Admission Requirements

Radiographic Positioning LabFor a detailed explanation of the program's admission requirements and application process, download the program's admission packet.

Admission Requirement Summary

  • High school graduate or GED
  • Cumulative college GPA of 2.0 or above
  • Prerequisite GPA of 2.5 or above in the following core courses with a grade of "C" or above earned in each course:
    • BIO-1221: Anatomy and Physiology for Medical Imaging
    • ENG-1010: College Composition I
    • DMS-1351: Patient Care Skills
    • MATH-1410 or higher: Elementary Probability and Statistics or higher
    • MA-1020: Medical Terminology I
    • PSY-1010: General Psychology

Core courses may be repeated only once to improve a grade below "C."

BIO-2331 and BIO-2341 together may substitute for BIO-1221.

Effective fall 2024, the math requirement will change to MATH-1410 Elementary Probability and Statistics or higher; MATH 1240 will no longer be offered.  However, MATH 1240 or higher will continue to be accepted for program admission. 

Core courses must be taken for a traditional letter grade. The pass/no pass option for core and program courses will not be accepted.

There is no time limit on core courses.  However, applicants are advised that they will be held accountable for the content of core courses when they begin the program.  Applicants are strongly advised to review math and skeletal anatomy prior to beginning the program.

  • At least 18 years of age at the start of the program
  • Mandatory program information session.  Attendance at an information session must be completed prior to program entry.  Students must sign in to document their attendance, attend the entire session and are encouraged to bring a support person.  
  • Acceptable background check results.

It is very important that applicants understand that the College's determination of acceptable background check results for the purpose of admission to the educational program does NOT guarantee a similar determination by other entities (i.e. clinical affiliates, professional certifying organizations [i.e. American Registry of Radiologic Technologists] and/or future employers).  Students with a history of prior conviction should be prepared and will be required to comply with the requirements of clinical and accrediting agencies throughout the course of their educational program and career.
