My Portfolio. Back to Top Print-Friendly Page opens a new window. Jan 13, Students must provide an official transcript s from an accredited institution to document successful completion of college coursework for the ACDV requirement to be waived.

Students in the School of Health Professions are expected to conduct themselves according to an honor code; exhibit professional behavior; communicate effectively in English; provide proof of health insurance, immunizations, American Heart Association CPR BLS for Providers , and a tuberculosis TB test; and submit to a criminal background check and drug testing.

Students are expected to pay the costs associated with these requirements. The Radiography Program is a selective admission program, and enrollment in this program is competitive and limited by the availability of clinical facilities. One class is selected each year from applicants who have applied to the program by April15 to be considered for the class that enters in the fall. Students must also have an overall GPA of 2. Since only a limited number of students are accepted each year, prospective students should contact the School of Health Professions SHP Admissions Office for the current admissions criteria.

Students must achieve a minimum overall score of proficient for consideration. Applicants are required to spend a day of observation in the radiography program lab to learn about the radiography profession and the demands of the radiography program. The radiography program can only be pursued on a full-time basis because of the clinical experiences required to fulfill course requirements. Students are encouraged to plan their financial resources because full-time employment is not possible while enrolled in the radiography courses.
