Application Procedure and Selection

Application Steps

Admission to the Radiologic Technology Program is in the SUMMER SESSION ONLY. This program is twenty five (25) months in length, including three summer intersessions.

All students preparing for entrance to the program are required to meet with a general counselor and request a transcript evaluation or review.

Sometimes it can take up to three weeks to meet with a counselor.  In order to make sure you are able to have a counselor review your application ahead of the deadline, you should have your counseling appointment scheduled by January 1st.

Appointments may be scheduled by calling 650-306-3452 or online through your student portal.  Additional information about the Counseling Department as well as instructions for how to schedule an appointment through your student portal can be found below.
