After being accepted into the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program, the courses in the curriculum are progressive in nature with one course building on the preceding course.  Because of this progressive relationship, all courses in a session must be successfully completed with a grade of “C” or better in order to continue to the next session.  If a student achieves less than a “C” or withdraws before or after the college deadline, from any course that is required for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Associate in Science Degree, they will not be allowed to continue in the program.

Students who are not allowed to continue in the program may make a petition for readmission to the Health Sciences Petition Committee.

Students wishing to satisfy requirements for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Associate in Science Degree with courses other than those identified, should seek advisement from the Health Sciences Program Advisor.

Admission to the College does not imply acceptance to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program, a specific Sonography application is required.  The Health Science Department provides academic and career counseling and information about specific admission criteria.
