Information on Health Petition requirements including Third Party vendors 

What is CastleBranch and how do I purchase?

If a student is interested in entering a Health Program they must complete a BACKGROUND CHECK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM in order to register for classes.  This is completed as part of the Admission process and prior to petitioning

After you have * petitioned and been accepted to start the program,  MATC's  HEALTHCARE PATHWAY will email you with the specific package code or codes to purchase your program's CastleBranch requirements: Purchases are made under "Place Order" in your CastleBranch account.​ 

One exception: There is no petition requirement for the Nursing Assistant program. CastleBranch requirements will be required to complete 

Students pay directly to CastleBranch for the service.

What is required in CastleBranch & how often do I need to complete each requirement?

Students who have petitioned and been accepted into a Health Program will be notified by the School of Health Sciences to complete their remaining CastleBranch​ requirements.  After you've purchased your requirements, CastleBranch will notify you via email when requirements are about to expire. Always include your lab documentation records as an upload, along with the MATC forms. 

You may find your lab records on the Wisconsin Immunization Registry.
