will allow admittance into the Psychiatric Technology program to those students who may possess impairments that would preclude them from performing the physical and mental capabilities appropriate to the Psychiatric Technology profession, the affiliate hospitals and clinics have the right to refuse clinical access to those individuals who they believe do not meet performance or safety standards necessary to insure the proper treatment of their patients.
