Radiologic Technology Program

Selection Criteria

The Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee shall consider the highest ranking scores to the maximum number admissible students as admitted to the next official class. Alternates are chosen by the Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee in rank order, based upon available space in the class, until the published last day to enroll for the term in which the class is scheduled to begin.

The Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee reviews and certifies the eligibility of all applicants as defined in the Procedures and Criteria for Admission.

  1. The Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee ranks the applicants using the following criteria:

  1. College-level GPA GPA x 2                                         

  2. Prerequisite course GPA GPA x 2                                   

  3. Score on the Health Occupations Aptitude Test score/100                             

  1. The Director of Admissions and Records calculates the earned Admission Index of each eligible applicant and ranks all applicants accordingly.
  2. The Admission Index is derived by the earned score on each of the selected criteria listed above.
  3. Each applicant and each alternate shall be notified, in writing, of their admission status.
  4. Each admitted applicant must formally accept admission, in writing, by the specified date. The student's medical record, along with documentation of measles, Hepatitis B vaccinations, drug screen and a TB screening test must be submitted to the Radiologic Technology Program Director,  prior to Radiologic Technology Orientation.
  5. If an admitted applicant declines admission or fails to notify the Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee of acceptance by the designated date, the student’s position in the class will become vacant and offered to the next highest ranking alternate.
  6. Eligible applicants who fail to gain admission to a given class may reapply for admission to the next official class. Those who do so will be evaluated and ranked in accordance with the above procedures and without consideration to previous evaluation and ranking. Rank in one admission process does not establish any right to the same rank or similar rank within another admission process.
Appeal of Admissions Index and Ranking

If an applicant does not agree with the Admissions Committee’s calculation of the Admission Index or assigned rank, the applicant may request a review by the Allied Health Department Head and, subsequently, by the Dean of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Health Sciences. Such appeals must be made in writing within 15 working days of the date on which the notice of the applicant’s admission status was mailed.
