Sonography Program Information Session

Traditional Sonography Program applicants are required to complete the Self-paced Information Session and attend at least one Live Virtual Information Session.

Applicants must complete the Self-paced Information Session first and receive a confirmation email before signing up for a Live Virtual Information Session. Re-applicants are encouraged to repeat both information sessions on an annual basis.

Complete Sonography Student Lab Sessions for DMS, DCS, and VT:

Must be completed in the ACC Sonography Programs Labs at the Eastview or Round Rock campuses.
For DMS and VT session appointments call (512) 223-5945 (Eastview Campus).
For DCS and VT session appointments call (512) 223-0294 (Round Rock Campus).
A minimum of 1 session for each specialty is required. Additional points can be earned on the Applicant Ranking Worksheet for volunteering up to 4 sessions per each specialty lab session. See the Selection Process section below for more details about earning bonus points.
You will receive a Sonography Student Lab Volunteer Session tracking form at your first volunteer session appointment. You must bring this form to every volunteer session appointment.
If you do not keep an appointment and you do not call ahead of your appointment to reschedule, you are considered a No Call, No Show. The missed appointment will NOT be rescheduled resulting in a loss of points on your Applicant Ranking Worksheet.
Formal Patient Care Education is required to apply. The State of Texas CNA training is the minimum training accepted for this requirement.
- CNA courses are offered through the ACC Continuing Education Division. Call (512) 223-7271 for more information.
- If taking CNA at ACC, both NURA 1001 and NURA 1060 must be completed. A CNA license is not required to apply to a sonography program.
- Immunizations, TB test, and Criminal Background Checks are required.
- CNA is waived only for those applicants who have previously completed EMT-Basic, EMT-Paramedic, Radiologic Technology, RN, LVN, Physical Therapist Assistant, Certified Medical Assistant, or hospital-based Patient Care Tech training or program (see next bullet).
- Applicants may substitute Patient Care Tech (PCT) training in lieu of CNA training. Patient Care Techs are trained by the facility at which they are employed. Applicants will need to provide either: a certificate/diploma documenting completion of PCT training or a signed letter from their employer on company letterhead (HR usually provides this). The letter must include dates, job titles(s), and a job description.
