Applying to the CVT Program
Application Process
The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College
District and Grossmont College do not discriminate on the basis
of race, religion, color, national origin, sex (including sexual
harassment), handicap (including physical and mental disability,
medical condition, age, status as a Vietnam-era veteran, marital
status, or economic status in any of their policies, procedures,
or practices. This nondiscrimination policy covers admission and
access to, as well as treatment and employment in, the College's
programs and activities, including vocational education.
Cardiovascular Technology is a highly
technical component of the Allied Health field. It is desirable
that the student enter the Program with a strong foundation in
English language skills, mathematics, and related sciences.
Because of the increasing number of patients who speak a
language other than English, a second-language proficiency is an
asset.
Application Procedure
The Cardiovascular Technology Program at
Grossmont College accepts approximately 40 students each year
as dictated by staffing, laboratory and instrumentation
availability, and the number of clinical sites available for
student assignment during the second year of training.
For applicants who are interested in learning more about the
CVT Program, the Program Coordinator holds Program Preview
meetings on the 2nd Thursday of each month of
the Academic calendar (except in the month of August) at 09:00 AM
in Building 34, room to be determined. Prospective
applicants are encouraged (although not required) to attend for information on
prerequisites, structure of the Program, employment
opportunities and career paths. Email the CVT Office @
grossmont-CVT-Info@gcccd.edu if you would like to attend; include the following information. Subject Program
Preview, Last Name, First Name, phone number. The CVT office will email you the Program Preview
information. For information on general
education requirements or to develop an educational plan,
contact the Grossmont College Counseling Center for an
appointment, (619) 644-7208.
To apply for admission to the Cardiovascular
Technology Program the following steps must be taken:
- Complete the
prerequisite courses.
This must be completed before an applicant can submit an
application and be added to the
waitlist.
- Upon completion of prerequisite courses,
request two official college transcripts for all college credit
earned. You will submit one to Grossmont College Admissions and
Records. The second set of transcripts you will need to have
mailed to you in an official sealed envelope. You will need to
put in an envelope the following: Official
sealed transcripts for the required prerequisites and proof of
completion of High School, GED, or a higher degree), completed CVT
Program application, and proof of
immunizations.
See Home Page for
required list of immunizations. The completed packet must be hand delivered to the CVT desk
(Bldg. 34-256). If you live outside of San Diego County you may
mail in your completed application packet. Applications for the CVT Program

Application for Admission Form. If by mail it is important that you send
it to the Attention of the
Cardiovascular Technology Program Grossmont College,

- If you took the prerequisite courses outside of GCCCD, and
the college is not listed on the Equivalency Chart, you
must submit official transcripts and course descriptions to the
CVT office
with your application. International applicants are required to
submit to IERF (International Education Research Foundation,
Inc.) or a Grossmont College accepted credential evaluation
service, for review of transcripts for proof of high school and
college/university coursework.
-
- If the pre-requisites have been completed at Grossmont College
or Cuyamaca College an official transcript
is not required of the
student, as that information is accessible to the program staff.
- For pre-requisites completed at all other institutions, official
transcripts are required. It is recommended that applicants
obtain sealed official transcripts by mail (sent to their personal
address) or in person. Transcripts must remain UNOPENED.
Include the un-opened official transcripts WITH a CVT
application and mail it as a COMPLETE package to the attention of
the CVT Program.
- In addition, for each pre-requisite not listed on the Equivalency
Grid of
San Diego Area Community College, please include a copy of the
course description copied out the appropriate College Catalog (print
or online version).
- Applications are accepted and
reviewed once you have submitted a COMPLETE application package.
- Applicants are added to the wait list on a "first-come,
first-served" basis after prerequisite courses are completed
and a COMPLETE application package, including transcripts and
courses descriptions (if applicable) are received in the CVT
office.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that
all transcripts have been received by the Cardiovascular
Technology Office and that all information on the
application is correct and kept up to date.
