Note: Conviction of a misdemeanor or felony may indicate lack of good moral character for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists' (ARRT) purposes. Pre-application review procedures are in place to allow individuals who are not yet enrolled in an educational program to determine if a conviction would interfere with exam eligibility. Visit www.arrt.org for more information.
Completion of the Admission Requirements does not guarantee admission into this highly competitive program. Selection is by means of a point system based upon courses and grades in the applicant's background, SAT or ACT score, aptitude test score, and reference checks. An interview process for the top scholastic candidates will be conducted as well.
Courses in Progress
The deadline for submission of all application materials is March 1; however, applicants who have a required college course "in progress" at the time of application will be allowed to apply with documented evidence of enrollment in that course from their college. In the event that a student is accepted under these circumstances, the acceptance will be contingent upon completion of all required courses by the end of the current spring semester with an acceptable grade as stated above.
Because a point system is used, students with all required courses completed and grades issued prior to the deadline of March 1 may have an advantage over those who have not yet completed all the required courses at the time of application.
