Students who leave or are not permitted to progress in the diagnostic medical sonography course sequence due to the academic standards policy have the right to request re-entry into the program. This may or may not be granted based on the condition of dismissal and the student’s current academic record.

To request re-entry:

1. The student completes a new application to the program along with a letter requesting re-entry into the program and the requested date of re-entry.
2. The faculty meets to decide the student’s re-entry into the program. The clinical instructor(s), radiology administrator from the student’s previous clinical education site(s), and advisory committee may have input into the process. Factors considered before re-entry include the student’s cause for leaving or dismissal as well as possible future success in the program.
3. The decision on re-entry will be sent to the student within two weeks of the decision.
4. The re-entry date is up to the diagnostic medical sonography faculty.
5. A student may or may not be re-entered into the same clinical education setting as before, depending on circumstances.
6. A student who re-enters the program must meet all of the requirements of the program and the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography certification examination, which includes both academic and clinical competencies.
7. The program has the right to deny a student re-entry into the program. A student who disagrees with the decision has the option of following the due process policy of the program.
8. A student who does NOT wish to re-enter the program is encouraged to seek advising with student services at the Salem Campus for an alternate career pathway.
