APPLICATION PROCESS
The Cal Poly Pomona Application ( Word format) and ADA Reference Forms (PDF format) may be downloaded from this website. Please note that the application is slightly different than the ADA Application form. It is to your advantage to use the application form specific to Cal Poly Pomona, however the ADA Form will be accepted. The Cal Poly Pomona Dietetic Internship participates in the matching process through D&D Digital. Please see directions below.
OTHER NEEDED FORMS
Since we have a large number of individuals who read your packet, it is necessary for us to require a signed release allowing the packet to be circulated. The Release Form is available from this website. Please include it in your package.
If you have completed your degree more than five years previously, include the Recency of Education Form, also available on this website.

The application packet must be postmarked by February 15, 2008 and MUST be complete when received by the Program Director. Materials, including recommendations, sent under separate cover, and incomplete packages will NOT be accepted. Photocopies will not be accepted; all materials must be original.

Please check other mailing options so the postmark date is readily visible. Registered and regular mail may take up to 2 weeks to arrive. Select your mailing option carefully.
MATCHING INFORMATION
All applicants to Dietetic Internships (DI) must participate in computer matching. Applicants should request instructions and a mark/sense card to prioritize their DI. Applicants should request this material from any ADA-Approved Didactic Program in Dietetics or from D & D Digital Systems. This request should be made to allow turn around time for submitting by the February 15, 2008 postmark deadline. There is no charge for this material. However, there is a $50.00 charge for computer matching that is due with the applicant's prioritized ranking.
