The general admission requirements and minimum Selection Requirements must be completed by March 1 of the year the applicant wishes to be admitted.  A “point system” will be utilized to evaluate all qualified applicants.  Once all eligible applicants have been evaluated and ranked, students will be admitted from the highest ranking to the lowest, until all spaces are filled.  If there are more eligible candidates than there are spaces available, a waiting list will be developed.  If the class is not filled, a second evaluation will be implemented after June 1.  Students who apply after March 1st will be evaluated as spaces are available. 

The Admissions Committee reserves the right to include Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) as a part of the admission process.  If you have a CGPA below 2.0, see a counselor to discuss options for remedial measures prior to applying to the Radiologic Technology program. 

Students who have completed 24 credit hours and have a CGPA below 2.0 must complete CSS 100 Student Success Skills with a “C” or better prior to applying to Radiologic Technology program.
