DMS Application Process

Deadlines

For your application to be considered, all prerequisite classes, educational degrees, and direct patient care experience requirements must be completed no later than the day grades are posted, in the year you are applying. There are no exceptions.

The Cosumnes River College Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program admission for Spring 2023 will be paused. The students currently enrolled will receive the support they need to complete their studies. We have yet to determine an anticipated new admission date for the next cohort.

Please check back on this website for any further information. If you have any questions, please contact Dean Kris Hubbard at hubbark@crc.losrios.edu.

Required Documents

All required documents must be uploaded in the online application or the application will be incomplete and not considered.

When filling out the online application, you will be asked to upload:

1. Unofficial transcripts from all colleges attended. We are not able to obtain transcripts from other offices on campus; they must be uploaded in the online application. (Official transcripts must be sent to the college separately. See Submit Transcripts and Test Scores.)
2. Current Grade Status (PDF) form(s) for prerequisite courses in-progress, if applicable
3. Course waiver(s) received for prerequisite courses, if applicable
4. Proof of other certifications, licenses and/or credentials i.e. RT, CRT, RN, CNA, LVN, PT, EMT, etc.
5. Proof of previous patient care experience (timesheet or letter from employer - see this guideline (PDF) as an example).
6. Letter of Interest
7. Standard Resume - up to past 10 years employment
8. Professional letter(s) of recommendation - recent please (limit 2)

Some information requested on the application is voluntary; however, failure to provide key eligibility information may result in you being deemed ineligible to participate in the program.

The intent in requesting this information is not to exclude participation in the program, but rather to identify characteristics that may be a factor in determining eligibility.

The information provided will be kept confidential.

Qualified applicants will be drawn randomly to form a pool of finalists. If there is still space available, two additional qualified candidates will be drawn from the original pool as alternates. Alternates gain a seat in the program only if one becomes vacant and only during the first Summer session. There is no wait list. Applicants not selected will need to re-apply.
