There is no application deadline. There is a formal admission process to the second year of the program. The second year begins in Fall quarter of each year. Students who will have completed all the first-year courses by Fall quarter are qualified to apply. To be considered, students must express their intention in writing to the Program Chair by February 1 of the same year.
Winter quarter advising day serves as interview day for applicants.
Advising notice is sent to all HIM students who wish to be considered for the second year and plan to graduate in either June or August of the following year. Students attend Winter quarter advising. Prospective second-year students are given a tentative academic plan for course scheduling through projected graduation date. Following Winter quarter advising day, the program chair and faculty meet to review applicant files for acceptance. Selection criteria is outlined in the Health Information Management Program Handbook available from the Allied Health office.
