Application Documents
NOTE: Print out this application checklist to ensure you submit all required documents.
- Application form

- Your educational and work background
- How you became interested in the program of study for which you are applying

Interviews
All prospective students are REQUIRED to have a personal interview. You will be notified after the application deadline regarding your interview time. Please call the education director at (801) 585-6753 to arrange a convenient time for interview and travel, if you live out of state.
Interviews for each program will take place at the following times:
- Nuclear Medicine: February
- Ultrasound: March/April
- Radiography: March/April
- MRI and CT: Approximately 2 months before the start of the next session unless otherwise requested.
- Mammography: rolling interviews
Selection
A committee from each area will select the students for the next academic session. Selection will be based on the following considerations:
- Overall GPA
- Pre-requisite courses GPA
- Scores on reference forms
- Interview scores
- Career goals
Selection is generally completed by April 15th for the nuclear medicine program. MRI and CT students will be selected by May 1st for the July session and November 1st for the January session.
Department Tours
Brief department tours will be conducted during the allotted interview time, and for those who have traveled from out of state, a longer length of time will be devoted to ensure that all questions are answered. Observation times where the prospective student watches a technologist during their work day must be scheduled during a separate time. Interview days accommodate several students and observation during this time impacts the technologist's attention. The exception to this is with out-of-state students who travel long distances for an interview. For these students, at the time your interview is made let the education director know that you would like to do some observation so that this can be accommodated.
Non-Acceptance and Re-Application
Students who are not accepted will be notified by mail and informed of the reason: either the lack of space or competition. These students they have the following options:
Space Availability
These students were considered acceptable for admission but because of limited clinical placements they could not be accommodated. They will be encouraged to apply for the next program session and will be allowed to use the application documents that were originally submitted.
Competition
These students are applicants who had a less favorable application score than the other applicants. Scores are affected by GPA, reference evaluations and/or interview scores. Students are allowed to reapply to their program modality no more than three (3) times. Each time, they must submit new reference evaluations, an updated biography, updated transcripts (if applicable), a new application fee, and a current resume. The original application materials will be retained in their file for consideration.
