Admission Requirements -
Radiologic Technology Program

To be favorably considered, applicants must document successful completion of all the following prerequisites:

1. Graduation from an approved high school or acceptable equivalent preparation.
2. Completion of the following courses with a grade of C or better:
   
   1. One year of high school algebra.
   2. One year of high school science: Biology with a laboratory, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry or Physics
3. A combined score of at least 800 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board.
   
   OR, as an alternative to the SAT:
   
   A 2.3 average in 14 semester hours of credit-bearing college courses. Eligible courses are: one mathematics or science, one English Composition or a course in which English Composition is a prerequisite. Other courses are a part of the Radiologic Technology core curriculum (general education courses), each of which must have been completed with a grade of C or better. One credit-bearing college course may be equivalent to one year of high school study.

Applicants must submit to the Admissions Office all relevant official transcripts (high school and college courses, if any; SAT, if scores are not recorded on other transcripts) by the June 1 application deadline. Currently enrolled CCC students wishing to be considered for admission to the Radiological Technology program must forward a letter requesting consideration to the Director of Admissions by the June 1 application deadline. Students must have successfully completed the Placement Test prior to the admission deadline.

Because enrollment is limited, not all qualified applicants can be accepted. Admissions decisions will be based on academic standing with emphasis placed on math and science courses required for the curriculum. Applicants will be notified of their status by mail in July. Final acceptance is contingent upon documentation of a physical examination, and required immunizations.

All health information documentation must be on file in the Department of Nursing and Health Careers by August 15 of the admitting year, or the applicant’s place in the program may be relinquished.

Completed application must be submitted by June 1 each year. Files must be complete before applicants can be considered. Qualified applicants will be required to attend a mandatory information session in June or July.
