Program Overview
The radiography curriculum consists of general and clinical education. General education is concerned with instruction in the humanities, basic sciences, mathematics, and computer technology. The clinical course work in radiography utilizes a competency-based system and provides students with instruction in professional radiography to prepare them for an active role in the profession.
Progression in The Radiologic Technology Program
A student is allowed to progress in the Radiologic Technology Program provided competency is demonstrated in required didactic and clinical courses at the end of each semester. In order to achieve progress status and remain in good academic standing, the student must:
- Achieve a minimum grade of C (77%) in all professional courses.
- Complete physical exam and drug test.
- Maintain continuous enrollment in the Radiologic Technology curriculum sequence.
- Maintain current certification in CPR for health professionals.
- Maintain current TB screening.
Non-Progression in The Radiologic Technology Program
A student who does not achieve a C or better in any RADT course may not continue in the program sequence. In order to achieve progression status after failure to earn a grade of C or better in a RADT course, the student must repeat the course. A student may repeat only one course in the RADT curriculum. The students must achieve a grade of C or better in all remaining courses throughout the RADT curriculum in order to continue progression.
Readmission/Re-Entry Following Placement in Non-Progression Status
- A student who has not achieved a satisfactory grade of C or better is placed on non- progression status and must apply for re-admission to the Radiologic Technology Program.
- Complete and return an application for readmission to the Division of Allied Health Sciences with the Application Fee.
- Required to submit a letter with the application to the Program Director requesting readmission, explaining the circumstances under which one left the program, and specify actions taken to increase the potential for success in the program
- Students will be permitted to repeat only one course in the Radiologic Technology Program. Students will be allowed one readmission/re-entry.
Readmission/re-entry is not guaranteed. The Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee will evaluate all applications for readmission and make recommendations to the division chair dean of Allied Health.
Dismissal Radiologic Technology Program for Academic Reasons
A readmitted student who fails to achieve a grade of “C” or better for a repeated course will be dismissed from the program. The student may not apply for readmission nor re-enroll in the program. A student that withdraws from the program after re-entry may not apply for readmission nor re-enroll in the program.
