| To gain entrance into
the radiography program the following
list has been established to help you
understand the process. |
| 1. |
All transcripts must be received before
the Jan 15th deadline |
| 2. |
You must fill out an application every
year that you want to get into the program.
If you did not get in the first attempt,
then you need to remember to fill out
an application for the next year. Applicants
must fill out a new application each
year they wish to be considered for
the program. |
| 3. |
Developmental course work in English,
reading, and math must be completed
to enter the program. To be competitive
it is recommended that it be completed
by the Jan 15th deadline. |
| 4. |
GPA is used to determine a large percent
of the student’s acceptance into
the program. The most current GPA of
at least 10 hours is recorded and used
in the calculation process. So, if you
only have 6 hours at SCC, then your
previous GPA would be used whether it
is your high school GPA or previous
college GPA. Developmental courses do
not count towards GPA or hours. |
| 5. |
We strongly recommend that you
do 40 hours of observation at a
local hospital to be certain that
this field is for you. You get points
for this observation. There is an
official observation form used for
documentation. This observation
will be asked for at the interview.
Interviews are usually done at the
end of March or the first of April.
